Thursday, July 3, 2025 - Kenyans have been left questioning Government priorities after Deputy President Kithure Kindiki and several high-ranking officials landed in a poverty-stricken village in Tana River County using a fleet of 8 choppers, a move widely condemned as an outrageous waste of public funds.
In a video shared on social media, the deafening sounds of
the choppers are heard as they descend on a dusty, underdeveloped field
surrounded by mud-walled homes.
Residents, many of whom lack access to clean water, food,
and healthcare, watched in disbelief as the aerial entourage landed with a
heavy security presence.
The extravagant mode of transport has drawn sharp criticism
from Kenyans online.
“8 helicopters to visit a village where people fetch water
from rivers shared with animals? This is pure mockery,” wrote one user on X
(formerly Twitter).
“They should have used that money to build a school or drill
a borehole. This is not leadership, it’s theatre,” another posted.
Watch the video.
