Staggering Sh106m Bomas Talks Budget Exposed. Taxpayers money?

The funding for the Bomas talks, organized by a 10-member negotiation team appointed by President William Ruto and Opposition leader Raila Odinga, has been revealed.

The budget allocates Ksh 106 million for team allowances and planned retreats in Naivasha and Mombasa.

The breakdown includes Ksh 10 million for "document translation" and Ksh 15,000,000 for the publication of 1,000 copies of materials.

An additional Ksh 9.7 million is earmarked for contingency.

Co-chairs of the National Dialogue Committee, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka and National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah, are entitled to Ksh 50,000 allowances per sitting.

Documents reveal that both Musyoka and Ichung’wah are expected to attend a total of 20 sittings, comprising 15 sessions at Bomas of Kenya, three in Naivasha during report writing, and two in Mombasa for the adoption of the final document to be submitted to Parliament.

The remaining eight members of the team are slated to receive Ksh 40,000 in allowances per sitting. These eight members will also attend a total of 20 sittings.

Each member of the eight-person technical team will get Ksh 25,000 per sitting for the 41 scheduled meetings, for a total of Ksh 1,025,000 per member.

This equates to Ksh 8.2 million for the technical crew as a whole.

The talks to settle the 2022 presidential election dispute are expected to last 60 days, with the possibility of an extension subject to parliamentary approval.

The 20 members of the secretariat will each be entitled to Ksh 15,000 per sitting for the 41 sessions.

This totals Ksh 12.3 million for the secretariat.

Furthermore, six security officers accompanying the team will receive Ksh 2,500 per day in allowances.

The budget was adopted on September 11, following a break in the National Dialogue Committee's sessions to participate in the Africa Climate Summit in Nairobi.

Discussions between Musyoka, Ichung’wah, Opiyo Wandayi, and Hassan Omar with National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’began on September 13.

The purpose was to seek financial support from the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC).

While it remains unconfirmed whether the PSC has allocated or disbursed funds for the talks, it is evident that taxpayer funds are being channeled into the Bomas negotiations.

Both the National Assembly and the Senate passed a motion to formally establish the ongoing talks.

Aside from parliamentary funding, select Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are also contributing to the negotiations.

One NGO is reportedly covering the expenses for the Bomas conference facilities.

A significant portion of the budget, totaling Ksh 4.6 million, has been allocated to the Bomas of Kenya for conference facilities and catering.

The technical team is scheduled to convene in Naivasha from October 10 to 14 for the analysis of stakeholder submissions, incurring an expenditure of Ksh 8.9 million.

Besides allowances for various teams, ground transport will amount to Ksh 1.35 million.

Half-board accommodation for the 38-member team will cost Ksh 4.56 million, at Ksh 30,000 per member for four days.

The entire team, comprising the National Dialogue Committee, Technical Teams, and the secretariat, will hold another retreat in Naivasha from October 17 to 21 for report writing, with associated costs estimated at Ksh 11.4 million.

During this phase, ground transport will cost Ksh 2.1 million, while accommodation will require Ksh 4.8 million for the 38-member team during this phase.

Finally, the National Dialogue Committee is scheduled to convene in Mombasa from October 24 to 27 for the adoption of the report.

This event will involve members from the NDC, technical teams, secretariat, and security.

The talks team plans to spend Ksh 1.2 million on air tickets for 40 members, with ground transport at Ksh 1.68 million and accommodation costing Ksh 3.6 million for the three days.

Additional costs include advertising with the document indicating that the team spent Ksh 2.4 million in placing advertisements in two leading newspapers on September 1, primarily to invite members for public participation.

These financial details appear contradictory to previous claims made by Ichung’wah, who insisted that taxpayers' money would not be used for the talks.

In fact, Ichung’wah had rejected proposals to hold the discussions at the five-star Serena Hotel, suggesting alternative venues that would minimize costs to the public.

- Professor Emily Achieng Akumo for Jaramogi University of Science and Technology (JKUAT).

- Professor Charles Omondi for Tom Mboya University.

- Professor Eric Kipyegon Koech for the University of Kabianga

These 13 new VCs will also be responsible for the general development projects of the respective institutions.

The announcement by Machogu’s ministry comes months after the Public Service Commission (PSC) advertised vacancies in various institutions, as the terms of previous university leaders came to an end.

On July 31, the University Academic Staff Union (UASU) urged the government to expedite the appointment of new vice chancellors for public universities, where the tenures of serving VCs have expired.

UASU officials argued that the affected universities were facing managerial challenges because they were operating with acting VCs, who could not make substantive decisions.

Today at 12:56 am, Nairobi County Chief Officer for Health Facilities Geoffrey Mosiria made an impromptu visit to Mbagathi Hospital to assess the quality of patient care and identify areas where our healthcare providers may require additional support, as per the directive of H.E. Governor Sakaja Arthur Johnson. He was truly impressed to find all the staff diligently working and providing their services in various departments, including the labor ward, newborn unit, general wards, theater, and outpatient area.

During his visit, Mosiria took the opportunity to motivate and commend the healthcare team for their dedication and hard work. He conveyed warm regards from our passionate governor, who places a high priority on healthcare and extends maximum support to the sector. As the chief officer, it is his responsibility to ensure the implementation of the governor's agenda for the benefit of the people of Nairobi, who are the primary recipients of our services and important stakeholders in our healthcare system.

What is happening in Machakos County?
Hon Wavinya Ndeti Machakos County Edition Machakos County
The hardworking people of Machakos County should be up in arms. They should not only be angry but mad at the ongoings at the County Public Service Board, the body that is meant to ensure that the recruitment of new staff to the county is not only above board, fair transparent but gives the people of Machakos County a fair to make a decent living.

Now let me shock you, the board chairperson Albanus Mutisya flew to Mombasa with members of the county public service board and two chief officers namely; mercy ndululu from the governor’s office, and decentralized units chief officer Maureen Maingi from public service management they flew Kenya airways on a return ticket costing around ksh 37,000. You do the math on what the cost was.

They were then booked at the Sharaton Hotel in Mombasa and Azur Margarita. Please see the pictures below, where for one week they embarked on a process that has left many residents of Machakos County questioning God… why would God allow a group of people to kill the aspirations and career plans of our youth!

The county government of Machakos under the leadership of governor wavinya ndeti asked the county public service board to announce various vacancies in the county government which, the board went ahead do and invited eligible applicants to apply. Our children in their thousands applied for the jobs, but unknown to them the county public service board chairman and his members namely Franklin Makola, John Kumbu, Marleen Misco Mwanika, and acting secretary Paul Muisyo had a different plan.
They decided that out of the hundreds of viable positions advertised, they will single-handedly select, shortlist and issue employment letters. This was done one month ago but by this time, the board had not called the applicants to show up for the interviews.

We are reliably informed that the board went ahead and prepared a list of 435 revenue officers and 400 inspectorate officers and gave them various job groups, but there was a problem!

The county public service board secretary Paul Muisyo chickened out and offered to resign. His resignation letter indicated he had quit on the 23rd of June 2023 and the letters he had signed were to be issued to the fake successful candidates on the 27th of July 2023 which is tomorrow.!!!! But the plan has since been shelved. The letters were shredded and the evil board returned to the drawing board. Juliana the new acting CEO and secretary to the board whose appointment has not been regularized and formalized was tasked to execute the failed evil plan. Remember her appointment was done without any interview, she is literally in office illegally.

Three weeks ago undeterred and determined to carry out their evil scheme, the board chairman Albanus asked the board to convene in Mombasa where for seven days they again shortlisted their preferred candidates, and issued letters. A total of 435 unscrupulous candidates were shortlisted as having passed the recruitment interview before they returned back to Nairobi over the weekend.
The entire process was under the strict supervision of the two chief officers namely mercy ndululu from the governor’s office, and decentralized units chief officer Maureen Maingi from public service management who oversaw the entire exercise, raising serious concerns about the independence of the board chairman.
The 435 names included new ones but still retained a good number of those signed by the outgoing board secretary Paul Muisyo.

If you think this is some joke, ask anyone who was at the county public service board offices on Monday two weeks ago. There were people who came to collect letters of appointment dated Tuesday 17th/ 26th /27th of July 2023 even before the interviews commenced.
Here is the problem, one week ago hundreds of Machakos residents, mostly youth shortlisted for interviews which are still ongoing will be facing a board that has already decided who to give the jobs to.
Why subject hundreds of desperate youth to interviews when you know that it’s a useless process where you have already dished out jobs to people who do not even qualify for such positions?!.
We are told that in the meeting in Mombasa, some board members were unhappy with threats on them if they don’t jointly own the fake and corrupt recruitment to the point where the board secretary is said to have said she was not comfortable signing the letters! Juliana is scared, but she has already signed the letters!
Where is governor wavinya when a board she appointed is allowed to conduct an illegal, shoddy, corrupt process?
Is the governor aware of this latest attempt to kill the dreams of the people who voted for her to become the second governor of Machakos County?!
Those lining up since last week to face the recruiting panel are not aware that they have wasted their money, and time to show up for the shoddy interviews. The county assembly that regulates the county board is aware of this charade of a recruitment process and we hereby call upon them to stop the board in its tracks and demand for a thorough probe.

Governor wavinya, stop this madness before it brings your government and good name into disrepute!
Someone help our COUNTY NOW!!
