Important conversation.

World-leading cardiac surgeon Asif Hasan was surrounded by the children who received the gift of life thanks to his unerring skills at the emotional climax of another memorable Pride of Britain ceremony. 🥹
Now 70 years old, Mr Hasan has just retired after 35 years of service at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne, but just after receiving his Lifetime Achievement Award, he had an extra special surprise: a cast of patients who would not be alive without him. ❤️
A few months from now
Ruto: “ our collective investment schemes have cumulatively over 1 trillion that we can invest in our infrastructure
As a government we will tap these funds blah blah blah”
Collective Investment Schemes Assets Under Management closed June 2026 having crossed the Kes 900 billion mark.
Kes 948.7 billion up from Kes 851.68 billion in Marcg 2026.
A few things to note
1. Even for the exempted , their take home in absolute terms is still lower than what they took before Ruto.
2. In what world is a salary of 50k KES considered a lot as to burden that person more by taking away the small tax relief they had
3. Wantam!
An extra 362,846 formal sector workers will be exempted from paying taxes under the ongoing review of income taxes, which will see those earning over Sh50,000 pay more. https://t.co/w7dmBR5usj
You see that increased Tier 1 & Tier 2 contributions on your payslip ? Yes? Thoughts it’s for old age ? No
That is what Ruto is trading with like he is in a market
Monday :Calls NSSF board to buy billions in KPC stock
Tue: Asks them to sell it ( at a loss ) to Dangote
Full transparency. I exited my small $TE position bought a few days ago . I don’t like holding a stock I know little about and bought out of hype. Am not saying it is a bad stock. I am saying I don’t know it well enough to continue holding it and that capital can work better somewhere else .
If it 10X , I will drink my tears 😭
