Kenya's Deputy President Donates Ksh 100 Million: Questions of Transparency Arise Nairobi, Kenya – The Deputy President of Kenya has sparked debate after donating over Ksh 100 million to various groups within two months. This significant expenditure has raised concerns about transparency and accountability, particularly given the reported lack of funding for crucial areas such as student exam fees. The video, sourced from social media, highlights the large sums donated. For instance, Ksh 3 million went to Embu, Ksh 5 million to his entourage, and Ksh 16 million to the Kigumo constituency. The presenter states, "...100 million Kenyan shillings...in the past two months." This significant donation is juxtaposed with the lack of funds for exams, leading to widespread public concern. The video also shows donations made in Naivasha, highlighting the significant amount of money changing hands. The presenter asks pointed questions about the source of these funds and the processes involved, emphasizing the need for accountability from public figures. While the donations themselves may be seen as positive acts of empowerment, the lack of transparency and the contrast with the lack of funding for other essential services raise serious questions. This situation underscores the need for greater financial accountability and transparency in public life in Kenya.
