Linus Kaikai described yesterday’s National Prayer Breakfast as one of the most heartless gathering in Kenya’s history.

The speakers of the day, and those leading prayers went ahead with their business without a single mention of Utumishi Girls Academy. They even cracked jokes without care, on one of Kenya’s darkest days in recent history.

This is deeply thought provoking and yet so basic at the same time - thank you Prof W. Njoya for these insightful comments!

The airline lost my bag for 72 hours.

They handed me a $50 “courtesy” voucher at the baggage desk and smiled like they’d done me a favor.

I kept the voucher. Then I opened my laptop and used a 1999 international treaty they never mention at check-in.

Total recovered: $1,650.

Here are the three legal weapons most passengers never know they have.

Tomorrow, we kick off the Fisherman's Art Workshop and Civic Engagement in collaboration with @CosterOjwang, @watendawili and @WillisRaburu. This will be a civic space where we use art, as a mirror of our society, to deliberate on not just where our country is, but which direction we want it to head in, and how we can all collectively ensure we achieve that vision.

We welcome all talented, passionate Kenyans in and around Bondo to join this space and take part in this conversation. This is the start of civic education done differently; through the universal language of humanity.

[Kenya Bankers Association (KBA) @KenyaBankers]

Kenyans are currently paying more income tax as individuals than companies pay in corporate tax.

PAYE currently stands at up to 35%, compared to 30% corporate tax, leaving workers with less take-home pay.

The proposed 5% PAYE reduction would help correct the imbalance, ease pressure on households, and improve disposable income for workers.

A fairer tax system should support both workers and economic growth.

Kenya will host the UN Internet Governance Forum 2026 in December this year. I am grateful to the UN Secretary General for appointing me Co-Chair of the Multistakeholder Advisory Group to coordinate this Forum.

[David Maraga @dkmaraga]

I wish to express my solidarity with Kenyans who have to bear the burden of bad governance that has led to the paralysis of the transport sector today.

While we acknowledge that the fuel crisis is a direct result of the war against Iran, every responsible government is taking steps to cushion their citizens from the high cost of living.

As a first step, Parliament should convene immediately to ;

✅exempt all fuel products from VAT;
✅temporarily remove all fuel levies to stabilise the fuel prices:
✅redirect more resources being squandered through budgeted corruption to alleviate the energy crisis.

Let us join hands to liberate this country @UGMParty @Maraga27 #ukombozi
