NAIROBI,Kenya Oct 27 – The High Court in Kajiado has ruled that personal branding of projects funded by taxpayers violates Kenya’s constitutional principles on the use of public resources, in a case challenging the use of public infrastructure for political self-promotion.
The petition, filed by Shadrack Wambui through Sheria Mtaani against Kajiado North MP Onesmus Nguro Ngogoyo, challenged the alleged use of the legislator’s name, image and political slogans on publicly funded projects.
Wambui argued that roads, schools and dispensaries had been turned into personal political billboards, undermining accountability and the constitutional principles governing the management of public resources.
