Wueh.

Since I moved out of Nairobi to forestall economic adversity as I left formal employment, I haven't been very deep in ward politics.

Now, my village ward, like my Nairobi Ward has a Telegram group to communicate with villagers on matters county budget. Ehe.
The Sunday sermon on the village Ward Telegram group has been scattered.

Someone has asked why we are discussing new budget allocations when there's no clear score card on the ground for the previously allocated budget.

Haya. MCA had promised to account by last Friday...
Since I am new here, I have decided to spectate for now.

I only chimed in last week to suggest we ensure roads have pedestrian infrastructure that takes into account persons with disability.

The MCA "noted".
Then MCA has refused to heed several reminders that he had promised to account for the previous ward allocation of 45 million by Friday last week.

Mtu hapo amesema, we need to elect someone with more "stamina to respond on this platform... who will be accountable".
This morning someone said:

"I think it has to do with leadership failure."

Mwingine:
"Question about previous allocations go unanswered and someone wants more resources."

2022 yova!
I like this place.
After a week of relentless calls to account for previous budget, the MCA has taken to blocking certain people from posting on the group. I was wondering why it had gone silent for the last three days when this morning two people side barred me asking me to post somthing on this.
Brothers and sisters #SundaySermon was read to the MCA.

Nimemwambia his silencing people on the group set up for them to give their opinions on budget is a "damning indictment on his leadership".

Acha tuone how it goes.
This is how it's about to go down this ward.

About to read somebody. I've asked anyone who has found they cannot post on the group to side bar me I highlight it. https://twitter.com/ava/status/1274444995706028032?s=19
Eh!

Watu wameamka. Na nikama niliwasha moto chino us kiti cha MCA 😬

Engineer f'lani: Seems the objective of this forum was to meet the budget requirement for the next financial year. We may not expect our queries to be answered ...
Mwingine:... I propose we as residents... petition the county not to allocate more resources and ... petition Anti corruption body to investigate previous allocations and usage.

baaas! @EACCKenya
