1. It’s short-term “feel-good” economics
Giving a small group boda bodas or cash looks like helping, but it doesn’t build lasting income.
Once the boda breaks down, the person is back where they started — no savings, no long-term plan.
It’s like giving someone fish instead of teaching them to fish.

2. It wastes huge amounts of public money
If you have 450B stolen/misused, and 1B given back to citizens, that’s less than 1% returned.
That 450B could have funded:
New factories that create thousands of jobs
Modern farms to boost food security
Affordable housing that grows wealth over decades
---
3. It ignores the root cause of poverty
Poverty in Kenya isn’t because people lack boda bodas — it’s because of:
Low-paying jobs
Poor infrastructure
High cost of goods
Unfavourable policies for small businesses
Without fixing these, the giveaways just hide the problem.
@PHIAMAX@MutahiNgunyi@WilliamsRuto Equitable distribution of national resources is a constitutional right & not a presidential favour. No region should beg for its share, & no group can block it. Let’s move beyond wastage through tokenism & uphold the rule of law. You can reason better. Can't you?
@WilliamsRuto Could kindly share Mr. Ban Ki-Moon's social media accounts if possible?
Its important we notify him what kind of leader is to the Kenyans who have been abducted,tortured and killed for asking this GOVERNMENT for Good Governance and Accountability instead he chooses corruption.
@UNHumanRights@volker_turk Always thought @UNHumanRights@hrw@IntlCrimCourt stood by democracy ,good governance and accountability only to live and understand y'all sit and sh*t on destruction of life,family and work.
African countries will always be the prey to these useless people.
This is OUR FIGHT!!
We know exactly where your interests lie @UNHumanRights… wherever there are minerals to extract illegally! We watched your agents siphon gold out of African countries in vehicles marked with the @UN logo! We've also witnessed #UnitedNations & all its daughter bodies turning a blind eye to & promoting prostitution within the organization under the guise of humanitarian work!
Stay out of #Africa's affairs! You are not neutral! You aren't innocent! You are part of the reason people are dying in Africa, not from war alone, but from the greed that hides behind blue helmets & white SUVs! The @UN has become obsolete & should be disbanded!
@Karanja_Mwaniki@UNHumanRights@volker_turk@USEmbassyKenya@USAmbKenya@UKinKenya Btw...and there have been protests in UK by Kenyan citizens and activists...na UK embassy here are totally silent on all the insanities Kenyans have had to endure...then this all means when King Charles visited him here in Nairobi, he gave him a greenlight to cause mayhem to us.
@UNHumanRights@volker_turk Start with this boy...he proudly gave a shoot to kill order. he's above the law, also take care he might order his dogs to bark at you and bite...his dogs aren't vaccinated against rabis
@Frankoketch@sholard_mancity Poor governance and lack of accountability from the head of State has destroyed this country and the young people are tired of lies and empty promises.
