Once again I repeat. It is not your business to defend the government, your primary allegiance is to the nation not the government of the day. Where they are wrong, call them out!
Before we compare Kenya to London and other “middle income countries”, let us examine our reality.
Sit with Wafula, a boda boda rider in Gitaru, and walk through his day. From morning to evening, he might make 15–20 short distance trips. On a good day, he brings in about Ksh 1,500–2,000.
Out of that, fuel takes a significant share, now add bike repayment or rent, a little for maintenance, and by the end of the day, what is left is barely enough to take care of his family needs, let alone save.
This is the reality for many Kenyans.
The issue is what fuel costs a Kenyan whose income has not kept pace, whose business depends on daily movement, and whose survival is tied to every shilling spent at the pump.
In the UK, higher prices exist alongside higher incomes, reliable public transport, functioning healthcare, and social systems that return value to the taxpayer.
Hapa Kenya, hizo mizigo zote ni za mwananchi, who already is stretched, with little cushioning and even less return.
So the question remains, is fuel affordable for Kenyans, within our reality?
The government must answer that without comparisons, but with solutions that ease the pressure on everyday lives.
There is a disturbing but almost unbelievable report aired on NTV.
Samburu Governor Lati Lelelit and several county water officials were summoned by the Senate to explain how KSh 68 million of public money disappeared.
According to the governor, they travelled to Nairobi in separate vehicles to face the Senate.
But as they approached the city… something strange happened.
The officials who were supposed to explain the missing money allegedly switched off their phones and disappeared.
Just like that.
So the Senate was left questioning a governor while the very officials responsible for the funds simply vanished from the process.
My fellow Kenyans, pause for a moment and think about what this means.
If this country is serious about fighting corruption, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission should already be treating this as a criminal investigation.
Because when public officials run away from accountability, they are not just avoiding questions, they are insulting the citizens whose money they were entrusted to protect.
no one prepared me for the fact that when you have a 9-5 you can't like. go to the dentist or the doctor or anything anymore. because you work. and when you don't work they're closed.
No amount of gaslighting would make me mourn a kenyan politician,do kenyans collectivly suffer from chronic amnesia? Mnataka tulie juu raila amekufa???🤣🤣
