Using public funds for political campaigns unfair and fraudulent

It is becoming increasingly apparent that incumbent politicians are abusing their positions by using State or county resources to gain political capital. In some cases, taxpayers’ money is irregularly used to launch activities that belong to campaign platforms.

More commonly, county resources such as vehicles and drivers are used to transport governors to official functions even when it is clear that these functions serve as platforms for political campaigns. Under the law, leaders such governors are provided with security, drivers and support staff — resources paid for by our taxes. But rather than use these resources to provide first-class service to Kenyans, they are abusing this privilege.
