Everyone in government should be forced into retirement asap before the country is bankrupt. They have stolen everything on site. I am sending an SOS before the doomsday. Put every one in jail.

Putting them in jail will create another burden on the already overburdened taxpayers. Take back what they have stolen, make them return all they have eaten and let them go away poor. That’s lesson enough because money is their god. That way, the wananchi do not have to take care of them. To hell they belong.

The media is the most corrupt enterprise in Kenya. While the police takes shs 300, the media takes millions. If we take into account the total root, the media is way ahead of any government ministry.

Ndugu Matiang'i, nakuomba uwakubali na pia kuwaruhusu wananchi wote kutumia simu za kisasa ili kunakili (record) uhalifu unaofanywa na watu wa idara yako.
Nakuhakikishia ya kwamba, uhalifu unaotokana na ufisadi utamalizika punde si punde/mara moja.
