BREAKING: DP Ruto OPENS Mud houses for Garsen Police that COST Sh13 million ‘EUROBOND’ money

121 Comments

The Deputy President William Ruto visited Garsen early on Saturday morning to officially open new staff houses built by the local CDF Kitty.

The houses are part of the grand Jubilee infrastructure upgrade that was financed by the EuroBond cash (Devolution ministry already indicated it cannot account for sh45billion but later said the cash was disbursed to CDF kitty).

According to reports, the houses cost a staggering 13 million.

DP Ruto has told Kenyans that no money was lost in the Eurobond issue and perhaps the opening of these new units is part of the plan to showcase how the billions were spent.building is worth the alleged Ksh 13 million

The DP also opened a new office block for the station (see photos below). The question most Kenyans may ask is if the

Whereas it is hard to give an expected exact cost estimate for mud house construction, they still remains to be the locally available option for low cost housing solution for poor communities.

Technically, the only purchases would be the roofing sheets, doors and windows.

The trees used for studs are normally premature trees or tree branches whose cost can be negotiated or available for free in local bushes and forests.

The mud in itself is simply dug from around the building area and mixed with water. But again, politically correct or not, the buildings that the DP is opening do not reflect the cost being given to the public. The houses appear to be poorly done with sticks that are not straight, firm and that would probably not hold for long especially against torrential rains and flooding in the area.

The mud application done has haphazard and rushed to say the list clearly missing the whole idea, to conceal the sticks used. The roof sheets in the photo appear rusted and at least 5yrs old in the elements which defeats the whole purpose of calling the houses new.

For a country that is investing billions in infrastructure with a deputy that is equally spending more than a billion on his own village house, I strongly believe we can do better to house the people who risk arm, limb and life to protect Kenyans.

After the ceremony DP Ruto took to Facebook where is posted this message:

The Government has set aside funds to improve communication infrastructure in the coastal region especially access to the internet. This will majorly assist security agencies in the fight against crime. Citizens will also have an opportunity to access Government services easily while students will utilize the service to do research to improve their education. Joined leaders in unveiling new blocks for police officers at Garsen Police Station, Tana River County.

Anyway, the DP has provided the evidence that Eurobond money was well spent, no single cent was lost and therefore the matter is put to rest.

  55. Where is the fearless critic of govt of the day go? DP Ruto these govt has reduced you to a shell of yourself….you’ve looted together until you have no voice to say no to anything crooked. Until you have resorted to see no evil and hear no evil. The tsunami that will sweep away your govt is MASSSSSIVE!!! The value of a true leader is when he can raise up and say no to malpractices, corruption etc and defend the taxpayers money within his govt. I must admit that you have miserably fallen as a leader.

  58. So The Police Of Kenya Should Go And Stay In That Hen Coop? (Atakpame). Then Africa Has A Long Journey To Go. That Is Why We Can Have Credible African Union. If Leaders Will Put Up This Atakpame House Expecting Police To Stay In This Depiladated Building Then Im Sorry For Those Leaders In Kenyan.

  78. What are u haters talking about? U like criticising every development i make! You jealousy of my dvpt record period!! 13million is less to build houses such as those. Infact,i had to donate my pocket money to finish those mud houses so that our policemen will not sleep outside in cold n swept away by the coming elnino rains! So stop blaming and accussing a hustler for eating your money. Kusema na kutenda!! Tumesema tutajengea police nyumba,na tumetenda exactly that! Kwani iko nini? Hii maneno nyengine unaskia huko,ni porojo tu! Hamuwezi kututisha,au sio? Wachaneni na jamaa wa vitendawili,hatawapeleka popote! Sisi tunasema,na kutenda!!

  89. Is a pity that in common knowledge, God our creator of heaven and earth holds jelously kingship in His hands and can decide at will to give leadership, be it Chief, Parliamentary, Presidency to whoever He wishes and pleases and that person can be anybody. Unfortunately, Africa and some parts of Europe, Asia and America have lunatics as Presidents. These are people who quiet often come from poor homes who virtually goes on their knees begging their contemporaries to vote for them to represent them in governance. As soon as they get to their undeserved positions, they get carried away because they never dreamt of sitting in an air condition office and riding free cars with free fuel etc. They suddenly become mini gods and instead of respecting the voters as their employers, they rather take metamorphose into lucifer and treat their employers, the voters like slaves.
