MACHAKOS GOVERNOR IN A MESS _MUTULA KILONZO’s family now denies ever receiving sh2.9 million from ALFRED MUTUA for burial – he LIED and has EMBARRASSED the family

kethi.jpg The family of the late Makueni Senator, Mutula Kilonzo, has denied allegations by Machakos Governor, Dr. Alfred Mutua, that he gave it sh2.9 million for the burial the late Kamba hero. Speaking yesterday, late Mutula’s son, Mutula Kilonzo Junior, who is also the current Makueni Senator, noted that he was not aware of any money that Governor Mutua gave to his family for the burial of his late father and so did his family. Mutula Jnr said his family was shocked to learn from the media that Governor Mutua gave out sh2.9 million for the funeral and called upon whoever authorized and received the money to personally account for it. However, he said there are no receipts to indicate the money was received and how it was expended but if indeed the Governor gave out, then the family did not get it. Even though he acknowledged receipt of sh1 million for a PA system, he maintained it did not come from Machakos County Government as claimed by Governor Mutua. He said Mutua’s allegations have caused a huge embarrassment to Mutula’s family and portrayed it to have misappropriated public funds.

He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Freedom: The One Thing Gaddafi Could Not Give — And the One Thing No Government Can Take Away

For years, the collapse of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi puzzled many observers across Africa and the world. How could a country with high living standards, generous state programs, and a strong economy turn so swiftly against a leader who appeared to have delivered materially for his people? This question is not just about Libya. It speaks to a deeper truth about governance, legitimacy, and the limits of developmental authoritarianism. It speaks to Africa’s political future. And it speaks directly to the crossroads at which Kenya now finds itself. --- The Libyan Paradox: Prosperity Without Liberty Before the 2011 uprising, Libya’s economic and social indicators were strikingly strong for the region. Gaddafi’s Libya boasted: Free education Free healthcare Subsidized housing Cheap fuel High employment An extensive welfare system These were not myths. The United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) of 2010 ranked Libya 53rd in the world and first in Africa. Even today, that ranking stands...
