Hustlers in Kenya are multi- millions. There are no poor people in Kenya. We need no loans from outside. We are already very rich country. Our hustlers are millionaires. If this is not the dynasty, I don’t know what dynasty is! Now we can guess who got a huge cut from the Goldenberg thievery. Who was the finance minister then? Your guess is as good as mine. And these are the guys who ask for increase of allowances when they go to parliament! If our hustlers are that rich, the foreign governments and organizations that loan or grant Kenya money should stop doing so forthwith. Hustlers, you were taken for a ride. You will be milked until you bleed blood.

More burden on taxpayers on the way:

Two term Mpig gets about 8 million shillings send off,in addition to Sh. 127,000 monthly" pocket change" for life. Now tell me if these thieves are not there for self enrichment.

These are the same goons along with their MP counterparts that now want: free millions to buy a car, free millions for house mortgage; although they already have cars and houses. They want free 5 star meals at parliament and they are dying to lay their hands on the corruption money they call CDF. They pretend to go and fix roads, cows-deeps and local clinics and broken schools- everything that they know nothing about, yet, they were elected to serve as law making body and not village handymen to go around carrying a basket full of CDF money. Kenyans! Its your money they are hoarding. Most of these billionaires have never held a real job in their lives. They take the money their fathers stole from you and pile it up with their present loot and think you are a fool. You know what? I think they are right. Welcome to the hustler team- a new Monika for billionaire thieves.

While those that acquire riches and wealth through wrongful means deserve condemnation, it should be a matter of concern when we begrudge or vilify everyone
; hustlers or dynasty. And as much as many individuals in Kenya are suspected or known to have crooked their means of getting money, there are many as well who have honestly worked their ways into getting rich.
Kenya has so many people who are rich but serving in government yet we hear little or no about them.
Working in government while rich is not a misnomer.

Asista you comfortable speak in US. Someone else's land, someone else's decision to keep the corrupt out of power. You are a shameless fool and a disappointment to your generation which will probably divorce you when they realize tribalism was your only motivation to vote for a Ruto government. Utterly disgusting. You are the same people I picture being mugged or ribbed blind in the streets of Nairobi, to enter a business deal and lose ALL your money, take that case to a corrupt court system. Get a high Blood pressure and a heart attack when you realize you've hit the wall only to die in hospital when no services are being offered to you because you're dead broke fighting a corrupt system. And those who come to view your lifeless body run into an accident because of the dilapidated structures in place, because a leader you supported pocketed the money that was meant for development. This may happen to any Kenyan. But I pray that terrible storm of misfortune hit you and your fellow hustlers thoroughly mfunzwe adabu kupigia Wezi Kura! Nkt!

There is a reason they came to power.They have five years to prove themselves or they are out.
The God of Kenya is still on the throne!!
The campaigns were so heated in Kenya, that Kenyans learned a lot and woke up. Kenyans know what to expect and are wide awake!!
We wish this government well in their performance!!

It is extremely hard being a rich man/woman in a poor country. Remember those words when a 'moja-kwisha' will be putting a panga on your wrinkled neck and there's no 911 to call. Or when your teenage daughter gets pregnant and has no emergency medical services because the hospital next to you has no services or basic amenities like gloves. THERE IS NO PLEASURE IN STEALING. NO REWARD. JUST SUFFERING. MAKING CORRUPT DEALS AND TELLING YOURSELF AM A MILLIONAIRE- MULTIMILLIONAIRES??😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Living in that big house you got through corrupt deals and walking over raw sewage right outside your house? Basic things that give you peace of mind- you will never have. MOST KENYANS/AFRICANS are choosing to remain where they can have peace of mind. Live to see their generation. My peace of mind is priceless, you can never tag a price to it while fighting liver disease from all the alcohol you gobble each night trying to cope with your miserable situation in Kenya.

You know Mkenya halisi you are very narrow minded and tribalistic and that's why most times I have chosen to ignore your comments because they are meaningless. While you're here advocating for thieves and robbers just know your sorry situation isn't like the rest of us. Watu tuli invest Kitambo Jamuhuri we simply relocated for our peace of mind that's why we get so bothered when some goons who cannot keep their itchy fingers out of public coffers ruin our country. You know mentality ya mwanamme ninmuhimu sana! Yes many leaders I understand grew in abject poverty na hii ndio mara yao ya kwanza kuona pesa and that's why they can NEVER be satisfied with it. And no matter how much they steal, they can't ever stop because they don't know the value, they don't see it as a mistake. This is unfortunately what they were taught growing up- steal, steal, steal, lie and steal. Hakuna kuhustle hapo. And since you strongly identify with these thieves, that's why I strongly believe you couldn't survive in America or whatever country you were in. By all means, there are strong rooted systems and structures in these so called countries that are strictly followed that we may never witness in our own country/continent because we have refused to conform. We have refused to change. Kichwa ngumu! Wajinga kupindukia- voting for the same oppressive individuals, thieves and goons who think public property and funds belong to their mothers, idiots who lie and cut corners as if they will never face justice, tribalistic individuals who have nothing but hatred in their hearts and bullshit between their ears, nepotistic fools who think one of their "people" will always be in some sort of a powerful position to rescue them kikiumana! Kenyans vote the same way since independence and expect different results. You have to set yourself apart. You have to do what's right, take a stand and abolish greed and wickedness from your mind and your heart. You keep ranting about folks investing in Jamuhuri but what are the assurances, if you drop and die today who is to make those same deals you made and cut those corners to make sure your property is intact? Why would you put yourself in such a position when you vehemently advocate for and vote for thieves and robbers? You aren't fooling anyone with your sentiments ati these folks genuinely worked for their money. How sure are you? Are you amongst the Kenyans asking the tough questions to make sure their money is accounted for? What difference are you making in the lives of those around you, what changes have you made sure you witness from your leaders currently to assure you that Kenya is in safe hands? None! None at all! Kenya is in a shittier position with Ruto and Gachagua. And while I thank God I won't be dealing with the day to day struggles that Kenyans face due to bad leadership. I will stand with the ones who want to see these atrocities in my country come to an end. The brave ones, on the frontline, taking a thrashing, losing their lives correcting the mistakes of these Godforsaken leadership!
