Extravagance or Economy? When Muthaiga Is Not Enough

President is allocated cash in the national Budget to build a(nother) home. Will this KSHS 100 million project increase the President's productivity? Will we see the returns of this hard-earned and reluctantly-given tax-payer money?

"Plans to build the new house for the President became public only yesterday because when Finance minister David Mwiraria tabled estimates of the Government's spending last June, all the money was lumped together under one total figure, with no breakdown given. ... Sh1.28 billion would be spent on development, like new houses – including that for the President. "

The floor is open...

well, am back, and your most recent invitation for change reminded me that For me and my family, no vote for a party and org that doesnt have its priorities straight. 2007, i hope in some small way to say - enough is enough.
