From Loitokitok’s Nolturesh Water Project to allegations of bursary corruption in Kajiado West and the scandal in the Kenya Meat Commission, land grabbing in Kajiado and development at a standstill one is left to wonder what this county is all about! One is left to wonder who is taking charge and what the county is doing to curb all these.
A large chunk of news in Kajiado county is not documented nor reported. The county has no proper addressing platform on the happenings of the area. Today most content in this post will be graphical. From the outcry of residents in Kajiado on social media. The leaders don’t get to see what their people have to say as it is TOO, in fact VERY HARD to contact them.
1. Development
This is just a comparison of a county similar to ours and where are they? Is our governor as hardworking as theirs?
And someone is concerned on slow progress in the county.
2. Corruption in KMC and Nolturesh Water
The Kenya Meat Commission
This was in 2013 before the revival plans where KMC lost Ksh 1.2billion and had over Ksh 300m debt. Yes mismanagement and mass corruption I know!

But after revival, everything should have gone smoothly, but what do Kajiado county residents say of KMC? Those who know it so well?
And some say it was done under Kores Watch!
Nolturesh Water and Sanitation Company
First, the outcry of an affected resident
It was highlighted on Loitokitok.com http://loitokitok.com/controversy-over-nolturesh-water/
It was highlighted on Nepad Water http://nepadwatercoe.org/kenya-taps-run-dry-in-emali-and-loitokitok-towns/
NTV reported that there will be a sign of relief after the illegal irrigation was abolished
We at Loitokitok.com made a call to Nolturesh only to find out that they had indeed shut down a pumping station because of Kenya Power bill and all bills were passed to the County Government. But to date????
3. Massive Corruption in Kajiado West
It started with the bursary programme where fingers were pointed to the MP Hon Sakuda with a hash tag #SakudaUmezidi
Then more of Bursary allegations
It was also shocking that people who did not apply for the bursary got the funds. Guys, it just doesn’t happen in Hollywood it happens in Kajiado County too.
Then residents decided to take action!
Which may be was forwarded to Ethics and Anti-corruption commission as they say in which as we know, it is the level we call a dead end.
4. Hospitals?
Heard of Kitengela Medical Hospital? I guess you haven’t! Some say it is a morgue!
What about the famous Loitokitok District Hospital?
5. Massive Land Grabbings?
Kajiado County Press Headlines says;
And the Maa people are displaced in their own county
There are also Ketraco issues too.
6. Innocent Killings?
Yes you read that right. There are also innocent killings in Kajiado County.
My question is, are our leaders aware of this? If they are, what are they doing about it? If they aren’t why don’t they interact with their people? The same people who put them to power? I really hope that current aspirants are reading this because residents seem to have a change of heart on current leaders.
And many are asking for change and looking for solutions.
And the last comment from the above says that we have great brains that can be maximised to the benefit of the county and action is now or never!
