Kenya is aiming to become an AI and data-centre hub. Our electricity reserve margin has reportedly fallen to about 3.3%, leaving little cushion when generation fails or plants go offline. Data centres require enormous amounts of reliable power.And water too! Solutions? #Eleweka
For thousands of Kenyan SMEs, WhatsApp is not social media. It is the shopfront, customer-care desk, catalogue, sales channel and sometimes the entire business. From October, Meta plans to begin charging businesses for service messages that were previously free. #Eleweka
Good tax policy should expand the productive economy first, then expand the tax base with it. If taxation pushes traders underground, closes businesses or destroys margins, the State eventually collects less - not more. #Eleweka
Bids for IEBC election-technology and ballot tenders should be among the most transparent procurement processes in Kenya. Citizens should be able to know who bid, who owns the bidders, how they were scored, how the systems were tested, how cybersecurity was assessed etc. #Eleweka
Dr. Fred Matiang'i now Claims that the Reason he is not Campaigning is that Kenyans Beg for Money A lot.
He says that the Moment he Parks his Car, to step out, Kenyans line up begging for MONEY, others Approaching him with Slogans like 'Mkuu Tuenge Wewe ni the 6th'' he says that this Begging Culture has kept him Off Campaigns and Public Places.
What is happening in our country with our out-of-control national debt is shameful.
It is the total failure of accountability and leadership.
It is out of control greed, indifference, and incompetence.
Here is what our hopelessly corrupt, greedy and incompetent political class will not tell Kenyans.
And the reason they won't tell you is that no solution exists without:
(1) Real austerity, STARTING WITH THE POLITICAL CLASS.
(2) Government restructuring. Reducing the cost of government.
(3) Prosecutions and asset seizures.
(4) Change in leadership across the board.
Here are the facts.
(1) Our country owes KSH 12.3 trillion today. This debt was KSH 8.6 trillion in 2022 when @WilliamsRuto took office. It is up over 40% in three years.
(2) Since devolution, our country has never managed to have a balanced budget. Look at the second attachment and see the trendline.
Our national debt was KSH 2.3 trillion in 2013. We have had 435% growth in debt since devolution.
During this time, our GDP has grown by about 1/3 of that growth. Meaning, our debt is growing at about three times the growth of our country's ability to service debt.
That is economically suicidal.
And, in the last 5 years, we have borrowed between 40% and 50% of every single shilling we spend.
Between 40% and 50% of every single shilling spent over the last 5 years, has been borrowed.
And it is not to serve Kenyans. It is to continue the corruption merry-go-round, and, our insane level of state largesse.
(3) Our structure of government is NOT SUSTAINABLE. Devolution was well intended, but incompetently executed. This is not even debatable. Look at the third attachment.
We decided to copy and paste a federal system of government without asking important questions.
Such as:
How many politicians do we need?
How much can we really afford to pay politicians, and still serve Kenyans?
Why does Lamu County need 19 MCAs.
Why does Muranga need 48 MCAs.
Why does Nairobi need 124 MCAs.
More than half of our counties MAKE LESS MONEY ON THEIR IN A YEAR, THAN THE AVERAGE PETROL STATION IN NAIROBI.
Let that sink in.
The incomes of at least half of our counties are less than a petrol station brings in in Nairobi County.
People who were involved in this process did not really care about the economics of government.
The result is what you see in the last attachment.
We are a country whose national interest is to serve the needs of the political class.
That's it.
We have a severe over-representation issue in this country. A politician for every 20,000 Kenyans.
On top of that, given that our national interest is the service of a political class that is 3% of the Kenyan population, we pay through the nose.
A Kenyan MP is earning 3,586 percent of what the average Kenyan is making, in a year.
Do you see?
Too many politicians, getting paid too much.
Understand just how bad the math is.
In 2023-2024, our budget was KSH 3.8 trillion.
But we only made about KSH 2.5 trillion. We borrowed KSH 1.5 trillion that year, so that we can afford to support the 3% of people in government.
We spent 50% of the KSH 2.5 trillion on salaries for 1 million people at the national government.
50% of national revenue is gone. To 2% of the population, as a starting point.
We have not paid a cent of national debt service, which was KSH 1.6 trillion.
So, we borrow KSH 1.5 trillion. That KSH 1.5 trillion arrives in the morning, and then goes out the door in the afternoon. Because we need to pay KSH 1.6 trillion, in debt.
We sent KSH 400 billion to the counties. 100% of it borrowed (because we only raised KSH 2.5 trillion in revenue, against KSH 3.8 trillion in budget).
At the counties, same game.
44% of the entire county spending in 2023-2024 went to salaries for 1% of each county's population.
KSH 16.5 billion went to travel - 100% of it wasteful.
KSH 2.5 billion went to cars for the political class.
KSH 7.9 billion went to bursaries.
So - when you look at these numbers, it is not difficult to understand what our national interest is.
Look - I have no beef with ambition and the desire to make as much as you want.
But no country can run like this. We cannot have a system of government which aims to pay politicians 3,586% of what the average citizen is earning and somehow expect that we can serve people.
IT DOES NOT WORK.
We have to choose one - serve politicians, the 3%, or serve everyone.
So far, given greed, incompetence, and indifference, the choice our country has made is clear:
We choose to serve the 3%.
(4) Let's face it. The economics of devolution as currently set up will never work.
It will not work, without significant changes.
Trust me on that.
Let me give you the numbers using 2024-2025.
Out of our 47 counties, ZERO can support themselves fully.
In fact, the average county, which has a demi-god Governor, Deputy Governor, and a local assembly and its own bureaucracy - COULD ONLY RAISE 5.9% of the amount it spent that year.
For every KSH 100 shillings counties spent, KSH 94 have to come from outside the county.
"Outside" means National Government - which is broke as hell.
It's the one that needs to borrow 40% to 50% of every shilling it spends.
It is the one that needed to borrow KSH 1.5 trillion that year, in order to make the budget work.
Ladies and gentlemen, here is the truth:
Many of our counties are counties in name only. They have absolutely no chance in a hundred years of attaining economic viability.
Once we get this through our brains, we can start asking the right questions.
Such as, how do we facilitate political representation without losing 70% of the budget to the "system"?
24 counties cannot raise more than 3% of their budget, 11 years into devolution.
14 counties cannot raise more than 2% of their budget, 11 years into devolution.
And Kenyans have no real mechanism to enforce fiscal discipline in the counties.
And - given the total failure of parliament, we also have no real mechanism to enforce fiscal discipline at the national level.
It is the price we pay for electing clowns.
And that is not even the worst part of this. Our county governments have become the epicenters of wastage and incompetence.
@MarsabitGov has no problem spending millions to send 3 people for days to the UK to "accept" a used car donation.
@KilifiCountyGov has no problem sending people to Dubai for days, wasting so much money, to learn about "poverty alleviation".
@KisumuCountyKE has no problem sending teams of people to loiter and hang out in public parks in the UK - burning millions in the process, just so they can charge Kenyans "per diems".
@NairobiCityGov politicians have no qualms about burning KSH 1.2 billion traversing the globe learning absolutely nothing, while Nairobi chokes from an inescapable stench and garbage all over the city.
(5) If there is one thing that is worse than corruption in our country, it is incompetence of people in government.
Take a look at the last attachment. I undertook a study of the National Government's handling of taxpayer funds in 2022-2023, and 2023-2024.
The results speak for themselves.
I identified:
KSH 688 billion in stalled projects in this country. Borrowed money, for which we are paying interest.
And, that KSH 688 billion is not serving ONE KENYAN TODAY.
KSH 36 billion in wasteful interest charges that leave no doubt about the intentions of the agencies involved - bills are left unpaid for long periods, just so corrupt politicians can steal from Kenyans through interest charges.
KSH 59 billion in illegal contract variations.
KSH 231 billion in projects where there is no value for money.
That's not my judgement. It is the Auditor General's.
KSH 2.5 trillion in revenue that can be collected by tomorrow evening - if we had a competent government that does not spend every waking hour conniving to steal from Kenyans.
So, here is the deal:
There is no way out of this mess without real change.
Painful change.
No way without real political change.
No way without a revolution in our minds and practices - about the role and purpose of government in our country.
No change without sending all of these bums in office home.
We have to decide - what is our national interest?
To continue serving a greedy, incompetent and corrupt political class, or, serving Kenyans.
We cannot do both.
We cannot pay an MP the equivalent of 3,586% of what a Kenyan is making, and expect to have functioning schools.
We cannot expect to lose KSH 222 billion to corruption in connection with SHA, and expect to have functioning hospitals.
And, we cannot continue electing clowns, criminals, and prima donnas and expect competent leadership from government.
IT WILL NEVER WORK.
@mshahi0024@AnonymousZiZ@alansari This is it.. a culture of master and slave. It is soo ingrained even among children. Woe unto you if you are black/African. No Saudi can ever see you as a "peer" or equal in humanity.
@mshahi0024@alansari Spot on. My dad was a diplomat there & it was one of the stations not to look forward to going back.
The deep seated culture of seeing everyone as a "servant/kaffir makes it difficult for foreigners. The software (mindset/theology) must change drastically.
@WilliamsRuto 4. There is a fuel crisis.
5. Prices of basic things have more than doubled...Some items retailing at 4 times. It is officially a black market economy since things have run out.
@WilliamsRuto 3. Expatriates are fearful - they are not moving around. They have negotiated to work from home until God knows when. Kenyans in TZ are praying that Suluhu does not PREY or retaliate on them.
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

Message from Chairman Tundu Lissu
October 26, 2025
“My brothers and sisters,
For several weeks now, I have been placed under total isolation — a state of forced loneliness. The fellow inmates who once shared my cell, all of whom had been sentenced to death, have been removed; I have been left completely alone.
My cell is now fitted with surveillance cameras (CCTV) that record everything I do — even when I relieve myself or change clothes. I no longer have any privacy whatsoever. This is not a matter of security; it is a deliberate act meant to humiliate my human dignity.
I appeal for this matter to be raised loudly and forcefully, because it is a blatant violation of human rights and an offense under the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (the Mandela Rules), which clearly state that:
• The inherent dignity of every human being must be respected, even when imprisoned (Rule 1);
• Prolonged or indefinite solitary confinement that denies a prisoner communication with others amounts to cruelty and torture (Rules 43 and 44).
It is also a violation of the Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania, Articles 12 and 13, which guarantee the dignity of every person and prohibit torture or degrading treatment.
I am prepared to endure any hardship for the sake of my belief in justice and the freedom of our people. But the humiliation of human dignity can never be acceptable — not for me, nor for anyone who bears the name of a human being.”
Admin
