- Sell statehouses/lodges: I know that baba jimmy only uses two of those. I can't recall him at Nakuru and rarely at the Kakamega and Sagana ones. Why not sell them? Alternatively free up this prime land in Nakuru and the other 2 for some of the IDPs. As for Momba's state house. Kibz already has a house in Nyali. The statehouse is on prime coast land which some hotel mogul would want to buy.
- Reduce the motorcades: The oldman travels in a motorcade of like 40 cars. Stupid because it holds up traffic for 30+ minutes (wasted economy production). Sell and leave a realistic and common sense 10 car motorcade. The sale (30*1m per car) will at Ksh35k per household, build homes for like a 1,000 IDP households. Add a similar trim on each of the ministers and hey presto, we have IDPs resettled.
- Fire Saitoti, Makwere and outsource their ministries to some of the idle ministers-what Dalmas do all day?
The above excludes all the other obvious ideas that if this was a listening government, would easily go thru. Reducing the cabinent to a managable 20 is a no-brainer. Taxing MPs is a no-brainer.

Spending, not revenue is the problem in GoK: Failure to reform government is the root of the problem, and where reform has been done it is problematic, with duplicating new bureaucratic arms (KACC/NASCOP, PPOA/KACC, REA/KPLC/Kengen/GDC), billions spent on new vehicles, duplicating ministries (new brand/stationery/office spaces/furniture which each cabinet reshuffle) with officers a-- producing their own glossy reports, organizing conferences, consuming imprests, new offices, (PM, first lady) etc.
Banks, if I was to offer you a job where it never mattered what you did, you could set your own salary, it'd take a high degree of integrity not to go the way these guys have gone...
