Uhuru’s office alleges denial of state benefits, mistreatment

Former Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta’s office has launched a blistering attack on the government, accusing it of failing to provide the promised benefits and resources, and allegedly mistreating the former head of state.

In a scathing statement, Kanze Dena, Kenyatta’s former spokesperson, alleged that the government has not furnished the former president’s office, provided new vehicles, or renewed contracts for key staff members, contrary to legal provisions outlined in the Presidential Benefits Act.

Dena stated that while Kenyatta has received theKES 48 million sendoff package and a monthly pension of KES 1.6 million and allowance of KES 1 million, he is yet to receive the new vehicles and a fully furnished office as mandated by law.

“Vehicles allocated to the former president for personal use were not new. They were in fact the cars that were part of his motorcade when he left during his inauguration ceremony,” Dena said.

Furthermore, Dena claimed that the government had blocked fuel cards provided to Kenyatta’s office since March 2023, hampering the office’s operations. She also alleged that the government had withdrawn drivers and bodyguards assigned to former First Lady Mama Ngina Kenyatta.

“The statement that the former president enjoys a fully furnished and maintained office of his choice, provided by the government, isn’t correct. The matter of the office has not been addressed or resolved to this date,” Dena stated.

Dena alleged that the government had refused to renew contracts for herself and George Kariuki, the Secretary of Administration. This move, she claimed, has forced Kenyatta to fund the office operations from his personal resources.

The former spokesperson further alleged that the government had withdrawn staff members from Kenyatta’s office through phone calls and intimidation tactics.

Kenyatta’s office has vehemently distanced itself from the budget tabled concerning their operations, claiming they were not consulted and do not know the source of the budget figures presented.
