If You Thought Blowing 1.9 Million on Common Wheelbarrows Was Strange, Then What Gichugu MP Did Will Leave You Bewildered

Of late, Kenyan politicians have left us at a complete loss of words due to some of the things they are spending taxpayers’ money on.

First it was the Bungoma County Government spending close to 110,000 on a wheelbarrow which added up to around 1.2 Million for 10 wheelbarrows!

Wheelbarrows which were used to ferry CHICKEN from a slaughter house. Next some M.P ‘opened’ a bridge with pageantry and elaboration and now a new photo has emerged that has had us crying Photoshop! Because of just how surreal and ridiculous it looks!

It’s a photo of Gichugu M.P commissioning a rural electric power transformer at Gatomba village in Gichugu yesterday.

Something which he will do to 48 transformers by the end of the year in a project that is expected to supply electricity to 1200 households in the area.

It’s a noble project but was all the pomp and fanfare really necessary?
