Raila Odinga: I will free all petty offenders,

[Meria]

And go after high profile graft suspects.

Uhuru anaambiwa ameshindwa na kazi

 

[shocks]

He needs to define petty offenders

 

[Field Marshal]

When will I hear commonsense policies from our so-called leaders?

Something like, "I will set up a Sh200 billion fund for SMEs with a track-record of being in business to access credit at 6% so that they create employment"

Or, "I will subsidise our farmers by removing taxes on all farm inputs and farm machinery"

Mt Kenya will sink to the ground before you hear that coz our so called leaders have nothing between their ears

Matuhuhu kama alikataa kupatiana a mere 100K kijana wa Naivas aachiliwe ndio ataweza hii?

Sounds like bottom up fund

 

[Total Man Bee-Watt]

Ojinga can't offer any remedy to the problems facing the country

Papa...you have been around since Vasco da Gama's time. Did you see the Portuguese or Omani Arabs or the British set up native benefiting schemes? You expect the children of the petty bourgeoisie do this?

Yo, what we need in this country is systems that work, not handouts

How's a cash bail a hand out to a peasant who can't raise the money?

Yes, it is a handout regardless of where it goes. In Kenya you are normalising politicians who give peasants handouts to be the good ones (which they use to hoodwink you as they steal public resources).

Sonko no doubt improved a few lives with his handouts as governor of Nairobi, but he had an opportunity to set up systems that improve all Nairobians lives but failed.

You miss the context. The punishment did not warrant the crime committed. Kenyans walikuwa wanachanga to bail him out. So were these kawaida folk planning to steal from public coffers?

Exactly. Any random person can give handouts. But your politicians are the only ones who have the opportunity to set up working systems using public resources with the authority given to them via public trust. So why should the politicians be satisfied with giving handouts (while looting with the other hand) when they have the opportunity to do something much greater, which would make the handouts unnecessary in many cases?
