Kenyan Government To Conduct Nationwide Inspection Of Development – Gov’t Spokesman, Mwaura

The Kenyan government has planned to conduct a nationwide inspection of development projects initiated by the Head of State.

The government spokesperson, Isaac Mwaura made the announcement during a Thursday media briefing, following several reports revealing abandoned projects and widespread corruption.

Mwaura stated that officials from the office of the President will conduct comprehensive assessments across all regions to assess the progress of these projects.

“The government has achieved much, but there is often confusion surrounding its efforts,” Mwaura explained. “My office, in collaboration with the President’s office, will visit even the most remote areas.”

He emphasized that the primary goal of these inspections are to ensure that projects, as described in official documents, are being carried out as intended.

He said: “We will ensure that what is on paper, and what we discuss here in Nairobi, is actually happening on the ground.

“There are claims that the reality on the ground differs from the official narrative, and we must address this perception.”

This move comes after a sequence of exposures by a lawyer-turned-activist, Morara Kebaso, who has personally documented numerous incomplete or abandoned projects, frequently filming the sites himself.

Kebaso has been harshly critical of President Ruto’s administration, accusing it of either failing to initiate projects, allowing them to stall, or completing them despite what he calls “massive looting” of public funds.

Kebaso has independently visited numerous counties to verify the status of government projects, including those launched during Ruto’s appointment as Deputy President.

He has visited at least 18 counties so far, pledging to continue his efforts despite facing threats and intimidation.

As his campaign gains momentum, Kebaso has gained widespread public support, with many Kenyans viewing him as a champion for transparency and government accountability.
