The truth has come to bite Ruto, and this is where propaganda meets facts.
People keep asking what Uhuru Kenyatta was doing with our money. Here is a simple reminder:
Without burdening Kenyan workers with an Affordable Housing Levy, Uhuru’s government fully completed 16,000 affordable housing units in four years.
Under Ruto, with the Housing Levy already being deducted from workers, KNBS data shows only 8,000 units fully completed in four years. And remember, some of those units were already under construction when Uhuru left office.
Then comes the argument: “But Uhuru was borrowing!”
Let’s look at the numbers.
In 10 years, Uhuru borrowed about KSh 6.8 trillion.
In just four years, Ruto has already borrowed about KSh 4.3 trillion.
So before anyone shouts propaganda, let’s talk facts.
Propaganda can make noise, but facts eventually catch up.
The question Kenyans should be asking is simple: If workers are being taxed for housing and the government is still borrowing heavily, where is the value for the ordinary Kenyan?
The next conversation Luhyas must have is what gives @gladyswanga the right to pop up in Busia and Kakamega at will if Sifuna shouldn't step in Homa Bay.
Make the conversation loud so that her goons in Olare can hear it.
The near silence in the room when Prof. Hino and Prof Nyong’o spoke of corruption and wastage in government as the biggest impediments to Kenya’s progress confirms the chickens were preaching salvation to the hawks.
H E Rigathi Gachagua is single handedly holding delegations at Wamunyoro and conducting meet the people tours daily from 6am to 6pm. If the pecking order and precedent of leadership in the Opposition are to be shared equally, then let others who make that claim demonstrate the equal burden they bear in mobilizing voters and shaping public opinion.
I don't want your money, please, old man. I would rather be indebted to 10 million Kenyans who each gave me 10 shillings than to one person who gave me Ksh1 billion - Edwin Sifuna
