Your fuel costs are self inficted by Greedy Government
Nothing can come between President William Ruto’s appetite for the finer things in life and his taste for aviation refinement, not even a crisis in his own country, such as the fuel protests that have brought Kenya to a standstill while he enjoyed the epitome of luxury in Baku.

One MP receives 356,525shillings for car maintenance + 366,011 as a fuel allowance EVERY MONTH on top of a 739,600 salary. Together, just the vehicle benefits =722,536/MONTH.
To sustain this lifestyle, the same government taxes us about 82 per litre of fuel, pushing diesel to KShs 242. And if you don't drive, fare ya matatu inakungoja.
You earn almost nothing, but you're paying to sustain this extravagance.
@GladysShollei said Parliament is the problem. Yes, they play a big part. They take the little we have, then pay themselves 366,011 PER MONTH just for fuel. No wonder they are quiet.
356,525 car maintenance, kwani hizo gari zinaaribika kila mwezi?
@NAssemblyKE — if you mean well, denounce these allowances and channel them as a fuel subsidy for ordinary Kenyans.
To every voter: only elect an aspirant who will denounce these benefits. A country that pays KSH 188 per child as school capitation should not be this extravagant.

Rigathi Gachagua must stop pretending he is on a holy mission to save Kenyans while spending his energy sanitizing Uhuru Kenyatta and the Kenyatta family empire.
If Rigathi wants to lecture the country about corruption, greed and betrayal, he must also explain his own billions.
Which industry built him? Which factories? Which exports? Which invention? Which serious enterprise created that kind of wealth? Kenyans are tired of politicians who become billionaires through tenders and proximity to power, then return later wearing the costume of saviours.
And why this obsession with defending Uhuru? Uhuru’s administration left Kenya drowning in debt, Eurobond questions never disappeared, state capture exploded, connected families became richer, and ordinary Kenyans were handed the bill.
Ruto has made the crisis even more worse, but Uhuru helped build the road to this disaster.
Is Rigathi honestly trying to save Kenyans from Ruto’s greed and failures with his 'opposition', or is he trying to rehabilitate one corrupt power network so it can replace another?
The journey of saving Kenyans cannot be led by people obsessed with defending the same Kenyatta family empire that benefited while the country was being looted, borrowed into a hole, and handed over to another gang of thieves.
1. Fuel problems entered when Ruto brought the G-2-G deal.
2. Medical problems entered when Ruto brought in SHA.
3. Education problems entered when Ruto brought the new funding model.
4. Child trafficking problems entered when Ruto opened borders.
Name them.
Adan is 62½ years old. The mandatory retirement age for the job he's been given is STRICTLY 60. This is backed by state directives and high court judgments. A term extension is not applicable to a non incumbent. Even then, such an "extension" would contravene the law.
Interestingly the applicant must be aware of this & if he has any integrity (as is expected of a person seeking such a job) he'd not have applied and now that he's against all ethics landed the job, should decline. But we know he will not do such a thing. He will grab the job and still lay claim to possession of the highest integrity. That's how low we have descended. A man desecrating the values of the land while demanding respect.
In civilised countries where such things used to happen, legislators came up with an all-encompassing law declaring all decisions made by an unqualified person null & void. The nullity extends from him to all his subordinates. Thus, appointing such a person renders the institution he heads as impotent as a castrated bull. We should explore that.
