Sad state of affairs!

[The People’s President @bonifacemwangi]

Ruto's State House spends Sh43 million daily. He wasted Sh10.4 billion in just 7 months while Kenyans in Turkana starve. A Turkana, Josphat Nanok, serves as the Deputy Chief of Staff in the Executive Office of the President. Can't he tell Ruto Turkanas are dying of hunger?

The state cannot be super efficient at revenue collection but awful at everything else. You shouldn’t have to pay Norway income tax and receive Somalia level of services

The government is selling Kenyans a lie wrapped in election-season sugarcoating.

It is now claiming it is “introducing an amendment” to exempt 1.5 million workers earning KSh 30,000 and below from PAYE. This sounds generous—until you check the law. Kenyans earning below KSh 24,000 were already PAYE-exempt under existing tax bands and personal relief. There is nothing new here.

No breakthrough. No reform. Just recycled policy being rebranded as generosity.
What the government is actually doing is shifting the exemption ceiling slightly upward and marketing it as a historic tax relief.

That is not tax justice; it is political theatre. The majority of low-income earners were never paying PAYE in the first place, and those slightly above the threshold are getting marginal relief that does not match the crushing cost of living, inflation, fuel taxes, housing levy deductions, and expanded consumption taxes.

Even the so-called relief for those earning up to KSh 50,000—a reduction of PAYE from 30% to 25%—is hardly benevolence.

It comes after months of aggressive taxation, new levies, and relentless revenue extraction that left households poorer, not richer. Giving back a fraction of what was taken is not reform; it is damage control.

This announcement is not about easing the burden on workers. It is about conditioning public opinion ahead of 2027, creating soundbites for rallies, and manufacturing a narrative of a “listening government” while avoiding real structural tax reform.

If the intention were genuine, the government would be talking about widening personal relief, simplifying tax bands, cutting indirect taxes that hurt the poor most, and growing incomes—not staging press conferences over policies that largely already exist.

Kenyans deserve honesty, not recycled exemptions presented as new gifts. This is not tax relief. It is hoodwinking, timed for politics, not people.

Tomorrow morning, I'm in Kibera Law Courts for offensive conduct! I allegedly called the police corrupt ****! Where is the lie? The cops smashed my face and sent me to the emergency room. @IPOA_KE recommended prosecution, but @ODPP_KE took a bribe and charged me! FUCK THE POLICE!

Morocco is building the largest stadium in the world with a seating capacity of 115,000 complete with a mini-city around it at a cost of $500M (Ksh. 65B). Meanwhile, Kenya is building a 60k capacity stadium (the size of Kasarani stadium) with no supporting infrastructure at a cost of Ksh. 45B. No country can survive the theft that is currently underway in Kenya

Malaysia’s example proves that impunity is a choice, and so is accountability.
Kenya stands at a crossroads. We can continue normalizing corruption as politics-as-usual, or we can insist that public office is a public trust, not a private entitlement.

As citizens, we must demand prosecutions that go the distance. As institutions, we must defend the Constitution without fear or favor. As a nation, we must remember this simple truth: when the mighty are held to account, the Republic grows stronger.

Kenya must learn or pay the price of refusing to learn.

Self-confessed goons-for-hire reveal how politicians are merchants of bloodshed, paying them to harm, destroy and even kill. The goons reveal how the networks work, the pay structure, power play. They do it “to make ends meet”

The State vs Boniface Mwangi kicks off on Monday, December 1, 2025 in a politically-motivated case, following his initial arrest on terrorism charges that were later reduced to unlawful possession of ammunition.

The government has pursued a relentless policy of harassment and arrest of active citizens in a desperate and misguided attempt to silence its critics.

The freedom to criticize and hold our government accountable is on trial in this case and Kenyans will be keenly following the proceedings.

Being a hired goon and giving hardships as an excuse can’t be acceptable… it’s like a robber claiming they needed to steal to pay for their mum’s hospital bills… the end cannot justify the means. We are the problem and we keep suffering because at the core.. we are bad people

Kenya is not a poor country. Our problem is that we have people in power who keep borrowing, wasting resources and stealing.

I will work hard to rebuild our economy, use innovation and technology to create opportunities for the youth and rejuvenate agriculture and agribusiness.

[The People’s President @bonifacemwangi]

After abducting, torturing, and jailing opposition leaders, Tanzania’s President Samia Suluhu ran virtually unopposed and declared herself the winner with 97.66% of the vote amid low turnout. These results are fabricated, with zero evidence that 32 million Tanzanians voted.

To suppress protests and cover up opposition to her election, she imposed an internet shutdown and media blackout. No independent media can show what’s happening, but emerging reports indicate over 700 protesters have been killed in the last 48 hours.

Let me take this opportunity to set the record straight on behalf of all Kenyans.

@HusseinMohamedg

With regards to inflation: 9.6 → 4.6 %

One headline says it all: Kenyans are borrowing KSH 13 billion a month, in order to be able to eat.

Prices didn’t fall because of better management. They fell because Kenyans stopped affording basic goods.
The “lower inflation” reflects economic paralysis — small businesses shut down, farmers can’t access credit, and demand has collapsed. Food inflation still hovers around 9–10%, while household incomes are shrinking.

With regards to shilling: 165 → 129 per USD

The stronger shilling isn’t from exports or productivity. It’s the result of short-term dollar borrowing — Eurobond proceeds, IMF tranches, and syndicated loans. Kenya is borrowing to look stable. When those borrowed dollars run out, the shilling will tumble again. It’s an illusion funded by future generations.

Think about this: The 18-34 years age group is the most productive age group globally. In our country, this age group faces a 67% poverty rate.

Nobody from this age group will walk into Quick Mart and trade in the "savings from shilling appreciation" for food. Kenyans need jobs, and they are not getting them.

With regards to reserves: $5.7 B → $12 B

Conveniently leaves out that those “record reserves” are borrowed dollars from new IMF loans, syndicated loans, and Eurobond proceeds — not export surpluses. Kenya is literally borrowing to look solvent, because President Ruto lacks the courage to deal with the real issues destroying the economy - such as corruption and a crushingly expensive government.

With regards to CBR: 13 → 9.25 %

Yes, the Central Bank cut its policy rate, but commercial lending rates remain 15–18%, and SMEs still can’t access credit. Why?

Because the government itself has become the biggest borrower in Kenya — tapping commercial banks for short-term domestic loans at double-digit interest. In 2023-2025, domestic debt was 51% of our sovereign debt, while interest on that portion of debt was 70% of the total interest obligation. No different than borrowing from a loan shark to take your girlfriend to Las Vegas.

This crowds out ordinary Kenyans and businesses: banks prefer lending to government (risk-free, high-yield) rather than to citizens or the productive economy.
Result: the government borrows, banks profit, citizens suffocate.

With regards to GDP: KSh 17 trillion — Growth on paper, misery in reality

The size of the economy only confirms if there is food in the kitchen, and the amount of the food.

A more important question is, WHO IS INVITED TO EAT?

Our country today is using roughly 50% of every shilling we have on salaries for less than 2% of the population.

For example, in 2023-2024, when our country earned KSH 2.5 trillion in revenue, KSH 1.2 trillion, or 48%, was devoted to salaries for one million employees of the national government.

That is less than 2% of our population.

That 2% is WHO IS EATING.

The 98% of us are mere spectators in the feast.

DP Kindiki spent Ksh 1.3 billion in three months. Meanwhile, over 500,000 university students are home as the government refuses to pay lecturers.

The lecturers and their students should march together to demand the government pays their teachers so they can return to class.
