Arrest orders issued for Mandago and two others as political backlash lingers

Senator Jackson Mandago of Uasin Gishu, along with two other county officials, is now being sought by the police over the controversial Finland Canada scholarship scam. The Director of Public Prosecution's Office has just this morning (August 16th) approved their prosecution. 

This comes after almost two weeks of hesitancy and double-speak by authorities and investigating officials who claimed that they were still doing some rigorous investigations into the alleged misuse of funds. Close observers, including this analyst however pointed out to the huge possible political impact of prosecuting the powerful Nandi community politician.

Mandago and the officials have so far today evaded the police, despite being reportedly present at the Devolution Conference in Eldoret town. 

The three are to be charged with conspiracy to commit felony, theft, and abuse of office. 

Mandago is also under scrutiny by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) detectives. 

He was interrogated by the EACC on August 1 regarding the same issue as part of a separate probe by the anti-corruption agency. 

The EACC is investigating allegations of the misappropriation of over Sh837 million from the Uasin Gishu County government's scholarship fund. 

The Uasin Gishu Education Trust Fund account, established in May 2021, had received Sh957,167,143 in contributions from parents by December 2022. 

Sh257,326,740 was removed from the account to support beneficiaries' travel to Finland and Canada for programs. 

The EACC is examining Sh57,538,429 withdrawn locally by county officials in charge of the fund. 

Protests have been ongoing in Eldoret Town over the issue, with participants demanding a refund. 

Mandago has denied the allegations and called on his successor, Bii, to accept county leadership responsibility. However, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has issued an arrest warrant for the former Uasin Gishu governor, along with two others, in connection with the Finland and Canada airlift programme.

There is looming doom in Kenya  which very few people seem to see  and even more people are determined  to behave like the African ostrich  believing that if they bury their heads  in the sand,  the fire which can be seen at a distance  will never reach them will never touch  them. Leading lights in Kenya kwanza are going about their lives, throwing money around (even making new investments) oblivious of the very serious problem we have in the country. Is it possible that they cannot even see how perilously the country in their hands hangs, with the future never this unpredictable? Most Kenyans are also in the dark and have no idea what danger is being talked about. And this is mainly because very few people  actually understand  what the office of the presidency is all  about. How would anybody even begin to understand  why Kenya is in the problem she is in  right now, if they have no inkling of what the presidency is about? ---- He Was Broke And Turned Around A Crisis To Get Quick Ca

Ruto's Ruthless 2017 plan almost finished Uhuru: Will the same Ruto tactics finish Ruto in 2023?

2017 was just the other day, but most Kenyans have forgotten how Uhuru was almost forced out of power and why it happened and what ended up saving his presidency. Kenyans have a very short political memory but the facts are that then President Uhuru Kenyatta ended up with no viable options in 2018. And the scary thing here is that is exactly what may be happening to Ruto today, even as he remains unaware of it. --- Multi Millionaire Caught Working As Street Cleaner 6 days a week --- In 2017, the political landscape in Kenya witnessed a series of brutal tactics employed by Deputy President William Ruto and his allies within the Jubilee party (on behalf of the Jubilee party ticket for the presidency). These tactics were aimed at dismantling the opposition and securing power for themselves. The consequences of these actions were so severe that they almost resulted in the removal of President Uhuru Kenyatta from power. Ruto's involvement in these brutal tactics was evident as he pla

Shock as Ruto restores price subsidies: Chris Kumekucha analyzes

President William Ruto has been very clear that his government will never go back to "Uhuru's subsidies". So what exactly happened here with fuel prices?   Unexpected Turn of Events   Just when everyone was bracing for an exponential surge in fuel prices, President William Ruto's regime very suddenly made an unexpected move. His decision to restore price subsidies has left many in shock, yet with a sigh of relief. This policy shift is undoubtedly a significant game-changer in the Kenyan economic landscape, primarily affecting the standard of living because it gives at least some little reprieve and "room to breathe."  Ruto's unexpected subsidy was applied to the latest fuel prices announced by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) on August 14, 2023. EPRA retained fuel prices at Ksh194.68 for Super, Ksh179.67 for Diesel and Ksh169.48 for Kerosene. The prices had been expected to shoot to a new high (crossing the Kshs 200 mark per litre of
