Former President Uhuru Kenyatta Accuses State House of Withholding Office Budget
Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has accused the State House of withholding the budget allocated for running his office. Despite being allocated Sh503 million in the current financial year, Kenyatta claims he has not received any funds.
The former president stated that the current government was unable to fund his office and has refused to provide him with a well-funded one.
The Kenyans asking the Kenyatta family to foot their bills must know that Kenya’s first lady, Mama Ngina, is a widow, and we should in fact be taking things like milk, maize, etc. to her. How dare we ask a widow who is taking care of children to foot her bill?
According to political pundits, Kenyans must understand that the Kenyatta family, including its extended members, cannot function without a government.
All their lives, they have known only government, with everything provided for by government, from tissue paper to toothpicks.
While former President Uhuru Kenyatta and his family looted and enriched themselves and their proxies at the expense of Kenya, he is entitled to his retirement package as stipulated by law.
