Scandal of Government vehicles patronising nightclubs and bars

Nairobi, Kenya: Their blue, green or GK number plates make them stand out while on the road or in the parking lot. But despite this conspicuousness, State officials do not shy away from using Government vehicles for their personal activities, even at night.

The civil servants, both in the national and county governments, are wasting millions of shillings of tax payers money running personal errands that include taking their children to school and visiting nightclubs using Government vehicles. President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto announced they would take a 20 per cent pay cut to curb the soaring wage bill.
