@DavidNdii
is a public officer whose office is financed by Kenyan taxpayers. Yet he spends half his time insulting & speaking to them in a grossly insensitive way. We’ve built a website that records his horrific conduct in a story style:

Personal notes from the election:
- I genuinely believe William Ruto is a dangerous man but he’s won & it is what it is. I think he has good economic plans but I have an awful feeling about the fate of human rights & freedom under his presidency. Benefit of doubt, I suppose.

Repeat after me for the millionth time: A country is not a company
Moses Kuria is a super sharp guy.

Left for the Gulf where he made his bones as a banker and ended up being COO at a big technology firm there.

Outside looting public resources, the thing I detest most about politicians is their ability to stand before people and just lie knowingly. If we reflect on it carefully, it’s insane behavior.
