Japan doesn’t budget for corruption. Their leaders don’t take a cut from road projects, or pay MPs to impeach enemies. Their president doesn’t send killer squads after citizens. They don’t wire billions to ghost clinics, or sell public assets to shadowy companies. Their leaders’ wealth isn’t a mystery. I could go on. So when you ask ‘why not Kenya?’… well, why not indeed.
Today I would like to take a moment to educate Kenyans on the ongoing frenzy of ' Chinese Engineers are better ' and ' Kenyans engineers can't do this or that' and engineers who don't understand why you keep seeing Chinese in projects.
I will use a case study of Kiambu road
So insensitive of PS Interior @ray_omollo to make such a statement on a day when over 10 Kenyans have been killed by police.
As I said, this government has made it their business to attract the wrath of Kenyans and continuously anger everyone with their arrogance and stupidity.
Tribalism is the dumbest shit ever man. I can't believe some people still buy this 'mtu wetu' farce.
If it's unfair taxes, bad roads, poor drainage in the cities, lack of jobs, police brutality, it cuts across all tribes. Haibagui.
I hope he’s proud of himself, they followed his words to the letter and ended up killing more than 20 unarmed civilians. Innocent lives wiped out. To make it worse, goons were unleashed alongside the police, breaking into homes, looting, and brutalizing anyone in sight.
They will kill you and drag your corpse into a police station to hide it
They will kill you in police custody and call it suicide
They will dump your corpse in a quarry and blame a serial killer
They will kill you on the streets for selling masks
Kenyan Police can not be reformed
No apology to make? Hold on, the Laws of the Republic of Kenya might make you reconsider. Here are at least 10 laws being contravened by the President.
1. Establishment of Religion (Violation of Article 8, Constitution of Kenya 2010)
“There shall be no State religion.”
Constructing a Christian church within the official presidential residence, funded or not by public money, creates the appearance of State endorsement of a specific religion. This contravenes Kenya’s constitutional commitment to religious neutrality.
2. Right to Equality and Non-Discrimination (Article 27 & Article 32)
Article 27(4): The State shall not discriminate directly or indirectly on any ground, including religion.
Article 32(1): Every person has the right to freedom of conscience, religion, thought, belief and opinion.
Building a Christian church within a government facility—without similar facilities for other religions—amounts to unequal treatment of non-Christian citizens and public servants.
3. Public Land Misuse (Article 62(2), Constitution; Land Act 2012, Sections 11–12)
Article 62(2): Public land is held by the national government in trust for the people of Kenya.
Land Act s.12: Public land shall not be allocated or used except in accordance with the Constitution and this Act.
State House is public land. Changing its use to accommodate religious purposes without formal reclassification or public interest justification violates land governance laws.
4. Improper Use of Office (Leadership and Integrity Act 2012, Section 11)
A State officer shall not use the office to improperly confer a benefit on themselves or others.
Even if funded personally, the use of the presidential office to initiate construction of a personal religious project on public property may constitute abuse of office.
5. Misuse of Public Property (Public Officer Ethics Act 2003, Section 12)
A public officer shall not use public property for activities not related to official duties.
Constructing and using a church within a government-owned facility for private worship breaches this restriction.
6. Non-Compliance with Public Procurement Laws (PPADA 2015, Sections 91–94)
Section 91: All public works must be subjected to open tendering, unless exempted by law.
Section 94: Exemptions must be approved by the relevant authority and recorded in writing.
Even if private funds are used, construction on public land involving public resources (e.g. security, land, utilities) qualifies as public works and must follow procurement rules.
7. Lack of Budget Transparency (Public Finance Management Act 2012, Section 68; Constitution Article 201)
Section 68(1): A public officer shall ensure that public resources are used in a lawful and authorised manner.
Article 201: Principles of public finance include openness and accountability.
Any ancillary costs e.g. security, maintenance, staffing must be disclosed and properly budgeted. Failure to do so undermines lawful resource use and transparency.
8. Unlawful Construction without Approval (Physical and Land Use Planning Act 2019, Sections 57–65)
Section 57: No person shall carry out development within a county without obtaining development permission.
A permanent building at State House still requires a building permit from Nairobi County. No exemption exists for the presidency.
9. Failure to Undertake Environmental Assessment (EMCA 1999, Sections 58–60)
Section 58: Projects likely to have significant environmental impact must undergo an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
If the building exceeds threshold sizes or alters protected land, NEMA approval through an EIA is mandatory before construction begins.
10. Economic Crimes Exposure (ACECA 2003, Section 45)
A person is guilty of an offence if they use public property to improperly confer a benefit to themselves or another.
Officers who authorise or implement the church project without full legal compliance risk prosecution under anti-corruption law, even if the President is immune under Article 143.
Thank you Kalenjins for calling out Murkomeno for his stupid and reckless remarks ordering police to kill Kenyans on camera. They have worked with the RSF militia until they’ve become like them
I have not seen any single picture or video of police officers preventing the looting of shops or even shooting a looter. However, I have seen many pictures and videos of police officers beating up and shooting unarmed peaceful protestors. Let Kipchumba Murkomen not fool around.
I had actually forgotten this by it was #FredMatiang’i who kept defying court orders on returning @MigunaMiguna ‘s passport. He would insist that Miguna should apply for a new passport if he wanted to be allowed back into the country! Such people should never be allowed anywhere near the leadership of this country again! Respect for the constitution should be paramount in the person we vote for the presidency!
"Jidishi" is a very elegant and euphemistic way to say "go fuck yourself"
Much simpler and clearer than the English. Wondering where quasicolonial ideas of sounding intellectual during insults are coming from when the world of the insult generally is deep and wide
