Former Kenya Civil Servants Union Secretary General Dr. Isaac Newton Kinity has come out strongly to defend US President Donald Trump’s move to freeze all money sent to Kenya
Dr. Kinity who is a member of the US Presidential Advisory board says Trump is very much inorder owing to the fact that most African Countries have failed to address corruption.
In latest press release, Dr. Kinity revealed that for instance the grants given to Kenya every year are much more than the loans borrowed.
“Do Kenyans know that the grants given to Kenya every year are much more than the loans borrowed?,” stated Kinity.
He pointed out that corruption has remained a challenge in Kenya.
Dr. Kinity- a strong advocate of good governance wondered how Kenya can be independent from borrowing loans when the leaders loot all the taxes collected.
According to him, leaders have continued to loot from taxes collected from the citizens which end up in personal banks abroad.
“All the trillions of taxes collected from the citizens are looted and banked in personal bank accounts abroad belonging to the Kenyan leaders. All the grants that are often much more than the amounts of loans borrowed are banked abroad into the same personal bank accounts belonging to the Kenyan leaders. Just because the grants are never paid back, they are always silently and secretly looted without the citizens’ knowledge,” he revealed.
He slammed Kenyan Lawmakers for not being true to Kenyans.
According to him, No legislator ever mentions the grants given to Kenya any time, and no legislator has ever explained to the citizens of Kenya the amounts of grants given to Kenya every year.
This, he says is the money looted without any challenges because it is free money given to Kenya.
“Today, most Kenyan legislators are richer than other legislators in the developed nations because of the money they loot every day,” he stated.
Dr. Kinity lauded Trump’s move to Freeze all money given to Kenya terming it the best option in order to contain the looting of the public funds which has cost many challengers of corruption their lives and many others who were forced into exile after their lives were threatened because of challenging corruption in Kenya.
He added that now that there is no more money to loot, it is time to manage the taxes collected in an honest and transparent manner.
The good governance advocate noted that the looting of public funds in Kenya has not only subjected the ordinary Kenya citizens into abject suffering, torture, and agony but also the Kenya Army personnel who have been some of the most poorly paid workers in Kenya and who were strangely denied lunches a week ago, which they have had since the colonial days.
