@KiongoziGk Don't confuse stupidity with tribalism. Kenya is built by individuals.

@MaryK2022 He has already proven that he can shoot a person at close range with no remorse. That was a major red flag that we should never ignore.

@FaraiMazhindu Obama did what the empire demanded, dropping bombs in Middle East, killing Gaddafi, same with the Indian guy. But most of the people you are defending only want to extract resources and fund proxies to rule over us.
Anyone is welcome if they are ready to fight with us.

Women nurture parts of the empire.
All genders have to do their job for this to work.

@StanleyMachaari He's part of the system. That's why he's allowed to move freely.
They already have his file and he's approved.

@sholard_mancity As long as they are getting paid, I don't see any problem there.
Capitalism for you.

@MaryK2022 Kenya Power wants the same here. You remember their memo about solar and wind energy making the grid unstable?
We should resist.

@AlooterC @sholard_mancity What are you saying? Is it Russia that gave him the opportunity to speak at Chatham House?
He was part of the deep state.

[Eric Mugao @mugao_eric]

@sholard_mancity In my opinion it wasn't bad luck, it was strategy.

If given an opportunity to stay on the limelight for 10yrs or 30+ what do you choose?

He was in every government since 1990s, enjoying every benefit that comes with being a president until his death. 10yrs can't beat that.

[Cyprian, Is Nyakundi @C_NyaKundiH]

That Ruto is cornered is no longer something to dismiss, because the political mood, the anger on the ground and the fractures around him are becoming harder to ignore.

“Ruto Must Go” can win an election, but it cannot run a country, and the opposition must now start telling Kenyans what happens after the celebrations are over.

Start with the national debt. Which loans will they honour, which ones will they audit, what happens to odious or questionable debt, and how exactly will they stop Kenya from borrowing simply to repay previous borrowing?

Then tell us what happens to this bloated government structure where almost every problem has somehow produced an authority, agency, board, council, commission, fund, secretariat, director general, board chairman, CEO, offices, vehicles and allowances.

Why, for example, does Kenya need a whole Kenya Water Towers Agency with its own board and administration to coordinate conservation of water towers instead of placing that work directly inside the responsible ministry alongside the existing forestry, water and environmental departments?

The government itself has admitted that some State corporations have overlapping or duplicated mandates and has been trying to merge or restructure them, which tells you the problem is not imaginary.

How many water agencies does one country need before water actually reaches people's taps, when we already have the Ministry of Water, Water Works Development Agencies, the National Water Harvesting and Storage Authority, Water Resources Authority and other institutions funded from the same taxpayer?

How many agricultural boards, authorities and corporations do we need before farmers receive affordable fertiliser, functioning markets and reasonable prices for what they produce?

How many youth funds, women funds, enterprise funds and empowerment programmes must exist separately, each carrying administrators and operational costs, instead of creating one properly managed financing institution with measurable results?

Why do functions that could comfortably sit as departments inside ministries repeatedly become standalone State corporations requiring CEOs, boards, procurement departments, HR departments, finance departments, legal departments and expensive headquarters?

The opposition must tell us which State corporations it will abolish, which ones it will merge, which boards disappear on day one and how much money those changes will actually save taxpayers.

Tell us what happens to SHA and whether healthcare will continue being built around deductions, unexplained private technology companies and layers of agencies before money finally reaches the hospital treating the patient.

Tell us what happens to the housing levy, and whether government should really be collecting money from every worker, building houses, identifying beneficiaries, financing mortgages and competing with private developers at the same time.

Tell us what happens to university funding, HELB, school capitation and the endless experiments that leave parents discovering new education policies after schools have already opened.

Tell us what happens to county financing and whether governors will continue travelling to Nairobi every few months begging Treasury to release money that Parliament already allocated to counties.

Tell us what happens to corruption cases, because Kenyans do not need another government that arrives with its own thieves, protects them for five years and suddenly discovers corruption when somebody falls out politically.

Tell us what happens to procurement. Will every tender, beneficial owner, contract variation and final payment become publicly searchable, or will we continue pretending transparency exists when more than half of government contractors can remain hidden behind companies?

Tell us what happens to the police. Will the next president still call commanders when he wants opponents arrested, or will Kenya finally build a police service where an officer fears the law more than he fears State House?

Tell us what happens to the DCI, ODPP, EACC, intelligence services and other institutions that become extremely energetic when powerful people have private problems but suddenly develop weak knees when politically connected goons, killers and thieves are involved.

Tell us what happens to State House spending, advisers, presidential delivery units, special envoys, taskforces and endless committees created whenever somebody in government wants another office.

Tell us what happens to Cabinet size, principal secretaries, CAS style positions if they return under another name, government advisers and political appointees scattered through State corporations.

Tell us whether government vehicles will still consume billions transporting officials to meetings where they discuss why government has no money.

Tell us whether every new president will continue creating offices for election losers and coalition partners instead of forcing political parties to carry the cost of their own political settlements.

Tell us what happens to taxes, because promising to reduce taxation is easy until the same politicians enter Treasury and discover they inherited a government whose recurrent expenditure they are unwilling to cut.

Tell us what happens to pending bills, because thousands of businesses have supplied government, paid VAT, borrowed money to perform contracts and then waited years for the State to pay them.

Tell us what happens to electricity costs, fuel taxes, manufacturing, agriculture and small businesses, because Kenya cannot tax itself into prosperity and then wonder why investors move production elsewhere.

And most importantly, tell us what happens to the structure of political power itself.

If all the opposition is offering is another president controlling Parliament, influencing prosecutors, intimidating independent institutions, appointing friends everywhere and borrowing billions with no consequences, then we are simply preparing the next “Must Go” movement.

Ruto going is now a reality.

But Kenya cannot spend the next year discussing who takes the cake without asking why the cake is this expensive, why so many people are eating from it and why ordinary Kenyans are always the ones paying for it.

A constitutional petition filed by Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah, consultant surgeon Dr. Benjamin Gikenyi Magare, and Eliud Karanja Matindi challenges these deductions in the High Court.
The petitioners are asking the High Court to suspend the 2% deductions while the case is heard.

The SHA sh1.2 billion Saga Explained.
At the center of this major court case and government audit is one question:

How does a company with a nominal capital of only KSh 100,000 end up handling billions of shillings in Kenya's public healthcare payments?

[Eric Mugao @mugao_eric]

According to the Auditor-General, the structure of the SHA system allows private entities to earn billions from healthcare funds. Over the 10-year contract, these deductions are projected to about KSh 111 billion, money critics argue should instead support healthcare services.
