.@KoinangeJeff the saddest image I’ve seen this year - We need to urgently recognize and treat this as a crisis for elephants and humans. 16 confirmed dead and rising. #HandsOffOurElephants
Chinese nationals are operating a dredger boat, extracting gold in River Yala with no licence, no environmental approval and no legal right to be in that water at all.

Ukifanya river mining, maji hukuwa unusable downstream for everything. Huwezi kunywa, huwezi lima nayo, Samaki hakuna, huwezi hata fua nayo. The more unatumia hiyo maji, the more mnagonjeka. Hii kitu inaniudhi mbaya.
Wild animals are dying in our national parks due to cyanide poisoning. It started with Elephants, it's now affecting other animals. Sodium cyanide is used to extract gold during mining, and reports indicate that water sources in Amboseli have been contaminated. Illegal mining is happening in our National parks. Kenyans need to raise their voices. Our wildlife must not be sacrificed to protect the interests of cartels.
HISTORIC VICTORY. HIGH COURT DECLARES THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT ON LAND JUSTICE IN KENYA.
In my petition, Okiya Omtatah Okoiti v Attorney General & Others, the High Court has declared unconstitutional the provisions of the National Land Commission Act that imposed time limits on the Commission’s constitutional mandate to review grants of public land and investigate historical land injustices.
The Court affirmed a simple but powerful principle. Parliament cannot diminish or extinguish powers that the Constitution has vested in an independent constitutional commission. Justice delayed cannot become justice denied through legislative deadlines.
This judgment restores hope to thousands of Kenyans and communities who were locked out of justice by arbitrary statutory time bars. The constitutional path to redress for historical land injustices remains open.
The Constitution has prevailed. Land justice has no expiry date.

Yesterday, @kizzabesigye1 was only partially conscious. He could hear but could not speak. He remains extremely weak. Doctors are still trying to determine what happened to him.
Our family received a briefing from the Mulago doctors treating KB. Yet Prison Officer Siima denied me, his next of kin, the right to join the briefing by phone. His reason? He “didn’t have permission.”
This is the arrogance of arbitrary power. Even at a patient’s bedside, basic rights and human dignity are treated as privileges to be granted or withheld. I am on my way from Rio to be with my spouse. Stand aside, Siima. No one will keep me from him.
Please join me in praying for @kizzabesigye1 and demanding justice.
He has been admitted to the ICU at Mulago Hospital. He is unconscious, unable to speak, and unresponsive even to a pain stimulus.
Before he collapsed, he cried out that he was being injured. His sister, Dr Kobusingye, was in court but was not allowed to attend to him.
What happened to KB?
One day, @KagutaMuseveni and his son @mkainerugaba will have to answer that question.
After 8½ years of advocacy & litigation I recovered the 843 acres (341.2 HA) piece of government land in Busia County from fraudsters who had stolen it and I restored it to the public. ... {Nasewa Land, a thread}
@OkiyaOmtatah When the Controller of Budget says it, the figure takes on new meaning.
Also, she is speaking about what she has access to...there is other public debt that is not managed by her office - that tells you everything you need to know about the true amount.
The next person who wants to lead this country needs to stop telling Kenyans they have a plan. We are tired of hearing about plans. You already know the problems!!
Odious debt, corruption, a broken education system, a struggling health sector, unemployment and the high cost of living and so much more. None of these issues are new. Tell us exactly what you are going to do about them.
Kenyans don’t need another campaign built on slogans and promises. We need specifics, timelines and accountability. Anyone asking for our vote should first tell us, in detail, how they intend to fix this country. We already know the problems. What we’re waiting for are the solutions.
This business of saying, “We’re meeting, we’re consulting, we’ll unveil our agenda when the time is right,” is not going to work anymore. The time is now. Tell Kenyans how you will deal with the debt, what laws you will change to fight corruption, how you will fix public hospitals, what reforms you will make to education, where the money will come from, what you will cut and what you will prioritise.
WANTAM!!
We have moved to the High Court to put an end to an unacceptable illegality that continues to bleed our country dry.
The IMF and the World Bank must operate under the Kenyan Constitution, or they must leave.

@Eddu_G Amen, Amen, Amen! There are lots of shitty leaders out there.....NONE of them must see the light of elected office. Voter education needs to continue....let's keep sharing these facts. Asante!
MOTION FOR SENATORS TO ACCESS THE IFMIS RECORDS IN REAL TIME
Pursuant to Articles 96 and 217 of the Constitution, I have moved a Motion in the @Senate_KE to compel the National @KeTreasury to provide Senators with real time IFMIS reports for every county. Effective oversight cannot rely on delayed reports long after public funds have been spent.
Transparency begins with timely access to information. If Senators are to protect county resources and hold governments accountable, we must see public expenditure as it happens, not after the damage is done.
No accountability without transparency. No transparency without real time access.
