How 10,000 Kenyan Youth Lost Ksh80,000 Each

Not through betting or robbery but through corruption. As I type this I feel certain anger that I believe many Kenyan young people feel. It 1^st started with National Youth Service(NYS), close to 800M that belonged to the youth vanished. We all have seen ‘efforts’ to ‘trace’ the money. Bank accounts have been frozen and no arrests have been made. What we see is just a circus of politicians naming themselves and shifting blame from one quarter to another. Statistically speaking the 800M would have changed the lives of many young people, to be specific 10, 000 Kenyan youth each receiving a total of Ksh80,000. That is HUGE.

Before the NYS scandal settled, another corruption related case erupted.  Now touching the Youth Fund. Reports on the media indicate that 180 Million were lost. It is interesting how corruption has been so rampant that we all see the 180M as an insignificant amount. The other day I saw the chairperson of the fund trying hard to explain to the parliamentary committee how the 180M were spent. I ain’t no fool not to see some people ate the chicken but as the norm is, some believable explanation will come up.

Am that kind of Kenyan who would love a corruption-free country. When Murang’a Governor Mr Iria was roughed up into EACC offices I smiled! There is always something wrong seeing citizens’ escort a politician cum leader with corruption cases to the EACC offices. It is your money people, why chant praises to someone who stole your money??

 I look forward to the day when Kenyans will treat a leader found to have stolen public money the same way as they treat the thief who just snatched a bag on the street. #My2minSense.
