The quintessential question every Kenyan must grapple with today is: What is the purpose of government in Kenya? Let's take a look at Baringo County as we try to answer that question. Baringo County has a poverty rate of 47%. This is despite the fact that it has received KSH 60.3 billion since devolution. This county can only raise 3% of its budget, or KSH 250 million. 11 years into devolution. Its 45 MCAs in 2024-2025 consumed 10% of the entire budget on themselves. 10% of the entire budget. This county, after raising KSH 250 million locally: Spends 55% of all revenue on salaries for the 1% of people in government. The legal limit is 35%! That gimmick alone - 55% vs 35% - robs citizens KSH 1.5 billion in 2024-2025 alone. In the last three years, citizens have lost KSH 3.3 billion that way. Now, watch the attached video of a healthcare facility - collapsing because of corruption, incompetence, and indifference. This KSH 3.3 billion went to 1% of those in government. And, it does not include the money lost to corruption in the shameful facility under discussion. After raising KSH 250 million locally, or 3% of its budget, the county drops KSH 381 million on travel. Travelling in style. Where to? "Benchmarking exercise" in Tanzania. "Smart (more appropriately, "dumb") governance" in Dubai. "Empowering excellence" in Dubai. "Digital conference" in Rwanda. "Retirement planning" in Tanzania. "Leadership and integrity" in Tanzania. I mean - you gotta hand it to them. They are trolls per excellence. Leadership and integrity? The point is - this county that started by taking 55% of all revenue on salaries, drops KSH 381 million travelling, for absolute nonsense. ZERO VALUE FOR CITIZENS. The governor is taking home a basic income that is a whopping 75 times the income earned by the average citizen. The MCA? 15 times. All this information can be found on the last attachment. This county, in 2024-2025, spent KSH 0 on bursaries - in a county where one in two people cannot afford two meals in a day. It total, it spent only KSH 170 million on education in the county, which was about 1.9% of the budget. For all the children in the county. 55% on salaries, 1.9% on education. After all that wastage and greed - believe it or not, the county has a lengthy list of stalled projects. Look at the the third attachment here. Many of the stalled projects list: "Inadequate funding" has the reason that the project failed. The stalled projects include healthcare facilities and schools. Let that sink in. Our laws tell county governments - do not spend more than 35% of revenue on salaries for yourselves - because you are not the purpose for devolution. You are not the purpose for the existence of government. But - that doesn't mean anything. They spend 55% on salaries - on a tiny fraction of the county - less than 1% of the county population. In three years alone, this theft through illegal spending on salaries amounts to KSH 3.3 billion! They then take KSH 381 million for travel. The County Governor's office, is allocated KSH 3.9 billion, out of a county budget of about KSH 9 billion. Crazy, right? The Governor's office's budget is larger than: The county assembly; Roads department; Health services department Agriculture department; and Water and irrigation. COMBINED! The question I said we need to grapple with is: What is the purpose of government in Kenya? Devolution as currently set up will not work, without significant reform. What you see above is not government. It is not devolution. It is extraction. Pure and simple. We as Kenyans need to love our country better. And when you love anything, you want the best version of it. We cannot spend 70% of every single shilling in our name on 3% of Kenyans, and act like we are a country with a government. Our country owes KSH 12 trillion, for which the future of this country is in serious jeopardy. A country where about 50% of all citizens are youth - is spending over 80% of all revenue on debt service, perpetuating this type on insanity. And when Kenyans ask questions, they are called merchants of anarchy. Their patriotism is questioned. They are told they are not educated. Change Must Come. Baringo County Govt. Abdi Nasambu

When the third governor of Nakuru County took office in 2022, the county was collecting KSh 3.6 billion in Own Source Revenue (OSR). In just one year, that figure dropped to KSh 1.6 billion. A year later, it has fallen further to KSh 700 million. At the same time, Kiambu County moved in the opposite direction — doubling its OSR from KSh 2.7 billion to KSh 5.4 billion. Ironically, both county chiefs served as Senators during the same period. They understood oversight. They understood revenue law. They understood accountability. So what changed? How does a county hospital like PGH Nakuru, reportedly generating close to KSh 2 billion annually, exist in a county that now declares only KSh 700 million in total OSR? How does quarrying in Maai Mahiu, boosted by the President’s affordable housing agenda, generate an estimated KSh 1.8 billion annually, yet the county books reflect less than KSh 1 billion in total own-source revenue? This is not a small discrepancy. This is not a clerical error. This is a collapse. If revenue streams are expanding — hospital collections rising, quarry levies increasing, business activity growing — then declining OSR points to only three possibilities: • Weak systems • Massive leakage • Or deliberate sabotage of county revenue structures Nakuru is not a poor county. It is strategically located, agriculturally rich, industrially active, and commercially vibrant. A county with that profile does not shrink its revenue base unless leadership allows it. The people of Nakuru deserve answers. Where is the money going? Who is accountable? Why are services not improving while collections are allegedly happening? This is not politics. This is public finance. And if these figures are accurate, then what we are witnessing is not just underperformance — it is a betrayal of public trust. Nakuru deserves transparency. Nakuru deserves leadership. Nakuru deserves better. Sen Tabitha Karanja Keroche, MGH

When you listen to people like Sakaja Arthur Johnson - 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, Sakaja Arthur Johnson 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, Sakaja Arthur Johnson 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, Sakaja Arthur Johnson - 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, Sakaja Arthur Johnson 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! Senate of Kenya National Assembly KE Edwin Sifuna Dr. Miguna Miguna EACC Nasambu My Analysis of Nairobi County is available below: Bonnie Mwangi, CPA, LLM, MBA on X: "If you have 32 minutes, I will show you how Nairobi County loses 32,949,346,981. Yes, that's not a typo. KSH 32 billion. Let me walk you through a trip to hell. Data from 2023-2024. The county had KSH 33 billion to spend. To serve 4.6 million residents. The county / X
