@Itumbi_Denis Maggot we are in Kenya and NOT other countries!!! Why sell wheelbarrow to buy limousines and private jets?

Kenya's President Ruto is under scrutiny over the cost of his US visit.
Luxury jet hire has been estimated at $1.5m amidst austerity measures and public outcry.
The government has defended the trip, but have Ruto's reasons won over critics?

I let the CX5 drive itself through the night all the way to Nairobi, I was more interested in utilizing these specific features;
1.MRCC
2. Adaptive I-ActiveSense
3. Lane Keep Assist

This is so far my observations, whether it’s useful or fancy non-useful gimmick

80% of Members of Parliament who are expected to vote for the Finance Bill do not know whats in it! Please call your MP and ask him/her what taxes are listed in the finance bill and you will be shocked to hear I don’t know!

250m for catering services
205m for entertainment

This is what Ruto’s bread tax is going to finance.

Talk of bleeding a leech to fatten a heifer.

Corruption, Misconduct and Abuse of Power Rocks Government Spokesman’s Office

The office of the Government Spokesman Isaac Maigua Mwaura is embroiled in a scandal of epic proportions with serious allegations of corruption and misconduct.

At the center of this controversy is crooked Personal Assistant to the Government Spokesman who also serves as the Chief of Staff.

He is accused of bullying, corruption and embezzlement of funds through manipulation of travel imprest for personal gain.

Samwel Maina, the PA in question, is also abusing his position by inflating job groups of staff close to him, including himself, to defraud the government.

Reports indicate that Maina pockets up to Ksh 14,000 per day, a rate unjustified by his job group, alongside an office administrator who is also implicated in the scandal.

He also writes himself and others into travel imprest for trips not taken.

The misuse of resources extends to questionable payments to journalists, hinting at a potential manipulation of the media to paint a rosier picture of the office’s operations.

But perhaps the most brazen act of misconduct involves a female student from NIBS College, ostensibly on attachment, who has been spending an excessive amount of time alongside Government Spokesperson Isaac Mwaura.

This young woman, whose attachment has become the talk of the town, seems to have found herself in a position that many would envy, yet few understand.

Sources say she loves to spend her sweet time inside Mwaura's official government vehicle whenever he is on his never ending trips watching and recording TikTok videos.

This has raised serious questions about the nature of her attachment and the propriety of her relationship with the Government Spokesman.

The story gets even more tantalizing with further reports that Mwaura recently dismissed one of his drivers under questionable circumstances following a late night altercation involving another lady referred to as Sapiyaya.

The driver was reportedly forced to exit the vehicle late at night and find his own way home, while while Mwaura gallantly arranged an Uber ride for Sapiyaya and even generously footed the bill for her return journey.

Could it be that the Government Spokesman's Office, an emblem of decency and decorum has become the stage for clandestine affairs?

One would wonder, how do these ladies fit into the grand scheme of his office and what would draw Mwaura, a figure of authority and influence, to them? Is it the allure of youth, the thrill of forbidden love or perhaps something deeper, more primal, hidden beneath the veneer of officialdom?

Do they see in Mwaura a mentor, a confidant or something more, perhaps a gateway to a world of power and privilege beyond their wildest dreams?

This situation calls for a thorough investigation to ensure that public funds are protected and that any misconduct within the office of the Government Spokesman is addressed with appropriate action.

Poor Elijah 😏

Assuming Elijah owns a Toyota Axio valued at 1.5 Million KES,

Then, the Proposed Motor Vehicle Tax means that Elijah will be paying about 37,500 KES/Year

That's an average of 3,125 KES per Month which will be coughed by Elijah from the Monthly Income

Remember that Elijah had paid nearly 450,000 KES at the Point of Importation of his Toyota Axio

Isitoshe, driving the same vehicle requires fuel, which attracts nearly 40% in tax for every liter consumed

So, if Elijah consumes like 50 Liters/Month, then, he pays taxes worth nearly 4,000 KES/Month

The same vehicle is also attracting an annual insurance estimated as around 4% of the value of the vehicle

The same insurance is also taxed

Elijah in some cases want to evade the heavy traffic in the City, and then opts to use the Express way, the same road is tolled

While Elijah would be happy to pay taxes and receive optimal services, the opposite happens

He has to look for private hospitals for health care since there is sub-optimal services in the MoH Hospitals, or they are not even available in his hood

He has to take his kids to a Private School, since there are Public Schools in his hood, and/or the quality is poor

He has to spend days in the dark, since power reliability is becoming a big challenge

He has to pay for security money in his estate, because there is no security

He has to regularly visit the garage, because the roads conditions especially off the main roads are in poor condition

Not to forget that Elijah’s Salary is deducted housing levy and yet he's paying rent where the landlord is about to increase house rent, as he is also expected to pay housing levy.

On the contrary, his tax is being used to pay Presidential Advisors nearly 2 Billion Annually

His tax is being used to make international presidential trips every 10 days

His tax is being used to import sub standard fertiliser and other inputs
