The Kenya Revenue Authority (Amendment) Bill of 2026 is out!
Unlike what we saw with the Central Bank of Kenya (Amendment) Bill of 2026 (see quoted tweet), this one is principally a clean up exercise.
We can see deletion of reference to the Standards Levy Order, 1990 & the Sugar Act (repealed). In their place, we will now have the Standards (Standards Levy)
Order of 2025 (Legal Notice 136/2025) & the Sugar Act, 2024.
The word “ex-officio” with regard to the Board of the Revenue Authority is also being deleted.
Magubane paid a heavy price for his resistance photojournalism. He was arrested multiple times, had his nose broken by police for refusing to hand over his film, and in 1974, was put into solitary confinement for 586 days. When he was released, the regime banned him from taking photos for five years. Undeterred, he broke his banning orders to cover the historic 1976 Soweto Uprising.
I realised it, grieved it, took a pen and my diary and wrote everything down brainstormed a future plan envisioned where I see myself and spent hours planning. Completed 06 courses in 02 months- interned learned and paved my path. You have to do it. Realisation is only first step
The best exercise for the brain you’ve probably never seen.
According to Michael J. Lavery’s book “Whole Brain Power”, using a 4-pound sledge hammer to bounce a golf ball up and down dramatically amplifies both your neurological and physical demands
Massive Central Nervous System (CNS) Activation
The sheer weight of a 4-lb sledge forces the CNS to fire at a much higher intensity.
To keep a lively golf ball bouncing on a heavy, rigid piece of steel, your brain has to send incredibly powerful, rapid-fire signals to your muscles.
This level of resistance forces maximum motor unit recruitment, teaching your nervous system to fire more efficiently under tension.
Elite Grip and Forearm Strength
Lavery heavily emphasizes the link between hand/grip strength and brain health, viewing the hands as the direct external extension of the central nervous system.
Bouncing a ball requires a loose, reactive wrist to absorb and redirect impact, but holding a 4-lb hammer requires immense isometric grip strength.
Managing that weight leverages extreme stress onto the forearms, wrists, and fingers, building dense, functional grip strength that standard lifting rarely touches.
Accelerated Neuroplasticity via Forced Focus
With a light hammer, you can cheat the movement or rely on casual reflexes.
With a 4-lb sledge, there is zero room for error.
The high penalty for a missed bounce (the heavy hammer dropping or completely throwing off your rhythm) forces the brain into a state of hyper-vigilance and deep cognitive focus.
This intense concentration triggers a higher release of acetylcholine and dopamine, the exact neurotransmitters required to stimulate neuroplasticity and forge new neural pathways.
Overcoming Hemispheric Dominance (Ambidexterity)
When you transition the 4-lb sledge to your non-dominant hand, the challenge scales exponentially.
Because the non-dominant hemisphere of your brain isn't used to managing that much weight combined with fine motor precision, the drill forces rapid communication across the corpus callosum (the bridge connecting the left and right sides of the brain).
It quickly exposes and corrects deep-seated muscular and neurological imbalances between your two sides.
Cortical Mapping and Joint Stability
Holding a heavy weight at the end of a lever arm requires all the stabilizing micro-muscles in your wrist, elbow, and shoulder rotator cuff to fire simultaneously.
This builds incredible joint integrity while expanding your brain’s "cortical map"—its internal blueprint of where your body is in space (proprioception).
Benefits:
- Maximum Central Nervous System Recruitment
- Dense Grip and Forearm Strength
- Forced Cognitive Focus & Neuroplasticity
- Rapid Dual-Hemisphere Brain Activation
- Enhanced Proprioception & Joint Integrity
- Growth Hormone (GH) and Testosterone
- “ Fountain of Youth" Endorphins
- Dopamine and Acetylcholine
- Insulin Sensitivity and Blood Sugar Regulation

I’m seeking a good gyna. Any suggestions ?
I feel like this PCOS is taking a toll on my body really fast and I’m slowly losing myself. Wdym I’m having my periods back to back like this ?😭😭 I’m tired 😭😭I need rest.
Okay, Documentary Twitter. Here are ten of my favourite YouTube documentaries with links. I tend to avoid AI videos because human beings aren't meant to consume AI slop.

The name of the author is Walter Rodney, he was assassinated on June 13, 1980, at age 38 in Georgetown, Guyana. In 2016, commission of inquiry concluded it was a state-organized assassination. Whoever questions imperialism loses their lives!
@WelBeast@KarauriR@orengbonny Am I the only one who this title has reminded of the @Arsenal screamer against Bournemouth by @ReissNelson9 in the 97th Minute? We have really come a long way. We are reaping now.
I ask myself what a #PeriodFriendlyWorld looks like and all I can think about right now is how to end Period Poverty. A lot of girls miss school because they cannot afford sanitary towels and also do not have assistance when facing Period pains.
Happy to be attending the MENSTRUAL HEALTH AND HYGEINE SUMMIT 2026 by Kenya Works Foundation.
Menstrual health and hygiene is a conversation we all need to have. It is not gender specific #PeriodFriendlyWorld
