@MugureNjehia@georgediano The Doctors strike was KMDU not signing the contracts and submitting account for union deductions for banking, twas turned around to make Governor look bad publicity
@AsmanAguyo@georgediano There are roads under KURA and KeRRA within the county the National government hasn't devolved them, The County Government cannot do much
Meanwhile they have to do much interior roads classifieds as County Roads, Levelling Gravelling and Tarmac
And this is not protecting workers this is using workers.
A government cannot call itself accountable while making its decisions in the shadows.
The truth is simple:
Pension money belongs to the people not the presidency.
And why does the project timeline conveniently land just before the next general election?
This is not economic policy this is political engineering.
This is not development this is desperation dressed as progress
Why are workers being burdened with higher NSSF deductions only for their savings to be used as government capital?
Why is a pension fund with repeated audit queries being positioned as the financier of billion-shilling infrastructure?
And as if that is not enough, the government now plans to force NSSF to finance the project, turning workers’ retirement savings into a pool for megaproject spending.
This raises urgent national questions:
Why was a cheaper, donor-funded project replaced with a more expensive one
In 2021, Kenya secured a 155B French donor-funded deal for Mau–Rironi
In 2022, the new administration cancelled it and triggered a 7B penalty
In 2025, the same project reappeared under CCCC/CRBC of China, now priced at about 200B nearly 50B more than the original foreign-funded
Kenyans deserve answers.
Not tweets, not slogans, not media propaganda answers.
The Mau–Rironi saga is no longer about a road
It is about a pattern a government choosing political ego over economic sense, secrecy over transparency, and pension money
It is not a state ATM.
It is not a fallback plan for government overspending.
And when you triple NSSF deductions, then divert workers’ money into expensive deals that were once cheaper you cannot pretend this is “for the people.”
Yet you are pushing NSSF toward financing mega-projects that Parliament never approved and workers never consented to.
Mr President @WilliamsRuto, this is not leadership.
This is coercion disguised as reform.
NSSF is not your campaign chest.
Why are you forcing @NSSF_ke the pension fund of ordinary workers to bankroll this inflated project?
Retirees already struggle to access their own savings.
Audits repeatedly highlight mismanagement and unexplained losses.
What is patriotic about paying billions in penalties only to approve a pricier version of the same project?
Why was the French deal “bad” only until a Chinese state firm took it over at a higher cost? And most importantly:
And today, you are celebrating the same project being revived under China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) at about KSh 200B.
So let me ask you directly, without blinking:
What exactly made 155B “too expensive” but 200B suddenly acceptable?
President William Ruto ,
Kenyans are watching MAU – RIRONI with a level of clarity your handlers didn’t anticipate.
You cancelled a KSh 155B French-funded project that Uhuru Kenyatta had already negotiated and signed government paid a KSh 7B penalty for that cancellation.
@NjeriBt This replica of UDA by election in Kiambaa sometimes back, now Newton Karish will be elected overwhelmingly to embrass the government of the day
