The new currency debate continues to elicit different reactions among Kenyans and leaders across the Political divide. While some leaders and Kenyans have welcomed the new notes unveiled during the Madaraka Day celebrations, others are compeletely against them.

Some people are even reading political malice in them. Former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale argued that the new notes are aimed at frustrating DP William Ruto who has been giving handsome donations to the church week in, week out.

Khalwale’s sentiments seem to have been echoed by Economist David Ndii who has said that William Ruto should be left to keep his Loot.

According to Ndii, the change of notes and the rule on the 1000 Shillings Notes is not a war on corruption or money laundering but a political fallout of thieves.

“Let Ruto keep his loot. This is not a war on corruption or money laundering, it is a political fallout of thieves. Only difference is Uhuru owns a bank to launder his loot. He who seeks justice must do so with clean hands. Uhuru’s hands are not clean,” Said Ndii.

With the above statement also aimed at President Kenyatta, Ndii is clearly telling Kenyans that the purpoted war on corruption is all fake and just aimed at a few individuals like William Ruto.

Ndii, who was part of the team that drafted chapter 12 of the Kenyan Constitution has also confirmed that during the drafting process, they could not as a team agree on the faces of heroes that deserved to be on the currency and as such, they did not settle on any.

He has therefore insisted that having Kenyatta’s image on the notes is deliberate mischief, impunity and contempt of the people which according to him, are the hallmarks of Uhuru.

According to Article 231(4) Constitution of Kenya, “Notes and coins issued by the Central Bank of Kenya may bear images that depict or symbolize Kenya or an aspect of Kenya but shall not bear the portrait of any individual.”
