Kenya's government plans to sell at least 1,000 datasets from platforms like eCitizen over five years to raise revenue.
The Sh396 million project will include anonymised datasets such as:
— Land transactions
— Passport applications
— Vehicle registrations
— Birth and death records
— Business registrations
The Law Society of Kenya strongly condemns the shocking arrest of Chief Justice Emeritus @dkmaraga and environmental activists protesting the irregular allocation of 76 acres of Nairobi National Park. Bundling a retired head of our Judiciary into a police vehicle for peacefully opposing a Sh42 Billion project, reportedly pushed through without public participation, is a direct assault on the civic space guaranteed under Article 37 of the Constitution. National heritage sites are not state property to barter behind closed doors.
The LSK will not stand by while police force is weaponized against constitutional defenders. We have immediately dispatched an LSK legal team to Lang’ata Police Station to secure the unconditional release of the activists, and I commend the CJ Emeritus for refusing to leave custody until all those arrested with him are freed. We demand an immediate end to the harassment of civic actors and a transparent public audit of the Bomas expansion plan. The @LawSocietyofKe remains firmly on the frontlines to protect our laws and our land.
Hon. David Maraga arrested this morning while participating in a peaceful procession to protect Nairobi National Park from the proposed construction of a 1,300-car parking facility.
Protecting our national heritage is not a crime!

John Fetterman seems to genuinely think that the reason no one likes him is because he refuses to wear a suit.
It's not the hoodie, dude. It's because you've become a stooge for AIPAC and the Republican party.
The debt crisis that might hit us will be monumental.
We are securitizing everything that can be securitized, from parastatal funds, imports & infrastructure levies, HF, Pension Fund, HELB, W&YEF, et al.
IMF has flagged the securitization and Kenya’s risk of distress as high. Debt to GPD ratio is now past 56%.
The even bigger problem is that those monies line the pockets of a few people while the citizens are left to bear the burden.
A family in Nanyuki, Kenya, is mourning their son after protests over a planned Ebola quarantine facility turned deadly.
The man was one of two people killed during demonstrations against the proposed US-run centre, which some residents fear could pose health risks to them.
Joseph Irungu Maina (JOWI) slaughtered Monica Kimani (in cold blood) as a chicken and stole her money. He was convicted and sentenced to death for that heinous crime. But tyrant @WilliamsRuto has, by fiat, commuted the sentence and ordered Jowi’s release, so that Jowi can help him execute more Kenyans.
It seems that Ruto is incapable of doing anything right, moral and accountable!
Protests have broken out in Kenya over plans for a US-government Ebola isolation facility near a US air base in Nanyuki.
A court has temporarily halted the project, which supporters say would strengthen Ebola preparedness but critics argue could put local communities at risk.
The Law Society of Kenya has noted with grave concern reports of ongoing discussions regarding the possible establishment of an Ebola quarantine, monitoring or treatment facility within the Republic of Kenya for foreign nationals exposed to or infected with Ebola Virus Disease outside Kenya.
… Kenya cannot become a holding ground for dangerous infectious diseases outsourced by foreign states seeking to shield their own territories from risk.
Consequently, and in defence of the Constitution and in the public interest, the Society has moved to the High Court under Nairobi Constitutional Petition No. E334 of 2026; Law Society of Kenya v. Ministry of Health & Others seeking urgent constitutional intervention in opposition to the proposed arrangement.
The Law Society of Kenya will continue to defend constitutionalism, public accountability and the safety, dignity and well-being of the people of Kenya. - the LSK President @ckanjama SC in a statement on the proposed setting up of an Ebola Quarantine facility in Kenya
The White House confirmed that the U.S. is setting up a health facility in Kenya to receive Americans who are exposed to the Ebola virus in regions affected by the outgoing outbreak.
