Disenfranchised Party of National Unity (PNU) Suppliers

Open Letter to H.E Hon. Mwai Kibaki CGH M.P. President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Kenya

Your Excellency, we write this appeal to you, as a measure of last resort, having exhausted all other means and avenues of getting our payments settled. As ordinary Kenyans, it is understandably difficult to get your direct audience to air our pleas. We have tried severally to use intermediaries to present our case, to no avail. 7 months later, and many broken promises after, we have no one else to turn to who can bring the matter to you in truth and unaltered. Hence, this open letter.

During the last general elections, we were engaged by the then Party's executive director Mr. Lee Karuri to provide various critical goods and services for the campaign including Hired vehicles, T-Shirts, Printed Registers, Caps, Badges, Banners, Lesos, Billboards, flyers e.t.c. This was in full knowledge of party officials who include the Chairman Mr. Jasper Nyaboga and the Secretary General, Mr. Albert Kamau.

However, since December 24th last year to date, we, the undersigned, are yet to receive our payments in full. We have invoices and LPOs signed by Mr. Karuri detailing how much we were paid and how much is outstanding.

As we make this appeal, we have used all known avenues and made countless pleas to demand for settlement of these debts but all our efforts have been in vain. On several occasions, we have been advised that our cheques are ready but nothing has been forthcoming.

Your Excellency, we are young entrepreneurs who believe in Kenya and have faith in your government. We are honest Kenyan taxpayers out to make our daily bread to sustain our young families and assist in nation building. However, because some officials are keen on taking away from us the little that belongs to us, we now face financial ruin.

Some amongst us suppliers are facing bankruptcy, others have been evicted with their families from their homes, others have been forced to close down their businesses or lost their offices and worst of all, some children have been forced to stay home for lack of school fees.

We are now fully aware that we are on the verge of losing our hard-earned investments and the ensuing ruin to our families and businesses is real. Already, we have missed out on many opportunities e.g. in the Stock Exchange, on account of these unpaid debts.

Our lives have been put on mortgage, borrowed time, and we are now appealing to you, our President, to come to our aid. We used all our energy and resources to supply goods and services in good faith and without delay, for the benefit of the party. Now we appeal for an extension of the same goodwill, to speedily resolve this matter.

We pray to the Almighty GOD for your continued blessings of good health and wisdom as you continue to steer our beloved country Kenya, to greater heights.
