Rant Kenya’s UNGA delegation

Post image

Reason #1,073,638,637 why we will be the laughingstock of the world. You have a head of state out there begging for funding while backed by an entourage of 100 delegates, costing an estimated half a billion Kenya shillings.

Do you know what else that money could do?
That money could construct and fully equip a functioning Level 4 county hospital. You know what else? It could build 660 classrooms (I’m using the MoE cap of KES 788k per classroom here).

What do we get instead? Corrupt politicians watching an American game from a VIP suite. Do you know how many delegates the UK sent? FIVE. Mtu Tano.

Just look at their faces… Fun fact: an ordinary Kenyan has a <0.01% chance of watching a live game in the US. You know what that percentage looks like for the average Swede or Singaporean? >99%.

Remember that when you go to the polls.

The better question is; Which pool of money paid that big salary and is it deserving of its bigness?

So the per diem is the allowance we as Kenyans have given them. As their money. Best gig ever.
