Kenyan officials accused of buying sex toys on expenses

[uncleruckus]

A Kenyan ministry bought sex toys on expenses, senior Kenyan MP Nicholas Gumbo has told the BBC.

The items appeared on a list of expenditure that parliament's public accounts committee (PAC), chaired by Mr Gumbo, was looking into.

Kenya's Ministry of Devolution is alleged to have bought a series of goods at inflated prices.

But the minster in charge, Anne Waiguru, said that the allegations were not true.

The corruption investigation comes as the government tries to deal with a growing budget deficit.

Mr Gumbo told the BBC that he was shocked when he saw what was on the list.

Devolution Minister Anne Waiguru was questioned by the public accounts committee for four hours
In addition to the sex toys, the ministry is also alleged to have bought over-priced condom dispensers, stationery, photocopiers and a piano and television for the minister's office.

On Wednesday, Ms Waiguru was questioned for nearly four hours by the PAC over the corruption allegations, reports the BBC's Bashkash Jugsooda'ay from the capital, Nairobi.

She denied her ministry had bought a television screen for $19,000 (£12,000), or that she was involved in the purchase of a condom dispenser for $250.

There was no mention of the sex toys.

Earlier, Ms Waiguru distanced herself from the alleged corruption saying on her Facebook page that she does "not purchase anything for the ministry".

She added that there was no TV screen or piano in her office.

I blocked HunqaacoQurun long ago!

With the street children all over the country and high rate of drug abuse and prostitution they have zero morals stealing that kind of money- she stole what should be her years salary on that fake TV scam alone. WTF is a condom dispenser? This is all theft - they shouldn't be able to buy these things on expenses.

 

[uncleruckus]

[Shamis]

Why does she need one on expenses? Is she running a brothel?

And this amidst a energy crisis that's going on in that country, seems they are humping the day lights out of each other instead of sorting their country out xoolo

 

[Shamis]

Who cares about their energy crisis - its just a way to get Christian NGO's to do the work for them as usual - Kenyans literally don't do anything but steal and breed

@HalyeeyQaran what say you?

Ooh you should care seeing as they want to go nuclear since that's the only way to get enough energy, but they are making up excuses saying alshabaab could get their hand's on a nuclear core, another way of saying we want to get hands on Somalia because of this excuses check this next article.

How Al-Shabab Could Get Their Hands on a Nuclear Core

Kenya is facing a terrible dilemma: Run out of energy for its citizens, or risk terrorists seizing a nuclear power plant. Africa / Nuclear

Last April, four al-Shabaab fighters killed 148 people at Garissa University in northeastern Kenya, just up the street from a major military installation. While students fled, barefoot and in their nightclothes, the soldiers remained on standby, unsure how to respond, and elite police took hours to arrive.

In September 2013, the Somalia-based Islamist militants attacked a mall in the heart of Nairobi, killing 67, most of them before any uniformed police or military showed up.

This does not sound like a country that should be getting a nuclear program, even a civilian one. And yet it is, getting an initial thumbs-up from the International Atomic Energy Agency in August.

Kenya says that it has no choice. By 2030, it will need 20,000 MW of electricity, and the current energy mix can’t meet those needs.

Droughts, getting longer and more frequent, will undermine hydropower plants, which provide more than 50% of the power today. Neighboring Tanzania said earlier this month that it would have to temporarily turn off all its hydropower plants because of low water levels, and plans to reduce its dependence on hydro.

Meanwhile, geothermal energy will top out at a maximum of 10,000 MW—Kenya is unable to capture any more than that. Solar energy will remain part of the mix as well, but not at a scale that can meet the demand. “We have no option but to embrace nuclear early enough to avoid starting the process long after we have exhausted geothermal sources,” said Joseph Njoroge, one of the country’s top energy officials.

So what of the nightmare scenario—a terrorist group seizing control of a nuclear power plant and getting hold of its core? It has been quiet in much of Kenya since the attack on Garissa, but there is a sense here that al-Shabaab is not weaker—just laying low, possibly planning another major attack.

The South Africa-based Institute for Security Studies convened a conference in Nairobi in September on United Nations Resolution 1540, which bans non-state actors from getting their hands on nuclear, biological or chemical weapons. Speaking on the sidelines, Nicolas Kasprzyk, a non-proliferation expert at South Africa’s Institute for Security Studies, is confident that Kenya can keep a nuclear facility safe. He thinks public perception, not actual safety, is the big hurdle.

“Clearly more needs to be done to fight this situation with al-Shabaab. How can you build trust in your nuclear program if you’re perceived as not managing to contain the terror threat?” he said. But as proof that Kenya is up to the task, he pointed to its experience protecting medical research facilities with specimens that could easily be turned into biological weapons.

There are two level-3 biosafety laboratories (which can handle all but the most lethal diseases) in the vicinity of Nairobi that have been kept secure—both from terrorists and from human error—for years now.

That being said, Kasprzyk pointed out that nowadays it’s the private sector, not government research institutes, that has the most contact with dual-use goods—materials that could be used for peaceful or non-peaceful purposes. And where governments in the region often fall short is proper private-sector oversight, meaning materials might get siphoned off or stolen without government knowledge. Although Kenya has not yet said who will build the nuclear power plant, it’s likely to be a private company.

“The two of them just don’t have a dialogue on proliferation,”Kasprzyk says, referring to the government and private sector. “You can’t exclude that could be diverted… you have a genuine risk,” he said.

Al Shabaab getting a hold of a nuclear plant? These people are just begging for aid in every way - this is nothing but a smoke signal - ignore it. I hope they find the energy but they need to stop using Somalia as a cover to get their hands on USAid.

 

[uncleruckus]

Of-course what they are suggesting is absurd, by the way if they got a okay from the Atomic agency to get nuclear power then they will get any and all aid's regardless, no begging since to even get a okay from the Atomic agency is much much harder then getting any aid, this to lay out a another narrative a very insidious one since they will tell them the only way for you to get nuclear is to sort out the problem next door, you understand sheegadah meesha kasocdoo ?

 

[Shamis]

They can't do shit about that sorry - Al Shabaab are pretty much their problem now. We've reduced them to just suicide bombers. They on the other hand have them roaming their game reserves and swearing to get revenge for the people Kenya killed in Mombasa, especially scholars. I think that a powerful Kenya would be good for us - not a trickle down effect, but a solid market for our goods and less trouble than South Africa.

Lots of people here with absolutely no idea what they're talking about. First of all, Anne Waiguru is a thief and she will be ousted soon as more than 240 MPs have backed her ouster. Cases of corruption happen in every country as no country is immune from corruption. I'm very pleased with the way the Kenyan judicial system along with the legislature are handling this case. The Kenyan government is becoming more transparent by the day under the leadership of President Kenyatta. We can only hope that one day there will be the same transparency and justice in Somalia.

There is no energy crisis in Kenya. Also, Kenya doesn't intend on ever building a nuclear power plant. The country is relying on green energy. Kenya has the largest geothermal plant in the world as well as the largest wind farm in Africa and those are only two sources of energy. You are referring to the articles stated in Vision 2030, which is led by a Somali member of the Kenyan cabinet by the way. Vision 2030 states that Kenya will need to be able to supply triple the amount of MW that it currently supplies.

In reference to the terrorist organization Al Shabaab, they are starving and are demoralized by all of the defeats they have suffered at the hands of the KDF. They are isolated in Boni Forest and a 90-day operation is currently underway to clear them from the forest. Al Shabaab is all but defeated in Kenya. Their recruitment is drying up both locally and from abroad. The few Kenyan teenagers who have been fortunate enough to escape from Al Shabaab have been leading the effort to dissuade youth from joining the terrorist organization. The completion of the border wall along with the repatriation of refugees from Somalia will complete the expulsion of Al Shabaab from Kenya.

Kenya will continue to prosper whether it be economically, socially, militarily, etc. Keep comparing your failed state to the Republic of Kenya and continue to be disappointed. The international community loves Kenya and the Kenyan people and every attack on Kenyan soil will only garner more compassion and attention for the fight against terrorism this blessed nation. That same international community that will offer its unwavering support for Kenya absolutely despises Somalia and sees it as a burden placed on the world. How many billions of dollars in aid will be deposited into the offshore bank accounts of Somali politicians while your country continues to be sold off piece by piece and your people continue to die of thirst, starvation, and violence?



Your country is consistently ranked the worst country in the world by every index and you have the gall to criticize a rising nation with an extremely high potential, talk about misplaced priorities. You have the cheek to call the bright children of Kenya glue children while this is the state of Somali children today:


Your children have no future, they are taught Amharic and Turkish in schools. They are used as child soldiers for various tribal militias as well as Al Shabaab. I pity the children in Somalia. I sincerely hope that one day the children of Somalia will have normal lives and be allowed to be kids. Kenya will try its best to be a role model for Somalia. The children of Somalia will one day be able to have the lives of children in Nairobi and Mombasa.

Continue to wish ill will on Kenya, it will only motivate us.

Your absolutely right she is a thief a sexual deviant one walibee a real trait among fufu eating kikuyus.

Ooh really kenya has no energy crisis huh let's see about that.

Shaking off the energy crisis: how far can kinetic deliver on its promises?
Children in rural Kenya are using a percussion shaker to produce reading light, reducing reliance on kerosene lamps
When the sun sets in Kenya, tens of millions of people set about the daily challenge of lighting their homes. Some 80% of the population lives off-grid, according to the World Bank, while 550m people across Africa lack access to electricity. Despite the rise of solar technology, burning kerosene oil is still commonplace for many Kenyans, a practice that weighs heavily on the household purse and exposes families to noxious fumes.

GE taps smart solutions to Kenya’s energy crisis
Five million of Kenya’s eight million households are not connected to the national grid, according to the International Finance Corporation, but the private sector is now accelerating the continent’s electricity uptake by deploying alternative solutions. General Electric is one of them.
Kenya has an energy capacity of some 1,500MW against a demand of about 1,300 MW, but more than 60 per cent of that capacity is generated as hydroelectricity — in a country classified as water stressed.

As rain patterns have become more unreliable and key water catchment areas have been destroyed, hydroelectricity output has fluctuated, leading to sometimes severe power rationing.

Atomic agency nods to Kenya’s nuclear plants
A nuclear power plant in France. Kenya looks to set up a series of nuclear power plants, each with a capacity to generate 1,000 megawatts from 2023.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has given Kenya the green light to proceed with preparations for its first nuclear plant following a week-long assessment.

and you would think some one like you who as hard as you would know what goes on in your beloved country i guess not.

Do i really need to go further and demolish you some more

ill be back to destroy more feeble attempts from the feeble mind's on this forum in a few hours stew in your bs for now.
