There isn’t a luckier person than this guy here. He’s a very lucky boy. His name is Davis Chirchir. You’ll never hear him say anything. He’s the current CS for Transport. Before that, he was CS for Energy & Petroleum, he did nothing during his time, came up with no policy, no TV interviews no nothing.
In 2024, Ruto dismissed the entire cabinet, him too. He said nothing. He later was reinstated and this time moved to Roads & Transport Ministry, he has been in it doing nothing. Since 2025 till now, we have had very many fatal accidents, no one has seen him say a thing. He has never come up with any policy or anything for road safety, he doesn’t even go with the President to launch new roads. We recently had Matatu strike in Nairobi that paralyzed transport & vehicles were burnt, he said nothing.
We’re currently having floods in Nairobi and most parts, his ministry is directly responsible for the floods due to poor drainage in most major roads like jogoo road, Mombasa road, Thika road & some roads are impassable but he has said nothing.
He doesn’t go to TV interviews, even during cabinet meetings he says nothing.
