Kenyans Troll Govt After US YouTuber Mr Beast Drills 52 Wells in Kenya

The government's provision of services in Kenya has come under scrutiny as Kenyans express their concerns following the construction of 52 dams by American YouTuber Mr Beast.

Mr Beast's mission was to build 100 wells in Africa, with 52 of them being located in Kenya. The Youtuber was deeply shocked by the dirty water that schoolchildren were forced to drink. He holds strongly the view that rather than relying on hefty budgetary allotments by the government, these feats can easily be accomplished through philanthropic initiatives. He has urged the public for further support to enable many other practical and life-improving endeavours for humanity.

After the wells are dug, pure water is transferred to water tanks elevated on the towers for community convenience. According to Mr Beast, it took over eight months to finish this continental venture. With over 200 million followers on YouTube, the renowned content creator documented the project, showcasing the before and after projects. During his time in Kenya, he also constructed a bridge in a local village.

In addition, he generously contributed computers, shelves, books, footballs, whiteboards, and projectors to primary schools within the country. His philanthropy knows no bounds as it extended beyond Kenya to Zimbabwe and Cameroon where he undertook the building and installation of wells, transforming the lives of local communities. This act of pure kindness is well-received by Kenyans who have made comparisons between Mr Beast's initiatives and those undertaken by local politicians.

A portion of Kenyans have expressed their frustration, highlighting the excessive resources allocated to project launches. There is also concern that some local leaders may attempt to take credit for Mr Beast's endeavours. Additionally, President William Ruto has been subjected to ridicule for his previous unveiling of contaminated tap water in Kirinyaga and the recommissioning of outdated projects.

And I bet he did not shave of 25% off the budget for his project,into his pocket.
60 years of self rule, all nooks and crannies,and hamlets should have clean water and electricity,-by 10years ago...
Hey,didn't our first lady turn dirty water into clean drinking water?May be we should tap more into her divine powers...May be this divine option has conditions now that they are not willing to adibe by; such as the Ruto Family give up 60% of their wealth to the poor.An Option for which even the most ardent christian in Kenya would think this kind of option only comes from the devil himself.Yes its more blessed to give,buy not that much iguess...the thinking would go.

Ruto’s wife is a con artist.

She change dirty water from a newly constructed borehole into clean water after a month.

But she cannot change turn the water in the Indian Ocean into drinking water.

A conwoman.

The problem with 60 years of independence is when Kenyans themselves claim to be independent but are still expecting hand outs in the back of their mind. Imagine what a structured government can do if one guy can construct this many boreholes!

Dams or wells....these two are not interchangeable. Thank you Mr. beast for waking up sleeping dogs, usilale mwenyewe. Kudos!

Ruto is garbage and anyone who is supporting him is garbage just like him.

The government of Kenya is nothing but a den of thieves, liars & murderers.

Kenya is a country that needs a lot of help.

But you will see diplomats supporting career criminals, rapists , murderers and financing open defacation.

Diplomats in Nairobi are the most useless group of humans on planet earth. They encourage mediocrity and stupidity.

Majority of boreholes the Kenya government say they have built don’t exist.
The roads, don’t exist
The dams do exist.
The hospitals don’t exist.

Then you will see diplomats and journalists claiming the government of Kenya has built those projects.

And it’s a lie. Those projects only exist on paper and on newspapers.

Hungry billionaire Kenyans must choose between the 47 poop/useless/corrupt and expensive governments and development.Most of the 6.2m YES voters cannot explain why they preferred mucus to brains in 2010 vote for poverty+++++.How come most development including school fees are funded by CDF?

Kenyans are an ever-begging bunch who never appreciates a kind deed. Who of us here in the diaspora has not made enemies with our people because they talked shit after you stopped sending them your hard-earned dollars? I heard a blogger called Gaitho linking the help this mzungu is providing to a state-engineered domination of Africans by the US government in order to control us. The truth of the matter is, Africa is not poor because it lacks the resources, Africa is poor because of incompetent, corrupt, immoral, and valueless leaders. I challenge anyone with an opposing opinion to show me more than 3 Sub-Saharan success stories.

Those you mentioned with nostalgia are not about to quit because they have found a perpetual cash cow where they still from the Kenyan tax payers while they do duduly shit for them. The sickening state of mind is what has kept Kenya and Africa lagging behind in everything! Everything thst happens in Kenya simply puts me off.

Kenyans will never learn to do things for themselves as long as someone else is coming in to solve their problems! Free things make people not to think and plan the future. The gimme crap is a destructive poison to the minds of our people.

I saw something in one of the Dailies about governors being raked in terms of productivity,and I believe successful projects for public consumption.This exposure is only helpful if the less productive governors are not elected, come next round of elections.The good thing about projects is that they are tangible,and with ubiquitous cell phones with cameras ,one cannot lie and take a picture of someone's else's success-project.
In addition, the governors holding mkia should be held to account for their poor productivity,much like a child who comes home with an F is asked to explain...

Only in Kenya does a one acre perimeter fence gets budgeted for one million dollars. So we shouldn't be surprised if the guy could drill fifty two boreholes for the price of the government's one borehole.
