Residents in Mt. Kenya confronted one of their MCAs, asked tough questions about his record, and openly told him he was "wantam" (one term).
No violence. Just citizens reminding an elected leader who the real employer is.
Imagine if every Kenyan constituency demanded this level of accountability from its leaders.
Would our politics still be the same?
Outrage grows after a video surfaced showing an exchange in Hon. Lady Justice Martha Mutuku's chambers yesterday at Nakuru Law Courts. The judge reportedly dismissed a case for want of prosecution despite opposing counsel being absent, sparking intense debate.
The footage captures the judge calling Nakuru a "troublesome station" and telling the advocate they could "change the record" if they wished to challenge her. The incident coincides with growing tensions as the LSK continues its push for judicial reforms.
A Small Claims Court has declared illegal MOGO’s KSh 400,000 loan that ballooned to KSh 976,750. The borrower had already repaid KSh 299,369, yet was still asked to pay KSh 677,381. The Court found the 86.4% effective interest rate and extra charges exploitative, with MOGO failing to justify the additional fees.
@amerix I agree, let the refinery be built.
People forget that western civilizations were built on fosil fuels, the west then wants to make us believe that we shouldn't pursue that path
CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG BUT, As I turn 43 this year, I have realised, as a man, no one cares about you. Not your wife. Not your family. Not your friends. Not your workmates. Nobody. People act like they care, but deep down, they don't. You are on your own. Always on your own.
I used to buy those cheap sunglasses from the roadside all the time and always thought, "What's the point of buying expensive ones? I'm going to loose them anyway." Then one day, I gathered the courage and bought an expensive sunglasses. And guess what? I still have them. I've taken care of them ever since.
That's when I realized those cheap sunglasses weren't getting lost because they were cheap? They were getting lost because I didn't value them enough to care. It's hard to accept, but sometimes in someone else's story, you are that cheap pair of sunglasses.
This has to be one of the greatest comebacks by The Standard. 😄
The President accused them of running propaganda and seeking sympathy.
A few hours later, The Standard fires back with: "Even the President reads The Standard."
Eeeih. Whoever runs that account deserves a bonus. 😂
I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.

The High Court told me that the Right to fair hearing is not an absolute right. 🥲🥲
Mikel Arteta was Arsenal’s vice-captain the last time Manchester United won the Premier League.
Since then, Arteta has retired, became a coach, became Arsenal manager, rebuilt the club and won the league.
Meanwhile, Man United have gone through 11 managerial appointments. 0 Premier League titles.

Paul Njuguna, a retired technical manager at the Agricultural Development Corporation, invested Ksh 16 million in 2019 to set up Elgon Pine, a refined oil and animal feed plant in Eldoret. At its peak, the plant processed 90 tonnes of canola, sunflower, and soya annually, with capacity for 300 tonnes. Njuguna contracted about 100 farmers who supplied raw materials, while he also farmed 10 acres himself.
The business also produced poultry feeds and soap from crop by-products.
The venture collapsed after Kenya Power slapped him with a Ksh 400,000 bill in August 2021, compared to his usual monthly bill of about Ksh 30,000. Njuguna disputed it as an error and filed a complaint, but Kenya Power claimed underbilling and refused to adjust. When he failed to pay, Kenya Power disconnected electricity to both his plant and home. Though EPRA ruled in his favour and ordered reconnection, the power was never restored, forcing him to shut down operations.
The shutdown affected the entire value chain - contracted farmers, suppliers, and employees - all of whom lost income. Njuguna now questions whether the disconnection was deliberate sabotage and why Kenya does little to protect small industrial ventures. His case has raised concerns about how utility billing errors and slow dispute resolution can destroy promising local businesses and the livelihoods tied to them.

Why are teachers talking to our kids about sexuality at 12?
Why are kids encouraged to mutilate their bodies at 13?
This gender ideology madness needs to end.
