IT'S UNFORTUNATE.
At a time when millions of Kenyans are struggling with the high cost of living, job losses, and heavy taxation, the State House budget is set to more than double if Members of Parliament approve the revised estimates.
According to reports by Nation Media Group through the Daily Nation, an additional Sh8.4 billion has been proposed for State House Nairobi, pushing the total allocation from Sh7.7 billion to Sh16.1 billion for the 2025/26 financial year.
Breakdown of the proposed increases:
Total State House budget:
Sh7.7 Billion → Sh16.1 Billion
State House Nairobi operations:
Sh6 Billion → Sh14 Billion
Purchase of new vehicles:
Sh6.9 Million → Sh141 Million
Domestic travel:
Sh376 Million → Sh2 Billion
Hospitality expenses:
Sh338 Million → Sh1.6 Billion
Fuel costs:
Sh191 Million → Sh600 Million
Vehicle maintenance:
Sh136 Million → Sh530 Million
This proposed increase raises serious questions about government priorities at a time when ordinary citizens are being asked to tighten their belts and endure more taxes.

We are deeply concerned by emerging reports that after engineering internal turmoil within ODM through proxies, the President is now allegedly inviting Siaya County MCAs to State House next week to scheme against Governor James Orengo.

If this is true, it confirms what many Kenyans already fear that State House has been reduced from a symbol of national unity into a command center for political intimidation and opposition sabotage.

First it was the attempt to isolate and push out Edwin Sifuna using internal pressure and calculated political maneuvering. Now the focus appears to have shifted to Orengo a governor elected by the people of Siaya to serve their interests, not to seek permission from Nairobi.

Why is the President preoccupied with dismantling independent voices in regions that did not overwhelmingly support him? Why is national leadership being diverted into managing county-level political grudges?

Kenyans did not elect a president to micromanage opposition politics. They elected a president to lower the cost of living, fix healthcare, stabilize the economy, and create opportunity. Instead, we are witnessing a pattern of political interference designed to weaken critics and consolidate control.

This is not strength. It is insecurity.

A secure leader focuses on delivery. An insecure one focuses on domination.

If the strategy is to neutralize outspoken leaders one by one isolate them, intimidate them, fragment their support then it is a dangerous miscalculation. Kenya is not a personal empire to be administered through pressure and coercion. Counties are not political chess pieces. Elected leaders are not disposable obstacles.

The people of Siaya elected . That mandate does not belong to State House. It belongs to the voters.

The growing perception that national power is being used to punish dissent and reorganize opposition spaces should alarm every Kenyan regardless of political affiliation.
