'When I write my book, you will have a special chapter’ - Ruto tells Ichung’wah and Kimani Kuria, after Parliament passed the National Infrastructure Fund Bill
The Office of the Auditor General has flagged very significant gaps in the National Infrastructure Fund Bill No.1 2026.
Breakdown below:
· Clause No.5 empowers the Fund to borrow money but lacks explicit alignment with Article 206 of the Constitution & the Public Finance Management Act Cap 412A, (2012). The Office says this may lead to loopholes in the management & oversight of public funds
· Clause No.6 on the constitution of the fund's board needs re-design to have some non-independent Directors with knowledge of matters on national infrastructure development in addition to the Principal Secretary to National Treasury
· Clause No.12 empowers to the Board to invest in projects by way of equity and debt, surrender and dispose, but fails to be specific on procedural safeguards, specifically on competitive bidding or public auction, as required under the provisions of the
Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act, Cap. 412c, 2015
· Clause No.13 vests the mandate of remuneration of the Directors to the Cabinet Secretary, The National Treasury and does not mention the need for consultation with the Salaries & Remuneration
Commission (SRC)
· Clause No.21 Bill provides a wide mandate to the Board on developing an investment policy & monitoring the investment agreements, without making reference to The Investment Promotion Act (Cap 485B) which through Sec27, provides
similar powers to the National Investment Council
· Clause No.24 makes reference to development of standards by the Cabinet Secretary on the conduct of competitive tender processes, public participation, and timelines. However, all the indicated/mentioned areas are expressly provided for in the Public Procurement and Asset Disposals Act, 2012 & its Regulations, 2020. There is therefore, a
potential risk of overlap &/or conflicts between the laws
· Clause No.33 on withdrawals from the National Infrastructure Fund bypasses the Controller of Budget's mandate to authorise withdrawals from public funds. This creates a legal loophole where funds could be moved without the constitutional and PFM Act,2012 thresholds.

Dear Mr President: You want to use the illegal National Infrastructure Fund Act (#NIFA) law to fund JKIA expansion?
⭕️ Now that you have assented the Bill into law, let’s get this unconstitutional Fund to court
⭕️ We aren’t asking for permission to challenge it! #NIFABill#JKIA
So the logic is: we knew Israel was going to attack Iran, we knew Iran would retaliate against the US because of it—so instead of stopping Israel from attacking Iran, we attacked Iran first to prevent the retaliation we knew Israel’s attack would trigger. Incredible.
They've begun re-writing history.
This war started just 2 days ago. We watched in real time as Iran was bombed by Israel and America.
We watched, as Israel attacked Iran last year.
If they've started lying on something we all saw just 2 days ago, something we all know, now imagine what is in the history books.
And the history books were written by men a thousand times worse than Hegseth and Trump.
Is the playing field truly level?🏅
My first ever TV sports story dives into the complex world of classification in disability sports—and why it’s sparking more debate than ever.
Dates and time of airing on @KTNNewsKE COMING SOON.
I keep telling you that EVERYTHING that @WilliamsRuto and his Government of Thieves, by Thieves, and for Thieves does, has at its very center, corrupt intent.
This is not debatable, to most rational people.
Let me put two exhibits on the table.
(1) SHA
It is conceived in secret. Kenyans are not told about it. Parliament is not told about it. There is no public knowledge of what WE are trying to accomplish with SHA. What is wrong with NHIF, that SHA will fix.
Nobody knows WHAT OPTIONS are available, in the entire universe. Because the government never asked for proposals which would tell us what is out there, and the fair price.
The government, using that word pretty loosely, decided it not only knew what WE NEEDED, but also WHO TO GET IT FROM. They appointed the vendor, in secret, through direct procurement.
Not my word. Look at the auditor general.
The auditor calls it: "Unbudgeted". "Uncompetitive".
It was designed as a fraud from the word go.
KSH 111 Billion (KSH 104 Billion for leasing the platform and KSH 7 plus billion for "services") is WHAT YOU THINK it cost us.
But you are wrong.
You see, the government, also agreed to set up a second fraud. This one involves you getting charged 5% surcharge for every visit to a hospital. The government and the FOREIGN VENDOR of SHA, will take this 5% of the total fee, and park it in an account that the auditor general cannot know who the signatories are.
Let me say that again. We have paid KSH 111 Billion to lease a platform owned by foreigners. We don't own it.
We thereby choke local ingenuity and pay KSH 111 billion for something that we don't know what the fair market price is.
Isitoshe, our government committed to collecting ANOTHER KSH 111 billion from Kenyans over 10 years. This money is deposited daily or weekly into an account that is apparently a state secret.
They won't tell the auditor who has access to the account, other than the vendor.
So, this is LIKELY yet ANOTHER KSH 111 Billion that is being stolen from Kenyans.
Even worse? Our country agreed that IF WE WERE TO PURSUE ANY OTHER TECHNOLOGY, WE WILL BE SUED IN LONDON FOR YEARS.
This is unforgivable. It is treasonous, in my view.
So far, KSH 222 Billion. And SHA does not work.
(2) CBC SCAM
Have you heard of the "Competency Based Curriculum Classrooms" under this same Government of Thieves, for Thieves, and for Thieves? It cost KSH 52 Billion in 2022-2023.
Listen to what the auditor general says about it:
The transfers to other Government units of Kshs.52,471,160,342 included an amount of Kshs.3,997,687,865 for payments made for construction of Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) classrooms at a cost of Kshs.709,398 each across
all areas in the Country.
It was not clear how the amount was arrived at given that the bills of quantities and results of market surveys were not provided for audit.
Further, the terrain and topographical layout of the schools across the Country varied and therefore
not possible to have a standard rate.
Further, Management did not provide explanations on the specific procurement method that was used and how the various suppliers were identified.
The standard amount of Kshs.709,398 allocated
was not sufficient for construction of a classroom of the required standard.
Document review revealed that some critical scopes like ceiling and tiling or terrazzo on the floor were not included in the original Bill of Quantities (BoQ).
Poor Workmanship in the CBC Classroom Construction
Physical verification of sampled two hundred and fifteen (215) secondary schools in twenty-seven (27) counties funded for construction of CBC classrooms and interviews with the Management of the schools revealed that the classrooms were constructed within
two (2) weeks which was not sufficient to allow concrete curing. Therefore, the potential
strength and durability of concrete was not fully developed. The short construction
duration and insufficient funding resulted in poor quality of the constructed…
Are you picking up what am laying down here?
EVERYTHING THIS ADMINSTRATION DOES has at its very centre, corrupt motive.
EVERYTHING.
It is why proposals are written without consultation with the supposed beneficiaries. No competition. No negotiation. Everything is done at midnight. Everything is done without detailed analysis or planning.
But the checks DO NOT BOUNCE.

At the National Level, our country spends about 50% of EVERY SINGLE SHILLING earned on salarie and benefits for 2% of the Kenyan population.
50%. That is before we spend anything on debt service, which is our largest expense.
Below is an example of the problem.
Quoting the auditor general:
"The statement of receipts and payments reflects compensation of employees amount of Kshs.1,084,881,759 which, as disclosed in Note 7 to the financial statements includes
personal allowances amounting to Kshs.491,992,146 which further includes allowances totalling to Kshs.216,229,746.
Included in the personal allowances balance are
allowances for safety, shift, adversity, aviation support and aviation amounting to Kshs.81,232,974, Kshs.41,664,122, Kshs.51,587,754, Kshs.13,166,391
and Kshs.28,578,505 respectively.
No evidence was provided to confirm that the allowances were approved by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) as required.
In the circumstances, the propriety of compensation of employees’ expenditure amounting to Kshs.216,229,746 could not be confirmed."
Uhuru Kenyatta is often remembered as a charming, likeable President, but behind the smiles and speeches was a presidency filled with failures Kenya can no longer ignore.
From stalled mega-projects to reckless borrowing, soaring public debt, corruption scandals, broken promises, and leadership that consistently avoided accountability, this episode breaks down the truth behind Uhuru’s 10 years in power.
This is not about emotions.
This is not about political sides.
This is about facts, evidence, responsibility, and the real cost Kenyans paid for decisions made at the very top.
If we want a better future, we must be brave enough to examine the past…honestly.

I have just watched Ng'ang'a Muigai's analysis of the demonic CyberCrime Law.
This clip is only seven minutes long.
It will make you urinate a bucket of rat urine.
This law is purely about silencing dissenting voices.
We cannot sit and watch as this happens.
The petition is being heard tomorrow at the Milimani High Court
Wadau! Siku imewadia.
We have until 19th Nov to share our thoughts on how public participation should work (14 days for such a Bill is too little😩...tutaongeze hii kwa maoni)
We've also set up a Wozap channel for sharing calls for public participation. https://t.co/0pzByD0G1z
