Out of 67 senators, only 15 are needed for the Senate to sit. For two weeks in a row, fewer than 15 showed up.
Sh739,600 a month. That is a senator’s salary, before allowances.
In those two weeks, seven Cabinet Secretaries came to answer questions on stalled roads, drought relief money, 427 acres of Nyatike forest given to a private gold company, etc.
All seven were sent away because there was no quorum.
Sakaja waited two hours for senators to show up to examine Nairobi’s accounts. Ok, no problem with this really ju hata hakuna chenye anaenda kufanya.
And 689 matters are waiting, including the Public Participation Bill.
This is just after a four-week holiday.
A teacher who misses two weeks of class is disciplined. A nurse who misses two weeks of shifts loses pay.
But a senator can stay away for two weeks and collect a full salary.

Millennials went from spending hours picking the perfect ringtone to having their phone on silent for the rest of their lives. Millennials went from partying all night with random criminals to barely leaving their house and getting anxiety when they do. Our range is impressive. You can't over or underestimate us. We thrive in extremes.

Kenyans are really suffering in silence in the hands of Kenya Power, but now since that incident of the lady who was told to pay 200k to get power back went viral, many other Kenyans have also joined her to share their individual frustrations.
The monopoly power company is full of cons as it's technicians

Kenya is reportedly moving to cancel the Japanese-funded Likoni Bridge project despite years of preparation, completed designs and an already concluded procurement process.
The shift could mean losing a Sh6 billion grant and cheap Japanese financing in favour of a potentially more expensive Chinese deal.

The World Bank now estimates that Kenya could have saved up to $900 million on the SGR.
This is not a new controversy. I challenged the legality and constitutionality of the SGR procurement in court, in Nairobi High Court Petition No. 58 of 2015, consolidated with Petition No. 209 of 2014. The matter proceeded through the Court of Appeal and ultimately to the Supreme Court in Petition Nos. 13 and 18 of 2020.
We raised concerns about single sourcing, procurement violations, public debt, transparency and failure to secure value for money.
The World Bank’s findings now reinforce the need to revisit these concerns.
Who takes responsibility for the billions lost? Kenyans deserve answers and accountability. Public money must be protected.
Kenya could have saved up to $900 million on its Chinese-built railway, according to the World Bank. The report flags procurement failures, land speculation and alleged compensation fraud, raising fresh questions about corruption and public spending.

People who think Uhuru Kenyatta is less of a thief than William Ruto are lying to themselves.

Kenya has a software problem not a hardware problem. Fix the software and create the environment for investment and jobs. World Bank wameshika, tunangoja yule wa shiny things aelewe agenda ni Katiba.

The World Bank says corruption in Kenya's land sector is making it harder and more expensive for businesses and households to access and own land through bribes, fraudulent records and illegal allocations.
Nearly 31% of foreign-owned firms in Kenya consider access to land a major business constraint.
