Should we implement the TJRC and Ndung'u Land reports, Taita Taveta County would generate a figure substantially worthy what it receives as its equitable share from the exchequer...... Only for the spirit of "you have to lose inorder for me to win" and oppressing the minorities.
THE SHYLOCK NEXT DOOR
You would never let someone use your ID to borrow money from a Shylock, then expect you to repay the loan. You would call it THEFT.
So why are we so quiet when it happens to our country?
Kenya’s public debt now stands at about KSh 12.8 trillion. This year, about 91 percent of the taxes we collect will go to paying debt, not improving hospitals, schools, roads, or supporting counties.
We feel it every day through higher taxes, delayed county funding, delayed and reduced capitation, struggling public services, and fewer development projects.
Debt is not the problem. Debt without clear results is.
Every Kenyan is paying for these loans. Every Kenyan has the right to ask one simple question.
What did we borrow all this money for?
Your name is on the bill. Your voice should be part of the conversation.

The fight to liberate Kenya from the chokehold of illegal, odious debt requires exactly this kind of patriotic innovation. We cannot pay for what we did not receive, and tracking it in real-time is a powerful weapon for public awareness.
Let us engage. Our youth must lead this vanguard for economic justice.
Morara Kebaso: I was reading this audit report, 1.8 million shillings spent on a pit latrine at Kenyoro SDA Primary. Which pit latrine will cost 1.8 million? A 5000 litres water tank, the MP is getting it for 500,000 shillings, kitu ya 35,000 kwa hardware. He said there is a problem of climate change in Kisii, the most forested place in Kenya. The guy is planting trees at a cost of 6 million. These are the MPs that must be replaced by people of values #JKLive
The Asymmetry of Rights: There in no Equality Before the Law for the IMF
1. Section 5 of the Bretton Woods Agreements Act of 1963, as read with the Schedule to the Act, creates an impermissible asymmetry before the law. Fund Agreement Article IX, Section 2 gives the IMF full juridical personality, including the capacity “to contract,” “to acquire and dispose of immovable and movable property,” and “to institute legal proceedings.”
2. However, Article IX, Section 3 then provides that the Fund, its property and assets enjoy “immunity from every form of judicial process,” except where the Fund expressly waives immunity.
3. The result is a one-sided legal relationship:
-The IMF can sue Kenyans in Kenyan courts.
-Kenyans cannot sue the IMF.
-The IMF can contract, own property, and enforce rights in Kenya.
-Kenyans cannot enforce rights against the IMF.
4. This asymmetry offends the constitutional principle of equality before the law. Article 27(1) provides that “Every person is equal before the law and has the right to equal protection and equal benefit of the law.”
5. Equality before the law is not satisfied where one legal person may invoke the protection of Kenyan law but is placed, by ordinary legislation, beyond the reach of constitutional scrutiny.
6. A statutory regime that allows an international institution to sue, contract, own property, and enforce rights in Kenya, while denying affected persons and constitutional organs effective access to judicial process, creates a one-sided legal relationship that cannot be justified under the Constitution.
#DeniBandia #OdiousDebt
It's funny how Ruto frames basic financial accountability as a hostile burden. The World Bank is basically asking for receipts and an audit trail before releasing cash. The panic in state house tells you everything you need to know about how much they thrive in the dark.
If you don’t fear the people, if you’re sure Kenyans still want to be led by you, open the damn roads and let people go to work!!!
What are you so scared of? This is madness
