Jewel Muchoki…They have learned from the best, tax everyone and everything……the motorists should pay the “tax” demanded through e-citizen.
Pst Ambaka…The moment the government begun using goons to handle demonstrators they messed with security sector.
Tom…I hope those guys in leadership are taking notes……its like kenya is transforming to Haiti slowly. Something needs to be done as soon as possible else we’re all doomed.

Edwin Ngwata…Such nonsense and anarchy must be stopped as soon as possible.Haiti started like that now the innocent citizens are in trouble.Kenya is governed by the rule of law.
