A government can track a poor person’s benefits, location, work hours, bank account, and medical records, but somehow cannot track where billions in public contracts disappear. Surveillance is always accurate when it targets the powerless.
I am deeply humbled by the resounding endorsement and stiff challenge from Hon. Huldah Momanyi, the first Kenyan-American elected representative in the US, during our #UkatibaCaravan stop in Minnesota.
Her voice carries far, both in Kenya and here in the Diaspora, and her support means a great deal to this journey.
Asante sana, @Huldah4House for your kind words. Challenge accepted.
If you live in a country that sends poor people to jail for using drugs, but doesn't send rich people to jail for raping kids, you live in a shit hole country.
Let me educate you, Affordable blogger
The model being used to construct this road is PPP (Public Private Partnership). In this case, an investor uses his own money to do the job, after which he will recoup his initial capital plus interest for a period of time by charging a fee to use the infrastructure.
In the case of the Rironi-Mau Summit road, the French company had been given the tender at a cost of Ksh 150 billion by Uhuru Kenyatta, but when Ruto took office he cancelled that contract and afterwards awarded it to a Chinese company at a cost of Ksh 200 billion.
In your mind, is that value for money? No one is against development, but all said and done, prudence and value for money is not an option but a requirement of good governance and public finance management, because it is not like Ruto is using money from his own pocket. He is using taxpayers' money, or money that Kenyans will pay for many years to come.
I might lose followers for this, but it must be said:
Netanyahu is a WAR CRIMINAL and his government uses White Phosphorus on women AND children.
He should be in prison!
Here in Kenya, we loathe him for his blatant human rights violations, his ruthless theft of public resources, and his absolute destruction of our national wealth!🤮🤮🤮🤮
I'm sorry, but what the actual fuck is the purpose of the UN, if Netanyahu can just walk through the doors and is allowed to speak at the general assembly while there is an international arrest warrant out for him?
What a fucking farce!
No wonder we don't get the best deals out there in international boardrooms. How can we, if the best we can send to represent and negotiate on behalf of Kenya are ICC suspects, NYS scammers, drug lords, and generally economic saboteurs? 🤔
