Lol. Good question

[Donna Mugoh @Eddie_Mugoh]

If you know our government is incompetent, corrupt, inept and full of killers,

Why vote for us again?

@sholard_mancity This regime is setting the bar too low in everything it touches. We say SHA is not working because we know what we enjoyed through NHIF. They provide ridiculously low coverage, and when they pay for it, they confidently brag that SHA is working. We are not on the same page

@sholard_mancity A. Salaries should not exceed 300k

@Wanjiru2027 If you knew what Matiba suffered at the hands of Moi, you wouldn't post such things. I've always been a Kibaki supporter, but even I know it was Kibaki's later entry that allowed Moi to retain his seat. That's why the opposition joined hands in 2002 and fronted one candidate

@Dr__Nyongesa Tukieka emotions kando, we'll remember both were in govt, and neither was for the people when we were protesting. Tulivote emotionally in 2022, yet manz had shown us who he was. We ignored it. Let's be wiser now

@Kibet_bull Na ni sawa pia if he does. We are not confused about what we want. Our goal won't change because someone/anyone has had a "change of heart"

@PaddockGirl_44 Mi hata staki murram roads. These guys are short-changing us. Tupewe clearly tarmacked roads. The nation loses 2b daily, and the incumbent donates 20M in fundraisers. That is money that can tarmac roads

[Cyprian, Is Nyakundi @C_NyaKundiH]

For years, “marginalisation” has been the easiest political excuse whenever people ask why parts of Nyanza still lack decent roads, jobs and infrastructure, yet Homa Bay alone has been allocated roughly Sh88 BILLION in equitable share since devolution, with about Sh33 BILLION coming during Gladys Wanga’s term.

At some point the excuses must end, and they must end permanently.

Too many political elites have treated community grievances as bargaining chips for their own stomachs. Every handshake somehow produces Cabinet seats, appointments, influence and access for politicians, while wananchi are told to wait for development and prepare for another election so that they can continue fighting “marginalisation.”

Ol Kalou exposed everything, and Kenyans were shocked. When Ruto desperately needed votes, government machinery moved at incredible speed and roads were suddenly being tarmacked within hours, not days. That showed us what political will can actually do.

The era where one powerful politician simply lifted somebody’s hand and everyone was expected to fall in line faded with Raila, and that is exactly why some of us have questioned Rigathi’s attempt to build DCP around the same personality driven politics. We do not need another Raila. That era should be over.

Rigathi and many politicians of his generation are billionaires today, largely through proximity to government, tenders and political influence. Where are the industries behind that wealth? In serious economies, many of the richest people built factories, technology companies, financial institutions and businesses employing thousands of people.

That is also why saying “we will cross the bridge when we get there” is stupid politics. By the time you reach that bridge, somebody has already decided who owns it.

Homa Bay is also a warning about what happens when leaders know performance is not necessarily required for political survival. For years, endorsement from the top could practically guarantee somebody votes regardless of what they had delivered on the ground.

That culture must die.

We cannot remove one kingmaker only to manufacture another one in Rigathi. Leaders should earn support through roads, jobs, electricity, healthcare, industries and actual performance, not because somebody powerful lifted their hand at a rally.

[Alfayaz 11 @Alfayaz11]

Some of these leaders preside over counties where poverty is glaring, basic services barely exist and the state of their towns exposes spectacular incompetence. Meanwhile, they somehow live in obscene opulence, they own palatial homes, dress like lords, own fleets of luxury cars and, for some, even choppers.

Most of them have no known serious industry, enterprise or record of creating anything that could reasonably explain wealth most hardworking people could not accumulate in one or even two lifetimes. Some could hardly successfully manage a kiosk, yet somehow emerge as billionaires while the people they claim to represent remain desperately poor. The businesses they have established only survive on the questionable wealth they have amassed and doing business with the governments they serve. Most of them have heavily invested in real estate as they have no clue of how to run a business.

Then comes the familiar cry: “Our people have been marginalised.”

Marginalised by whom exactly, when those entrusted with leadership became extraordinarily wealthy while their own people were left without the basics?

As usual, the now downgraded 527/- gang will arrive as sympathisers and explain that “they have been in opposition.” Unfortunately, this rot cuts across the majority of our counties, so that is a lazy argument and an even lamer excuse.

You were supposedly in opposition, amassed ridiculous wealth, live like royalty, while your people languished in poverty without basic services… yeah, right.

It is what it is.

[I am Chege @_James041]

Anytime you call out theft in North Eastern, they invent the word marginalization.

If you call out coastal thugs, they hide behind marginalization.

If you do the same in Nyanza, they run to the word, marginalization.

If you ask Otuoma why there are no roads in Busia, he tells you marginalization.

If you go to Rift Valley, they accuse you of being a tribalist because they can't even hide behind marginalization.

If you go to Eastern, they are also talking about marginalization.

And that begs the question, who pockets the equitable revenue being shared to counties?

Politicians must stop hiding behind the word marginalization any time we demand accountability.

You cannot be looting taxpayers money for personal enrichment and expect us to clap for you.

Hospitals are understaffed and don't have drugs.

Schools are underdeveloped. Roads are pathetic but we are here talking about marginalization.

Wajinga nyinyi!

[Evlyn Maina @MainaEvlyn]

@KenMwohe I think that narrative is breaking. Things are being exposed and people are begining to see politicians for who they are

[James @MrJamesKe]

Mkiwachilia politicians waendelee kutumia excuse ya marginalisation every time they are called out on how Nyanza imekuwa underdeveloped, hamtawahi kuona proper development. Every time they are questioned, wanarudi kwa hiyo narrative ya marginalisation instead of accounting for what they have done with the resources entrusted to them.

[Cyprian, Is Nyakundi @C_NyaKundiH]

With all due Respect Mhesh.

Homa Bay has been allocated roughly Sh88 BILLION in equitable share alone since the start of devolution, and about Sh33 BILLION of that has come during Gladys Al Wanga’s term.

Why are Homabayians still being told “marginalisation” every time they ask why the roads look bad? 😭
