huyo ni hater tu. Why would anyone think Ndii is dumb? Everything he ever said has come to pass. In 2019, he said he pities the govt that will come after Jubilee because it will have a lot of trouble meeting financial obligations. In 2021, he said financial delinquency has no solutions, only consequences. And it's what we have now.

He's full of tihs.
But honestly kuna haters wengi sana wa Ndii pale X. His problem is giving out too much truth in a tone few people like, because he isnt a politician. I like his honesty though.

He is not honest.

He is honest to an extent but lacks integrity. Like Miguna, he is driven by personal interests.

I take any public pronouncements (post-election) as the truth/official govt policy. I also ignore anything that comes out of JS or his deputy, because it's usually lies, 99% of the time. For example, In separate live interviews, Gachietha and JS promised that power costs would decrease. Ndii contradicted them and said it could go up. People here and on Twitter claimed he would be sacked for contradicting his bosses. But we know what happened later.
He has recently said the patient is in ICU. You know what that means? He may die. We should all be worried.

He says the patient is in ICU but falls short of telling you it is because they are siphoning all the blood out. That is where his dishonesty comes in.
Pesa huliwa every time, and it's actually budgeted for. But what makes it worse this time is interest on loans keeps increasing at a higher rate than the revenue raised from increased taxation, because of the devalution of KSH.

But not at the rate it is being devoured now. Can you imagine counties hazijapata mtaji wao since october. Businesses owed money from 2021/22 yet to be paid.
Treasury records show they disbursed 34B to counties in december alone.

Cash crisis has once again hit County governments in the wake of delays by the National Treasury to release funds.
Disbursement records obtained by the Star shows that the devolved units have not received funds for up-to three months.
The delays threaten to disrupt crucial operations and delivery of services by the counties.
The records, obtained from the office of the Controller of Budget, reveals that some 24 counties are yet to receive disbursements for November.
None of the 47 devolved units has received a penny for December and January.
Treasury last released on December 29, 2023. Some Sh4.91 billion were released to seven counties to carter for the month of November.
Before that, the National Treasury had released some Sh17.13 billion to some 16 counties.
Out of the amount, some Sh6.77 billion was used to clear balances for October and Sh10.36 billion went to some 16 counties for the month of November.
Counties that have received November disbursements are Elgeyo Marakwet, Homa Bay, Isiolo, Kericho, Laikipia, Mombasa, Nairobi, Bomet, Kajiado, Kakamega, Kirinyaga, Kisumu, Mandera, Marsabit and Meru.
Others are Nandi, Narok Nyamira and Nyandarua.
Counties yet to received November funds are Siaya, Bomet, Busia, Bungoma, Embu, Garissa, Kiambu, Kilifi, Kisii, West Pokot, Wajir, Vihiga, Turkana, Trans Nzoia, Tana River and Nyeri.
Others are Taita Taveta, Kwale, Samburu, Machakos, Makueni, Lamu and Kitui.
The revelations come even as President William Ruto has been vowing to release county funds on time.
“I believe that our country’s fortunes, to a decisive extent, are dependent on how we manage the devolution of national power and resources,” the President said in December last year.
The late cash disbursement was endemic in the previous government triggering wrangles between the National and County governments.
Often, the governors threaten to shutdown County governments due to delayed release that affected crucial operations including payment of salaries.
The law requires the Treasury to disburse funds by the 15th of every month for the following month.
However, this has not been the case with the Treasury delaying the disbursements for up to four months.
The National Treasury has often cited cash flow challenges caused by underperforming revenues and huge public debt obligations for the delayed releases.
“The delay in disbursement of funds to counties has been occasioned by shortfall in revenue collection as well as high public debt obligations,” Treasury CS Njunguna Ndungu told MPs last year.
But the counties have also been on the spot for underperforming own-source revenues that have triggered their overreliance on the national cake.
The revelation comes at a time MPs are also up in arms about the delay by the Treasury to release National Government – Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) funds as school reopen.
Early this week, a group of MPs from both sides of the political divide demanded the release of Sh63 billion for CDF.
In a rare show of unity, the lawmakers threatened to initiate impeachment proceedings against CS Njuguna if the cash does not hit constituencies’ accounts in seven days.
The MPs said they would push for a special meeting to initiate the impeachment process if they do not receive the money by next week on Tuesday.
“We demand that the entire allocation of the CDF must be released within seven days as is due, if that is not done, we will call for a special sitting of the House, and draft an appropriate motion against the CS Treasury and the NG-CDF board or any other entity as we may determine at the time," Rarieda MP Otiende Amollo said.
I've looked for the Council of Governors' press conference video from Wednesday or Thursday but it seems nottobe uploaded yet. Nikipata nitakuwekea.

Sasa umeenda whataboutism. We were interrogating where the money we ARE being overtaxed, and we are borrowing from Asia to America, is going to. Hata wewe ni wa kuangalia rear view mirror to justify current failures?

Wewe @mzeiya …
Those two character traits cannot be used in one sentence describing one person.
They are contradictory and an oxymoron. Or so we were taught at Bishop Gatimu Girls.
Maybe @Mwalimu-G can explain further…

He constantly claims that the top honchos in government have little or no clue as to what they're doing and even accuses them of stealing public resources. That is honesty.
He still remains in the said government and in fact, is part of the inner circle and think tank in matters economy. That is a lack of integrity.
Perhaps I'm wrong though and if so, naomba uniwie radhi kwa kutojua kwangu. Kule kwa Mfalme Charles, ni kutembea tu nimetembea
