If a very minor County officer has Kshs. 250,000,000.= cash in his humble Kshs. 20m house in proletariat Syokimau, how much money is kept in the guarded homes of the senior apparatchiks in leafy suburbs? Kenya is a very rich country. Every succeeding government steals more than the previous but Kenya still stands!
(Ps. Don’t ever again wonder why we have Urban Planning Departments yet there is no urban planning on the ground. We build high rise houses with no commensurate infrastructure. The infrastructure is the monies kept in homes)
Dr James Nyikal is the reason why you need professionals with ethos and values in Parliament. He has always been my model professional legislator. He has told the House that a health pandemic like Ebola is as a matter of science, dealt with on site and not abroad.
Of course, the Kshs 250 million found under his mattress was loose change. How much money do you think that junior official at City Hall invested in property and other investments portfolio?...Kshs 1 billion? 3 billion? 5 billion?
The French cut off the head of their King and Queen for arrogance of a level much lower than that exhibited by Aden Duale in Parliament today. We are tolerating a lot of mediocrity and abuses from our elected leaders in Kenya.
89% of Kenyans in Mt. Kenya region, 85% in Lower Eastern, 78% in Western, 76% in Nairobi, 73% in Nyanza and 65% at the Coast feel the country is heading in the wrong direction - TIFA survey
i always tell people ukiona club imefungwa its not because the club wasnt making money its because someone like this amemaliza kuweka hii pesa kwa bank ....most clubs barely make money
NTSA CAMERAS INSTANT FINES ARE ILLEGAL
Our judicial system especially the criminal system is underpinned in due process. Before one is fined, one has to be proven guilty. Traffic laws are criminal in nature.
To be found guilty in a criminal process, two elements must be proved: That one had a criminal intent (mens rea) & that one committed the criminal act (actus reus).
To issue an instant fine to a car owner is wrong on many levels. It presupposes the following:
1. That the driver at the material time is also the owner of the car which is not generally true.
2. That the driver knowingly broke the law which again isn’t true all the time. It could be a medical issue.
If the driver isn’t the owner, then to fine the owner is completely unconstitutional as there is no transferred malice in traffic laws. If the driver who violates traffic law isn’t the owner, then his crime can’t be transferred to the owner.
NTSA Camera instant fines is a noble idea but without constitutional & legal foundation. It is executive irrational exuberance.
