肯亚的150万元安全论坛花费705万元, 毫无结果, Kenya’s $15M security forums cost $705M with no proven results, sparking backlash over waste and political motives.

肯尼亚内务内阁秘书穆尔科曼(Kipchumba Murkomen)在全国47个州举行了全国的Jukwaa la Usalama安全论坛,引发了对其高昂成本的批评 — — 据报道,每场活动至少花费1500万先令,每场活动6个月总共花费7.05亿先令 — — 由内政部的保密投票资助。 Kenya’s Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen’s nationwide Jukwaa la Usalama security forums, held across 47 counties, have sparked criticism over their high cost—reportedly at least Sh15 million per event, totaling Sh705 million in six months—funded through the Ministry of Interior’s confidential vote. 支出包括旅费、住宿费、直升机费、餐饮费和与会者津贴,其中一次内罗毕会议为2 000多人提供膳食。 Expenses included travel, accommodation, helicopters, catering, and attendee stipends, with one Nairobi session feeding over 2,000 people. 批评者,包括立法者和安全分析家,认为论坛缺乏切实的安全成果,更像政治品牌,在未来选举之前提升穆尔科曼的国家形象,从打击盗匪和偷牛行为所需的情报引导战略中挪用资金。 Critics, including lawmakers and security analysts, argue the forums lack tangible security outcomes, serve more as political branding efforts to boost Murkomen’s national profile ahead of future elections, and divert funds from intelligence-led strategies needed to combat banditry and cattle raids. 尽管有公众参与的框架,但安全方面没有明显改善的报告,使人们对透明度和有效使用公共资金表示关切。 Despite public engagement framing, no measurable improvements in security have been reported, raising concerns about transparency and the efficient use of public funds.
