  1. Look, those the so called infrastructural development governments usually insists on are sources of corruptions. Its there they can have huge chunks of funds for future campaigns positioning. Find ways of Feeding people first, not to built expensive highways they cannot afford to drive on.

  2. That's a damn shame how to BBC is lying about how many people got killed in Kenya they say five people got killed that's a damn lie you cannot trust Western media for s***

  3. The Kenyan Govt spent billions just to buy furniture and furnishings for Parliament. How does the budget go from the requested amount 1.4 Billion to 11 Billion? Excessive spending and bribing MPs in order to vote the bill through as if the leadership is a cartel is the problem. They are using debt to fund their greed.

  4. they are complaining Kenya is very hard so now they are destroying the things they are doing worst thing's or good things now is that what I don't understand this problem is taking county backwards

  5. African leaders don't know anything about democracy. They are just there to loot,loot and loot. Yeah! Protest is part and parcel of democracy but it usually irks our leaders. Our parliamentarians in Africa are rubber stamps from Nigeria to the whole of Africa. That's why coup d'etat are resurfacing. Yes,our leaders usually amend the constitution to suit themselves and not the majority of the people and that's why their is so much suffering in our most endowed continent. Which makes Africa to look poor when it is enormously rich.

Liberman finally resigned in protest over Netanyahu's Hamas policy which, he said, marked "the first time Israel is funding terrorism against itself" … Netanyahu's education minister Naftali Bennett also denounced the payments, and also quit""

    "Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas"

    “I wrote a book in 1995, and I said that if the West doesn’t wake up to the suicidal nature of militant Islam, the next thing you will see is militant Islam bringing down the World Trade Center.”
