Uhuru at Kongowea: Mslipe Kodi Hadi Mtakapopata Huduma

The President has directed that traders at Kongowea Market should not pay rates until they get services from the County Government…

On this, I disagree with him. This is undermining the County Government… Just my opinion… and you know what they say about opinions.

I wonder what would happen if the same rules were applied to the National Government.

Ati kiunjuri amesema nini?
#stolen but if true interesting times awaits
As a kalenjin and supporter of William Ruto, how do you feel when Kikuyus around Uhuru Kenyatta ask him to suspend the constitution?

Have you considered what that means to the lie that Uhuru has been telling Ruto over the last five years that they will support him in 2022?

My friends, you ought to wake up. Uhuru doesn’t want Ruto as president in 2022. Succinctly put, Uhuru has no intention of stepping down from the presidency in 2022.

If in doubt, how do you interpret such statements of Uhuru’s right hand man, Kiunjuri :

"Like Germany, Kenyans should be allowed to elect performing presidents like Uhuru without the restriction of term limits.

Uhuru should be stopped from vying for the presidency simply by term limits. Let Kenyans decide at the ballots, but any Kenyan must be free to vie for the presidency as long as they want and not stopped by term limits."

You are creating a monster that will consume the Kalenjin people if not stopped. We will do our part to stop Uhuru, but be warned that in the Republic of Central Kenya that you will share with Uhuru Kenyatta will work badly against you.

He has said if Joho waits for NYS to come in and clean up the ‘national government built’ market, then it is a free service of which the county government has no business charging for.
Watu waheshimiane.
The place is cholera hq.

When will you learn that propaganda and inventing quotes to make Jubilee look bad failed on 8/8?
The other day I saw on Facebook the same quote attributed to Sabina.
The game is over my fren.

I thought Weston was cholera Hq?

Tena ni Kiunjuri. Pale Twitter nimeona the same message but wanasema ni Murkomen amesema mambo ya terms. Warris this?

True, Kongowea market is predominantly Meru and Mt. Kenya traders supplying fresh produce to Mombasa. Since shosholite hoho knows he has no support there, he doesn’t collect garbage or provide any services despite charging for its use. When it gets worse NYS is called to collect garbage. Last year Eastleigh’s traders conducted the same protest and they finally had their streets cleaned. Same thing here, if you charge traders for use then providing services is mandatory whether you like them or not.

vita ya kongowea hoho hatawezana, wabara ndio wanafeed mombasa itabidi atii

Weston is clean. It is the produce coming from dirty markets like Kongowea that carry the bacteria.

Looks like creating chaos.

Interesting

Umbuzi.

Joho nowadays is not appearing in Uhuru’s mikutano cha nguvu

You must be very myopic to buy such nonsense. Nyumba will vote for Ruto. It’s about blood and honour. A few misguided power hungry ‘elites’ are bent on spinning the narrative. But the wanjikus on the ground are now fondly referring to mashamba as muthoniwa.

Or organizing parallel events.

@Kennedy Maina you are going far, @Soprano started with a sentence now he puts up threads. You have potential but you should know the higher you go the loud the bang if you happen to crumble

This is what The President actually said:

Only pay services offered to you, President tells Kongowea traders
MOMBASA COUNTY, October 9th, 2017 (PSCU)—President Uhuru Kenyatta has told traders at Mombasa’s Kongowea market to only pay for services offered to them.

The President said the new market was built by the national government at a cost of Shs 500million and that the National Youth Service will from next week embark on cleaning of the market.

Addressing traders at Kongowea on Monday, the Head of State said there was no need for the county government to continue taxing the traders and yet it doesn’t provide services to them.

“There is no need for the county government to continue taxing the traders and yet they do not provide the services they have paid for,” said Mr Kenyatta.

He said the Government has launched investigations to establish claims that traders at the Kongowea market were not being served despite paying taxes.

He said the national government would not hesitate to take action against those who failed to deliver.

“We cannot allow the people to suffer in the hands of some few individuals. Wananchi should only pay for services offered to them,” said President Kenyatta.

He warned police against harassing wananchi if they don’t pay for the services not offered.

The President and Deputy President William Ruto, at the same time, told opposition candidate Raila Odinga that Kenyans will go to the polls on October 26 whether he participates or not.

The leaders said the Opposition leaders were scared of the elections because they have sensed defeat, saying they were scheming to have the elections delayed in another three months for their selfish gains.

They said the Opposition was bent on inciting Kenyans through demonstrations to cause confusion with the hope of getting into power through the backdoor.

“We know their games and we have said enough is enough. There will be no postponement. Mr Odinga should retire and honourably go home,” said the Deputy President.

President Kenyatta and DP Ruto told Mr Odinga to retire from politics if he was not ready to participate in the October 26 polls.

Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala (Tourism), Governor Mike Sonko (Nairobi), Nyali MP Mohammed Ali, among others, also spoke at the meeting.

The Deputy President said Opposition leader was now opposed to the elections because he knows that he will win.
President Kenyatta said Jubilee was ready and prepared to face the Opposition at the ballot and will not allow any attempts to have the elections postponed.

“The Opposition should stop sideshows and prepare for the next elections. Kenyans want to move away from elections to concentrate on development activities,” said President Kenyatta.

DP Ruto said the mass exodus of Kenyans who supported Nasa during the August 8 elections has shaken the Opposition and that’s why they want to interfere with the elections.

“We are tired of their rhetoric and stories and the country wants to move on. We must conclude elections on October 26. If those in Opposition are not ready, they should retire from politics,” said DP Ruto.

He added: “There is exodus of Kenyans from Nasa because they are tired of their empty rhetoric and want to support Jubilee which is committed to improving their lives.”

Mr Balala and Mr Sonko urged residents in coastal region to turn out in large numbers and support the reelection of President Kenyatta.

“It is time for us to move away from politics of propaganda and support Jubilee that is committed to improving our lives,” said Mr Sonko.

We have heard here from Mombasa residents that Joho’s askaris extort money from traders daily for the most ridiculous reasons, yet the City’s garbage and water problems are never addressed. Why should people be made to pay in a market that was built with national funds?

Na ya karatina 10 years na haijawai maliza kujengwa bona hamteti?

According to the constitution, one of the obligations of a citizen is to pay taxes. So, we can actually argue that UK has - in making that declaration - violated the constitution. It is true that it is not right to pay taxes when there are no commensurate services; however, the constitution has a very clear definition on how such shortcomings are supposed to be addressed.

whatever is collected by the counties are not taxes but levies
