Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika has wiped gallons of sweat after being roasted by Kenyans on Facebook. The governor blamed Kenyans for complaining too much and not giving the government time to work. Instead of getting praises and flowers, mud was all over her post. Kenyans didn’t even respect her status, she was called BIG NAMES.
Here is what she wrote:
Ok good people, am sitting here wondering what Kenyans really want? You don’t want the President to borrow any more money (I get it and prefer he doesn’t too) but when we have willing investors for PPP’s then you are all up in arms? Then you also don’t want him to raise money internally – Finance Bill!
But Yet you want big things done!! When he comes to Nakuru County we want the dualling of the Rironi – Mau Summit Road, we want the Itaare dam completed, we want the Lanet Airport completed, we want our poor road networks upgraded where is he supposed to get this money from? He wasn’t a magician the last I checked
Wouldn’t it make more sense for PPP’s to handle some of these very expensive but very necessary infrastructural projects?
Airports like JFK ($9.5B Terminal 1 & $4.2B Terminal 6), Heathrow (£14B expansion), and Istanbul ($12B new airport) have thrived under Public-Private Partnerships. As we face limits on debt and as local resource collection mechanisms face challenges, it’s time to embrace sustainable development solutions such as PPPs for Kenya’s infrastructure growth. Let’s maximize local resource mobilization and public private partnerships for a prosperous future.
And oh yeah we have become extremely negative as a people. Very cynical and dare I say almost unpatriotic.

Susan Kihika defeated Lee Kinyanjui in 2022 to become the first female governor of Nakuru,but she has been underwhelming.
