Kenya Has Overpaid Its Debts By More Than Ksh.1 trillion. It's Being Pocketed

[@laurentvielizalive.]

Those people who woke up early in the morning to elect Hon Okiya Omtatah did a very commendable thing. I think they are proud of him.

[@stevenegesa1577]

Verily I can assure you we just voted Omutata without dishing out a single shilling as is the norm with kenyan politics. Just his motor mouth during campaign. Hio mdomo yake sharp ndio ilifanya kila kabila in busia kumpa kura na pia ako na jina tunamjua,alisema tu mnipe kura niwafanyie kazi and we voted him. 2027 God willing he will be our governor. What we have now is another ojamoong,the only difference is that he is not a teso like ojamoong. We jumped from the frying pan into the fire itself.
