Whoever is close to the County Government in Machakos, needs to walk in there, and ask Governor @Wavinya_Ndeti and the County Assembly this question:
What the heck is wrong with you people?
For, Machakos is the very definition of stupidity and dimwittedness in county government.
Our country has no shortage of dumb people in government. That is for certain.
In Machakos, dumb is the understatement of the year.
This government LIVES ABROAD.
This government appears to take their washroom breaks, ABROAD.
KSH 631 million on travel. Domestic and Foreign.
The Governor's office had 22 trips outside Kenya.
KSH 63 by the Governor. In 2024-2025.
Where to?
5 people travelled to "Livestock and food security initiative conference" in Brazil. Cost? KSH 9.6 million.
2 people travelled to "ICPAK Leadership Summit" in Dubai. Cost? KSH 1.0 million.
4 people travelled to "Training on Strategic Organization Change Management in the Public Sector" in Dubai" Cost? KSH 3.8 million.
1 person travelled to "Leadership and Change Management Course in Dubai". Cost? KSH 1.4 million.
1 person travelled to "Workshop of Women’s Political Leadership Programme in Albania". Yes, Albania. Cost? KSH 0.75 million.
1 person traveled to "Open Governance Workshop in Brazil". Cost? KSH 1 million.
6 people travelled to "Production Facilities" in China". Cost? KSH 4.2 million.
5 people travelled to "Strategic Management Programme" in Dubai. Cost? KSH 6.0 million.
1 person traveled to "Contemporary Public Administration Course" in Dubai". Cost? KSH 1 million.
3 people traveled to "Arab Healthcare Conference" in Dubai. Cost? KSH 2.1 million.
1 person travelled to the UK to attend the "Fire Emergency Response Workshop". Cost? KSH 8.2 million.
1 person - attends a course in the UK on emergency fire response, and the citizens lose KSH 8.2 million.
Because, Zoom doesn't work in Kenya.
We don't have enough time to cover all this stupidity, trust me.
How about the County Assembly?
Leadership training in Singapore. 1 person.
Capacity building in Arusha. 14 people.
Internet Governance Conference in Saudi Arabia. 7 people.
Good and Visionary Governance training in Malaysia. 7 people.
Communication and Technology Conference in Dubai. 5 people.
Another trip for Good and Visionary Training in Singapore. 6 people.
KSH 36 million in foreign travel by the geniuses in the county assembly.
In a county with a 40% poverty rate. Despite KSH 83 billion in money transferred to the County between 2024 and 2024.
KSH 631 million in luxury travel across the globe - for NONSENSE.
Now, consider this:
Machakos County is sitting on KSH 1.1 billion in "Stalled Projects".
KSH 1.1 billion in projects that are stuck. Are not serving citizens.
I attach here, a sample of these projects. Please find your way to the last column, and review why many of the projects have stalled.
"The contractor left the site".
"Abandoned and re-awarded to a new contractor".
"Contractor's nonperformance".
"Non payment".
"Lack of payment".
In other words, KSH 1.1 billion in our money has been paid to contractors that took the money and skipped town. One after the other.
Or, who have actually performed - but have not been paid, and so they abandoned the projects.
KSH 1.1 billion is wasted.
The people who are supposed to be overseeing contractors, @Wavinya_Ndeti and the County Assembly - are nowhere to be seen, because the practically live abroad.
That KSH 631 million could be used to pay the few contractors that have performed.
But the criminal associates of these corrupt politicians are taking the money and walking away.
While the entire government lives in Dubai. On the people's dime.
We don't have enough space here to list all of these stalled projects.
Fellow Kenyans - this is insanity on steroids.
Mackakos County consumes 55% of its budget on salaries alone.
Against the legal maximum of 35%. Under @Wavinya_Ndeti - the county has stolen and diverted BILLIONS from serving citizens, and sent it as additional salaries and benefits to those in government.
What they don't steal in salary, they spend on 100% nonsensical travel.
Take a look at the second attachment.
Since devolution - Machakos County has spent only KSH 800 million on bursaries/education.
That is only 1% of the amount Machakos has received from Kenyans like you and I.
But it has spent KSH 96 million for the Governor's cars.
And KSH 659 million for cars for MCAs and those in government.
And is spending hundreds of millions annually on travel.
This greed, stupidity and perversion of government is the reason Kenyans went to the streets in 2024.
And not a damn thing has changed.
When are we going to say:
Enough is Enough.
We have had it.
When?
@countygovmks@FlavNasmbu@KenyaGovernors@Senate_KE@NAssemblyKE
Party National Executive Committee meeting in Mombasa today has resolved to relieve SG @edwinsifuna of his responsibilities with immediate effect. Effectively, Hon. Catherine Omanyo who is one of the Deputy Secretary General, will act in this position until a substantive holder of the office will be elected.
Imagine hii uniform @Wavinya_Ndeti amevaa hadi ya ndani ni jasho ya kijana mdogo hustler anaitwa Sammy kioko, na hajawahi lipwa. Lipa kijana kubaaf
It's like the woman is cursed.
