Sometimes I wonder whether people who want to be President of Kenya know what they would be getting into. Looking closely at Budget Estimates 2025-2026, picture this
1. Ksh 1.3 Trillion out of Ksh 4.2 Trillion will go to payment and servicing of debts as well as pensions. This is not negotiable and we can never default on that. The price to pay for our thoughtless expansionism in the past
2. Another Ksh 1.7 Trillion will go to finance RECURRENT Expenditure of the National Government . Of which Ksh 680 Billion is salaries for our bloated and inefficient civil service which you can not reform because JOBLESS Kenyans will go to the streets to defend the civil servants who contine to eat everything at the expense of the rest of Kenyans
3. Still on the National Government Recurrent Expenditure, we are officially a Communist Country. Karl Marx is very proud of us. Free Education, Pesa ya Wazee, Fertilisers, Health etc at a cost of Ksh 700 Billion. Ebu jaribu kugusa any of that . Ot to stop the Ksh 400 Billion that is transferred to useless and inefficient parastatals that you can not sell because courts will grant injunctions as freely as sweets in a Chrismas party.
4. And Counties are waiting. Ksh 405 Billion in equitable sharing , Ksh 59 Billion in Equalisation Fund and Ksh 10 Billion in Conditional Grants totalling to Ksh 471 Billion. Try negotiate that or question how that huge amount is spent and you are an enemy of devolution.
5. At the end of the day the only amount you can discretionary allocate for development is a paltry Ksh 291 Billion or 6.9% of the 4.2 Trillion. 93.1% you have no say.
Wishing all the best to all our beloved Presidential Candidates
Thank you @arsenal ❤️
As I say goodbye, I want to take this time to say thank you to everyone at the club, from my teammates to all the wonderful staff who have been a part of my journey and have made this place home for so many years.
Thank you Gooners.

Btw, what the f*ck was all this about? A drag queen mockery of the Last Supper at the Olympics? Would they have mocked any other religion like this? Appalling decision.
Kasmuel Mcoure: We have demons in this country that bedevil the country such as tribalism where you would have a governor who spends more time in the media than governing his county. I would like to call out the Governor of Nyeri who has the audacity to say that he wants 7 CS positions in government. Who does he think he is that he will demand for CS positions based on a tribal basis? Whatever is happening to us now is tantamount to organized anarchy #CitizenExplainer @YvonneOkwara
Kasmuel Mcoure: The President has time without number called for dialogues but I am inclined to believe that he is only giving us lip service, he is not interested in any form of dialogue. We demand that the people who have been arrested and abducted be released unconditionally as a sign of goodwill. We demand as young people that you respect our lives and stop killing us. Remember that while you can kill a revolutionary you cannot kill the revolution #CitizenExplainer @YvonneOkwara
