@Maskani254 @kawive @nisisikenya @thekhrc @TIKenya @TISAKenya @Pawa254 @OkoaUchumi_KE #CostOfJusticeKEWhen the public is engaged and persistent: Waste becomes politically costly Excess benefits become harder to justify Institutions become more responsive In the end, accountability systems don’t run on laws alone—they run on public pressure that makes those laws.

What role can citizens play in demanding accountability, shaping governance decisions, and ensuring prudent use of public resources across all arms of government?#CostOfJusticeKE

@Maskani254 @kawive @nisisikenya @TIKenya @TISAKenya @thekhrc @Pawa254 Perceived Disparity: Individuals in economic hardship may view high-value, but poorly distributed, benefits as a system that is "negligent with the invisible" and "violent and arbitrary towards the moral outcasts. #CostOfJusticeKE

@Maskani254 @kawive @nisisikenya @TIKenya @TISAKenya @thekhrc @Pawa254 Reciprocity and System Legitimacy: When welfare rules are perceived as punitive or inconsistent, it undermines the perception that "equals are treated equally". This erodes the perceived legitimacy of the state's legal framework. #CostOfJusticeKE

@Maskani254 @kawive @nisisikenya @TIKenya @TISAKenya @thekhrc @Pawa254 They intensify fairness judgements during economic hardship they evaluate public spending through comparative fairness #CostOfJusticeKE

@Maskani254 @kawive @nisisikenya @TIKenya @TISAKenya @thekhrc @Pawa254 Public trust is collapsing because Kenyans keep hearing “there is no money” until leaders want benefits for themselves. Suddenly, billions become available overnight. #CostofJusticeKE @_James041

@Maskani254 @kawive @nisisikenya @TIKenya @TISAKenya @thekhrc @Pawa254 Even if legally approved, such benefits can erode trust in fairness. People may begin to question whether laws apply equally or favor those in authority.#CostOfJusticeKE

@Maskani254 @kawive @nisisikenya @TIKenya @TISAKenya @thekhrc @Pawa254 To maintain public confidence in equality before the law, state institutions must demonstrate accountability, transparency, and moderation in the use of public resources. #CostOfJusticeKE

@Maskani254 @kawive @nisisikenya @TIKenya @TISAKenya @thekhrc @Pawa254 Lack of transparency around allowances and grants can further deepen mistrust. When citizens do not clearly understand how benefits are determined or justified, suspicion and frustration toward public institutions tend to grow. #CostOfJusticeKE
