Pro tip for youths eyeing coffee: China’s zero-tariff window for Kenyan exports runs to 30 April 2028. 1.4bn consumers, no import duty. But zero duty ≠ zero compliance licensing, contracts and payment terms still bite. Involve an Advocate at every step, or the concrete jungle will school you.

#IfikieJunet — I’ve deliberately held back on Sifuna’s rural house because, frankly, it’s a non-issue dressed up as scandal. Yes, he was born in Bungoma. Yes, he’s now Senator of Nairobi.
But where a man builds his family home has never been the test of public integrity — how he acquired the means to build it is.
Let those baying for his blood ask themselves: if @JunetMohamed — who stands accused of looting billions from NYS and skimming handouts collected in Raila’s name — ever put up a 20-storey mansion in Suna West, would that be the scandal, or would it be how he paid for it? Investment choices are a personal, private matter.
It’s the source of wealth that Kenyans must interrogate, not the postcode. Not even the size of the house!
History settled this argument long before Sifuna was born. SM Otieno never built a house in Nyalgunga, his ancestral home — his mansion stood in Upper Matasia. Nobody used that against his legacy. Trying to diminish Sifuna on the flimsy ground of “he has no stolen wealth to show for it” simply won’t wash with Kenyans who can tell the difference between honest ambition and looted opulence.
After all, come August 11, 2027, Kenyans won’t just be looking at his rural house. They’ll be handing him State House Nairobi — and every State Lodge that comes with it.
You engineered his removal from a small position of SG of dying party. Wait, you will soon, learn the hard way — when @EACCKenya won’t wait for your confession that you were bribed to impeach Riggy G. You belong to Kamiti …#EdwinSifuna2027

If a senator's biggest achievement is announcing that the President paid his son's school fees in Dubai, then he has fundamentally misunderstood public leadership.

The people of Kwale are not asking who paid for a politician's child to study abroad. They are asking why their own children cannot afford quality education at home.

How does that KSh 2 million help a Digo or Duruma parent struggling to raise school fees? How does it improve the Technical University of Mombasa (TUM) Kwale Campus? How does it create jobs, fund bursaries, equip laboratories, or make higher education more accessible?

[Generali Osumo @generali_osumo]

What exactly gives these supporters of the killer regime such PRIMITIVE pride to speak such kind of TRASH?

Kitui East MP Nimrod Mbai now says that there is no way he can vie in 2027 and allow anyone to win! That he'll rather win, die or kill someone and go to Kamiti than losing the elections.

This is the kind of venom that is being spewed by these clowns that have become big headed to a level that they now think that they must remain in power forever no matter what happens!

What level of IRRESPONSIBLE utterances to come from an elected leader. The people of Kitui East should just deal with this nongwe and send him home to go and commit suicide!

🚨BREAKING: France has failed to include Kenya among the 13 countries eligible for visa-free travel to its overseas territories.

​Only one African country, South Africa, made the cut, alongside China, India, and Saudi Arabia.

​Yet, we’ve been treated to countless photos of Ruto and Macron laughing, dining, and exchanging warm handshakes in Nairobi. This is the stark difference between diplomatic optics and diplomatic results.

​As an analyst, I see this as a failure of Kenya’s contemporary diplomacy. We have replaced hard bilateral negotiations with photo-ops and personal rapport.

​Macron secured France's strategic interests in East Africa. What comparable benefit did Kenya secure?

​International relations are driven by cold national interest, not personal friendships. What has Kenya actually gained from this partnership with France?

If these 2007 PEV video touches your timeline, please long press on it and repost. The people who organised 2007 violence are back, with police and goons and our stolen taxes behind them. They must be stopped

"Mungiki na polisi ndio waliua watu wengi..."

​Let the revisionists listen to this. This is the raw, documented reality of what ethnic animosity and political incitement did to families in 2007/08. We must preserve these testimonies. We must never forget the cost of division.

[Karomo Richú @tonykaromo]

I tell people that when we returned to our lands, 1 ½ years after the 2007 post election violence, and my own dog recognized me, it FLED.

Our dogs had stayed on our wasted land for that whole time. Mine had burrowed it's hide-out where the burnt maize barn stood. Turns out they had survived on eating dead cows, sheep and people who were killed during the violence.

I'm soooo glad I grew up bana.

[The People’s President @bonifacemwangi]

The International Criminal Court (ICC) suspects who basically own Kenya today bribed media house employees to delete post-election violence news stories from their YouTube channels, arranged for raw footage to disappear from newsrooms, and rewrote the narrative by portraying themselves as victims after funding the killings.

The kind of money thrown around to sink the case ran into the billions. They paid an employee of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) to steal the list of witnesses lined up against them at the ICC.

They used that list to bribe witnesses, paid hit squads to kill, and even made witnesses disappear if they refused to recant their testimonies. The officers who were in the hit squad that killed the witnesses were themselves also murdered. https://t.co/XXddL3JAbq

Some of the targeted hate I receive is because I refused to hide my images or testify falsely at The Hague that the violence I witnessed was spontaneous rather than organised. Instead, we travelled the entire country, displaying the pictures and holding healing and reconciliation discussions.

I was even approached not by the two main ICC suspects, but by Kibaki’s people, who were trying to protect his key civil servant. That civil servant was facing charges of five crimes against humanity: murder, forcible transfer of population, rape, persecution, and other inhumane acts.

Entire police occurrence books were rewritten to conceal the true number of those who died. Almost 20 years later, there has not been a single conviction for the post-election violence.

Thousands died, hundreds (possibly thousands) of women were raped, and over 500,000 people were displaced. Their animals, properties, and land were stolen.

The 2007–2008 chapter was never closed. The story continues, and if you make the mistake of re-electing people whose only language is to bribe everyone and kill those who disagree, Kenya will experience even worse violence than in 2007–08.

He has already normalised sending masked men to abduct citizens in full view of cameras, while goons work with the police to beat and violate opposition leaders and their supporters. Soon those masked men and goons will be shooting and killing people on live TV. That is exactly what happened on 25 June 2024. Why do you think almost all senior police leadership in Nairobi comes from one community, and that the police boss who ordered a blogger’s abduction and murder is being groomed to be the next Inspector General of Police?

Let me stop here. You can find some of the photos I shot in 2007–08 https://t.co/LRDxDzXwu4.

Finally, @DCI_Kenya boss Mohamed Amin: since January, your special teams have been forced to sign that they received per diems when they travel for out-of-station missions, yet they receive nothing. They are being forced to sleep in their cars and beg for food.

Stop treating your special units like homeless people. Who is stealing their allowances? Or is that the money State House is using to bribe voters and pay bloggers?
