My Leader @OkiyaOmtatah l believe it's time.
The World Bank now estimates that Kenya could have saved up to $900 million on the SGR.
This is not a new controversy. I challenged the legality and constitutionality of the SGR procurement in court, in Nairobi High Court Petition No. 58 of 2015, consolidated with Petition No. 209 of 2014. The matter proceeded through the Court of Appeal and ultimately to the Supreme Court in Petition Nos. 13 and 18 of 2020.
We raised concerns about single sourcing, procurement violations, public debt, transparency and failure to secure value for money.
The World Bank’s findings now reinforce the need to revisit these concerns.
Who takes responsibility for the billions lost? Kenyans deserve answers and accountability. Public money must be protected.

The World Bank is confirming what I have been saying : that the Ruto regime is stealing from the Kenyan people.
That is in part why the cost of living is high. Why milk is not affordable. It is why families are struggling to put food on the table.
Together, let’s send these thieves to Kamiti.

I will be exposing thieves, whether Wantam or Tutam.
More than 4,000 families in Kenya are still in tears after being scammed out of over KSh 600 million.
This fake pastor, James Wanjohi, opened a travel agency called WorthStart Africa. He promised people that he would find them jobs abroad. These people were told to pay between KSh 100,000 and KSh 140,000 and were assured of jobs. They were told that the agency had connections with embassies, that their visas were guaranteed, and that everything was just a procedure.
Being a pastor, many people believed him. People sold their land and properties to secure jobs that never existed...Upto date since 2022,hakuna Kazi wamepatiwa.
With his connections, he was never arrested,he only recorded a statement. The families were never refunded their money. People went into depression, and some even committed suicide because they had used all their savings and sold everything for the promises they had been given.
The guy now wants to become the next Member of Parliament for Kabete.
People like Kalonzo are promising us change. But how will they bring change when they walk with thieves and have business dealings with them?
Kenyans should be very careful. People are lying to us here, claiming they are going to bring change, yet their only aim is to milk us dry.

KENYA 🇰🇪 HAS SYSTEMIC CORRUPTION.
But WHO is involved systemically?
Kenya’s corruption bill is bigger than its national health and basic education department budgets combined.
The World Bank launched its 34th Kenya Economic Update on 4 November 2026. It calls corruption systemic and estimates that corruption and collusion widen the annual deficit by 2 percentage points of GDP. At Kenya’s 2025 GDP, that’s roughly KSh352 BILLION in annual fiscal pressure from higher public costs and lost revenue.
Put that next to what Kenya approved for FY2025/26:
🏥 National health sector - KSh138.1 billion
📚 State Department for Basic Education - KSh127.9 billion
Together: KSh266 billion
The system works through closed tenders, preferential licences and deals for politically connected firms. The cost reaches people who never see those contracts. About 36% of surveyed firms reported a bribe request. Some informal workers can lose up to a fifth of a day’s earnings to bribes. Employment grew 4% in 2025, but 83.8% of jobs remained informal.
Banking controls matter too. In a separate 2018 case, the Central Bank assessed a KSh149.5 million penalty against KCB Bank Kenya after reviewing compliance on NYS-related transactions. It was one of five banks penalized. Kenya remains on FATF’s grey list, with more money-laundering investigations and prosecutions still called for.
Why do people put up with it? Nearly 79% of surveyed Kenyans believe reporting corruption risks retaliation. If refusing a bribe can cost you a day’s work and reporting it could bring trouble, keeping quiet can feel like the safest choice. That’s how a system can survive even when people oppose it.
What could Kenya look like if that changed? In the World Bank’s ambitious reform scenario, by 2035 the economy could be 22.3% larger and household consumption up to 27% higher than under the no-reform baseline, with more and better jobs for up to 7.7 million people.
Imagine what those changes would mean in daily life. A clinic gets the supplies it paid for. A business can compete for a public contract on merit. A rider keeps more of the money earned that day. And people can report a bribe without having to weigh the risk to their livelihood.
KSh6,500 for every person in Kenya. About KSh26,000 for a family of four.
That’s the per-person scale of the World Bank’s estimated annual fiscal hit from corruption and collusion. At Kenya’s 2025 GDP, it comes to roughly KSh352 BILLION. Nearly KSh1 billion a day.
Put that same amount toward any ONE of these:
🛣️ About 6,100 km of paved road upgrades
🏠 About 106,000 affordable flats
🩺 One year of basic pay for about 447,000 medical officers
👩⚕️ One year of basic pay for about 544,000 registered nurses
Those comparisons use Kenyan project costs and published public-sector basic pay estimates. The next time someone says “billions lost,” picture the road to your market, the staff at your clinic and what KSh26,000 would mean to a family of four.

But some people are involved on bank levels. And according to thomas ogutu it is @KCBInKenya ‘s dennis volemi, he also mentioned something with weapons and war in Sudan but I don’t remember correctly.
Volemi’s C level position as Director of Technology could definitely help systemically.
But ogutu lied in sworn affidavits in court, so I don’t trust his words.
Can journalists and investigators find out more?
Kenya could boost gross domestic product by more than a fifth within a decade and significantly reduce debt as a percentage of GDP if it tackles corruption, the World Bank said. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

How they used the long contract to steal and conceal massive theft of billions from the Bomas project;
♦️ A secret contract. 390 pages. Parliament has demanded it for months. The Ministry of Defence refused to table it. Now @StandardKenya has it.
♦️ The Bomas convention complex was approved at Sh31.7bn in 2023. It's now Sh45.1bn.
♦️ That's a Sh13bn jump. No ministry has publicly explained it.
♦️ Look at the "Add Sums":
✅3% for design: Sh856.8m
✅1% for security: Sh285.6m
✅5% provisional sum: Sh1.42bn
♦️ Total: Sh2.57bn. None of it is tied to steel, concrete or labour. Procurement experts call it a corruption allowance.
♦️ Then there's a flat Sh4.97bn for import taxes. No actual customs assessments.
♦️ Add Sh3.56bn for the presidential area fit-out. And Sh18.1m for termite prevention.
♦️ The Auditor-General says direct procurement was approved on Feb 17, 2025, while a tender process was still ongoing.
♦️ Kenyans have a right to know how their money is spent @EACCKenya
