Kenya Is Rewriting Its Future. Vision 2030 has run the country for 18 years, and it now expires in four. Last month the government published a report to begin replacing it. Here's what it's about and how you can be involved 🇰🇪
You might have heard of the #HousingLevy. What you may not have heard of is that Kenya's government plans to borrow Sh100bn against it without Parliament's approval. Known as securitization, this off-budget borrowing has happened before. Here's why you should care 👇
Edna Mmbali Ombakho, a 31-year-old Master’s student at York St John University, was reported missing on Feb 1 after going for a walk. Her body was found on March 8, after 35 days.

Edna Mmbali Ombakho came to the UK from Kenya to study and reach her goals, only to end up being found dead in a body of water. No wall-to-wall mainstream media coverage. No televised press conference. Just one local news report followed by silence. https://t.co/kyZUqIcM5b
Sad and heartbreaking update;
The Kenyan student who went missing in the UK, Edna Mmbali Ombakho, has been found.
Sadly, her body was discovered in a river on March 8, 2026. Edna, 31, was pursuing her MSc at York St John University (London campus) and lived in Wraysbury, Berkshire.
She was last seen on February 1 after heading out for a walk, something so ordinary that her sudden silence worried everyone. She always stayed in close touch with her family in Kitale, so when the calls stopped, her loved ones knew something wasn't right. The family raised the alarm, and with support from HAKI Africa, the Kenyan diaspora, the Kenya High Commission, and Thames Valley Police, searches and appeals went out widely.
Everyone held onto hope for weeks. Now the news has come, and it's devastating. No official cause of death has been released yet, and police continue their investigation. This has left her family, friends, and the whole community in deep grief.
May She RIP
The president of Kenya @WilliamsRuto is sponsoring two football fans and content creators (Masagara and Useful Idiots) to go watch their respective EPL teams(Manchester United and Arsenal) live. That's okay and commendable but is it fair?
Is it really fair that this is the same country that Angela Okutoyi comes from and represents? A girl who is not just a tennis player but the first Kenyan to win a Grand Slam title, after lifting the Wimbledon junior girls’ doubles trophy has launched a fundraiser aimed at raising Sh10 million to support her transition into a full-time professional tennis career. She has been pleading for help/sponsorship so she can compete without interruptions caused by financial constraints.
You can't tell me that the government doesn't see any of this, but nothing.
Is it fair that this is the same country where 1/2 athletes supposed to represent Kenya at the Winter Olympics (Sabrina Samader) had to pull out because the government failed to compensate and grant her allowances to sustain her throughout the tournament.
Is it really fair?
