Kenya's counties added 199 unauthorised bank accounts in just three months, bringing the total to 6,585.
Makueni opened the most new accounts, while Kitui has the highest total number of unauthorised accounts.
Global politics is a game of power, prove your strength and you'll have you way. If you show weakness, you'll be oppressed and plundered just as they are doing to Africa.
Politicians have watered down the values our community held sacred.
We used to listen to Njuri Njeeke. Now we listen to tenders.
Before, the Meru council of elders guarded land, culture, and the forest like life itself.
A State Lodge in Meru Forest would have been unthinkable under their watch.
When politics erodes tradition, the community pays the price. 🇰🇪
Let me translate what she is saying.
Some Luo political brokers are busy chest-thumping and celebrating that Raila Odinga left them inside government, yet the ordinary Luo is trapped in poverty and hardship.
She is asking a simple question: What is the benefit of being "in government" when parents cannot afford school fees for their children?
What is the value of political appointments when families cannot put decent food on the table?
While leaders boast about the broad-based government, many families are still surviving on the same diet day after day because they cannot afford alternatives.
Villages still lack clean water.
Many homes remain without electricity.
Patients cannot afford medicine.
Young people remain unemployed and hopeless.
Meanwhile, Mbadi, Wandayi and Junet move around in helicopters, control huge budgets and enjoy the privileges of power.
Their lives have changed. Their bank accounts have changed. Their status has changed.
But has life changed for the ordinary Luo mother struggling to feed her children?
Has it changed for the fisherman, the boda boda rider, the hawker, the unemployed graduate or the elderly person who cannot afford treatment?
Political positions are not development.
Government appointments are not food. Power in Nairobi means nothing if the people back home continue living in squalor.
The true measure of leadership is not how many leaders occupy government offices. It is whether the lives of ordinary citizens become better.
That is the question many people are now asking, and it deserves an honest answer.
While Nakuru governor was busy launching her multibillion hotel, Kenyans of good will decided to visit Nakuru PGH hospital to gift patient basic supplies.
Unfortunately, they were turned away.
If you can't fund hospitals with basic supplies what hurts you when Kenyans come together?
This is just sad.
Keep in mind in this hospital new born babies sleep on carton boxes.
I am sad man.
Officers at Mlolongo Police Station charge Kenyans 1000/- for an OB. When you go to report a matter they take your phone, key in the amount to be withdrawn at an MPESA agent then delete the MPESA message. If you don’t have the money you don’t get the OB. @PoliceKE@bonifacemwangi
DCP Sec Gen & Nyandarua Senator John Methu counting 10 bobs contributed by Ol Kalou residents towards the purchase of a Suit for DCP MP Aspirant Kamau Ngotho.
The residents of Ol Kalou decided to contribute after Moses Kuria called Ngotho a poor dirty chokoraa while campaigning for the UDA aspirant in the upcoming By-Elections.
What is happening in OLKALOU will be studied in books in the coming days. This has never happened anywhere else before.
On one side is a government funded candidate. He has every resource that has a name. With a kitty that is whispered to be at Kshs 1 billion, he is dishing out cash to everyone one at or around OLKALOU. Young, old it doesn't matter. As long as you wear a beautiful smile. The government has tasked all cabinet secretaries, permanent secretaries from Mlima to launch government projects, one after the other. Governors, senators, mps and all political leaders aligned to the government are stationed in the remotest areas of the Constituency selling their candidate.
But out of their abundance, one of the government leaders calls their opponent, the DCP candidate, a CHOKORA. That has angered the area residents never like before.
Now, the very same residents have decided to 'kujioshea, their own chokoraa.
See here what they are doing. Every villager is contributing 10 bob just to so their MP can buy a suit ndio awache kuitwa chokoraa.
And this is the game changer. The results will shock you and I.
Our +254 people, I don’t purport to direct your existent, unbowed revolutionary agenda, but just to say: hold onto those term limits and the rule of law. Hold on with everything! Perhaps for us all.
