THE ORIGINAL SIN: THE CAPTURE OF THE NATIONAL TREASURY
Parliament's decision in 2012, at Section 11 of the Public Finance Management Act, to convert the National Treasury - which is established in the Constitution as an independent constitutional institution - into a department of the National Executive, placed under the political control of the President through the Cabinet Secretary for Finance, is the original sin at the heart of our woes.
It is the moment the architecture of accountability was dismantled. It is the moment the purse was surrendered to the Executive and the Control of public funds was lost. Parliament too lost its power because the President no longer had to govern through the national budget.
And it is also the moment the door was opened to the debt crisis, the opaque borrowing, the concealed expenditure, and the impunity that now strangle our Republic.
To drain the swamp, we must reinstate an independent National Treasury.
The Republic's financial system must return to the design in the Constitution - where a chain of separated constitutional powers ensures that no President, no Minister, no Treasurer, no Parliamentarian, no Governor, no creditor, and no bureaucrat can ever capture the entire life‑cycle of public money.
That is the Constitution's promise. That is the promise we must reclaim.

I never got to see my first born when she was a baby ,I was always gone . I woke up at the crack of dawn and came back at night . When I was free I was always nursing a hungover . 4 years went by real quick and very soon she was in school.
When my second born came it was during my days of selling chicken and business was really good . The day I brought him home I decided to stay a month or two I had a good amount in my bank . That was the first time I really slowed down . I watched him every day , helped my daughter with her homework and took her to school in the morning. I remember thinking to myself ,this is the life I want .
I never looked back . Money to me means freedom ,freedom to be home on a random Wednesday. Freedom from hating on a day just because it's at the beginning of the week . People look at that end of year vacation to Dubai with iphones and big cars and forget a whole year of life passed you by.
No man looks back at his youth and remembers how hard he worked on a particular day .They all remember the unlived life ,money or no money..
President Ruto quietly escaped out of Kenya last night to New York in the luxurious private Boeing Busines Jet registration T7-BBJ2.
Why is the President of a poverty stricken country flying a private charter yet our national airline flies there daily?
I wish more people cared about Congo, Haiti, Sudan, Tigray, as well as Palestine... We can recognize all of their suffering without taking away from the other there are multiple genocides occuring and as human beings we owe it to them to at least try and help some.
You protest the finance bill & the colonial governor pretends to hear your pleas but it gets broken up into smaller parts & passed.
You then again protest the outright sale of a public asset like JKIA & the colonial regime ironically becomes creative & sells it off in piecemeal.
