During Afcon next year, the goons in Kenya will have a field day. Visitors will be nyongwad live live. If the goons are not delt with early enough. Next years Afcon will be the most dangerous and talked about by football supporters.
This is Aliko Dangote speaking against corruption. What happened to Kenyan business community, manufacturers and entrepreneurs? Why are we quiet when politicians destroy the economy that enables us to create employment and transform communities? I am one of the few entrepreneurs that speak up and it’s very lonely and dangerous. It starts sounding like noise and lamentations. Hey you rich people, how will you enjoy your wealth in a country of poor people?
Listen to this four minutes clip by Okiya Omtatah.
The debt ceiling has hit Ksh 12T. Out of this Ksh 12T, the Parliament only approved the borrowing of Ksh 2.7T. Meaning Ksh 10T was illegally borrowed and was borrowed out of the budget.
Now, the most scary part is that the same Parliament has approved the repayment of Ksh 8.9T.
How do you approve the payment of something you never approved to be borrowed?
And the 'borrowed' money did not also pass through the Consolidated Fund.
In other words, we are paying what we cannot prove that we received.
This is a dead country. There's no country here.

#RutoMustGo #DrainTheSwamp
THE REPUBLIC OF BRIBERY: WHERE CORRUPTION WEARS UNIFORM AND THE PRESIDENT WATCHES IN SILENCE
I watched corruption unfold before my own eyes not in secret, not in whispers, but in broad daylight, on our roads, under the watch of the so-called law.
A traffic officer stopped our matatu, demanded KSh 2,000 for a crime that doesn’t exist. When the driver offered 500, the officer barked “peleka gari station.” Passengers an old sick man and a pregnant woman among them were dumped by the roadside like garbage. And the “mkubwa” himself came to supervise the extortion.
This is not policing.
This is organized robbery in uniform.
And the worst part? Everyone in power knows.
DP @kithureKindiki knows.
CS @kipmurkomen knows.
The PS @ray_omollo for @InteriorKE knows.
And President William Ruto knows because this rot is no longer hidden; it’s the new normal.
Our roads are now feeding troughs for uniformed criminals. Each police checkpoint is a cash register for cartels wearing badges. The bribe isn’t a side hustle anymore it’s a system, a chain that runs from the dusty highway to the clean suits in Nairobi.
When an officer dares to demand more than a matatu earns per trip, it tells you corruption isn’t just tolerated it’s protected. It has sponsors. It has managers. It has politicians who eat off it.
The Interior Ministry has become a marketplace of impunity. The Transport Ministry is a factory of excuses. And the President the man who promised a new dawn is too busy campaigning for 2032 while citizens are being extorted in 2025.
You’ve turned the police into predators and Kenyans into prey. You’ve turned justice into a joke. And you’ve turned our highways into hunting grounds for hungry men who know they’ll never face consequences.
Don’t tell us about digitizing government when you can’t even sanitize the police.
Don’t talk about the “Bottom-Up” economy when your officers are extorting matatus that carry the real hustlers.
If the President, the CS, and the PS have any shred of integrity left, let them come to Thika Road, stand by the GSU gate, and see the truth for themselves where the poor pay daily taxes to the corrupt.
Kenya is bleeding, not from poverty, but from theft in uniform.
And those in charge have blood on their hands.
If you have 32 minutes, I will show you how Nairobi County loses 32,949,346,981.
Yes, that's not a typo. KSH 32 billion.
Let me walk you through a trip to hell.
Data from 2023-2024.
The county had KSH 33 billion to spend. To serve 4.6 million residents.
The county employes around 16,000 people. 0.3% of the county population.
Step #1 - First order of business: Use 55% of the budget to pay salaries, to this 0.3% of the population.
That is KSH 18 billion. Now you have KSH 15 billion left.
You are told that the county entered into contracts with certain firms in 2021. The contracts were all supposed to lapse in 2022. They lapse. There are no extensions.
KSH 6.7 billion.
Side Note: Ghost workers galore. Quoting the auditor:
"Review of the bank remittance for April, May and June, 2024 revealed that seven thousand, seven hundred and seventy-seven (7,777), six thousand, one hundred twenty-three (6,123) and six thousand, eight hundred and three (6,803) officers respectively, shared the same bank accounts, agent code and branch code."
So let’s understand this fact pattern.
This year’s wage bill goes up by 55% relative to last year. And the city did not hire 55% more people or raise salaries by 55%.
Then, you find out that, the auditor found out that between 6,123 and 7,777 people who got paid by the county as employees, shared their bank account with someone else who also got paid.
In other words, between 6,123 and 7,777 of the county’s 16,000 employees are couples.
That is what Sakaja wants you to believe.
In addition, quoting the auditor verbatim:
“Review of the bank remittance for August, 2023, revealed that seventy-four (74) officers shared the same name.”
74 officers have the same biographical information.
Step #2. Use KSH 1.2 billion to traverse the globe for totally useless trips.
In a city full of garbage - as you can see in one of the attachments, the county politicians and their lackies pull out their passports.
Book flights to Morocco - Marrakech, Morocco - a resort city, at the cost of KSH 37 million. They want to go study "proactive management". In Morocco. Two full weeks!
Look at examples:
19 people — Marrakesh, Morocco — “Proactive Management Programme — Ksh 37,235,843 (15 days, 10th–24th June 2024)
8 people — United Arab Emirates — “Conference Facilities and Training”— Ksh 29,771,200 (7 days, 12th–18th Feb 2024)
14 people — Vancouver, Yale Town, Canada — “Seminar on Leadership Management and Conflict Resolution” — Ksh 10,920,000
9 people — Italy — “Training on Strategic Stewardship” — Ksh 9,822,120 (8 days, 13th–20th Dec 2023)
14 people — Canada — “Workshop on Leadership Management & Conflict Resolution"— Ksh 9,611,748 (7 days, 5th–11th Dec 2023)
6.7 people — Dubai — “Personal Branding and People Professional Summit” — Ksh 8,993,450 (16 days, 18th Aug–2nd Sept 2023)
8 people — New York — 8th United Nations General Assembly — Ksh 8,782,764 (8 days, 16th–23rd Sept 2023)
9 people — Dubai, UAE —" Esami Pre-Retirement and Pension Planning Programme”— Ksh 8,132,061 (8 days, 29th Apr–6th May 2024)
8 people — Vancouver, Canada — Conference — Ksh 6,761,520 (17 days, 22nd July–7th Aug 2023)
6 people — Istanbul, Turkey — Budgeting for Performance Management Programme — Ksh 6,751,523 (11 days, 12th–22nd Oct 2023)
6 people — Singapore — Financial Analyst Planning and Control Programmes — Ksh 6,735,227 (10 days, 1st–10th Nov 2023)
6 people — Turkey — Budgetary Performance Management Course — Ksh 6,699,198 (11 days, 12th–22nd Nov 2023)
The city is full of garbage. And @sakaja and his lackies are flying from Marrakesh to Vancouver.
Proactive management. Conflict resolution. Personal branding. Retirement.
You could make up this stuff, even if you wanted to.
When they are done with these shenanigans, Ksh. 1.2 billion is gone.
You have to wonder: Is there no course on how to collect garbage? Nothing like that, even in Galilee Israel?
Folks, this is insanity. This is not the behaviors of people who have common sense and business sense. It is not the behaviors of people who treat every shilling as the last shilling we have. Which is what must happen in government affairs.
So, KSH 1.2 billion is wasted like that.
Total damage so far? KSH 6.7 billion in salary heist 1.2 billion in wasteful travel=KSH 7.9 billion.
Let’s keep going.
KSH 839,933,289 in salary expenses cannot be substantiated because there is ZERO records. No names of employees, departments, evidence of payment. Just a claim. Basically, KSH 839 million in the KSH 18 billion I mentioned above have no support whatsoever. This wage bill itself increased by 55% this year compared to last year.
The county still employes less than 0.5% of the county population.
Step #3. Lose Kshs.140,944,662 through a “duplicate payment” to a “vendor”. No explanation for why a duplicate payment was made. And this is not corrected.
Step #4. Lose Kshs.478,485,041 to pending bills that nobody has ever heard about.
Step #5. Lose another Kshs. 2,005,937,441 in relation to pending bills.
Pay attention here.
The county says it owes KPLC Kshs.724,964,162, but when auditors verify the balance with KPLC, they find out that the county actually owes Kshs.2,730,901,603.
This likely says that, the county pretended to be paying down pending bills at some point, but the funds went somewhere else, such as, a corrupt official’s bank account. So the bill is still outstanding, but the cash in the city’s accounts is gone.
Step #5. Lose another Kshs. 791,013,848 in relation to pending bills. The auditor finds an additional 791 million in bills that are owed, but which the county has not reported.
At this point, let’s make sure you understand how pending bills come about.
If you are a government and you are smart and accurate in budgeting, you can estimate what you will spend. And if you are Nairobi County and you have Ksh 33 billion to spend, you have enough to pay your way. But, if in budgeting you put down “Ksh 500 million in luxury travel and then spend Ksh 1.2 billion, then you won’t have Ksh 700 million to pay the entire amount. That is a bill that ends up being hidden, or increases pending bills. But there are also many cases where corrupt politicians introduce pending bills as a way to steal. You blame the previous government, and then prioritize paying new claims that have no support.
Or, cash is stolen from bank. That cash was designed to pay certain bills, and now, there is no money to cover those bills. They become "pending".
Step #7. Lose Kshs.6,269,546,657 to 4 lawyers. Of the actual “genuine pending bills”, is Kshs.6,269,546,657 owed to just 4 lawyers. Equivalent to 20% of the annual budget. Can you believe that?
Listen to the auditor:
"It was noted that most of the Court cases related to issues such as disputes of unpaid claims for goods/works/services completed by contractors, un-procedural termination of employment contracts, irregular procurement processes and poor contract management. The judgements entered against the County Executive resulted to a high cost of litigations and interests."
In other words, corruption and mismanagement of county affairs take another Kshs. 6.3 billion. 100% wasteful.
Step #8. Lose another Kshs.1,393,234,865 in compensation that cannot be supported. Payment vouchers generally used for temporary workers worth 1,393,234,865 have no support. No one can tell you John Maina or Alice Omondi was employed here, for x amount of time, and got paid Ksh X.
Step #9. Lose another Kshs. 28,861,597 in compensation that cannot be supported.
Within the healthcare delivery expenses, it is found out that (62) National Identity numbers were used to pay people duplicate payments. In other words, one person appears in sone system used to pay. They get paid. You look at another system used to pay people for different things. The same person, same ID, appears again, and is paid.
Consider these additional damning factors:
>>Some officers’ basic salary changed multiple times during the year with some changing 6 times
>> Three thousand, two hundred and sixteen (3,216) officers changed job groups more than once, twenty-four (24) of whom changed job groups three (3) times.
>> Three (3) officers had their payroll numbers attached to different National Identification numbers at various times of the year.
>>Twenty-four (24) officers had their payroll numbers attached to different Tax pins at various times of the year.
>> One hundred ninety-seven (197) officers had their birth dates changed multiple times.
Step #10. Lose another Kshs. Kshs.301,400,000 in “bursaries” that cannot be accounted for. The county says we sent money to schools X, Y, and Z.
The auditor tries confirming these claims. And nobody can confirm it.
Step #11. Lose Kshs.140,313,872 in claimed “civil works expenses”.
You are told that the county entered into contracts with certain firms in 2021. The contracts were all supposed to lapse in 2022. They laspse. There are no extensions.
There is NOT ONE document telling you what the contractors were to do, and for how much.
But the county goes ahead and pays Kshs.140,313,872.
Step #12. Lose Kshs.32,964,416 in a contract to build a kitchen. A contract is irregularly issued to a firm to construct a kitchen.
The auditor says:
“Physical verification of Central Kitchen for the programme in October, 2024 revealed several issues at Toi Primary Kitchen. Visible cracks were observed on the wall, despite the kitchen being completed only a year earlier.
There was no electricity meter installed. In addition, water connectivity was not installed by the contractor, instead, the implementor connected the water at their own cost. There was also poor workmanship of the pavements and the installed gas pipe was not connected to the cooking vessels, rendering it unusable.”
Step #13. Lose Kshs.10,103,488,814 in a contract to build “affordable” homes.
Any contract exceeding Ksh. 5 billion requires approval by the Attorney General. The county won’t get it. They use “specially permitted procurement” method where only one bidder provides a quote. So there is no competition, which is likely why they did not seek the Attorney General’s approval.
@SakajaJohnson and his lackies select the desired partner. ZERO competition. They don't seek the approval required.
A note on this particular one: There are actually 4 contracts valued at Ksh 31 billion which the auditor is expressing doubts. About legitimacy of the amount.
Quoting the auditor:
"In the circumstances, the ownership of the land, value for money and regularity for the housing projects contracts totalling Kshs.31,047,436,654 could not be confirmed. In addition, Management was in breach of the law"
My estimated loss is the Ksh 10 billion as presentative of what the loss could be. It is the only "estimate" in this analysis, and again, it is less than the Ksh 31 billion the auditor is questioning.
Step #14. Lose Kshs. 2,282,899,172 in stalled projects.
Quoting the auditor:
"Review of construction projects undertaken by the County Executive revealed that projects valued at Kshs.2,282,899,172 in respect to the construction of various projects have stalled. It was not clear why these projects remained stalled for years while the County Government embarked on new projects, some that still end up stalling due to non-payment of contract sums due. Failure to manage the projects in line with law may lead to loss of public funds and poor service delivery."
Step #15. Lose Kshs. 16,510,760 by awarding contracts to the highest bidder, when lower ones are available, and against the law.
Step #16. Lose Kshs.223,304,547 in shoddy works and projects. The County issues 4 contracts to build 4 stadiums at the cost of Kshs.1,036,551,255.
Stadiums in Kawangware, Ziwani, Kangemi and Dandora.
After Kshs.223,304,547 is paid out, the auditor notes:
>>The floodlights were non-functional and the internal lighting had not been installed.
>>The field’s surface was uneven, with noticeable bumps and depressions in certain areas, which rendered it unsuitable for football activities.
>>The electrical cables and wiring system on the field were exposed, increasing the risk of theft and vandalism.
>>The roofing materials used were substandard and showed visible signs of deterioration due to exposure to direct sunlight. According to the field management, rainwater frequently leaked through the roof, leading to water accumulation in the seating areas during rain.
>>The public address system was non-functional, as explained by the Management, who confirmed that the speakers were not operational.
>>There were visible holes in the perimeter wall. Rather than allowing footballs to bounce back into the field upon contact, footballs created holes due to penetration.
The stadium walls were constructed of soft boards, which could easily be penetrated with little force instead of durable concrete stone walls.
Total damage: KSH 32,949,346,981
@Mizani254@MoGAbdi@PropesaTV@HillaryGondi@fit_ermined@EricLatiff@MigunaMiguna@NairobiCityGov@KenyaGovernors
This morning, @OkiyaOmtatah reminded Kenyans what true leadership looks like.
While many politicians arrive in fuel-guzzling luxury cars, he drove himself to the Senate in a Mazda Demio.
No unnecessary show of power. Just simplicity and modesty that speak louder than words.
This down-to-earth character reflects the kind of leadership Kenya needs, one rooted in humility, service, and genuine connection with ordinary citizens. #GetItDone
Kenyans must not ignore Omtatah.
Five months ago, @OkiyaOmtatah exposed SHA as a mega fraud—Ksh.104B in illegal deals, bloated salaries, looted premiums, and cash siphoned abroad. He warned Kenyans and vowed Ruto’s cartel will face justice.
#REKE@Kibet_bull@MaryK2022
One thing that’s never made sense to me is taking money from the government to give to a parent as bursary to pay a government school - Raila Odinga Junior
Okiya Omtatah for president.
These are some of the contributions that make him the best for this post.
- *Advocacy for Good Governance*: He advocates for transparent governance, resource equity, and civil liberties, ensuring that the government serves the people's interests.
- *Human Rights Activism*: As a renowned human rights activist, Omtatah has filed numerous petitions challenging unconstitutional government actions and policies, focusing on electoral reforms, public finance management, and protection of fundamental rights.

- *Representation*: As Senator, he represents Busia County's interests, working to address the county's challenges and promote development.
- *Legislative Contributions*: His legislative agenda focuses on ensuring good governance, equitable resource distribution, and protection of civil liberties.
Some notable achievements include
- *Filing over 1,200 court cases*: Omtatah has set a record for the highest number of constitutional petitions and public interest cases filed by a non-lawyer in Kenya.
- *Challenging unconstitutional government policies*: He has successfully challenged government actions and policies, promoting transparency and accountability.
- *Inspiring transformative change*: Through his work, Omtatah aims to bring about positive change in Kenya, promoting justice, fairness, and compassion.
The man who defends your Constitution with blood and bone will be on The Explainer tonight at 9pm on Citizen TV.
.@OkiyaOmtatah doesn’t speak in riddles, he speaks the truth.
Tune in. Watch. Learn what leadership guided by law and justice really looks like. #GetItDone
The problems facing Kenya, including corruption, exist because the rule of law has been ignored.
When the law is treated like a joke, thieves thrive.
In 2027, @OkiyaOmtatah will restore order, respect for the law and bring this culture of impunity to an end. #GetItDone
1/2
The Constitution of Kenya is supreme. But today, the status quo treats it like a suggestion.
They violate it with arrogance because no one holds them to account.
That ends in 2027. @OkiyaOmtatah will enforce every letter of the law, with no fear or favour. #GetItDone
