Twenty! And each one of them is pocketing KSh 1.8 million per month. And that is before allowances. Imagine, just imagine, twenty people taking 1.8 million every single month.
That is KSh 36 million per month just for advice. KSh 36 million! And where is the advice? Kenyans are hungry.
Kenyans are struggling to pay school fees, to buy food, to fix houses, to pay hospital bills. But here we have 20 people sitting in offices, collecting money like it is candy, and nobody can tell what they actually do.
Now the big question is, what are these people advising him on? What advice can be so important that it costs Kenyans KSh 36 million every month? Are they advising him on how to make the economy strong? No.
Are they advising him on how to create jobs so that young people don’t sit at home doing nothing or getting into trouble? No.
From where the normal Kenyan is standing, nobody sees advice. What we see is government money disappearing, money that could have helped hospitals, schools, roads, and businesses.
Maybe their advice is on how to sink the economy deeper into debt. Kenya is borrowing and borrowing and borrowing, and these advisors keep getting paid. Or maybe their advice is on how to raise more taxes on poor people while ordinary Kenyans are already struggling to survive.
Fuel goes up, electricity goes up, food goes up, everything goes up, yet these advisors collect big salaries.Or maybe their advice is on digital theft, like the eCitizen heist.
Millions went missing and nobody knows how to fix it, but advisors still get their paychecks. Or maybe their advice is on how to silence people who speak the truth, how to use police, DCI, and other state agencies to scare Kenyans.
From where people are standing, we don’t see advice. We see 20 people getting KSh 1.8 million every month doing nothing that benefits the country. We see money wasted while Kenyans suffer. That is the sad truth.
