The debt Moi handed to Kibaki: 600 billion.
600 billion in 40 years.
The debt Kibaki handed Uhuru: 1.8 trillion.
Kibaki borrowed 1.2 trillion in 10 years.
The debt Uhuru handed Ruto: 8.5 trillion.
Uhuru borrowed 7.3 trillion in 10 years!
Legally, Uhuru was allowed to borrow only 2 trillion, but he borrowed an extra 5.3 trillion ILLEGALLY.
By the time Uhuru left, we had paid 7 trillion according to an independent and verifiable forensic audit.
We paid the legal 2 trillion, and also paid Uhuru's illegal debt of 5 trillion.
Therefore, our balance was 1.5 trillion in 2022.
However, the debt has continued to skyrocket, rising from 8.5 trillion to 12 trillion.
This begs the question, who is pocketing our money?
Why is the parliament not summoning Uhuru to explain this blatant constitutional violation?
Why is Ruto not being put to task by parliament on why he continues to abet this illegal repayment?
Why are we paying a debt that doesn't exist?
Today, for every 100 shillings we collect as revenue, 96 shillings is repaying this debt.
A debt that doesn't exist, builds nothing, and gives zero return on investment.
We are only left with 4 shillings to pay civil servants, run the government, and build infrastructure.
We are in chains.
Our children deserve to be told the truth.
We can't hand the country to them that is in debt, in shambles and in chains.
This madness must stop!
Grew up in Kibera, lived as a street boy for a time, but with a desire to make a difference and starting with just a football, he formed a youth Sacco that grew into Shining Hope for Communities (SHOFCO). Today, his work brings hope and services to over 4 million people across the country. What an inspiring story!

Raised in Kibera’s streets, Odede turned his struggles into a movement—founding SHOFCO with just KSh 20 and a soccer ball. Today, it impacts 6 million Kenyans yearly. SHOFCO Kennedy

FLASH: Protestors SHOT DEAD by Kenyan police during a TAX REVOLT.
The revolt was spurred by Kenya's latest IMF DEAL.
As Harvard Prof. Robert Barro puts it, "THE IMF DOESN'T PUT OUT FIRES, IT STARTS THEM."
For those who lament education and think Africa could have a better way out that is simpler and easier that does not include education, remember SSA has the highest return on investment in education of all continents
Italian artist Salvatore Garau recently auctioned an invisible sculpture for €15,000. The sculpture's initial price was set between €6,000 & €9,000; however, the price was raised after several bids were placed.
