Because of the HUGE CREDIBILITY/TRUST DEFICIT President William Ruto's government suffers from, many viable projects that can be financed through a TRANSPARENT and VERIFIABLE PPP process will not see the light of the day.
WHY? Because the people of Kenya simply don't trust their government to do the right thing with their monies and assets. President Ruto was sold the FALSE GOSPEL that he could build roads, dams, airports, schools, hospitals markets, etc, without building trust with the people by fixing what ails the country. He has elected/refused to undertake meaningful reforms that solidify institutions and ingrain good governance throughout the structures of the state ie...having a vibrant parliament, corruption free judiciary, independent police, anti-corruption strategies, asset recovery of goverment officials that steal from the state etc.
In other words,
H.E RUTO has put the cart before the horse. He wants to pursue an ambitious development agenda
in a corrupt and dysfunctional government. Mr. President, that is NOT POSSIBLE! President Ruto needs to urgently reappraise his strategies because the trajectory he is currently on will fail him and fail Kenya BIG TIME. He must fix the governance problems that are killing Kenya before he builds roads, dams, schools, etc. For example, how can Kenya move forward when you have a corrupt judiciary where judgment is given to those who bribe? How can Kenya move forward when the Supreme Court, the Apex court, is corrupt through and through and some judges are buying/building properties all over Kenya?
How can we move forward when parliament doesn't function and is a mere talking shop for the Leader of Majority? How can Kenya move forward when Governors, their deputies, are stealing all the monies allocated to counties and no action is taken?
How can Kenya move forward when those in government offices ie Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries, heads of parastatals steal daily, grow filthy rich, and go scot-free, enjoying their loot in dubai and lately in Istanbul and Cape Town. Despite these crippling/debilitating ills, President Ruto wants to create 20,000 for the youth to clean the Nairobi River!!! 🤣🤣🤣...it does work like that, Mr. President! With three years left before the next election, the right time is now for President
Ruto to address the elephant in the room and fix Kenya's GOVERNANCE problems and forget for the time being about the superficial and trivial issues of roads, dams, airports, sewage etc that is taking most of his time...Mr. President, development and bad governance/corruption can't co-exist in the same ecosystem.
