"Utengeneze hizo mitaro na bado ujue wewe ni wantam!" - Angry Kiambu residents tell Ruiru MCA as they reject chicks and piglets from the county government.
The current parliament is the worst. Explain how is KRA unilaterally increasing tax on the 40 feet container from 2.5M to 3.5M for imports, knowing very well that Kenya is a net importer? This will literally make life unaffordable. How did we get here?
That time they arrested Lichuma from Mathare social justice, threw him on a lorry. High above them, he proceeded to give them a few truths on why Kenyans are protesting. Waliaibika mpaka akashuka.
They had a fugazi winning streak playing one game per week and suddenly they forgot how to behave. First time they have played 2 games in a week and they get back to default settings.
Parliament has invited your views on the Turkana Oil FDP that we are considering currently. You should pay attention because this is Ruto’s biggest scandal yet.
1. The ownership of the Company that is to produce the oil (Gulf Energy, Formerly Tullow) changed names and hands multiple times in a matter of weeks. Days even. Your lawyer will tell you thats symptomatic of attempts to mask real ownership. It is telling that the current FDP was approved by government days after the last ownership changes.
2. The Original production contract has been varied a million times. Most notably on 25th November 2025 just days after the last ownership changes, to raise the maximum recoverable cost for petroleum production from the initial 55% to 85%. Kenyans will never see any real benefit from that oil.
3. On the same day Clause 27(2)(b) was amended to expand the definition of capital
expenditure to include expenditure on labour, fuel, repairs, maintenance,
hauling, mobilisation and supplies and materials relating to production,
development, exploration and appraisal and decommissioning costs. We may basically never see a coin from our oil.
4. Crucially, we in the Senate passed the Local Content bill which requires the oil company to utilize locally available resources including labour and supplies. They have cleverly made the current agreement with Gulf exempt from such legislation.
We don’t have leaders. We have dealers in government who don’t care about anything other than themselves.
@NoCountryHere Another day to remind ourselves things to carry to the polling station next time:
1) An ID
2) A functional brain.
NB: If the number 2 item is out of order, kindly stay at home.
Class dismissed. 😌
@mikewachira I like this african proverb I recently came across that says:
A country led by fools prays more than it's plans. ~ African proverb
It's good that God's on the side of justice, but how are WE planning on using our God-given free will to deliver our nation?
Food for thought.
Rose Njeri opened our eyes on what was awaiting us if the 2025 Finance Bill goes through.
She is being intimidated for speaking for struggling Kenyans.
