This is exactly why @the_sambu is spot on.
Shiquo isn’t just some ordinary Kenyan hustling shoes… she’s sharp, strategic, and downright courageous. She publicly called out the raid, forced ACA to respond and deny everything. ACA then returned with a lawyered statement about ongoing investigations, seizure powers and due process…. WITHOUT clearly resolving whether the raid happened.
AND in doing so, she dragged the whole cartel-middleman racket into the light. Classic trap. Well played.
People complain daily about a corrupt, captured government/institutions. Yet the moment a trader suggests that the same system may be shielding entrenched commercial interests, they rush to defend the authorities. How convenient.
This is not merely about sneakers, but about who controls the import route, the wholesale margin, the distribution chain and the institutions capable of shutting a competitor down.
Her allegations remain allegations. Counterfeit goods remain legally vulnerable.
But the money question is real:
Who benefits from the gatekeeping?
The systems are not always broken. Sometimes they are operating exactly as designed… to protect the big players’ money faucet.
Support anyone bold enough to disrupt the gatekeepers.
Pursuant to Standing Order 53(1), I have sought a Statement from the Senate Committee on Energy regarding the reported non-disclosure of beneficial ownership in the sale of Kenya Pipeline Company shares.
Kenyans deserve transparency, accountability, and full disclosure on transactions involving strategic national assets. Public interest must always come before private gain.
#AccountabilityFirst
For years, the Auditor-General has exposed billions lost through financial mismanagement and irregular expenditure. Yet accountability remains elusive.
I have formally sought a statement in @Senate_KE on the effectiveness of the @EACCKenya in acting on these findings. Kenyans deserve answers, action, and justice, not endless audit reports gathering dust.
Public money must serve the people, not the corrupt.

The U.S. just today’s morning struck two water reservoirs in Iran, disrupting its drinking water supply for local communities.
The U.S. has targeted schools, hospitals, universities, bridges, and other civilian infrastructures in Iran.
Destroying civilian infrastructures is not military necessity. The U.S. is totally unleashed with no red lines. Civilians and civilian infrastructure are not a target
If I criticize your side, you assume I'm on theirs. If I criticize their side, they assume I'm on yours. You are both wrong. My position is guided by principles and upholding the law rather than alignment.
But, is there an international law for the U.S. that is different from the international law for other countries?
There is a new cash cow in town. 🚨
If you import a car to Kenya right now, @ntsa_kenya is taking weeks to print physical plates after allocation. Since CFS storage fees are piling up, you're forced to drive from Mombasa with your registration on a piece of paper. (1/4)
Affordable housing cannot become a cover for land grabbing.
The Auditor General has flagged projects built on public and community land without proper ownership records, legal processes, or public participation. Kenyans deserve answers.
I have formally demanded a Senate inquiry. Public land is not for plunder. Accountability must come before construction. #StopLandGrabbing #ReKe
The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
We cannot have an imperial presidency where someone makes paternalistic or autocratic decisions of this nature in the name of "I gave friends permission". Come on please. Even your serious medical experts are saying this is wrong.
They traced him,took him in,trained him and now have unleashed him close to the anniversary to confuse people. You thought he was dead the government took him and he’s doing the script they want him to. That’s why he suddenly appears in mainstream media,this is the government at work. Hamwoni amenona mashavu!
Ruto has turned us into freedom fighters. When it’s not the Finance Bill, it’s GMO; when it’s not GMO, it’s Ebola.
The GMO fight will have cross-examination this week on Wednesday and Thursday.
Let Ruto stay guided. We are not giving up soon.
