Friday, May 23, 2025 - Below is the full post by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua raising the alarm over the current state of the nation.
According to Gachagua, key sectors, including education and
health, are almost collapsing.
There
is no money for capitation in our schools, and our principals are being treated
to a game of musical chairs by the government. Listening to them, the situation
is dire; they are torn between letting auctioneers into schools over unpaid
bills or sending students and pupils homes for levies.
Our
hospitals are a shell of what has been left after failed healthcare systems and
fake promises from the government. Besides their payslips being slashed,
government workers are crying under zero facilitations and delayed salaries.
Contractors
and suppliers are being auctioned for non payment of pending bills! The little
money available from payment of taxes has been diverted through the security
agencies to bribe women and Boda boda operators and finance the 2027 campaign
and pay goons to disrupt meetings of those advocating for regime change.
Our
musicians and creative artists, too, are being bribed to go out and sell that
which cannot be bought. Sad at it is, Kenyans are encouraged to ‘eat’ the money
but not surrender their souls. Where I come from, it is agreed that “we shall
never bury the elephant with its tusks”.
Please continue plucking the tusks before we bury the
elephant. However, history, just like truth, cannot be buried or wished away.
We must remind those hawking money in bags what the famous Kshs. 500 notes did
to our economy and our nation in 1992. Kenyans are still paying the price over
3 decades later. Be vigilant, dear Kenyans.
