I have formally written to @KNECKenya seeking information on the procurement and printing of the 2026 KCSE, KJSEA and KPSEA examination materials.
This is not a request for examination papers or security-sensitive information. It is a demand for transparency on the use of public funds, including the procurement method, bidders, evaluation, successful contractor, contract value, payments, ownership, capacity, subcontracting and tax compliance.
National security cannot become a blanket excuse for withholding information that the law requires public bodies to disclose.
Kenyans have a right to know how public resources are used. Accountability protects, rather than undermines, the integrity of our national examinations. #ReKe

🚨🇮🇱 BREAKING: International Court of
Justice declares "Israel" illegitimate and
ordered its withdrawal from Palestine.
Repost this if you want Netanyahu arrested.
I’ve been screaming about this for months, and almost nobody listened.🚩
This week in Parliament, Kiarie finally said out loud what many of us from North Eastern and Meru have known in our bones: toxic and nuclear waste was dumped on our land during the Moi years… and it’s still killing us.
I tested miraa. Found carcinogenic pesticides.
We tried to test the water from the suspected dump sites. Kenya had no capacity. We had to send samples all the way to Vietnam and Europe.
Now the same poison is being mentioned in the House.
If that waste is still buried under our feet, why is it still there? Why are our people still drinking it, farming on it, and burying their children because of it?
Cancer is eating our families. Livestock are dropping. Whole villages are suffering while the powerful stay quiet.
I refused to stay quiet then.
Countries like France should stop lecturing the world about “human rights” and international law. The hypocrisy is blatant and embarrassing.
Your backing of Israel’s genocide in Gaza—and aggression against Iran—has destroyed whatever moral high ground you imagined you had.
🇪🇬 ▪️ El juez miró al hombre que había disparado contra el presidente egipcio Anwar el-Sadat y le preguntó con calma:
—¿Por qué lo mataste?
— Porque era seglar, respondió el asesino.
El juez frunció el ceño.
— ¿Qué significa “seglar”?
El hombre dudó un segundo.
— No lo sé.
…….
▪️ En otro juicio, el acusado había intentado asesinar al escritor Naguib Mahfouz.
— ¿Por qué lo apuñalaste?
—preguntó el juez.
— Porque escribió una novela contra la religión.
—¿La leíste?
— No.
…….
▪️ En una tercera sala, otro hombre enfrentaba cargos por asesinar al intelectual Farag Fouda.
—¿Por qué lo mataste?
— Porque no tenía fe.
—¿Cómo lo sabes?
— Está en sus libros.
— ¿En cuál?
Silencio.
— No lo sé. No los he leído.
— ¿Por qué no los leíste?
El hombre bajó la cabeza.
— No sé leer ni escribir.
…….
▫️ En los tres casos, el patrón era el mismo.
-Se mataba por ideas que no se entendían.
-Se condenaba por palabras que no se habían leído.
-Se odiaba por conceptos que no se sabían definir.
No era convicción. Era repetición.
No era fe. Era eco.
No era certeza. Era obediencia ciega.
La violencia no nació del pensamiento. Nació de la ausencia de él.
El odio no se propaga a través del conocimiento. Se propaga donde el conocimiento no llega. Y cada vez que una sociedad renuncia a educar no crea ignorantes, crea armas humanas que no saben por qué disparan, pero están dispuestas a hacerlo. Ese es el precio invisible de la ignorancia. Y siempre lo paga alguien que no hizo nada para merecerlo.

THE PROPOSED MANDATORY ANNUAL VEHICLE INSPECTION CHARGES ARE INSENSITIVE & UNFAIR!!
Fellow Kenyans,
The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has announced that, effective July 1, private vehicles older than four years will be subjected to mandatory annual inspections at a cost of KSh2,000 per vehicle, while motorcycles will also attract compulsory inspection charges.
Road safety is a legitimate national objective. Every Kenyan wants safer roads, fewer accidents and vehicles that meet acceptable safety standards. However, public policy must be evidence-based, proportionate, transparent and sensitive to the economic realities facing citizens.
The proposed inspection regime fails that test.
Kenyans are already burdened by high fuel prices, multiple taxes and levies, rising insurance premiums, expensive spare parts, parking charges, licensing fees and an increasing cost of living. Introducing another compulsory annual payment without demonstrating its necessity places yet another financial burden on households and businesses that are already under immense pressure.
We therefore call upon the Government to immediately suspend the implementation of this directive and subject it to comprehensive public review.
Specifically, Kenyans deserve clear answers to the following questions:
How many active private vehicles will be affected by this policy?
How much revenue does the Government expect to collect annually?
What evidence demonstrates that annual inspections for vehicles older than four years will significantly reduce road accidents?
What proportion of road crashes in Kenya is attributable to mechanical defects, compared with human error, poor road engineering and traffic congestion?
Does NTSA currently have sufficient inspection capacity to serve millions of motorists efficiently without creating long delays and opportunities for corruption?
What safeguards have been put in place to ensure that this programme does not become another avenue for rent-seeking and harassment of motorists?
Road safety cannot be reduced to the collection of inspection fees.
If Government is genuinely committed to saving lives, it must address the major causes of road accidents comprehensively. These include reckless driving, speeding, drunk driving, poor road design, inadequate road maintenance, weak enforcement of existing traffic laws and traffic congestion. Vehicle condition is only one part of a much larger road safety strategy.
Good governance requires transparency.
Before imposing mandatory costs on citizens, Government must publish the data, the policy analysis, the cost-benefit assessment and the implementation plan that justify such a far-reaching decision.
This is also a constitutional issue. Public power must always be exercised reasonably, proportionately and in the public interest. Citizens should never be treated merely as sources of revenue.
We therefore urge Parliament to subject this policy to immediate scrutiny and require NTSA to table all supporting evidence before implementation proceeds.
Jubilee Party stands firmly with Kenyan motorists, transport operators, small businesses and ordinary families who continue to shoulder an ever-growing burden of taxes, fees and levies.
Kenya's economic recovery will not be achieved by continually imposing new charges on already struggling citizens. It will be achieved by growing the economy, creating jobs, fighting corruption, improving public services and restoring confidence between citizens and the State.
We call upon all Kenyans to reject this policy in its current form and to demand a transparent, evidence-based and affordable road safety framework that protects both lives and livelihoods.
Road safety is essential. Excessive financial extraction is not.

@TheStarKenya The omission of oral literature from parts of the secondary school curriculum has contributed to a gradual decline in the appreciation of African cultural norms and values. Consequently, many young people are increasingly influenced by foreign cultures,

@MikeSonko Huruma Mosque is under threat of grabbing the land belongs to the Muslim Umma (community) to be replaced by affordable housing. Mheshimiwa kindly intervene
@HonAdenDuale As a teacher the previous Minet/Aon was far much better our comprehesive insurance cover has no limit for outpatient but with SHA it has limit and we have to go deep into our pockets sad scenario
@citizentvkenya Civil Servant cover is comprehensive, it's so frustrating when you get to the hospital and told no service because your out patient balance has depleted
@citizentvkenya Ask CS Under what circumstances can the outpatient benefit for public service be exhausted so quickly?
We are not getting out patient services for the last two months we are digging deep into our pockets for medical services
