Cyprian Is Nyakundi has once again pulled back the curtain on the dirty dealings happening right at the heart of power in Kenya. In a bold post that has left many Kenyans shocked, Nyakundi exposed how Raymond Omollo’s troll firm is running its operations straight from the Office of the President.
This is not some small side hustle. It is a full-blown propaganda machine sucking up huge amounts of public money while ordinary Kenyans struggle to put food on the table.
Raymond Omollo, the Principal Secretary for Internal Security and National Administration, is supposed to protect the country and serve the people.
Instead, reports point to his network using the highest office in the land to run a troll army that insults critics, spreads propaganda, and attacks anyone who dares question the government.
Nearly 30 million shillings is released every month for this operation. That is taxpayer money.
Your money and mine.
Money that could build schools, buy medicine for hospitals, or fix our broken roads. But instead, it funds online bullies and fake news peddlers. Who is approving these payments?
Who is pocketing the lion’s share while the actual bloggers get pennies? These questions demand answers, not silence.
This scandal drags the dignity of the Office of the President through the mud. The President’s office should stand for leadership, transparency, and service to the nation.
It should not become a wash wash centre for political propaganda and personal vendettas. When senior officials turn government buildings into bases for shadowy communication ops, it shows how low things have sunk.
The troll wing is reportedly headed by Nge’ndo Murugu, who has faced accusations of bullying those under her. This kind of toxic environment does not build a strong Kenya. It breeds fear, division, and waste.
Kenya is facing serious problems. Young people have no jobs. Families cannot afford basic needs. Corruption eats away at every sector.
Yet here we are, watching millions flow into troll farms that produce nothing but insults and lies. What public value does this deliver?
Beyond attacking critics and pushing government narratives, what exactly are these people achieving for the ordinary mwananchi?
Nothing. Zero.
They create more anger and distrust instead of solutions.
Omollo has a background as a technocrat with degrees in statistics and experience in development work. Many once saw him as a quiet professional focused on data and public service.
But this exposure paints a different picture. It raises serious doubts about accountability at the highest levels of internal security. If the man in charge of national administration cannot keep his own operations clean, how can Kenyans trust the security apparatus?
The Office of the President housing such activities sends a dangerous signal that rules do not apply to those close to power.
