Dr. Isaac Newton Kinity, the former Secretary General of the Kenya Servants Union, has issued a stern warning to the international community, urging them to halt all loans and grants to Kenya due to rampant corruption allegations against President William Ruto and his administration.
In a strongly worded statement, Dr. Kinity accused the Kenyan government of misappropriating funds provided by international donors and reopening old projects to deceive the global community into offering more financial assistance.
Dr. Kinity’s statement comes amidst growing concerns over the management of public funds in Kenya. He claims that President Ruto has been using underhanded tactics to secure additional loans and grants by falsely presenting completed projects from previous administrations as new developments.
According to Dr. Kinity, this has been a calculated move to mislead donors, including the IMF, World Bank, and key nations such as China, the USA, and Britain, into believing that the funds provided have been used transparently and effectively.
“The loans and grants given to Kenya are being looted and hidden abroad, while the government reopens old, completed projects to fool the donor community,” Dr. Kinity stated.
He further expressed support for the planned strikes by Kenyan teachers, civil servants, and other workers, who have been demanding better pay, timely salary payments, and job availability amidst the alleged misappropriation of funds.
Dr. Kinity, who played a significant role in the suspension of aid to Kenya in 1997 due to similar corruption concerns, reiterated his commitment to exposing the truth.
He warned that the current administration’s actions are not only undermining the country’s development but also burdening Kenyans with higher taxes to repay the stolen loans.
“The donor community should not provide William Ruto and his administration with any more loans and grants until he can prove exactly what he has done with the previous funds,” Dr. Kinity added.
He called for the international community to demand accountability from the Kenyan government, emphasizing the need for transparency and a halt to the reopening of old projects as a means of securing more financial aid.
