SOS....kweli ni Bure Kabisa!

WARAKA KWA RAIS UHURU,
Kuna wakati ambapo jina lako lingelitajwa na yeyote katika miaka ya 90-2000, ambapo nilimuona Moi:rais wa pili wa Kenya ambaye atakumbukwa kwa ustadi na mbinu zake kambambe za kuwa na wanafunzi(wakiwemo wanao) wengi waliohitimu na shahada za: Uporaji wa Mali Umma, Opokeaji Teke wa Asalimia Kumi katika miradi mikubwa ya Serikali, Usambarazikaji wa mashirika yote ya umma na watu wa kabila lake la Kalenjin, kuwapa mamlaka na madaraka watu wa kabila la Wakalenjin bila ujuzi wowote, kuajili watu kutoka kabila la Wakalenjin zaidi ya mara dufu katika mashirika ya umma, kunyakua mashamba na mifugo ya mashirika ya umma ya utafiti, kuwatimua Wakenya kutoka makabila mengine walioishi maeneo ya KANU, na maovu mengine ya kijamii.
Hotuba yako leo, ambayo niliingojeaa kwa hamu na ghamu, haikutaja hatua yoyote unayokusudia kufanya kuwafuta kazi wezi wa mali ya umma ambao wamekuzingila wewe. Kuanzia leo acha katakata kutuonyesha hasira za mkizi huku ukituhumu mwizi yeyote. Hasira utuonyeshao ni kiburi tu, ukiwa na nia ya kuwafumba macho Wakenya ambao wana uchungu wa mali yao inayoibiwa kila kukesha. Je,unajua ni kwa nini kiwango cha kukusanya kodi kimo chini? Hebu jijibu mwenyewe. Lakini kumbuka kwamba katu zitoi hela yangu na badala ya imfaidi Mkenya, ndio hio inaporwa mtana mtana na mawaziri wako, wabunge, wasimamizi wa mashirika ya umma, na viongozi baki-kapuku, waliojawa na mihimili ya uovu. Kutofanya lolote kwao, kutosema lolote kwao, kutochukua hatua yoyote kwao, ni kuhalalisha waendelee kupokea kisicho chao...kilicho chetu. Kwani wewe wamuogopa nani?Kwani wewe wawaogopa kina nani? Uhuru tafadhari nisikize kwa makini: ukilegea katika vita hivi dhidi ya ufisadi, usipoweza kuhamasisha vita hivi dhidi ya wenzako wanaokuzingira, historia itakufata hadi vizazivyako. Endelea tu kuwaruhusu wabunge na wezi wengine kushibisha matumbo yao kupitia migongo ya wagonjwa mahututi na wanaofariki kwa njaa katika maeneo kadhaa nchini. Katika hafla ya leo, wabunge nguruwe waliokuwa wanabwata bwata miguu ya sio waadilifu kwako na kwa taifa. Posho yao ni ufisadi ulionjengewa sheria ili isionekane kuwa ni ufisadi. Kumbuka wananchi wako nyuma katika vita hivi, na itafika wakati ambapo itawabidi wachukue sheria mikononi mwao hivi karibuni. Itumikie umma bila uoga. Kujifanya kasuku kuwakejeli wezi hawa hakutufai sisi. Wakenya walilauka mapema mara ya kwanza na ya pili kukuchagua wewe, ili ulinde mali yao kwa udi na uvumba. Je, Rais Uhuru, uko nasi au na wao?

So KRA was not taxing the super rich? They were waiting for instruction from him. KRA has been increasing taxes on kerosene to balance the budget while the super rich were being ignored by KRA.
This is the worst president ever no wonder his mum will not let him get anywhere near the family companies. With this level of thinking he would be a family business disaster the way he is a country economy disaster.

With all these scandals and corruption the remedy is to widen the tax net to catch more Kenyans? No problem with more people paying taxes or state borrowing for infrastructure; but not when the pipeline is leaking from all directions. Was hoping for a "drain the swamp" kind of message. My take from the speech is that we are looking for ways to "flood the swamp" so as to appease the crocodiles of corruption and impunity. Another day has gone-by without slaying the dragon. Reminded of the "Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow-Macbeth"
