@MwangiBonnie @AnyangNyongo I would have thought the Proffessor would have done better in prioritising development but no difference.

Kisumu County under @AnyangNyongo is an interesting place. The recipient of KSH 80 billion in transfers from the National Government, which is a fancy way of saying "money from Kenyans across the country"- faces a 40% poverty rate. In 2024-2025, that county's government consumed 63% of every shilling it had, on salaries for the 1% of people in the county that are in government. 63%. For every three shillings it spent, 2 went to those in government. In salaries alone. Keep that in mind. This was followed up by KSH 491 million in travel. Take a look at these trips for yourself. Foreign trips alone took 3 pages to document. Unbelievable level of greed, indifference and stupidity. I look at these trips, and wonder if we are cursed as a people. Ni nini kibaya? This is @AnyangNyongo documenting the trips: "Attended various Meetings in the USA". May 2024. "Official Duty in Mauritania". June 2024. "Attended a Kenya and friends meeting in the park", in UK. July 2024. Take a 20 second break to laugh out loud at this stupidity. Corrupt and greedy politicians, are running out of places to go. They are literally running out of creativity. To the point where they are now heading to public parks in the UK. Just so they can charge per diems. Anyway, lets continue. "AIF 2023 market days", in Morrocco. November 2024. "JT Agribusiness Solutions visit" in Tanzania, April 2024. "Pan African council and executive committee" in Morocco. December 2024. "Agricultural Early Warning System" in Korea. June 2025. "Ealaska Games" in Uganda, February 2025. "Board Exit Strategies Programme" in Uganda. January 2025. "The 38th African Summit" in Ethiopoa. February 2025. "The Second Ad-Hoc Committee meeting" in Morocco. August 2024. "Kenya and friends meeting in park" in London. July 2024. "Afrexim Bank Trade Fair" in Egypt. November 2023. "Protocol and Diplomatic" in Uganda. June 2024. "Casablanca, Krakow and Manzini" in Morocco. September 2024. "Addis Ababa", Ethiopia. February 2025. "Uganda" in August 2024. "Ealaska Games" in Uganda. February 2025. "Air ticket and contingency" to Amsterdam. June 2025. "Board Exit Strategies Meeting" in Uganda. January 2025. "Training on protocol and diplomatic relations" in Uganda. January 2025. "Agricultural Early Warning System" in Korea, June 2025. Are you tired yet? The trips above are a sample of the travel expense from Kisumu County. In just 2024-2025. And only from @AnyangNyongo's office. The County Assembly also had its trips. Many of them. When are these people ever working? When are they home? This is happening in a county with a 40% poverty. In a country that, in the last6 months of 2025, spent 95% of EVERY SINGLE SHILLING it had, on debt service. People get into these positions telling Kenyans that they are the most qualified people. That they are "professors". But as soon they are in office - they cannot do a damn thing without new education they just found out that they need. And, not only do they need it, it cannot only be found outside Kenya. In Morocco. USA. Korea. Dubai. And other places. Ladies and gentlemen, our politicians are dumb as hell. This County started by taking 63% of every shilling as salaries. Ok? 63%. When the legal limit is 35%. By spending 63% - they stole KSH 3.5 billion in just 2024-2025, from Kisumu Citizens. Understand what am saying here. We have laws for a reason. The law says: don't spend more than 35% on the money on yourself, so that we can build schools. Build roads. Build hospitals. Because the point and purpose of government is to serve people. But @AnyangNyongo and his horde of thieves in the county assembly have perverted government into a machine for extraction. On salary alone, in one year, KSH 3.5 billion is gone. All this information is in the table attached, which every Kenyan should save, read, memorize, and utilize. To hold these crooks to account. How many level 5 hospitals can be built using this KSH 3.5 billion? In the last three years alone, Kisumu County has taken KSH 5.8 billion this way. By spending almost everything on salaries for 1% of the county population. They then wasted KSH 491 million on travel. You have seen the trips. What is the value of those trips to citizens. And why do they need to travel to Korea for that? Why are politicians flying to hang out at the park in London? It is time for common sense and business sense in government. This stupidity needs to stop. As if the 63% was not enough. As if the KSH 491 million wasted on travel was not enough, @KisumuCountyKE spent KSH 173 million catering for this 1% of the county population. Catering! Mandazi na chai. KSH 173 million. Do you know how much this county spent on bursaries in a county with a 40% poverty rate? A big, fat, ZERO. ZERO! How about education, generally? The entire county spent KSH 148 million. Out of a budget of KSH 12.5 billion. They spent more money on mandazi and chai, than they spent on education in the entire county. On top of all that: Each MCA took home KSH 87,000 in sitting allowances every month. When the average Joe made KSH 24,000 a month in Kisumu. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the meaning of government in Kenya today. @KisumuCountyKE @MoGAbdi @KenyaGovernors @NAssemblyKE @Senate_KE @FlavNasmbu @MigunaMiguna

@ManUtd Ready to punish us again 🤪

Up next: Newcastle on Boxing Day 🥊

@ManUtd Where?

We keep going 😤

@africaupdates How can this be allowed to happen under your watch? @magicalkenya @rebecca_miano @NemaKenya @ledamalekina @NarokCountyGvt @KWSKenya @OleNtutuK A hotel built right at the migratory path? Have you all lost it.

Why Kenyan🇰🇪 Government officials? Why allow such an illegality? This is a clear case of environmental vandalism. That hotel/lodge shouldn't be there. Ritz-Carlton Mara - built by Marriott built on a key wildlife corridor at the Kenya🇰🇪-Tanzania🇹🇿 border, (a migratory route) blocking river crossing by thousands of wildlife and is accused of violating Kenya’s environmental laws.

@africatechie @africatechie you guys hold on. In 🇰🇪 we had similar situation but held on till the dictator wore on. Then we put in a new constitution where president can only serve 2 terms. Never easy with most #Africa states but freedom will come #FreeCameroon

This is beautiful! ❤️

@africatechie Thats beautiful to see! Change at last.

Fellow Africans: We did it!!! Cameroonians have voted our 92-year-old president out of power. They’ll try to steal our victory, but we won’t let them. After 43 years, we’ve found our voice. We’ve found our power. 🇨🇲✊🏾

Weekend 🚲 biking to great viewpoints in #Mombasa #dongokundu bypass 🛣 @sgr with the boys. JonathanOtieno EmmanuelMadanga & fellow enthusiasts we met on the way. HE @FrancisThoya001 we are slowly shaping up 🚲

@Asmali77 Street lighting is such a basic necessity in a city. I wonder what Sakaja gets right.

What happened to all the street lights in Nairobi? The city is in total darkness. And it’s not even in some isolated areas. It’s everywhere! Pitch BLACK. DARKNESS. This is not an image of a capital city. A home to millions of people and businesses.

No better place to be on Sundays than here! @CapitalJazzClub
