Kenyans have poked holes into the government's service delivery after American YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson alias Mr Beast built 52 dams in the country.

The famous YouTuber embarked on a mission to build 100 wells in the continent with 52 being in Kenya. He was shocked at the dirty water school-going children are forced to drink.   

According to the content creator, such projects do not require a lot of money from the government, just people willing to help.

He urged well-wishers to continue donating funds to help construct more wells and undertake more projects to better humanity.

"These 100 wells we built in Africa will change a lot of lives but definitely not enough. That is why we need your help," he stated.

Once the well is dug, the water is transferred to tanks on the water towers to provide clean and easily accessible water to the locals.

Donaldson revealed that the continental project took over eight months to complete.

The content creator with over 200 million subscribers on YouTube shared the journey showing the before and after of the projects.

While in the country, he also built a bridge in a local village. The bridge was in bad condition which became worse during heavy rains, hindering movement.

He also donated computers, shelves, books,  footballs, whiteboards, and projectors to primary schools in the country.

The YouTuber also went to Zimbabwe, and Cameroon to build more wells and change the lives of the locals.   

Commenting on the matter, Kenyans seized the opportunity to compare Mr Beast's projects to those ones launched by local politicians.

A section of Kenyans complained that politicians use more resources to launch projects rather than the total amount spent on the projects themselves.

They also expressed fears some local leaders may take credit for Donaldson's projects.

"Someone keep an eye on the leaders, they may go to launch these wells," one commented.

Some recalled the instance of Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki when he was Tharaka Nithi Senator when he launched a mud classroom after arriving in a chopper.

Others also trolled President William Ruto who earlier launched dirty tap water in Kirinyaga and recommissioning old projects.

"Mr Beast has done what our leaders should have done long ago. Kenya alone cries of water shortage yet there is a solution," a Kenyan commented.
