CORRUPTION, NEPOTISM, CRONYISM AND MISMANAGEMENT OF FUNDS PLUS MANY OTHER SCANDALS ALLEGATIONS AGAINST MANDERA COUNTY GOVERNMENT RAISED BY MANDERA COUNTY FACEBOOK ACTIVISTS In regards to the topic above, for the past few days there have been hundreds of posts published in the Mandera County Groups on Facebook mostly in the 2 Most Famous Groups the Mandera News Forum (MNF) and the Mandera Tribune. The posts were all alleging corruption and scandals that their publishers whom i call Mandera County Facebook Activists are claiming took place in the day-to-day management of the Mandera County Government. The Mandera County Facebook Activists are an emerging group of educated and professional youths from Mandera County who have made it their objective to spread all allegations against the Mandera County Government, but the way they are doing things doesnt make them look like a result-oriented team that aims at taking things to the next level. For them their Facebook Activism is all about posting anything negative about the Mandera County Government without necessarily investigating whether what they are posting is genuine or not. All they care about is to create publicity for themselves, spread propaganda and cheap lies. The Mandera County Facebook Activists are all alleging that the scandals going on at the County Government are what they believe does that exist, but till it is proved those allegations will always remain allegations. THE FOLLOWING ISSUES WERE RAISED BY THE MANDERA COUNTY FACEBOOK ACTIVISTS 1. COUNTY FUNDS- Allegations were raised about the mismanagement of County Funds. 2, NEPOTISM- Allegations were raised where it was reported that recruitment of County Staff by the County Public Service Board (PSB) was done through nepotistic means. 3. CRONYISM- Allegations were also raised where it was reported that senior county official’s i.e. Executives and Directors were rewarding their cronies with contracts worth millions. MY ADVICE TO THE MANDERA COUNTY FACEBOOK ACTIVISTS First and foremost all of you need to reveal the truths you are talking about. Continuously publishing rumors and gossips on Social Media won’t make any sense or add any value to the lives of the people of Mandera County. You guys should stop being coward and instead you should stand up and be counted as a brave Man/Woman who stood for justice, accountability and transparency.. My advice to you guys and all others out there who are spreading all kinds of rumors and gossips about the Mandera County Government is; 1. Do a good Research Paper on the issues you are talking about, gather information from different sources, use different sources to verify and authenticate the information you gathered, then put the verified information into a report, add supporting evidences and proofs, verify report before release and release to the public what you verified and you are sure of. 2. Do not publish Half-baked stories, Street Gossips, Miraa Chewing Session Stories and Whatsapp Group Rumor Exchange Sessions. Never rely on information which you have not personally or collectively verified to be true and genuine. 3. After personally verifying the informations you publish on Social Media and you found out that what you always publish aint anywhere near do not ever again engage yourself in propaganda, cheap publicity and transporting lies to Social Media. Instead of making a fool of yourself you better shut up forever rather than always being a professional rumor monger and propaganda specialist. If you guys do what is right and tell the great of Mandera County the whole truth as per the way things are, then for you guys will be the real heroes for the people of Mandera County. The people of Mandera County need social change activists who speak the truth, stand for the truth and always believe in the truth. That is what you guys should be. MY PLEDGE TO SUPPORTING ANY GENUINE REPORT OUTLINING THE ISSUES BEING RAISED BY THE MANDERA COUNTY FACEBOOK ACTIVISTS Anyone who releases verified information supported by evidences and proofs will have my support up to the end. I will stand to take it to the next level so that at the end of the day justice will be served to whoever is implicated by the report. I will always stand up for Open Governance, Citizen Participation in decision making processes, Social Justice, Accountability and Transparency but i will never ever rely on Rumors, Gossips, Cheap Propaganda, Publicity Stunts and Lies.
