When you listen to people like @SakajaJohnson - you begin to understand the depth of our problem as a country.
Listen to him try to articulate why he is unable to build drainage systems.
He says - he lacks the capital.
And this right here is just about the dumbest thing anyone can say - when you know the facts.
I urge you to read my analysis of the absolute chaos and mayhem that is Nairobi County Finances.
That analysis is below.
But let me point out just a few examples of the sheer stupidity that is devouring Nairobi County.
In 2023-2024, @SakajaJohnson had KSH 33 billion in revenue to serve 4.6 million people who call Nairobi home.
Provide healthcare. Transportation systems. Social services. Sanitation and drainage services.
How did he spend this money?
(1) He spent 56% of this revenue on salaries - against the law, which caps such spending at 35%.
That was KSH 18 billion. By so doing - he stole KSH 6.7 billion in money that should have gone to build drainage systems.
This is not rocket science, @SakajaJohnson
So citizens lose KSH 6.7 billion in one fell swoop.
This KSH 18 billion went to 16,000 people who are 0.3% of Nairobi's population.
That leaves KSH 15 billion. Right?
He then dropped KSH 1.2 billion travelling to any foreign capital or exotic place that had any event where incompetent county politicians and their lackies could burn money.
Such as:
A trip to Marakech Morocco study "proactive management" at the cost of KSH 37 million. For two weeks, 19 people stayed in a resort destination in Morocco studying non-sense.
A trip to Vancouver, British Columbia to study "Conflict Resolution" at the cost of KSH 10.9 million. 14 People!
A trip to Dubai, to study "personal branding". Cost? KSH 9 million.
And on, and on, and on.
KSH 1.2 billion gets wasted that way. 100% wasteful.
Look at the third attachment here. It tells you that Nairobi County spent KSH 6.3 billion on legal fees to 4 lawyers (am working to bring you details of who these lawyers are).
I think we all know by now that math is not one of your strengths - so let's help you a bit.
KSH 6.3 billion, @SakajaJohnson - is 20% of the County Budget. And it went to 4 lawyers.
That is despite the fact that Nairobi County had a team of lawyers who cost citizens KSH 267 million in 2023-2024!
And worse - read the Auditor General's comment:
It was related to cases of corruption, incompetence in managing contracts, and other shenanigans like those.
Point is - it was avoidable. 100% avoidable.
What could KSH 6.3 billion worth of infrastructure look like in Nairobi?
You lose KSH 6.7 billion in a salary heist to 0.3% of those in government. Lose another KSH 1.2 billion on foolish travel. And lose another KSH 6.3 billion to 4 lawyers.
That, @SakajaJohnson is KSH 14 billion.
KSH 14 billion. In just three easy examples of wastage.
I have not even said a damn thing about the thousands of ghost workers on payroll in Nairobi.
And there are thousands. Not me saying.
Look on the fourth attachment.
Fellow Kenyans,
Allow me to quote one of our compatriots (@finiius):
"We are a house where the parents sell the roof, to buy a suitcase, for a trip to ask the neighbors for a blanket"
The people with the resources are wasting them right in front of our eyes - and then, they tell us that we are living in squalor because we lack resources.
These people are incompetent, as hell.
There is a clip of this same character somewhere telling kids that he is waiting on Ruto to buy these kids a "chapati making machine" - whatever that is.
That is when those kids will eat.
Meanwhile, he just gave KSH 6.3 billion of taxpayer money to four of his buddies.
It's insane.
Fellas - they say that stupidity is like death. When you are dead - you are not sad. Because you don't know that you are dead.
But your loved ones feel the impact of your death.
Same is true of stupidity.
These guys in office apparently have no idea that they are stupid and incompetent.
Don't you see?
How else can anyone open their mouth and say with a straight face that they lack the resources to serve Kenyans, when they are losing money like drunks in a casino every which way?
Lord have mercy!
