KTN once exposed how Somalis were given Kenyan national IDs and even passports. The people like Murkomen said that it was fake news.
Today the president of Somalia confirmed that it’s indeed true.
Ruto should just visit KNH disguised as a patient and get to interact with 5 real patients suffering from his healthcare system. He will leave KNH singing Wantam louder than all of us.
The promise that university will now be free for all sounds like progress but when it comes months to an election, after years of complaints about a broken funding model, Kenyans are entitled to ask, is this policy or politics?
For years, universities have been running on deficits, students have been locked out or saddled with loans, and the new student‑centred funding model has left families choosing courses they can afford rather than those they qualify for. Half of public universities are already potentially insolvent, and HELB can fund barely a fifth of first‑years under current allocations.
If the State could not sustainably fund the existing model, how does it suddenly find resources to fully fund every KUCCPS‑placed student without a clear legal framework, costed plan and honest conversation about trade‑offs in health, housing and other services? A constitutional government must not dangle free rights as campaign bait while hiding the fiscal maths from the very citizens expected to pay the bill.
I stand with students, parents, lecturers and workers who want real reform, not last‑minute promises. We demand transparent costings tabled in Parliament, a credible financing law, and guarantees that any move towards universal higher‑education funding will not collapse already struggling institutions or deepen inequality between those in public and private universities.
Free, quality university education is a legitimate aspiration but it must be built openly, sustainably and with citizens at the centre, not announced from a rally podium as a political surprise. Kenyans deserve more than applause lines, they deserve a plan.
You might think I am joking, but there is no single Kenyan in their right mind planning to vote for President Ruto in 2027. None whatsoever. Most Kenyans around the country refer to him as "the murderer".
