Wednesday, May 20, 2026 - Social media has erupted after renowned X personality, Francis Gaitho, revealed that Roads and Transport Principal Secretary, Joseph Mbugua, is flown to and from his residence daily using a helicopter belonging to the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS).
In a post shared on X, Gaitho claimed that the PS uses the
chopper for his daily commute instead of travelling by road like ordinary
Kenyans.
“Joseph Mbugua, PS of Roads, flown daily by chopper owned by
KWS. Imagine that: a Principal Secretary in charge of roads who doesn’t even
use the roads he is supposed to fix,” Gaitho wrote and shared a video.
The claims have sparked sharp reactions online, with Kenyans
questioning why a senior Government official responsible for roads would avoid
using the same infrastructure many citizens rely on daily.
Critics argued that the luxury displayed by the PS reflects
the disconnect between top Government officials and the struggles faced by
ordinary wananchi dealing with poor roads, traffic congestion and rising living
costs.
