PUBLIC MONEY IS NOT EXECUTIVE PROPERTY: THE CONSTITUTIONAL TRUTH ABOUT CHAPTER TWELVE
Fellow Kenyans,
The bottom line of Chapter Twelve is simple: the Executive DOES NOT own public money, THE PEOPLE do.ย
Our 2010 Constitution intentionally strips the President and Cabinet of unchecked power over your taxes through six strict principles:ย
1) People Own the Funds: Government only administers public money; it never owns it.ย
2) Parliament Approves Spending: The Executive cannot spend a single shilling without explicit parliamentary authority.ย
3) The Treasury is Independent: Under Article 225, the Treasury is an autonomous custodian, not a political department subordinate to the Executive.ย
4) Independent Oversight: The CRA, Controller of Budget, and Auditor-General ensure no single entity controls the financial chain.ย
5) Personal Liability for Looting: Under Article 226(5), any official who directs unlawful spending must pay it back from their own pocket, even after leaving office.ย
6) No Free-For-All Borrowing: Debt is strictly tied to legitimate budget deficits, not executive whims.ย
The power of the purse belongs to the people, not the Executive. We must defend our Constitution! #ReKe #GetitDone #KnowYourConstitution #ConstitutionKe2010

Kenya's manufacturing policy is interventionist
Taxes, electricity prices and laws punish any attempt to do business by default
We then try to pick winners by creating exemptions and sweetheart deals for them
That creates an opening for politicians to extort them for deals
