Just learnt of the abduction of this young female activist, Praise Aloikin Opoloje, this evening! She is a vocal critic of the NRM regime, with her most recent video focusing on Mr. Museveni's infantile son & cowardly army commander, Muhoozi, who has proven unable to act his age or rank. We call for Aloikin's unconditional release and an end to this State criminality! #BringBackOurPeople!

[Human Rights Defenders @NUPUSAInc]

The World Liberty Congress reports that one of its members in Uganda, Praise Aloikin Opoloje, has reportedly been abducted following her criticism of Uganda’s CDF, @mkainerugaba

Praise must be released immediately & unconditionally. Uganda must end this campaign of intimidation.

PRESS STATEMENT

WHY KENYA'S ELECTORAL SYSTEM MUST PASS THE CONSTITUTIONAL TEST

Fellow Kenyans,

Yesterday, I appeared before the High Court in a constitutional case concerning the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (@IEBCKenya) and the integrity of Kenya's electoral system.

The petition asks the Court to test the entire chain of our elections - how Kenyans register, how they are identified at the polling station, how their votes are cast and counted, and how results are transmitted, verified and declared - against the standards the Constitution itself sets.

That question is simple to state: Does Kenya's electoral system meet the constitutional test?

Article 81 requires that elections be administered in a manner that is impartial, neutral, efficient, accurate and accountable. Article 86 requires that, whatever method is used to cast, count and transmit votes, that method be simple, accurate, verifiable, secure, accountable and transparent. The Elections Act sets the same standard for the technology IEBC deploys.

The Constitution anticipates an electoral process that is not just free and fair, but one that is also tamper-proof. Free and fair speaks to conduct on the day; tamper-proof speaks to the design of the system itself - whether it can withstand interference at any point in the chain, and whether that can be proven, not merely assumed.

To be clear, this case is not just simply about paper versus electronics.

Kenya's system already combines both - paper ballots, electronic voter identification, and electronic transmission of results. Technology, properly designed and independently verifiable, can be a powerful ally of electoral integrity: it can reduce unnecessary human discretion, create reliable audit trails, make results easier, not harder, to verify, and significantly reduce the cost of elections.

But technology is not self-certifying. It does not become trustworthy simply because it is technology. Like every other part of the electoral chain, it must be shown to satisfy the Constitution's own tests of transparency, verifiability, security and accountability - and, ultimately, to be tamper-proof.

That is the real question before the Court: does the entire electoral chain - registration, identification, casting, counting, tallying, transmission, verification and declaration - give Kenyans sufficient safeguards that their vote, once cast, cannot be manipulated, mishandled, or rendered impossible to verify?

This is not a personal quarrel with @IEBCKenya. It is a constitutional and public-interest matter.
Sovereignty in this country belongs to the people, and the vote is the sole instrument by which that sovereignty is exercised. An electoral system that cannot be meaningfully verified is not one the Constitution permits us to accept on faith.

I want to be precise about where this matter stands. The High Court has not ruled on the merits. The parties were heard, and the constitutional questions remain before the Court. I respect that process fully and will abide by whatever directions and determination the Court makes.

My role as a citizen, a public representative, and the petitioner in this matter is to ensure these questions are placed squarely before the Court and answered according to the Constitution and the law, not according to convenience or assumption.

Kenyans should not have to be told their votes were counted correctly. They should be able to verify it. That is the standard the Constitution sets, and it is the standard we are asking the Court to enforce.

The vote belongs to the people. The Constitution protects it. Our electoral system must do the same - free, fair, and tamper-proof.

We proceed, firmly and within the law.

God bless Kenya.

🚨 FROM VICE PRESIDENT TO POLITICAL GHOST: TANZANIA GOVERNMENT MUST ACCOUNT FOR EMMANUEL NCHIMBI’S WHEREABOUTS:

The most disturbing question confronting Tanzania today is not whether Emmanuel John Nchimbi resigned from the vice presidency; it is whether the Tanzanian public can independently establish what happened to him, where he is, and whether the words attributed to him were actually written and published by him?

On 25 August 2026, a resignation statement appeared on Nchimbi’s Instagram account an account that had reportedly been inactive since March 2023, announcing his retirement from politics and public service and stating that his resignation would take effect on 4 September.

The statement said he had become convinced that President Samia Suluhu Hassan wanted a different vice president and that he was therefore fulfilling a prior undertaking to step aside if she so wished. Yet the provenance of that communication has not been independently established in a manner that would satisfy the evidentiary standards ordinarily demanded where the liberty, political status and public accountability of a senior state official are at issue.

Local reporting says Nchimbi subsequently told journalists that he had left politics, but the public has not been presented with a sustained, independently verifiable account from him explaining the circumstances of his departure, his present whereabouts, or the extraordinary sequence by which he moved from the second-highest constitutional office to political silence.

The circumstances surrounding that silence are particularly grave because Nchimbi was not merely another member of the ruling establishment: he was President Hassan’s running mate, Vice President of the United Republic of Tanzania, and a former CCM secretary-general.

Nchimbi’s removal unfolded with exceptional speed. After the resignation announcement, CCM expelled him on disciplinary and ethical grounds and endorsed Energy Minister Deogratius Ndejembi as its nominee for the vice presidency; the Attorney General subsequently stated that Nchimbi ceased to be vice president on 26 August because his expulsion from CCM removed a constitutional qualification for the office, notwithstanding the September 4 date stated in the resignation notice.

The legal mechanisms may be capable of explanation, but legality alone cannot answer the human-rights question: whether Nchimbi remains free, secure and able to communicate publicly without coercion.

This concern is heightened by his recent advocacy for constitutional reform and by reporting that he had been under political pressure to relinquish office. The suspension of MwanaHALISI shortly before his resignation after it published claims that he was resisting pressure to step down makes the chronology still more consequential, even though the publication’s allegations themselves remain allegations rather than established fact.

The Nchimbi question also emerges from a wider context of unresolved disappearances and lethal political violence. In October 2025, former CCM propaganda secretary and ambassador Humphrey Polepole was reportedly taken from his Dar es Salaam residence; his family reported a broken door, blood inside the house and other indications of a violent struggle. @amnesty @hrw called for authorities to establish his whereabouts and circumstances, while Tanzanian police said they were investigating the alleged abduction and referred to an earlier police summons issued to Humphrey Polepole over social-media statements. His fate has remained a profound source of concern. That history matters because international human-rights law treats enforced disappearance not merely as the physical removal of an individual, but as a violation compounded by the denial of information concerning that person’s fate or whereabouts.

Who ate the 100 billion for Mombasa-Likoni bridge that was given to Kenya by the Japanese government?

Instead of a 100 billion bridge, the government is now only buying a 3 billion ferry. Nani amekula 97 billion?

Mr President you found public debt at Sh8.7 trillion. Today it is Sh13 trillion. That is Sh4.3 trillion added in four years. The Controller of Budget is telling Treasury to stop borrowing because we have smashed the 55 percent debt ceiling. You do not reduce a mountain by standing on it and announcing it is a hill. #DeniBandia #ReKe

A young woman with an oxygen mask appeared on NTV, begging, pleading, and crying to the Government, Ministry of Health to end the nurses strike because she and others were dying. No medication for 40 days. Yesterday, she died. Nobody in government was moved. As of yesterday, 136 mothers and kids had died, many in waiting areas (and these are just numbers that are known). The President is busy on rooftops of cars, Aden Duale is busy campaigns in North Easter to prove he is the king, and nobody gives a damn anymore... Khabusie!
