How can a poor third work country called Kenya spend Kshs 1.1 trillion in just 9 months on tea, mandasi, samosa, workshop/seminars in Mombasa and air tickets?
Today, police shot dead four Kenyans protesting the fuel price hike. Murkomen held a press conference this evening and spoke at length about the loss of property, with only a brief mention of the loss of lives.
In Kenya, human life appears to have no value. Protests happen all over the world, some of them violent yet police in other countries routinely use non-lethal means to contain them. The police have no business using live bullets against unarmed citizens except in truly exceptional circumstances.
Murkomen also claims politicians incited the looting and violence during today’s protests. However, just as in the past two years, these allegations will likely not be investigated, and no one will be arrested or prosecuted.
Blaming public anger on a few politicians is an insult to Kenyans’ intelligence. The cost of living has skyrocketed, and many can barely afford three square meals a day, while Murkomen wears million-shilling suits and a Rolex Yacht-Master 37 Rose Gold watch worth KSh 4 million.
They are stealing from us, flaunting the stolen money through lavish weddings, parties, helicopters, and expensive vehicles, then turning around to ask Kenyans why they are angry. This government lacks sense, direction, and integrity.
With 449 days to go, we will send this regime packing and hold accountable those who stole from us and killed unarmed citizens. The police commanders responsible for the deaths of innocent protesters will be prosecuted.

@moneyacademyKE Manufactured shortage to drive up prices. Typical EPRA stunt. All prices will go up, yet once again, and never come back down. And yet, somehow, by way of magic, the dollar XE hasn't fluctuated. Isn't that a thing of wonder.
