WHAT HAS THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT ACTUALLY DELIVERED SINCE 2010? LET’S ASK REAL QUESTIONS
Twelve years in. Billions borrowed. Trillions taxed. Still waiting. Still hoping. So what’s changed?
Foreign Affairs. How many deals have actually brought jobs back home? Not press statements—real employment for ordinary Kenyans. Which treaties made our exports competitive? Or is our foreign policy still about flashy photos, motorcades, and first-class tickets?
Defense and Security. Is the National Intelligence Service stopping threats or just watching Twitter? Are our borders safe or porous? And what about KDF—are they protecting or are they protecting certain interests?
Immigration. How long does it take to get a passport? A visa? An ID? Are services efficient or locked behind bribes? Who is getting fast-tracked—and who’s left stranded?
Currency. Why is the shilling in freefall? Where is the Central Bank when the prices of fuel, flour, and fees keep rising? Are interest rate decisions serving banks or the mwananchi?
National Planning. Where’s the growth? Where are the jobs? Where is the strategy beyond PowerPoint presentations and overhyped summits?
Transport. Why do roads fall apart a year after they’re launched? Why do tenders go to ghost contractors? Who actually benefits from big infrastructure if it doesn’t connect farmers to markets?
Education. Why are graduates jobless? Why do students still sit on floors? Why is cheating still rampant? Who’s auditing the curriculum?
Health. Is KNH a hospital or a waiting room? Do you trust public health systems with your life? Or would you rather sell land and head to India?
Energy. Why is electricity still unaffordable? Who’s behind the overpriced power deals? Why does Kenya Power need constant bailouts?
Revenue. Where does our tax go? Why are public servants richer than their ministries? Who checks the KRA—especially when your PIN is more monitored than public theft?
Debt. How much do we owe? Who negotiated? Who benefited? What was bought? Who signed? Who will repay?
Judiciary. Are courts a place for justice or delay? Do rich criminals get charged or just charged with tea? Are rulings for sale?
Policing. Is your local police station safe—or a collection point? How many crimes go unreported because people fear the system more than the thugs?
Prisons. Rehabilitation or punishment? Are people reforming or hardening? Is prison a revolving door for the poor?
Environment. Who is destroying forests? Who’s protecting wildlife—or hunting with licenses? Is climate action policy or PR?
Standards. Why do substandard goods flood shelves? Where is KEBS when people die from fake alcohol or bad cooking gas?
Data. Can you trust government statistics? Or are they tweaked to fit a press release?
Research. Where’s the funding? Why do young scientists run abroad? Who’s backing innovation with cash—not just claps?
WHAT NEXT?
Ask. Loudly. Publicly. Online. Offline. Demand audited reports. Compare promises to actual figures. Attend forums. Question MPs. Question CSs. Refuse press briefings as proof. Make leaders uncomfortable. Refuse silence. Share facts. Expose lies. Push back. Always.
No need for permission. Just start.
