MPs office furnishings

All protocals observed…Uhuru na Ruto ni wezi. Hawa Mp wa Jubilee wanatukamua bila lube. What do you need 600K for an office ? Initial budget was about 250k per MP which translates to about 100M ksh. Enough to buy a whole hospitals equipment.

I think we just need to burn the August house when next session?

MPs shield Sh600,000 per head office spruce up fund from State budget cuts - Business Daily

Bila lube.

kwani reddy killowatt amenyamba?

Uhuru ni mwizi. Incompetent kabisa. Why can’t he use his super-human powers to stop this nonsense?

Y’all are asking way too much from one dude. He only has 8 hours a day to work. Think of all his job functions.

Kuna kitu inaitwa sarcasm…ukiitafuta utaiona.

:smiley: if a kid is found to be malnourished and suffering from nutrient deficient conditions, nobody in their right minds will blame the small kid - even if in reality its the kid refusing to eat, the parent takes the blame.

Ati mtoto amekataa kukula maharagwe, akikula anjitapikisha and now has a protruding belly due to Kwashiorkor, the 2 parents are to blame, in some countries they would be arrested for neglect :smiley:

Handle yako ingine ni gani, you’re full of wisdom.

I actually think @Simiyu22 just attempted counter sarcasm in reaction to mzee @FieldMarshal CouchP…not sure if it worked though.

What are you trying to say say? The electorate or the president is the parents? You cannot simplify complex matters by using generalizations that only make sense to muguka base folk. Donge!

Even before I finished typing…pamba sees you as an Oracle of wisdom.

My question is this, why can’t furniture of previous MP be used by the incumbent? This is too wasteful.

then they will refuse to pass his bills . so he has to lay a carrot in front of an ass to keep it walking

Parliament was also made “independent” from the all evil “President”. It sets its own budget, time table and approves all money spent by all institutions in Kenya. It also investigates all institutions in Kenya on camera or off camera. Now these 300 people are the same cunning people called politicians with themselves first, party second and Kenyans last. It would help if the interest for all three was the same otherwise the 1-3 order is the fall back order. In Nyayo era did you see former President Moi taking MP’s to State House to plead his way or former President Kibaki doing the same under former constitution. We created another monster. My only wish is that no President ever lacks a majority in Parliament, he will be lame duck kabisa

You know this is how this is how he’s been able to turn legislature into a vestigial arm.

He lets them keep all the perks and in return they rubber-stamp everything executive does.
Does not make him a mwizi but something just as bad.

Maybe they frequent the same base

Bila lube

Very good articles @kah tony

Next up …

  1. How the Office of the President’s budget has increased 150% in 4 years (3.5 to 8.9 billion)

  2. How the DP’s wife’s office budget increased 600% in a year (14.7 million to 103 million)

uruhu alishindwa juzi bt stll had his way. president ni president

:smiley: why are you reading too much into a simple non complex story, its just that, a parent and a kid who refuses to eat, then gets sick - I just simply put it that the small kid can not be blamed. If you look hard at everything in life, you will always see what you want.

:D:D:D That’s the extent of negro intelligence
