For Every Ksh 1 Stolen By The Kenya Kwanza Government, 1 Kenyan Dies

There is no better way to describe the Kenya Kwanza government than as a slaughterhouse that disguises itself as a democracy. Every coin stolen, every tender inflated, every public fund diverted into private pockets is not just an economic crime—it is an act of manslaughter. The culprits wear suits, but their hands are stained with blood, the blood of the sick, the hungry, the unemployed, and the hopeless.

For every 1 KES that is stolen, a Kenyan dies because they couldn’t access the medicine they desperately needed. Hospitals run on empty promises, their shelves as barren as the government’s conscience. The sick do not recover on slogans, nor do they survive on empty rhetoric. But of course, the Kenya Kwanza cartel ensures their foreign medical checkups are paid for—why suffer the consequences of their own theft?

For every 1 KES that is stolen, a Kenyan dies in a road accident because the funds meant for road maintenance were looted. The roads, like government policies, are full of potholes. Vehicles overturn, pedestrians are run over, and entire families perish because the tarmac meant to cushion their journey was turned into someone’s wallet.

For every 1 KES that is stolen, a Kenyan eats poisonous maize because KEBS officials were bribed to approve toxic imports. Farmers are bankrupted, consumers are poisoned, and the cycle of death continues. The Kenya Kwanza government thrives in the marketplace of misery, where even food—our most basic right—is an avenue for theft and death.

For every 1 KES that is stolen, a Kenyan is killed by thugs because the police lack resources. The government ate the budget meant for police patrols, equipment, and welfare. But who needs security when the looters have bodyguards? The common mwananchi? Let them die; after all, funerals provide another opportunity for political grandstanding.

For every 1 KES that is stolen, a supplier to the government collapses from stress, depression, and bankruptcy. Businesses wither and families are thrown into turmoil as invoices remain unpaid for years. The money? Eaten. The people? Forgotten. The economy? Ruined.

For every 1 KES that is stolen, a child dies of malnutrition because the money meant for school feeding programs was redirected into a minister’s offshore account. The leaders’ children dine in five-star hotels while Kenyan children scavenge for survival, their dreams cut short before they even begin.

For every 1 KES that is stolen, a woman in labor dies in a hospital corridor because there are no doctors, no equipment, and no medicine. But Ruto and his cronies have VIP medical services, ensuring that not a single one of them ever experiences the pain they inflict on Kenyans.

For every 1 KES that is stolen, a farmer is buried under the weight of debts because the subsidies meant to support them were pocketed by corrupt officials. Agriculture—the backbone of the economy—is deliberately weakened so that import cartels, owned by the ruling elite, can profit from overpriced foreign products.

For every 1 KES that is stolen, a Kenyan child drops out of school because the government ‘lost’ money meant for bursaries. Education is no longer a right, it is a privilege for those whose parents are either thieves or sycophants of the regime.

For every 1 KES that is stolen, a Kenyan entrepreneur shuts down their business because corruption suffocates innovation. Bribes, licenses, and bureaucracy are barriers designed to ensure that only the politically connected can thrive.

For every 1 KES that is stolen, another illegal gun finds its way into the hands of criminals, ensuring that blood continues to flow in the streets. The government eats money meant for security and leaves the people defenseless, waiting to become statistics.

For every 1 KES that is stolen, a bright young mind is wasted because the higher education system is in ruins. Universities are underfunded, lecturers go unpaid, and students are forced into crime or despair. But the political class? Their children study abroad, shielded from the collapse they engineered.

For every 1 KES that is stolen, a public housing project stalls, and more Kenyans are condemned to homelessness. The only houses being built are the mansions of the corrupt, towering over the slums they claim to care about.

For every 1 KES that is stolen, a drug addict sinks deeper into their abyss because the money meant for rehabilitation centers disappeared. Meanwhile, the government officials toast to their success, oblivious to the lives they destroy.

Kenya’s Constitution and legal framework make it clear that corruption is not just a moral failing—it is a criminal offense. Article 10 of the Constitution demands integrity, transparency, and accountability in governance. Yet, under Ruto’s watch, these principles have been thrown out the window, replaced by open plunder and systematic looting. The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) is rendered powerless as those it should be investigating sit at the highest tables of power.

Chapter Six of the Constitution explicitly states that leaders must exhibit integrity and serve the public good. Ruto, as the head of state, is constitutionally bound to uphold these values. Instead, he presides over a kleptocracy where corruption is not just tolerated—it is rewarded. His government has failed to prosecute key figures involved in multi-billion scandals, and in some cases, he has even appointed them to higher offices.

The Penal Code of Kenya criminalizes theft, fraud, and abuse of office. If the law were applied as it should be, Ruto and his cronies would be in court answering for the billions siphoned from public coffers. The International Criminal Court (ICC) has prosecuted leaders for crimes against humanity; is state-engineered economic destruction and mass suffering not a crime against humanity?

Ruto must be held accountable not just in political rhetoric but in legal action. Impeachment proceedings, judicial investigations, and international scrutiny are necessary steps toward justice. Every Kenyan who has lost their life, business, health, or future because of corruption deserves more than empty speeches. They deserve justice, and justice demands that those responsible pay for their crimes.
