Hello This incident happened yesterday, so I watched the news at night and shockingly, its trending right now on some social media. This month is when the Kenyan government is preparing a budget to be spent till next year June, shockingly one of the elected leaders was being interrogated how he spent some money which did not appeared on his record He gave a shocking answer that he bought a chair worth 1.1 million Kenyan shillings and some other chairs half a million , so the total cost was 3million only for chairs This is very sad because the same area has issues with water and some disease not taken care of, where will greed take our leaders next?
