The person running Kalonzo Musyoka’s social media accounts got it extremely WRONG with the post appreciating Irene Kasalu for representing him at a requiem Mass.

Irene Kasalu representing Kalonzo Musyoka anywhere is perfectly fine. Publicly appreciating her is WRONG. Power politics strongly discourages that.

In power politics, senior leaders do NOT validate authority downward in public unless they are intentionally transferring political capital or signaling a shift. Otherwise, it weakens the perception of command and control.

Symbolism matters as much as authority. When a senior political figure publicly appreciates a junior leader for representing him anywhere, it immediately raises questions of optics, hierarchy, and power distance.

Such acknowledgements should be handled quietly through party channels. A public appreciation blurs the line between the principal and the delegate, unintentionally elevating the junior figure to a level of near parity in the public eye.

For anyone who doubts this, go and read The Anatomy of Power by John Kenneth Galbraith.

I will leave it at that.

I’m initiating a petition on Change.org to have Rigathi Gachagua allowed to visit State House and see its new look following the recent renovations.

He was among those who proposed these renovations. It is therefore only fair that he be allowed to pay a visit and see the outcome.

I hope you will support me by signing this petition.

AUDITOR-GENERAL FLAGS MAJOR IRREGULARITIES IN KITUI COUNTY ASSEMBLY EMPLOYEES’ CAR & MORTGAGE FUND

A report by the Auditor-General on the Kitui County Assembly Service Board Employees’ Car and Mortgage Fund Schemes for the year ended 30th June 2024 has raised serious concerns over loan management, compliance with the law, and protection of public funds.

Doubtful receivables

The financial statements reflect long-term receivables totalling Kshs.182.9 million. However, audit review revealed a mortgage loan of Kshs.5,016,843 issued in January 2019 to an employee whose services were terminated in March 2022. The officer had defaulted on repayments from November 2021, with accumulated arrears of Kshs.4,928,932 as at June 2022.

Despite this, management did not demonstrate any recovery measures, nor did it make provisions for doubtful debts. The Auditor-General could not confirm the recoverability of the Kshs.4.9 million.

Loans not fully secured

During the year under review, four mortgage loans amounting to Kshs.10,133,313 were disbursed. Audit findings show that the value of securities charged was lower than the loan amounts approved, contrary to the Fund’s Regulations. As a result, the effectiveness of recovery measures in case of default could not be confirmed.

Failure to pay rates, rents and insurance

Audit review further revealed that there was no proof that borrowers had paid land rates, rents, or insurance for the mortgaged properties. This is a direct violation of the Fund’s Regulations, which require borrowers to meet these obligations and submit evidence to the Board. Management was found to be in breach of the law.

Disbursement without interim certificates

The report also highlights that Kshs.8.9 million in respect of three loans was disbursed without interim certificates to confirm progress of construction. This goes against regulations requiring subsequent disbursements to be based on certified stages of development by a qualified architect. Once again, management was found to be in breach of the law.

The Auditor-General’s report paints a worrying picture of weak controls, poor compliance, and exposure of public funds to potential loss within the Kitui County Assembly Service Board Employees’ Car and Mortgage Fund Schemes.

When Wiper nominated MCA Jacqueline Kalenga and five other nominated MCAs in the Kitui County Assembly openly defied the Wiper Party and aligned themselves with the Kenya Kwanza administration, the party attempted to expel them and formally wrote letters to that effect.

But do you know what happened next?

Kitui East MP Ni**od Mbai immediately issued a public statement defending the MCAs and issued a clear warning to the Wiper Party that he would not allow their expulsion under his watch.

From that moment, everything went quiet. The expulsion threats cooled off, and the matter died a natural death.

To date, all the MCAs remain Wiper-nominated MCAs, comfortably serving and earning their salaries.

These are facts. They are verifiable and firmly in the public domain. Ni**od Mbai’s statement was the last official word we heard regarding the matter.

I will leave it at that.

Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has given the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) seven days to investigate the death of singer Betty Bayo and submit a report to his office.

As part of the renewed probe, Betty Bayo’s body will be exhumed to allow a proper post-mortem examination to establish the exact cause of death.

The move follows concerns raised by Betty Bayo’s mother, who questioned the circumstances surrounding her daughter’s death and formally requested the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) to open an inquest into the matter.

Another good afternoon to remind you that Jacqueline Kalenga, alongside five other Wiper Party, nominated MCAs in the Kitui County Assembly, openly defied the Wiper Party and its leadership, and openly went to bed with the Kenya Kwanza administration, and nothing happened to them.

To date, they remain Wiper nominated MCAs, comfortably serving and earning their peanuts just like other MCAs across the country.

I will leave it at that.
