Under President Trump, the State Department is defending the integrity of U.S. citizenship by ending illegal birth tourism schemes.
No foreigner is permitted to obtain a visitor visa for the primary purpose of acquiring U.S. citizenship for a child by giving birth in the U.S.
But I agree. The govt is to blame for these unrests in schools. The insufficient school capitation makes kids live in schools like squalor. Deal with the messβ¦
We are aware of the court action filed in Kenya against the Ebola isolation facility. We are in touch with Kenyan authorities and are optimistic we can resolve objections.
Katiba Institute Files a Petition Challenging the Proposed Establishment of Ebola Quarantine and Treatment Facilities in Kenya:
Katiba Institute is challenging the proposed establishment of a quarantine facility for American citizens exposed to Ebola and other highly infectious diseases in Kenya. The petition, through Counsel @joshuamalidzo, has been filed under a certificate of urgency. It is brought against the Attorney-General, (1st Respondent) and the Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Health (2nd Respondent).
To ensure transparency, accountability, and court oversight before a final determination is made, KI is asking the Court to urgently:
Halt Facility Operations: Restrain the Respondents from establishing, operationalising, or approving any Ebola quarantine or treatment facility in Kenya under any arrangement with the United States or other foreign governments, pending the hearing and determination of the matter.
Prevent Entry of Exposed Persons: Bar the Respondents and their agents from receiving, transferring, or facilitating the entry into Kenya of any individuals exposed or infected with Ebola under the impugned arrangement.
Compel Contingency Planning: Require the Cabinet Secretary for Health to prepare and present to the Court, within 24 hours, a comprehensive contingency plan detailing Kenyaβs preparedness measures for the prevention, surveillance, control, and response to any potential Ebola outbreak.
Mandate Full Disclosure: Compel the Respondents to disclose to KI and the public the full terms for any arrangements or negotiations regarding the proposed facility. This includes all related public health, environmental, biosafety, or security assessments; regulatory and parliamentary approvals; and the specific protocols for the admission and treatment of exposed persons.
The case affirms that even in matters of diplomacy and public health, the Constitution remains supreme and binding on all State organs. The secretive, unilateral establishment of an Ebola quarantine facility raises grave constitutional concerns regarding the rights to life, health, fair administrative action, public participation, and parliamentary oversight.
βKI is asking the Court to determine whether the Executive can expose the public to such significant risks without complying with constitutional safeguards. At its core, the case is about preserving constitutional accountability, protecting public health, and ensuring that no government may place expediency above the lives and safety of the people of Kenya.β

Thanks Sholla. These are some of the analysis our journalists should be helping the public do. Unfortunately not many want to do such analysis.
With the Mpesa and digital transaction costs increasing, we shall go back to hard cash. Retrogressive.
BREAKING: As I promised, here is evidence showing how the Finance Bill 2026 could increase M-Pesa and digital transaction costs. Reject the Finance Bill 2026
UDA propagandists asked for evidence. Here it is.
Go to pages 16 and 17 of the Finance Bill under Clause 31(b).

The bill says:
βSection A of the First Schedule to the Value Added Tax Act is amended,β
Then specifically:
βin Part II.... by deleting subparagraph (b) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph...β
This is important.
Let's move to 2/5
@UDAKenya@AchokaJunior3@HassanOmarH You guys fear Uhuru Kenyatta until you write a whole book chapter to respond to him!! πππ. Sadly you cannot silence him. Your efforts are just futile.
Key take outs from the President William Ruto's address this morning regarding the transport sector strike:
Β· He has ruled out the push for repeal of all taxes & levies attached to the price of petroleum products as a relief measure to Kenyans in the wake of runaway prices
Β· He argues that going that route will adversely impact revenue collection, expand the fiscal deficit & undermine service delivery.
Β· He says that the reduction of VAT on petroleum product from 16.0% to 8.0% has translated into Kes 14.4 billion worth of revenue forgone by the Exchequer
Β· He says that a total of Kes 12.45 billion was spent in pump price stabilisation during the April - May pump price cycle
Β· The President says that in the June 15th - July 14th pump price cycle, @EPRA_KE has been directed to slash to price of Diesel by Kes 10.0/litre
Β· Transport sector stakeholders say that the strike now moves from "suspended" to "called off"
@EPRA_KE@HerbertKinyua1 But who plays around with prices like this!! Just random additions and subtractions.
This means if we push harder, we can get to 150 per litre.
