Members of the National Assembly have approved Ksh 1,800,000,000 for the Office of the Deputy President to spend over the next three months.
Let’s break it down:
Per month:
Ksh 1,800,000,000 ÷ 3 = Ksh 600,000,000
April, May, and June = 91 days
Per day:
Ksh 1,800,000,000 ÷ 91 = Ksh 19,780,219.78
Per hour:
Ksh 19,780,219.78 ÷ 24 = Ksh 824,175.82
Per minute:
Ksh 824,175.82 ÷ 60 = Ksh 13,736.26
Per second:
Ksh 13,736.26 ÷ 60 = Ksh 228.94
Yes, that’s right, over Ksh 200 spent every second.
Meanwhile, you’re here calculating fare, skipping meals, and being told to “tighten your belt.”
We are not a poor countrywe’re just exceptionally talented at misplacing priorities.
