Judy,
It is Raila who instructed Uhuru to put up only 28 million shillings to fight terrorism and to give Margaret Kenyatta 104 million for her use at State House.
Raila is a very bad man.
Courage

Wuodi,
You have spoken well. I believe the Government of the day meant business
when they wrote their manifestos. I also agree that they found the house
in a mess and with little or no money to work with. But they should earn
our trust and as well, we shall push the opposition to behave themselves
and support the Gava of the day. After all, it is their mess why we are
stuck in the mud. We have to fix what needs fixing and move forward.
You need to drag akina Tony Gachoka into these forums as well. It is our
burden and we all must see how best we can mend the bends and correct the
spoils.

Judy:
Once
again I concur with your sentiments. How on earth is HE
President Mig. Uhuru Kenyatta ordering the payment of Anglo
leasing ghosts when budgetary allocation to our security
instruments ( read security infrastructure) is not only
miniscule ( read 28 Million Versus (vs) 1.4 Billion KES
{read Kenya Shillings) but is not reflected as the priority
of his country to do list? Why?? Does this government has
its priority right or just chest thumping like the
opposition before it? Does
this government understand that it is time to govern not to
engage in partisan politics given the fact that they rightly
in place because the got the overwhelming mandate of the
people to govern?
But
on a more important not and to be truly frank with all, we
need to support the government of the day to accomplish its
mission. The parties in power convinced the electorate that
their way was the best for all Kenyans and they won the
election. The whole country should rally behind them so they
implement their manifesto which should be for the benefit of
all. Omiyo if they fall sort, come 2017, they will be a
gonna in real
politics. Omiyo let us give the government of the day the
peace of mind to undo mistake that they have made and to
move in the direction that empowers everybody.
Omiyo
crying that one leader who consistently cry that election
was stolen from him will never be the gauge of a political
mainstreaming to move our country forward. If he has a heart
for our folks, let him and his party challenge the
government of the day on promise made to better the lives of
our country men and equally demonstrate what they would do
differently.
Wuodi.

Good People,
Who is to blame if security is left wanting, and why would
the
Treasury cut security budget? Can that explain the
present
security problem??? Would they blame foreign partners
for not
honoring their trust and withdrawing their foreign citizenry
for lack of security, when in actual sense, funds for
security
were already provided and was not properly and responsibly
utilized?
Because the security is so bad, the Treasury has some
explaining
to do people !!!

Treasury blamed for cutting security budget despite rising
terror attacks
By ALPHONCE SHIUNDU

story: By ALPHONCE SHIUNDU
Kenya; Top security chiefs on Monday turned the heat
on the National Treasury over Sh63.6 billion shortfall in
their budget.
This comes at a time when security threats in the country
are at an all-time high. The security chiefs said they had
submitted a budget of Sh146.8 billion, but the National
Treasury had cut it to Sh83.2 billion.
Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Ole Lenku, Principal
Secretary Mutea Iringo and Inspector General of Police David
Kimaiyo trooped to Continental House and told MPs that
efforts in fighting crime had floundered and the situation
was likely to get worse
because of budget cuts.
The trio at the helm of the country's security machinery
said they put in requests for more money, but every time
their budgets are submitted, the National Treasury reduces
the allocations.
They said about 400 vehicles in the ministry are grounded.

discipline
Lenku, Kimaiyo, plus Director of Immigration Jane Waikenda,
together with the directors in charge of registration and
disaster management, all complained that they are
understaffed, underfunded and unlikely to deliver what they
are expected to do.
"We badly need your intervention to see how we can fill
this gap of gross underfunding," said Lenku.
Fuel cost cut
Lenku and Kimaiyo joined the Chief Finance Officer at the
State Department of Interior in telling the House committee
on Administration and National Security how the National
Treasury had cut the money for
fuel from Sh2.2 billion to Sh586 million.
The 290 sub-counties (constituencies) have an allocation of
Sh97.6 million for fuel. "This translates to Sh921.20 per
sub-county per day. At the prevailing average rate of Sh120
per litre of fuel, this amount can only provide seven litres
per day for use by the deputy county commissioners and
assistant county commissioners," the trio told the
parliamentary committee.
They added that the allocation of Sh143 million to the
divisional headquarters means that the 1,200 vehicles in the
police posts, stations and divisions will have to make do
with just two litres of fuel a day.
"This is grossly inadequate," the security bosses noted
in their brief that is poised for the Budget and
Appropriations Committee, which will have the final say on
the budget.
Kimaiyo was angry that the National Treasury had reduced
money that had been agreed in the Cabinet retreat in
Nanyuki.
The
National Authority for the Campaign against Drug Abuse
—the body mandated to fight illicit alcohol —is also in
the red.
Waikenda said she needed Sh700 million for tamper-proof
passports, but her request was denied. She said she wanted
to hire 600 new employees, but the National Treasury gave
Sh50 million for 100 new staff.
She also said she wanted Sh150 million for a system to track
foreigners, but the Treasury mandarins rejected the whole
idea.
The MPs were livid. They in turn harassed the official of
the National Treasury, senior assistant Director of Budget
Kasembeli Nasiuma, and told him to explain why money was not
available when the country is under siege.

discipline
Within means
Nasiuma told the MPs that the budget resources were finite.
"We must live within our means as a country. We cannot
just print money. If in the wisdom of Parliament,
our distribution of resources is not good enough, we'll
be guided with the position that you (MPs) take, just as we
have done before," said Nasiuma.
He reminded MPs that the budget-making process was now in
the domain of the Legislature, and that the National
Treasury's job was to bake the cake, and share it with the
47 county governments, the independent commissions, the
Legislature, the Judiciary and the Executive.
"We'll be guided by members of the August House on how
to rework the figures. Whatever you say will be final,"
Nasiuma told the MPs, as Lenku, Iringo and Kimaiyo looked
on, shaking their heads.
Dalmas Otieno (Rongo) was rattled. "Parliament does not
set the ceilings. You people at the National Treasury do.
The security sector has been underfunded to a point where we
now have a disaster."
