Former Kenyan Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka has submitted a detailed request to State House, seeking approval for a wide range of items for his office.
The itemized list , includes kitchen appliances, gardening tools, and an extensive array of stationery.
In a memo penned by Kalonzo’s personal assistant, James Matiki, the request covers a vast array of items.
For the kitchen, the list includes an electric cooker, two gas cookers, two microwaves, and numerous pots, pans, and serving utensils.
The garden supplies range from shovels and gloves to sprinklers, pangas, and wheelbarrows.
The stationery request is equally extensive, covering items from A3, A4, and A5 envelopes to highlighters, permanent markers, and even power extensions.
The sheer volume of items has sparked debate, with some questioning the necessity of such a comprehensive list for a former vice president’s office.
Kalonzo’s request has raised questions about the appropriate level of support and resources provided to former senior government officials, and whether the requested items are justified or excessive.
The debate is likely to continue as the State House reviews the submission and determines the appropriate response.
