This morning, let me bring your attention to something serious. As I’ve always said: Tunaibiwa.
Yesterday I uncovered a lot, but today it gets even darker.
Can William Ruto and Treasury CS Mbadi explain to Kenyans where $3,059,203.20 (≈ KSh 396 million) they took from the World Bank on 27th June 2024 went?
I am attaching evidence below.
This money was borrowed from the World Bank after Ruto’s government promised that it would:
Equip all students with new or improved access to high-speed internet,
Provide energy-efficient computers, laptops, and tablets to schools, TVETs, and universities under the project, etc. (I’ve attached snippets).
Apparently, Ruto’s government signed a $350 million loan from the World Bank for the Kenya Digital Acceleration Project. Their stated objectives included free high-speed internet for schools, among others. That’s why you’ve been hearing all this digital transformation noise.
On the 27th, about $3 million was sent to Treasury accounts.
Now here’s the interesting part:
I dug deeper and found the company that was allegedly paid by the World Bank financiers — VISCAR INDUSTRIAL CAPA LTD.
A deeper search shows that the company is owned/led by Eng. David Mulongo, the Founder, CEO, and Managing Director.
So I decided to learn more about Mulongo. In the process, I came across former CS Debora Mulongo, who seems to be related. Further digging brought up a screenshot suggesting that the CS also has ties to Wetangula. But that’s a story for another day.
So the chain looks like this:
World Bank → Treasury → Mulongo’s company → ??? (Ruto & friends?).
And by that, you know we are screwed.
My biggest question is this:
👉 Why is it that, as we speak, no schools have been connected to high-speed internet, and no students have received free internet devices?
👉 Where is the KSh 396 million that Ruto and others borrowed on behalf of Kenya for this purpose?
👉 Can you show us how many schools you have actually connected to high-speed internet?
So bad is the situation that the wb after releasing the 396m the wb review of its spending was "moderately satisfactory " Wiziiii
It really sucks that students in rural areas are struggling with CBC without internet, yet you’re taking loans in Kenya’s name for this exact purpose and doing nothing.
What’s worse is that they are waiting for another close to KSh 35 billion from the same project. If they took KSh 396 million and can’t show what they did with it, what will be the fate of the KSh 35 billion?
People are taking loans in our name as a country and eating the money. Even the Taptengelei noise ended once they got the money, then they went silent.
We are being robbed.
The UK Visa Application Centre (VFS Global) in Westlands, Nairobi, is a masterclass in modern day exploitation.
Kenyans pay hundreds of dollars, wait in the sun, get misinformed, and walk away feeling less human. The new venue at Principal Place (yes, they left 9West) has no proper waiting area and no parking. This is by design to have you pay 17K for their VIP/Premium “services “
If you’re not paying for premium services, you’re left outside in the heat, on the pavement. Elderly people, parents with kids, students, all treated like a security threat
Their Communication is Trash. You get vague emails like “your passport is ready for collection ” only to be turned away and told “collection is from 2pm to 5pm, (you can easily indicate that on the same damn email) That means if you show up at 10am, you’ll have to wait till 2pm or you can easily pay the 17K to be attended to quickly.. ?? EXPLOITATION
No clear timeline. No courtesy. You’re meant to guess your way through it.
These centers aren’t run by embassies, they’re outsourced to private companies who monetize your desperation. It’s a business, not a service.
And guess what? No refund if your visa is denied(familiar?)
The worst part? This is normalized.
We’ve accepted that applying for a visa means surrendering your dignity just to maybe be allowed into a country that benefits from our labor, money, and talent.
If Global North countries want to charge Africans these high fees and accord them zero dignity , the bare minimum should be basic human respect. Decent waiting areas. Transparent timelines and Fair communication.
This isn’t about security. It’s about power and exploitation…
This system needs to be called out and changed.
And it’s time African governments started protecting their citizens from this daylight exploitation.
As Haiti's Prime Minister, Garry Conille, & Kenya's President, William Ruto, held a briefing in Nairobi decrying financial constraints being faced by the Multinational Security Support, I caught up with Dr Jemima Pierre, @grosmorne29, a Haitian, for her perspective on the Kenya led mission.
A secret cabal of players within the agrochemical industry has used its influence to suppress critics and push the sale of harmful chemicals, some of which have been linked to diseases like Parkinson’s across the globe. Jedidah Nkirote and her family have witnessed the devastating effects of these pesticides firsthand. #PoisonPR
My dad went for dialysis this morning and they demanded Ksh 11,500 upfront. He needs this life-saving treatment three times a week. SHIF is a death sentence for hordes of Kenyans with life threatening diseases. Are we not angry enough to flood the streets and uproot this Kenya Kwisha government? @C_NyaKundiH@amerix@morarakebaso@KTNNewsKE@citizentvkenya@LarryMadowo@Mabonga_254@Kimuzi_ @McKennaMK
We have confirmation that Morara kebaso is being held at Nairobi Regional police headquarters after being taken from his Kahawa offices.
Attempts by lawyers and colleagues to access have been thwarted by police at the gate.
Crowds are beginning to gather outside the police station gate.
This is totally unacceptable.
A young man was critical of a Kenyan governor online.
Bruce John Chawa was abducted, tortured, sodomized, and video of his gang rape shared on social media. Sexually assaulted and humiliated for criticizing the governor of Mombasa.
What savage society is this?
Dear Kenyans,
On June 26th, I was abducted, leading to a traumatic experience that left me unconscious for some time. I was found on June 28th by the bank of River Maragua, and since then, I’ve had multiple medical checkups. The results showed I have internal bruises, and I continue to experience pain in my left arm, especially on cold mornings. Although I'm feeling stronger overall, I know I need ongoing physiotherapy, pain management and psychosocial therapy.
Now, I'm seeking further treatment, but the financial burden of my medical costs is overwhelming. I’m reaching out for support from my community, and any help would mean a lot to me.
Here’s my Mpesa number: 0748645008. I would also appreciate your prayers, and I welcome any medical professionals who can offer assistance.
Kind regards,
Okayo
