Since Kenya became multiparty in 1992, political fraudsters have developed cottage industry of registering political parties that reflect the trending catchy phrases or developing name of a movement. Then for a price, sell the Parties to the real owners. Then we don’t hear of these political traders again. It is like they disappear to the night!

Registrar of Political Parties has enabled & grown this whoring by letting unknown charlatans register parties. Shouldn’t there be a minimum requirements for one to register a party? Shouldn’t the Registrar notify the public & invite objections to an intended registration? And as the Registrar lives in Kenya, shouldn’t she be conscientious & inform those publicly associated with the intended name?

Babu has done a wise move to limit Linda Mwananchi rallies across the country to concentrate on his Nairobi bid. This will leave Sifuna with his village mates & Pauleen to the rallies, you’ve also given Orengo cold shoulder, now you’ll feel the power they held in that movt.

Caleb Amisi's PM Party Youth Wing reacts after Babu Owino revealed he has his own party: "Guys, how comes everything that Caleb said is coming to light several months later. Babu has finally vindicated all that Caleb said.

So, Babu and caleb started parties long before Baba died. Caleb said Baba gave him permission to start PM Party. Babu just bought his from Kivutha Kibwana after many unsuccessful attempts before.
When Caleb said he founded Linda Mwananchi, many have called him names and branded his good party a mole. When Caleb said he founded Linda Mwananchi, many have caled him names and branded his good party a mole.

So, it seems youth are being lied to by Linda Mwananchi.
The person who had the vision n idea was caleb amisi. He founded a party for Sifuna to vie on and was founded from scratch with ideology.
Other Linda Mwananchi leaders are just moving around looking for dead parties to buy.

Linda Mwananchi must go back to original founder Caleb Amisi. Reasons they are not understanding the movement. If Sifuna had listened to Caleb, he would be a party leader and a presidential candidate now.

Natembeya's TAWE movement failed. He tried to grab DAP-K from Eugine Wamalwa but failed. He's now hijacking what Caleb started for Sifuna. He has come into Linda Mwananchi and chased away Babu and now Linda Mwananhi is going to be a shell of it self.

Natembeya wants Sifuna to lose friends presidency so that he vies in 2032. Together with Wamboka, they are the reasons Linda Mwananchi is collapsing. They want Sifuna to be a Bukusu kingpin to help them win local seats.

Caleb the prophet.

Sh102.4M. A trusted friend of 15-20 years. A forex deal that was supposed to deliver dollars in 24 hours
🌻The @BidcoGroup owner @vimalafrica has told a Nairobi court how he wired Sh102,437,500 to Bee N Bee Kenya Ltd in May 2023 — introduced by former @CMAKenya chairman @Nick Nesbitt — expecting $745,000 back at Sh137.50
🌻The dollars never fully came. Only $300,000 trickled in over the following weeks. $445,000 (~Sh61M) is still unaccounted for.
🌻Shah's own words say it all: "I trusted him because he's a friend, not only a friend, but also an acquaintance in business." That trust is now the subject of a criminal fraud trial, with Nesbitt and UK national Boytorun Mehmet Bulent facing conspiracy charges.
🌻The lesson for every business owner chasing forex in a dollar-scarce economy: due diligence doesn't stop at a familiar face — verify the counterparty, the paper trail, and the money, every time.
🌻It all started in 2023 … #BidcoCase #NickNesbitt #VimalBhinjiShah

Happy 90th BIRTHDAY Dr. John Khaminwa

Few lawyers can light a candle to you. Few Kenyans have your courage. You have taken on causes that no other lawyer will. You have put the Rule of Law above monetary gain.

Many years ago when I was a rookie lawyer, our paths crossed for the first time. At the height of Presidential Daniel Arap Moi suppression of political dissent, 6 Kikuyus were arrested & charged with stealing guns from Ndeiya Chiefs Camp in Limuru to overthrow Moi! These were simple & poor villagers that were picked to be sacrificed by the system to deter opposition to Moi! The Ndeiya 6 instructed you & me to represent them. Despite State pressure, the Court was courageous & acquitted them. Our mutual respect remained from then upto now.

The system may not reward you now. The Law Society hasn’t made sure you are made Senior Counsel. Typical of Kenya, when you are gone, the Country will even lower its FLAG for you. The legal fraternity that hasn’t given you your rightful place in the pantheon of our greatest legal minds will fall over each other praising you.

As for me, I give you my flowers now. I became a lawyer partly because I used to read in newspapers about you when I was in primary school. You stand out ALONE as a lawyer who gave his Ability, Talent, Time & Courage without asking to be paid! You could have been a Billionaire. You chose Justice instead.

The Bible says, he who is given much, much is expected. You gave us all.

HAPPY 90th BIRTHDAY MY FRIEND!

The new appointed & founder CEO of the National Infrastructure Fund, James Mworia (@MworiaJ) afforded us a good laugh at the Africa Capital Week 2026 (@AfCW2026) when he presented a physical copy of the Fund's statement to dispel fears that the money from partial divestitures from Kenya Pipeline & Safaricom were never credited to the account.

Mworia says he is banking on the country's fast growing domestic capital pools, notably the now > Kes 3.0 trillion held by pension funds, to unlock financing for infrastructure needs.

My question to him was how he will navigate the asset-liability (mis)match headache that many fund managers grapple with given the nature of infrastructure as an asset class.

He makes the following points:

· His idea for circumventing asset-liability (mis)match concerns is creating a sub-fund within the National Infrastructure Fund (i.e. the NIF Infrastructure Development Fund) that can then be listed at the Nairobi Securities Exchange

· The listing of the NIF Infrastructure Development Fund on the bourse will then address the liquidity headache because it will allow investors to come in & exist

· The listed NIF Infrastructure Development Fund will also help address the ease with which investors can come into strategic national infrastructure undertakings without evoking the risk of being deemed to have made entry via the back route (i.e. because a listed vehicle is then open to all investors)

Could Edwin Sifuna and Ndindi Nyoro be Ruto’s 2027 “Matiba Trap”? Without Matiba’s knowledge, consent or even suspicion, the Moi intelligence printed and distributed Matiba’s posters, hoisted billboards, ferried crowds to his meetings and bankrolled Martin Shikuku to bolster him. Moi won. Matiba came seond as a divided oppositon lost. God forbade.

When I grow, I would like to be like Boni Khalwale.

Boni Khalwale built bungalows for each of his four wives, all within the same compound.

He then built a fifth mansion for himself. He stays there alone whenever he needs some private time to reflect on his personal life. No wife is allowed in the mansion; only his children may visit.

When he wants to spend time with one of his wives, he simply walks from his kingly bungalow to the house of whichever wife his heart chooses that particular day.
