PS Charles Hinga to Kenyans: Hang Me at Uhuru Park if Kazi Mtaani Funds are Stolen
Housing Principal Secretary Charles Hinga says he is ready to be publicly hanged at Uhuru Park if funds set aside for the Kazi Mtaani program are embezzled.
Hinga said this on Friday while responding to a Twitter user named Joshua K Njenga, who claimed that the program will soon be hit by a multi-million-shilling scandal.
“They are the same people, but they have different names for their billions, wait until you hear the story of Kazi mtaani billionaires,” Njenga tweeted.
But in a rejoinder, PS Hinga declared not a single cent will be lost in the program, and if it happens, Kenyans should hang him at Uhuru Park in broad daylight.
“On this one, it won’t happen. If you find any, I am ready to be hanged at Uhuru Park in broad daylight,” Hinga stated.
He further indicated that they have already invited the anti-graft agency to probe claims of chiefs extorting cash from youth working under the program.
“We have put serious safeguard measures to avoid any shenanigans. EACC already invited to investigate allegations of chiefs extorting cash from the youth,” he added.
The Sh10 billion program was launched by President Kenyatta in April to cushion jobless youths from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The program has been running in all of the country’s 47 counties and will benefit more than 270,000 youths engaged in various community and infrastructure development projects. The initiative provides income to youths, with each receiving Sh455 for each day they work.

He needs to prepare to be hanged.
He works for thieves and murderers.
Thieves will steal and murderers will kill.
It’s basic common sense.
My dear Kenyans am on my way to the store to buy a rope.
I don't understand this stupidity of keeping people busy using shovels for a job that can be done efficiently and faster with a machine.
Agreed. We need to invest more in machinery that can exponentially and efficiently perform work done by humans.
What kind of reasoning is tht isnt it better youth get tht money than a Chinese contractor bring machine but take all money to China wewe kwani ni nani hata hufikirii ata kidogo..
the youths should be working at the recycling industry..not health not health nor economical using those spades PPE
We will hang you for other sins that you have committed. Rope? Utanyamba. No No! Bullet is faster.
The PS is promising accountability and a proper use of the funds. Why can you all ask DP Ruto to make the same commitment? We cerebrate a thief like Ruto and chastise those who commit to safe guard your money! Kenyans, you are a funny type of beasts!
Why insult a PS who is willing to do good! Are Kenyans ever happened on good performance? Me, think not! And that is why we have every body stealing from your own country!
There is something seriously wrong with black peoples across the world; frankly and literally speaking! A PS has promised to be accountable with the money. The comments aI see here are some black folks insulting this man who has promised accountability! Are you all really cursed!? No wonder we never make progress because we don’t trust one another! What a shame!
