Today’s matatu strike has exposed just how unstable Ruto’s regime has become.
The country is angry from every corner, and instead of listening, the government only knows how to threaten, dismiss and deploy force.
After Raila Odinga’s death, Ruto has lost the one political buffer that helped him. What remains now is the gun, that is why this evening Kenyans are being lectured by security chiefs.
Never before has a leader been this badly exposed.... surrounded by anger, rejected by the people, and surviving on fear instead of legitimacy.
My Ground General BABA Raila Odinga Hakunifunza Uoga...
Sitatishwa..
Sitababaishwa..
Sitaabudu Mfadhili Wenyu..
Sitakubali Chama Cha ODM Kuuzwa....
MIMi Ndio SIFUNA!!
Citizen TV has released yet another disturbing report from Mukuru Kwa Njenga.
Over 60 students obeyed the President’s directive to report to school, with or without fees.
They trusted the word of the State.
They showed up.
They were sent back home.
When leaders lie, children pay the price.
That is not policy failure; it is a lie told to parents and students.
I have placed this footage side by side with the President’s own declaration.
Watch carefully. Share widely.
Truth must be documented, not forgotten.
A Kenyan boy named Miringa is building a “People’s IEBC” that Kenyans will use to verify and tally the 2027 presidential votes. Its sole purpose will be verification, ensuring no one can manipulate the numbers!
The Mbeere North by-election will go down as one of the most expensive elections in Kenya’s electoral history. Ruto has already poured 483M into it.
Money allocated to fight Turkana’s food crisis is instead being misused as voter bribes.
This is why I have been saying everyday that the people of Kenya must refuse to pay loans they never benefited from.
The Accountants are now revealing that Ksh 1.7T withdrawn from the treasury is unaccounted for.
Just a month ago, the Auditor General also revealed that there are no projects to show for Ksh 1 Trillion expensive loans.
Where did that money go to? The money was looted, spent on PRs and mismanaged.
This begs the question, why are we paying illegally borrowed debts which we have never seen as the people of Kenya?
This is total madness.
#RutoMustGo #DrainTheSwamp
The European Parliament’s foreign affairs and development committees have formally objected to the disbursement of EU funds to Tanzania.
Committee Chair David McAllister earlier urged EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and Development Commissioner Jozef Síkela to freeze the cash flow.
A Commission source now confirms to POLITICO that funding for Tanzania’s 2025 action plan is already frozen.
If you have 32 minutes, I will show you how Nairobi County loses 32,949,346,981.
Yes, that's not a typo. KSH 32 billion.
Let me walk you through a trip to hell.
Data from 2023-2024.
The county had KSH 33 billion to spend. To serve 4.6 million residents.
The county employes around 16,000 people. 0.3% of the county population.
Step #1 - First order of business: Use 55% of the budget to pay salaries, to this 0.3% of the population.
That is KSH 18 billion. Now you have KSH 15 billion left.
You are told that the county entered into contracts with certain firms in 2021. The contracts were all supposed to lapse in 2022. They lapse. There are no extensions.
KSH 6.7 billion.
Side Note: Ghost workers galore. Quoting the auditor:
"Review of the bank remittance for April, May and June, 2024 revealed that seven thousand, seven hundred and seventy-seven (7,777), six thousand, one hundred twenty-three (6,123) and six thousand, eight hundred and three (6,803) officers respectively, shared the same bank accounts, agent code and branch code."
So let’s understand this fact pattern.
This year’s wage bill goes up by 55% relative to last year. And the city did not hire 55% more people or raise salaries by 55%.
Then, you find out that, the auditor found out that between 6,123 and 7,777 people who got paid by the county as employees, shared their bank account with someone else who also got paid.
In other words, between 6,123 and 7,777 of the county’s 16,000 employees are couples.
That is what Sakaja wants you to believe.
In addition, quoting the auditor verbatim:
“Review of the bank remittance for August, 2023, revealed that seventy-four (74) officers shared the same name.”
74 officers have the same biographical information.
Step #2. Use KSH 1.2 billion to traverse the globe for totally useless trips.
In a city full of garbage - as you can see in one of the attachments, the county politicians and their lackies pull out their passports.
Book flights to Morocco - Marrakech, Morocco - a resort city, at the cost of KSH 37 million. They want to go study "proactive management". In Morocco. Two full weeks!
Look at examples:
19 people — Marrakesh, Morocco — “Proactive Management Programme — Ksh 37,235,843 (15 days, 10th–24th June 2024)
8 people — United Arab Emirates — “Conference Facilities and Training”— Ksh 29,771,200 (7 days, 12th–18th Feb 2024)
14 people — Vancouver, Yale Town, Canada — “Seminar on Leadership Management and Conflict Resolution” — Ksh 10,920,000
9 people — Italy — “Training on Strategic Stewardship” — Ksh 9,822,120 (8 days, 13th–20th Dec 2023)
14 people — Canada — “Workshop on Leadership Management & Conflict Resolution"— Ksh 9,611,748 (7 days, 5th–11th Dec 2023)
6.7 people — Dubai — “Personal Branding and People Professional Summit” — Ksh 8,993,450 (16 days, 18th Aug–2nd Sept 2023)
8 people — New York — 8th United Nations General Assembly — Ksh 8,782,764 (8 days, 16th–23rd Sept 2023)
9 people — Dubai, UAE —" Esami Pre-Retirement and Pension Planning Programme”— Ksh 8,132,061 (8 days, 29th Apr–6th May 2024)
8 people — Vancouver, Canada — Conference — Ksh 6,761,520 (17 days, 22nd July–7th Aug 2023)
6 people — Istanbul, Turkey — Budgeting for Performance Management Programme — Ksh 6,751,523 (11 days, 12th–22nd Oct 2023)
6 people — Singapore — Financial Analyst Planning and Control Programmes — Ksh 6,735,227 (10 days, 1st–10th Nov 2023)
6 people — Turkey — Budgetary Performance Management Course — Ksh 6,699,198 (11 days, 12th–22nd Nov 2023)
The city is full of garbage. And @sakaja and his lackies are flying from Marrakesh to Vancouver.
Proactive management. Conflict resolution. Personal branding. Retirement.
You could make up this stuff, even if you wanted to.
When they are done with these shenanigans, Ksh. 1.2 billion is gone.
You have to wonder: Is there no course on how to collect garbage? Nothing like that, even in Galilee Israel?
Folks, this is insanity. This is not the behaviors of people who have common sense and business sense. It is not the behaviors of people who treat every shilling as the last shilling we have. Which is what must happen in government affairs.
So, KSH 1.2 billion is wasted like that.
Total damage so far? KSH 6.7 billion in salary heist 1.2 billion in wasteful travel=KSH 7.9 billion.
Let’s keep going.
KSH 839,933,289 in salary expenses cannot be substantiated because there is ZERO records. No names of employees, departments, evidence of payment. Just a claim. Basically, KSH 839 million in the KSH 18 billion I mentioned above have no support whatsoever. This wage bill itself increased by 55% this year compared to last year.
The county still employes less than 0.5% of the county population.
Step #3. Lose Kshs.140,944,662 through a “duplicate payment” to a “vendor”. No explanation for why a duplicate payment was made. And this is not corrected.
Step #4. Lose Kshs.478,485,041 to pending bills that nobody has ever heard about.
Step #5. Lose another Kshs. 2,005,937,441 in relation to pending bills.
Pay attention here.
The county says it owes KPLC Kshs.724,964,162, but when auditors verify the balance with KPLC, they find out that the county actually owes Kshs.2,730,901,603.
This likely says that, the county pretended to be paying down pending bills at some point, but the funds went somewhere else, such as, a corrupt official’s bank account. So the bill is still outstanding, but the cash in the city’s accounts is gone.
Step #5. Lose another Kshs. 791,013,848 in relation to pending bills. The auditor finds an additional 791 million in bills that are owed, but which the county has not reported.
At this point, let’s make sure you understand how pending bills come about.
If you are a government and you are smart and accurate in budgeting, you can estimate what you will spend. And if you are Nairobi County and you have Ksh 33 billion to spend, you have enough to pay your way. But, if in budgeting you put down “Ksh 500 million in luxury travel and then spend Ksh 1.2 billion, then you won’t have Ksh 700 million to pay the entire amount. That is a bill that ends up being hidden, or increases pending bills. But there are also many cases where corrupt politicians introduce pending bills as a way to steal. You blame the previous government, and then prioritize paying new claims that have no support.
Or, cash is stolen from bank. That cash was designed to pay certain bills, and now, there is no money to cover those bills. They become "pending".
Step #7. Lose Kshs.6,269,546,657 to 4 lawyers. Of the actual “genuine pending bills”, is Kshs.6,269,546,657 owed to just 4 lawyers. Equivalent to 20% of the annual budget. Can you believe that?
Listen to the auditor:
"It was noted that most of the Court cases related to issues such as disputes of unpaid claims for goods/works/services completed by contractors, un-procedural termination of employment contracts, irregular procurement processes and poor contract management. The judgements entered against the County Executive resulted to a high cost of litigations and interests."
In other words, corruption and mismanagement of county affairs take another Kshs. 6.3 billion. 100% wasteful.
Step #8. Lose another Kshs.1,393,234,865 in compensation that cannot be supported. Payment vouchers generally used for temporary workers worth 1,393,234,865 have no support. No one can tell you John Maina or Alice Omondi was employed here, for x amount of time, and got paid Ksh X.
Step #9. Lose another Kshs. 28,861,597 in compensation that cannot be supported.
Within the healthcare delivery expenses, it is found out that (62) National Identity numbers were used to pay people duplicate payments. In other words, one person appears in sone system used to pay. They get paid. You look at another system used to pay people for different things. The same person, same ID, appears again, and is paid.
Consider these additional damning factors:
>>Some officers’ basic salary changed multiple times during the year with some changing 6 times
>> Three thousand, two hundred and sixteen (3,216) officers changed job groups more than once, twenty-four (24) of whom changed job groups three (3) times.
>> Three (3) officers had their payroll numbers attached to different National Identification numbers at various times of the year.
>>Twenty-four (24) officers had their payroll numbers attached to different Tax pins at various times of the year.
>> One hundred ninety-seven (197) officers had their birth dates changed multiple times.
Step #10. Lose another Kshs. Kshs.301,400,000 in “bursaries” that cannot be accounted for. The county says we sent money to schools X, Y, and Z.
The auditor tries confirming these claims. And nobody can confirm it.
Step #11. Lose Kshs.140,313,872 in claimed “civil works expenses”.
You are told that the county entered into contracts with certain firms in 2021. The contracts were all supposed to lapse in 2022. They laspse. There are no extensions.
There is NOT ONE document telling you what the contractors were to do, and for how much.
But the county goes ahead and pays Kshs.140,313,872.
Step #12. Lose Kshs.32,964,416 in a contract to build a kitchen. A contract is irregularly issued to a firm to construct a kitchen.
The auditor says:
“Physical verification of Central Kitchen for the programme in October, 2024 revealed several issues at Toi Primary Kitchen. Visible cracks were observed on the wall, despite the kitchen being completed only a year earlier.
There was no electricity meter installed. In addition, water connectivity was not installed by the contractor, instead, the implementor connected the water at their own cost. There was also poor workmanship of the pavements and the installed gas pipe was not connected to the cooking vessels, rendering it unusable.”
Step #13. Lose Kshs.10,103,488,814 in a contract to build “affordable” homes.
Any contract exceeding Ksh. 5 billion requires approval by the Attorney General. The county won’t get it. They use “specially permitted procurement” method where only one bidder provides a quote. So there is no competition, which is likely why they did not seek the Attorney General’s approval.
@SakajaJohnson and his lackies select the desired partner. ZERO competition. They don't seek the approval required.
A note on this particular one: There are actually 4 contracts valued at Ksh 31 billion which the auditor is expressing doubts. About legitimacy of the amount.
Quoting the auditor:
"In the circumstances, the ownership of the land, value for money and regularity for the housing projects contracts totalling Kshs.31,047,436,654 could not be confirmed. In addition, Management was in breach of the law"
My estimated loss is the Ksh 10 billion as presentative of what the loss could be. It is the only "estimate" in this analysis, and again, it is less than the Ksh 31 billion the auditor is questioning.
Step #14. Lose Kshs. 2,282,899,172 in stalled projects.
Quoting the auditor:
"Review of construction projects undertaken by the County Executive revealed that projects valued at Kshs.2,282,899,172 in respect to the construction of various projects have stalled. It was not clear why these projects remained stalled for years while the County Government embarked on new projects, some that still end up stalling due to non-payment of contract sums due. Failure to manage the projects in line with law may lead to loss of public funds and poor service delivery."
Step #15. Lose Kshs. 16,510,760 by awarding contracts to the highest bidder, when lower ones are available, and against the law.
Step #16. Lose Kshs.223,304,547 in shoddy works and projects. The County issues 4 contracts to build 4 stadiums at the cost of Kshs.1,036,551,255.
Stadiums in Kawangware, Ziwani, Kangemi and Dandora.
After Kshs.223,304,547 is paid out, the auditor notes:
>>The floodlights were non-functional and the internal lighting had not been installed.
>>The field’s surface was uneven, with noticeable bumps and depressions in certain areas, which rendered it unsuitable for football activities.
>>The electrical cables and wiring system on the field were exposed, increasing the risk of theft and vandalism.
>>The roofing materials used were substandard and showed visible signs of deterioration due to exposure to direct sunlight. According to the field management, rainwater frequently leaked through the roof, leading to water accumulation in the seating areas during rain.
>>The public address system was non-functional, as explained by the Management, who confirmed that the speakers were not operational.
>>There were visible holes in the perimeter wall. Rather than allowing footballs to bounce back into the field upon contact, footballs created holes due to penetration.
The stadium walls were constructed of soft boards, which could easily be penetrated with little force instead of durable concrete stone walls.
Total damage: KSH 32,949,346,981

William Ruto is not a leader he is a political illusionist, a man who still believes Kenyan voters are dairy cows. In his twisted mind, all he has to do is throw a handful of dairy meal, and we’ll stand in line, fat and silent, waiting to be milked dry. That is the tragedy of his politics manipulation wrapped in a smile, deceit disguised as genius.
Ruto walks around this nation believing he’s the smartest man in every room. To him, the ordinary Kenyan especially those from forgotten and marginalized regions are not citizens, but cows on two legs. He looks at them and sees votes, not lives. He sees numbers, not hunger. He sees puppets, not people.
It is sickening truly sickening to watch the President land in a chopper, wave his hand, and feed the nation with cooked lies. Instead of asking the people about their pain, their roads, their schools, their hospitals he performs, he preaches, he pretends. Every promise he makes is a carefully packaged lie, sold to the desperate as hope.
When Ruto came to power, National IDs were free. It was his government under Kindiki that introduced the Ksh 1,050 replacement fee and the Ksh 300 new applicant fee. Yesterday he stood before cameras pretending to be a savior for scrapping charges he himself imposed. That’s not leadership that’s deception with a straight face.
When Ruto took office, petrol was Ksh 140 a liter. Today it’s Ksh 180 and yet our roads look like earthquake zones. Nairobi is collapsing from within, rural Kenya is forgotten, and the cost of living has become a silent national funeral.
This President doesn’t even know the price of bread. He doesn’t know it’s Ksh 65, up from 50 because he doesn’t live in our world. His hands are never in his pockets; they’re always in the public purse. Every shilling, every coin, every drop of taxpayer sweat is turned into political fuel for his endless self-praise.
His Cabinet is a flock of puppets trembling, obedient, soulless. They fear him, not out of respect, but out of survival. Ruto has no interest in learning, no interest in truth. He believes money can silence reason, and bribery can build loyalty. That is why corruption is the only language his government understands.
He stands before us talking about making Kenya the Singapore of Africa yet he steals more than Mugabe, lies more than Moi, and manipulates more than any despot who ever walked this continent.
Ruto is not building Kenya. He is bleeding it slowly, deliberately, and without shame.
This woman doesn't know what she has done on a global scale
She has set women's inclusion in politics years back
Whatever good grace women in politics had, it's all gone

Standing in solidarity with the great people of Tanzania who are defying odds to protest against electoral injustice and impunity! Standing in solidarity with comrade Tundu Lissu, the main opposition leader who remains detained since April and his party CHADEMA banned from running in the sham election! The young people of Africa are speaking - let all despots listen.
