When all who attend your rally have your party uniform, have been paid & some bused or brought by paid boda boda, you canโt call them your supporters. Genuine support has no financial or material inducement & is organic. Paying for s*x doesnโt make the relationship love.
@Aaroncheruiyot@Aaroncheruiyot hiyo kiburi itaisha after 2027. You are so arrogant and full of yourself because of your ill gotten wealth. Its just a matter of time. Tables change ๐
@FCBayernEN@AFCAjax@EACCKenya these are pertinent points to consider. This is a political move which will not achieve the intended political objective but will seriously backfire @_SystemYaFacts
President Ruto is preparing to give Bayern Munich and Ajax a grand welcome for the opening of Raila Odinga Stadium on 5 January. Fine. But before the government turns the occasion into a global spectacle, Kenyans deserve a full disclosure of the financial arrangements.
How much is the taxpayer paying for this football extravaganza? How much are the clubs receiving? Who is financing their travel, accommodation, security, logistics and participation? What is the government's contribution, what are private sponsors covering, and what measurable economic returns will Kenya receive?
These are not anti-football questions. They are questions of public finance, fiscal responsibility and accountability.
Kenya is operating under severe fiscal constraints. Hospitals need medicines, health workers need reliable funding, public schools require adequate capitation, and millions of households are struggling with the cost of living. Every public expenditure must therefore be evaluated against competing priorities and the value it delivers to citizens.
The economic principle is straightforward: every shilling spent has an opportunity cost. Money committed to one purpose cannot simultaneously finance another. That does not mean Kenya should abandon sports investment; it means the government must demonstrate that its spending is justified, transparent and economically sustainable.
An international football event can stimulate hospitality, tourism, transport, retail and employment. But these benefits cannot simply be presumed. The government should publish its expenditure commitments, disclose the sponsorship arrangements, provide credible estimates of expected revenue and subject the final accounts to independent audit.
We must also distinguish the cost of constructing the stadium from the cost of staging the event. They are separate financial questions and must be accounted for separately.
President Ruto cannot invoke the prestige of international football as a substitute for fiscal disclosure. Bayern Munich and Ajax are coming to play football, not to certify Kenya's economic priorities.
Let the stadium open. Let the fans enjoy the game. Let Kenya welcome the world. But let the government publish the bill.
A government earns public confidence not by the size of the spectacle it stages, but by its willingness to account for every shilling it spends. Kenyans are citizens and taxpayers, not an audience expected to applaud without asking questions.
The entire State House should be shut down for a comprehensive mental health assessment.
Did they just keep the entire country in front of TVs for a "major announcement" of Talanta Stadium toilets and pitches?
Have they run out of major announcements?
Sick.
