- Lavish lifestyles by the majority of Kenyan government officials have come under sharp criticism with many Kenyans saying they have to account for their wealth. The basic pay for Kenyan MPs for instance is nearly 5600 U.S. dollars per month making them among the best paid in the world compared to average incomes.

"I have been an MP for 8 years." As if that exonerates him.
It only proves that he's a thief. He should have said I was a billionaire before I was an MP.
Good thinking
With an annual salary of KES.12 million (USD. 100,000) multiply by 8, it is not even enough to buy a helicopter.
With salary of MP being less than 10,000 dollers per month; it's Not enough to buy a helicopter even if he saved every penny for 8 years.
A lot of them have been in politics for a while. It just boiled over. We know what's going on but couldn't take it any longer. And the police interfered even while we were fighting for them too, and it got too much. 🇰🇪
We remain Fearless, Tribeless, Leaderless.
It's all that IMF money that they divvy up amongst themselves. That's why #no more IMF loans
How does an MP own a helicopter? Ask yourself!?
Especially one in a 3rdworld country.
Complete lunacy
A heli costs atleast 3 million USD, he can't buy that just from his MP salary in eight years.
Nasty minded and the day the ansestors rise to the fullest hmmmm...
@@MuantanamoMobileAfrica was labeled 3rd world..ask yourself this. If am the supplier why should I be label.
Didmus Barasa was supposed to go to prison for life for murder, but the gun presented in the court was a different one, hence the suspect was acquitted. I believe that he's still a suspect. The victim has a name: Brian Odinga Olunga.
I'm glad to see them getting exposed they are very corrupt
He literally shot a man in the back of his head still walks free today
Thanks for the reminder brother. Despicable Barasa should not be representing anyone anywhere, expect for himself in court for brazenly taking the life of Brian Olunga (RIP).
He sounds and looks very entitled and arrogant. Bure Kabisa!!
You mean hio case iliisha
Flaunting wealth in a country where a section of the population can barely afford food is high level of foolishness
This is where IMF, World Bank Loans go
Exactly!!!!
Salary 700k helicopter 150 million plus other luxury cars it's time for our leaders to explain their wealthy or should be taken to jail
@beirut, I doubt if a helicopter goes for that amount....I think it should be around KSHS 300 million upwards.
We are also perplexed the ones living in the diaspora making upwards of 10k usd a month....what businesses are they invested in that we don't knw about
Take them to court!
@tamaduni 10k a month is nothing...its taxes that eat you in diaspora. We used to make up to 20 to 25k a month...the expenses were 50% sometimes even 100%

The arrogance of the member of Parliament in the first video is astonishing
That specific member of parliament killed a returning officer in the previous elections and got away with it. His name is Didmus Barasa. The young man he killed was called Brian Olunga, may he RIP.
The MP has no shame! ridiculously counting his corrupt wealth on us, so what we stand up and clap for you? Mr MPig.
For real!...just amazing how he says it so straightly.
"I am not a small scale trader, you can see my office" 😂😂
Atwoli must go! That dude is useless
thank you CGTN
What do you mean "8 years...look at my office....I am a inspiration".....A helicopter costs north of 300 million kes. On an MPs salary? You basic thief.
We will look for barasa personally and deal with him
No wonder the crooks won’t fix roads because they just fly over with helicopters purchased with stolen funds . What a disgrace.
Ati am an inspiration to the youth????mwizi. which youth???
A murderer and a thief trying to. Justify his ill gotten wealth!!! That heli shld be given back to its owners! Kenyans!
Cdf should be dissolved
💯💯💯
Education be made free.
We knew this goverment would not deliver.
Led by the president himself
Every govt except kibaki didn't deliver.
Ruto inherited a collapsed economy
@@ahmedkulowabdi821and continued to loot behind ICU
Honestly only Kibaki delivered, I sense he was just trying to exonerate the previous regime which is the major source of our challenges based on the debt binge
@@ahmedkulowabdi821no Ruto has never worked he is lazy !He stopped working long time ago
How much salary does an mp earn to purchase a helicopter in 8years?
These leaders need to provide their sources of wealth for scrutiny.
All that IMF money that they divide amongst themselves 😮
you must tell Kenyans where are you getting this money
The Kenyan government system is unsustainable. They have 47 counties each with a parliament,a cabinet and governor and deputy governors all commanding huge salaries and perks.47 counties.Let that sink in
you interviewed a murderer!!!! Great CGTN!!!
It Is very irrational and foolish to steal from your country's coffers at the expense of kenya citizens.
In Kenya, for you to be rich, you must be a politician. Obvious you know where they get money from.. LOOTING
Or a pastor
How does an MP own a helicopter serious, tenderpreneurs
What a lovely eloquent lady Rachel Akinyi!
We really don't care for the helicopters, that's not the issue, nor is paying taxes. But am angry, very angry.
Good governance and accountability of public funds is the issue. War on graft of public resources. We are tired of thieves and liars. We will fix this country. Enough is enough.
Happy to see my friend Stephanie articulating our voices and discontent..
In 8 yrs he is able to afford a helicopter while earning less than 10 usda month ....i have been working and making over 10k usd for over 15yreand i cannot afford a chopper ...sir please advice what business are you invested in
barasa i was with you just the other day at kimilili boys,you became a soldier and then an mp..now you even own a helicopter how fast like this,how do you get this credits man so that i can also acquire one although i know you used to be very sharp at school but untidy
😂😂😂😂 Buda bahati ya mwenzio usiilalie mlango wazi.
@@kabuthakabutha9472 ninamfurahia sababu inaonyesha bidii,ni mtu ambaye tulikuwa pamoja na hata Mimi ninamafanikio yangu na inamaanisha penye nia pana njia.. so asonge mbele na achape kazi
Citizens living in villages lack paved roads, municipal water, sewer, and electricity. These officials are gloating.
He purchased the helicopter last year, he'd also a murderer who is being shielded by Ruto
The lady journalist speaking is Nigerian living in kenya ✔️
Her name is Ndu Okoh✔️
Are you for real dude she is not Ndu Okoh
You forgot to say he is also a murderer
They are not like us...they live on our blood and sweat
That opulence is what their electorate like to see, ask their voters.
Life style audits are needed for politicians, things just don't add up
you can't have nice things around poor people
SI HIO NI KRIMINOO!
If this isn't enough to spark a revolution, I don't know what is. The MP with the helicopter is basically saying "let them eat cake".
###RUTO MUST GO 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪 ##TUESDAY AND THURSDAY PUBLIC HOLIDAY 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Corruption
Did he just claim to have mortgaged his property to buy a helicopter...🤣
Very stupid of him... depreciating liability over appreciating asset. I do take that so quick. But I doubt there is a big enough land in luhya land worthy buying a chopper with
Mmmmmmhhh. That arrogance? Wacha kazi ianze kudeclare origin of wealth.
We all know that's the IMF and world bank loans that are they divide amongst themselves
Who votes them in?
How did he acquired it? Lifestyle audit is a must. Africa without poor leadership, unfair contracts with multinational and excess borrowing,Africa is very rich. We are poor because of poor leadership.
Just Disgusting!!
did he just say he is an inspiration to young people!
I mean Kenya is rich so the lawmakers will be rich no matter what the issue is the wealth needs to be better distributed
Man not a bad job if it actually got done.
Credit isn't supposed to be used for helicopters, amazing excuse
8 years of lavish lifestyle in politics then the audacity of entitlement while children are dying of hunger in Kenya these people should return all the money they have stolen starting from the previous governments to the present....
Even with the eight years income..$72k/yr...that's $576k...plus allowances maybe $1m...a chopper goes for $2m.. maintenance is 10% per year..$50k... ain't no way that's possible...even on two incomes.. y'all stealing
Waah only in kenya!!!barasa?!!
Ruto and his government must leave.
Spontaneous 🇰🇪💯🤞🏿
Sad when people are suffering
'i am an inspiration of many young people' who told you?
It’s not business as usual for Kenyan politicians. This is coming to an end… politics in Kenya is changing for good.. and people like the helicopter guy will have to account for their deeds. Shameful
How about refuse to pay back the loans. go bankrupt!
Lifestyle audit is the way..
I heard the young lady akinyi disappeared after this interview I hope she isn’t one of those bodies recovered in that quarry pit
5 millions as just MP 🇰🇪🫢
"I am an inspiration for upcoming thugs!"
Come on people. You are all responsible. If weed isn't legal, that can bring in revenue if only dispensed through government dispensaries, why is hedonistic pay legal. Weed at least will bring in money, and people can pay monthly or yearly for a license that allows them to buy and be in possession of weed. These people ask for hedonistic salaries, and bring in no money. If weed is illegal, so should hedonistic salaries. If the highest government salary by law is 10x minimum wage no allowances, that is 150,000ksh. How much does that save on the wage bill? Then artificial intelligence can be used to monitor every expense, to assist those who audit.
Kenya politician really don't care, but the kenyan people had enough
Thievery
When you all finish blame the west. SMH
