Edwin Sifuna - Jirongo why did you print money? It was Goldenberg money

Join this channel to get access to perks:
/ @theealfahouse
Edwin Sifuna, the Nairobi Senator takes no prisoners in his agitation for good governance. Sifuna has morphed from an easy talking politician to a fierce defender of the people and a constant thorn in the flesh of the beleaguered Kenya Kwanza administration. He’s also taking on Jirongo on his source of wealth, why the administration he served printed money and the Goldenberg scandal. Sifuna has become a darling of the populace for defending their rights and demanding accountability from the government.

I like what Sifuna is saying: Kenya has changed and what worked under Moi regime can’t work now. Sadly, Ruto is using Moi’s script. He’s also right about Kibaki. I am from the Mountain and Kibaki messed big time. He never honored the MOU he signed and that would have made a huge difference in Kenyan political landscape to this day. He took Kenya backwards after such a momentous time of 2002.
