This is colonial hogwash. Our people died fighting this logic, from Turkana to Narok to Ukambani. Let Kenyans learn about the Kamba protests of 1938, or about Karambu ole Senteu, and the colonial marginalization of northern Kenya, before believing this bs.

🚨 JUST IN: KRA has officially changed the deadlines for filing annual tax returns in Kenya.

Millions of Kenyans will now have different filing dates depending on their tax status.

📌 New deadlines:

• Nil Returns (no taxable income): By January 31

• Salaried employees (PAYE only): By April 30. Most returns will be pre-filled on iTax - simply verify and submit.

• Businesses & taxpayers with other income (side hustles, consultancy, rental income, etc.): June 30 remains the deadline.

This replaces the old system, where almost everyone filed by June 30.

Please read, save, and share so your family and friends don't miss the new deadlines and end up paying unnecessary penalties. Adios.

@LCFC How do you start such a sentence? Claudio Returns!

Kenyans deserve justice that is transparent, reasoned, and accountable.

Today, I have petitioned the Judicial Service Commission @jsckenya to investigate three Court of Appeal judges who suspended High Court orders blocking the Kenya-US Health Cooperation Framework, but withheld their reasons for doing so until October 2026.

My concern is not that they ruled against me. It is that an immediately enforceable decision was issued without reasons, effectively frustrating a timely appeal to the @THE_SCOK and denying Kenyans meaningful access to justice.

Judicial independence must be protected. But independence and accountability must go hand in hand. No institution is above the Constitution.

Our lack of philosophical curiosity is the reason why half the comments here support the violence, simply because "those are the rules". This is why I love babies, before we start killing their curiosity. Their question to all of you would be why? Why are those the rules?

They've engineered the silence because they fear you more than they fear any judge. An informed public is their worst nightmare. So read the filings. Track the hearings. Ask the hard questions. The @IMFAfrica @KeTreasury, @NAssemblyKE, and every pen that signed these loans must answer.

Some politicians waiting in the wings will not speak because they hope to inherit the same broken system. To those seeking office: this is a test of principle. You cannot inherit a system you refuse to question.

We don't need their headlines to know our rights. The Constitution didn't give us a voice to whisper. The front page isn't theirs to give. It's ours to demand. Stay loud. Stay informed. The law is on our side

Let me tell you about naked mole rats. This live underground throughout their lives. They eat root, tubers and bulbs underground without leaving their burrow. When they come across a tuber that's big, they don't try to finish it at once.

They practice a form of sustainable harvesting.They bore into the tuber and eat little out of the softer interior flesh. They deliberately leave the thin outer epidermis (skin) mostly intact. This keeps the plant alive and healthy, allowing it to continue growing or regenerate new tissue. They'll dig around their tunnels to look for other roots and do this. In a few days, they'll go back to the big tuber, which would have regenerated to eat a little again. They're smart not to overwork the tuber or kill it. They farm and bill with sense.

Do the same wit your successful elder brother.

It’s called the Zeigarnic Effect. The brain will hold onto to a task strongly until it’s complete. It’s the same for how waiters can remember specific orders for different tables. It’s also linked to why you will think more about someone who ghosted you than someone you said goodbye to.

Nike spent ten years trying to break the 2-hour marathon. They named a project after it. They built special shoes. They paid the greatest marathoner alive to chase it. Yesterday, a Kenyan runner finally did it in 1:59:30, wearing Adidas.

Sabastian Sawe used to be a pacemaker. A pacemaker is the kind of runner you hire to set the speed for the first few miles of a race and then drop out before the finish. In January 2022, Sawe got booked to do exactly that at a half-marathon in Spain. He'd never raced more than three miles in his life. He stayed in for the full 13 and won the whole thing. Adidas signed him not long after. Four years later, he became the first human ever to run an official marathon under 2 hours.

Nike, meanwhile, started this whole project in 2016 with a public goal called "Breaking2." They paid for the shoes, the pacemakers, the science labs, and Eliud Kipchoge himself. Kipchoge ran 1:59:40 in Vienna in 2019, but the event was a closed-course exhibition with rotating pacemakers and a pace car projecting a green laser line onto the road. The sport's governing body never recognized it as a real race. It didn't count.

Then Nike's running business cratered. Digital sales fell 26% in one quarter. Their share of footwear sold at Dick's Sporting Goods went from 39% to 32% in five months. On Running grew from $330 million to $1.8 billion between 2020 and 2025. Hoka nearly quadrupled. Roger Federer left Nike for On. Nike's board fired the CEO in October 2024.

Adidas spent the same period building a better shoe. The new Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3 took three years to develop. It weighs 97 grams, about 3.4 ounces, lighter than a deck of cards. A Wall Street Journal-cited study found that wearing a shoe 3.5 ounces lighter saves a runner around 57 seconds across a marathon. Sawe beat the third-place finisher by 58 seconds.

Adidas also did something Nike never did for Kipchoge. They wrote a $50,000 check to the official anti-doping body for track and field, asking it to test Sawe more aggressively than any other runner alive. He got tested 25 times in the two months before last year's Berlin Marathon, and Adidas signed up to fund this for the length of his contract. The logic: the moment Sawe ran a marathon this fast, the world was going to ask if he cheated, especially after his countrywoman Ruth Chepngetich got a 3-year doping ban in 2025. Adidas got out ahead of it.

The shoe retails at $500 and is barely available. Adidas's Adizero shoes won half of all major marathon races in 2024. Yesterday in London, four of the top five finishers wore the same Adidas shoe. Yomif Kejelcha crossed the line 11 seconds after Sawe and also broke 2 hours. The top three runners all beat the previous world record.

Nike's only response was an Instagram post. Three sentences long: "The clock has been reset. There is no finish line." That was their entire public reaction to losing a 10-year moonshot to their biggest rival.

The role of Senators under Article 96:

• Represent counties – Speak for their county at the national level.
• Make laws – Debate and pass Bills that affect counties.
• Oversee funds – Check how money sent to counties is used.
• Share revenue – Help decide how national funds are divided among the 47 counties.
Senators DO NOT run counties or MANAGE services like roads, hospitals, or schools. That’s the Governor’s job. Their POWER is in Parliament: making laws, protecting devolution, and holding the national government accountable on county matters.

KRA is not playing with Naivas.

You know Naivas. Hii tu moja.

It was a fully family owned supermarket giant.

When the time came to cash out, the owners weighed their options.

If they sold the supermarket from Kenya, they would pay insane taxes.

So they went shopping for low tax countries. And Mauritius presented itself. It was irresistible.

- 0% tax on sale of the company.

In 2015, the family registered a shell company in Mauritius. Called it NIL.
Then transferred all their shares to this company.

So Naivas was now 100% owned by a Mauritian company.

To make it even tighter, they added another layer.

They set up a second shell company. Called it GFI.
And transferred all NIL shares to GFI.

So now:
• GFI owns NIL
• NIL owns Naivas Kenya
Proper entanglement. Achana na hiyo yako.

As all this is happening, they are unaware of one dangerous sentence sitting quietly in Kenyan tax law.

It reads:

• Any company managed and controlled from Kenya is a Kenyan resident company.

Then the family went looking for a buyer.

In 2020:
• They sold 30% of the supermarket for 5.2B
• By selling 30% of NIL shares

So:
- Naivas is still owned by NIL
- But NIL now has a new shareholder

And everything happened in Mauritius quietly.
Nothing has changed hands in Kenya trigger anything.

• Deal is closed. 0 tax.

Bahati mbaya, KRA caught wind that Naivas is gone.

Immediately, KRA embarked on a fault finding mission.

In 2022, KRA discovered that:

- The family has always lived in Kenya. Not Mauritius.
- They managed and controlled every single operation of the shell companies from Kenya

They invoked the one dangerous sentence.
You remember it?

• Any company managed and controlled from Kenya, is a Kenyan resident company.

KRA said:
• These Mauritius shell companies are Kenyan
• They must pay tax in Kenya

Tax demanded: 30% of 5.2B. Plus penalties

• Total Bill: 1.8B

Naivas ran to court.

The court looked at it, and sided with KRA.

Family wakaabiwa walipe tax.

Case closed!

Lesson.

• Structure your offshore company properly.

• Or KRA will structure it for you.
