If a French troop kills you, he will be excused. Yes, Ruto has signed that.

🚨 BREAKING: We reveal the news that even Ruto himself might not have wanted many of you to know today.

He has landed back in Kenya aboard private jet T7-BBJ at 6:30 PM EAT.

Coincidentally, or not, his return came at the exact moment the entire country was glued to the KSh 4.8 trillion Budget debate.

While Kenyans were busy discussing taxes, spending, and the cost of living, the President quietly touched down back home.

This appears to mark the end of a trip that cost taxpayers more than KSh 4 million per flight hour.

We tracked this aircraft from the moment it left Finland.

We waited for government officials to announce his arrival. None did.

As usual, the question is simple:

What exactly was the ROI of this trip?

If it's deals, this government has announced hundreds of deals from dozens of foreign trips. Yet most Kenyans cannot point to a single change in their daily lives that is due to them.

If it's 1,000 jobs in Norway, then compare the cost of the trip against the salaries those jobs will generate.

At some point, taxpayers have to ask whether these trips are investments or expensive photo opportunities.

The Budget was read today.
Taxes were defended today.
Billions were allocated today.
And quietly, the President returned home.

We'll continue tracking these flights and revealing what others won't.

Follow me here - Sholla Ard - as we hold the government accountable.

You used to claim that Hon. Ndindi Nyoro had delivered massive development in his constituency because he allegedly had influence over bigger allocations.

Now let me ask you plainly, by that same standard you were using then, how much tarmac have you actually delivered for your own people? And how many schools have you upgraded with cabros, classrooms, or even basic infrastructure that can be pointed at without excuses?

Corrupt @ntsa_kenya is under the spotlight. They can’t get anything right. Big idiots. Everyone at NTSA led by corrupt DG Nahashon Kondiwa should resign, wameshindwa na kazi! His work is to delay number plates to collect more bribes in collaboration with corrupt police.

I've been comparing the JKIA deal with China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) against the previous Adani proposal and noticed something interesting many people seem to be overlooking.

The current CCCC deal is worth about $2.9 billion (KSh375 billion).

The Adani proposal was valued at roughly $1.85–2 billion.

On the surface, that makes the Adani deal look cheaper.

But that comparison ignores the structure of the deals.

It is not clear whether the $2.9 billion figure is inflated, and as Kenyans we all know how "kickbacks" have a way of finding themselves into mega government contracts. That alone deserves serious scrutiny.

However, the Adani deal was not simply a private investor bringing money to build an airport.

Kenya was still expected to finance a significant portion of the project through loans, guarantees and other public resources.

At the same time, Adani would receive a 30-year lease to operate JKIA and control its revenue streams.

In other words, Kenya would still carry a significant part of the financial burden while surrendering control of its largest airport until around 2055–2060.

Adani could then earn billions from airport operations over those three decades, potentially several times the original project value.

There were also concerns from workers who feared job losses or replacement as key airport functions shifted under Adani's management.

Under the CCCC deal, Kenya will still repay the financing, likely through a mix of Chinese and local funding.

The difference is that once construction is complete, JKIA remains under Kenyan ownership, Kenyan management and Kenyan control through KAA.

That is why I find it interesting that many people keep focusing on the headline project cost while ignoring who ultimately controls the asset and who receives the revenue over the next 30 years. Adani were about to make billions out of JKIA for 30 full years.

KSh375 billion under CCCC may well be overpriced but lets wait for the Design.

But a deal can be cheaper on paper and far more expensive in reality. Follow me here - Sholla Ard

@KenyanSays ODM goons are ALWAYS in their own world.

While the gentleman has very valid issues with the payslip deductions, the ODM goon is being petty, unreasonable & out of touch with reality.

Buana, to be a goon you must have an empty head.
