WHY KIMUNYA SHOULD RESIGN

Hon. Amos Kimunya should resign for having lied to Kenyans concerning the ownership saga of the Grand Regency hotel; it’s difficult for Kenyans to continue trusting Mr.Kimuya with duties at the treasury especially after having lied to them in more than one occasion concerning this issue. It’s only on Thursday that the Lands Minister Hon. James Orengo came out and revealed to Kenyans, that indeed the Hotel had been sold and that some personnel from his ARDHI house office are involved, that’s when Mr. Kimunya through a reactionary press conference owned up that the hotel had actually been sold to the Libyan Government. From Hon Orengo’s revelation that the hand over deal was involving the Kenya Anti-corruption Authority, what does it tell Kenyans about this body charged with the mandate to fight corruption in Kenya? Why should we trust the treasury with our taxes when people like Kimunya can lie to Kenyans without being ashamed? It is therefore
important that Hon.Kimunya due to public interest apologies to the nation and resigns for having taken Kenyans for a ride. We are talking of a culture of impunity being developed, it should all start with our leaders, and they should actually take responsibility for their illegal actions. More over, in order for Kenyans to be guaranteed of quality service delivery from the grand coalition government it’s now important to amend the constitution to allow the formation and operation of a grand opposition in parliament to watch over the performance of the grand coalition government, we also need a vibrant media and an aggressive civil society movement.

Moreover the two principles in the grand coalition government must come out clearly and explain to the nation the unfolding scenarios if they still want Kenyans to have faith in their leadership. Kenyans have yearned for change for a long time and their desire to have meaningful change must not be underestimated.

Dear All,

Chris Owalla you are very right, Kimunya must resign…our leaders have perfected acts of impunity and what is interesting they use the law as allibi for their illegal activities. Imagine how much loot Kimunya has gathered from Anglo Leasing contracts, De La Rue contracts, Mobitelea Ltd, Safaricom IPO and now Grand Regency; how much do Kenyans want him to loot before we show him the door.

The way I see Kimunya and other cahoots around Kibaki ( I may not be surprised if Kibaki is an accomplice) are taking Kenyans for granted. This time round we should stand up firm and clear. We hope that Raila will not develop cold feet as he did with Mobitelea.

However also as we focus on the Grand Regency we must not forget that Kenyans are starving from high food prices, IDPs are still not yet compesated, our workers are poorly paid, our Members of parliament must pay tax among other things. This is the time to climb stairs as we chew gum….

Bunge la Mwananchi will be holding a public debate on Wednesday, 2nd July from 1 o’clock at Professional Centre next to the Parliament. The topic of debate: The connection between high food prices and the grand political corruption in Kenya

Bunge la Mwananchi is an open platform for all Kenyans to engage in democratic expression. Please send to your network or help us circulate the invitation widely plus also plan to participate.

In the setting of agenda for our leaders,

The facts

Libyans government didnt buy grand regency.

Local crooks bought grand regency for a mere 1.85 billion and not 2.9billion as Kimunya claimed.

mukhisa kituyi didnt sign any Tamoil deal or grand regency deal in tripoli deal. Nor was the bilateral agreement incorporating sale of state assets to Libya.
