President Uhuru Kenyatta during the swearing-in ceremony in 2013. [Photo| Reuters]Kenyans have expressed mixed reactions following the million of shillings that will be spent in swearing-in president-elect Uhuru Kenyatta.The government on Friday announced that Uhuru's inauguration slated for Tuesday, November 28, will cost Sh300 million. The Assumption of Office of the President Committee organising the inauguration ceremony chaired by Joseph Kinyua defended the amount budget terming it as modest and "only adequate".@jacktone_oguso: Joseph Kinyua , if you put Ksh.300m in a fixed deposit account in a leading Sacco or bank you get Ksh.36,000,000 at 12% coupon rate.Enough to pay over 1700 teachers!@GMotary: Why should an Inauguration ceremony cost Ksh 300,000,000 ?? And You still ask me why i stand with NASA? Joseph Kinyua just answered that.... Only their Interest matters... Not Yours@obegimalack: Is Kenya celebrating a new president why spend 300 million shillings in country where public debt is at 4.4 trillion shillings, unemployment rate at 39.1%, there is also looting by same gov't, Joseph Kinyua should tell us.@NebLordFrancis: " Joseph Kinyua" 300M is enough to build a sea in our village and employ fishermen to catch fish for selling outside the country..@thekshsavage: Nasa complaining about 300m swearing in. Remember when you boycotted a 13.8B election that was held on your request? GiveJoseph Kinyua a break.
@polasomsafi: What more than the presence of Chief Justice Maraga and a Bible is required for the swearing in of the illegitimate president?Joseph Kinyua saying that 300 Million shillings budget set aside for President Uhuru Kenyatta's inauguration on Tuesday is a mockery to the people.
@samkem_: The 300 million budget by Joseph kinyua is justified.. They will use it to buy teargas, bullets and fill the police water cannons to disperse, kill and maim NASA supporters on Tuesday.. We shall be waiting for you.. Come baby come
@CollinsKhaniri: I stand with Joseph Kinyua 's budget. You people have forgotten that it is the President of a country being sworn in. 300M is not much money
@CaptainTjemo: Joseph Kinyua God is watching you keenly. Dont try to steal even a shilling-niko rada na wewe hapa kwa hapa. @UKenyatta hata kura haikufika 10m votes so spend less than that.
@Vik_Jakabuoch: Joseph Kinyua we are used to you people stealing our hard-earned tax money. Just say 200million is for uthamaki,then 100million to 'close our eyes', nobody will come after you becauae that is peanuts.
@Ngetich_kE: All Uhuru needs is a bible and a pen!! He is a sitting president for heaven's sake!! He has got everything already!! What on earth is 300M meant for?? Joseph Kinyua
