it is a pity to see how our leaders trivialize grave issues that deserves a better explanation...

i mean if treasury made mistakes then there should be a better way of accepting responsibility...

Those who are casting ill aspirations on the conduct of UK are dead wrong. The work of his ministry is to bring figures to parliament to be debated. We have 220 MPs who did not bother to check the accuracy of the figures.

UK does not work alone in the minisry. Raila's old bro is his deputy in the ministry and should have assisted his boss to know what was wrong. What bothers me more is what many more typo errors have gone undetected. UK has owned up to the error and kudos for that in a country where admiting failure is unheard of. We need such honest leaders. We know others whose kid's have been caught selling poor kenyans' maize and instead of saying sorry they rush for fake baptism ceremonies.

But can't the ministry give me the job of casting their figures instead of such an embarassment? l would charge them 1% of the figures involved and issue them with a guarantee that all the figures will add up. Just a thought!!!

In 2005,the then minister for roads and public works brought to the house estimates of putting up the Veeps house and tabled them in parliament as 1B instead of 50M......this raised a furore in parliament but the minister explained later that it was a typo and it was duly corrected without ado...!!.......Fast forward 2009.....!!eh..!....Since the first typo was by a Luo.....No evil............ and since the second typo is by a Kikuyu.........it's all evil..........Kweli nyani ni nyani na haoni kundule....!!

God gives,mugikuyu takes.

Seems we have problems with our arithmetic,from Tallying of poll results to matters of budgeting and not forgetting inflated payrolls having ghost workers. At this rate,i dont see how accurate this years Census will be,probably the population will be found to be 10billion.

@Njunge

What are you saying,the words are legible but the logic is lost on me.

Remember this is the finance minister and the finance ministry 'missing' an error that was easily picked by an Mpig.

How many erros should we expect in the coming $10 billion budget.

@ njung'e

mistakes are inevitable esp. in budgeting... but the variance must be realistic...
when it get to the tune of thousands of millions,we cannot condone such ones esp. when IDPS are not resettled,millions are in hunger and mau is encroached...
we should not hear of typo errors alone! some people in the treasury should be shown the door..

I have an headache,how can one make a mindboggling typo of 9.B.

UK must just do the honorable thing: RESIGN.This is gross incompetence in the performance of his duties.

Yes,RAO son has been implicated in the maize scandal but he is over 18 years old .So he should carry his own cross.

Raila's brother is assistant minister of finance,but we heard Kalembe Ndile complain that the work of assistant ministers is to read newspaper.They are not given any chance by their respective ministries.

Shall we keep on paying taxes to feed sleeze?


Imanyara is a real reformist .We thought young leaders like UK,Ababu,Mungatana would lead us to canaan,but Lo ! we are finished!!!!! .Even the richest of all want to add more dinaries in their wallets .

SO SAD.

God help us

Njung'e,with all due respect,please don't try and compare the two incidents,things just don't add up.

First and foremost treasury makes all allocations to each item that the GK intends to incur expenditure on including salaries for all Government employees.

Now in 2005,if you cared read the treasury estimates on that item,it clearly states the amount as 50m and not 1B,

Read the estimates of the concerned ministry before the minister tabled the item in Parliament it also states 50m as the amount to be spent on VP's house.Therefore,a sincere mistake.

However,in our present situation the items for which 9.5B is to be spent on is entered more than 200 times. Meaning it was a calculated move to rob the taxpayer of this amount. Typo mistake my as''~##.
