TotalEnergies has been ordered to pay Ksh. 54,344,437.36 for rent overcharges and Ksh 11,085,805 in pending rebates to Farooq Charania, after the Energy and Petroleum Tribunal ruled in his favour. The Tribunal also declared parts of Total's Marketing Licence Agreement (MLA) unconscionable and unenforceable,holding that they unfairly gave the company excessive powers over dealers.
The dealer argued that Total charged excessive rent, withheld rebates, under-delivered fuel and imposed unfair contract terms. A valuation report presented to the Tribunal assessed the fair monthly rent at Ksh. 194,000, yet the dealer showed that Total was demanding over KES 1 million per month in rent. Since Total did not produce its own valuation report to challenge those figures, the Tribunal upheld the claim and awarded Ksh. 54.3 million for rent overcharges, in addition to ordering payment of the Ksh. 11.08 million in admitted pending rebates.
However, the Tribunal dismissed the fuel under-delivery claim, finding that although there were unexplained fuel losses, there was not enough evidence to prove they were caused by Total. It also directed EPRA to investigate Total's fuel delivery and reconciliation practices to ensure compliance with the Energy Act.

The High Court has ordered Safaricom and DTB to pay a customer Ksh. 4.42 million that was fraudulently withdrawn from her bank account following a SIM swap fraud. The customer reported the unauthorized SIM swap to Safaricom immediately, but before the issue was resolved, fraudsters accessed her DTB mobile banking account and transferred Ksh. 4,418,601 through a series of unauthorized transactions.
Both Safaricom and DTB appealed after the lower court found them jointly liable, with each arguing that the other was solely responsible for the loss. The High Court dismissed both appeals, holding that each organization owed its own independent duty of care to the customer and could not escape liability by shifting blame to the other.
The Court found that Safaricom failed to adequately prevent and respond to the unauthorized SIM swap, while DTB failed to detect and stop suspicious high-value transactions despite obvious red flags. It upheld the lower court's decision, ordering Safaricom to bear 60% of the loss and DTB 40%, reaffirming that organizations handling personal data and digital financial services must take proactive steps to protect customers from fraud.

The so-called “calculator riots” of 1986 serve as a powerful reminder that today’s anxieties about artificial intelligence replacing human thinking are far from new.
In April 1986, a determined group of math educators staged a vocal protest outside the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) annual convention in Washington, D.C. Led by influential textbook author John Saxon, demonstrators carried signs declaring, “The Button’s Nothin’ ’Til the Brain’s Trained.”
They were opposing the NCTM’s new recommendation to incorporate electronic calculators into mathematics education at every grade level, including homework and exams.
The protesters worried that reliance on calculators would erode students’ mental arithmetic skills, numerical intuition, and deep conceptual understanding, potentially creating a generation of “calcuholics” overly dependent on machines.
The NCTM countered that calculators would free students from repetitive, low-level calculations, enabling them to tackle more complex problem-solving and higher-order thinking. Ultimately, the debate led to a pragmatic compromise: students would first master core mathematical concepts and mental strategies before using calculators as tools for more advanced work.
This balanced approach allowed technology to enhance, rather than replace, mathematical reasoning.
Today, as schools navigate the rapid rise of generative AI, the 1986 calculator compromise offers a valuable blueprint: prioritize genuine understanding first, then thoughtfully integrate powerful new tools.
@setanindeta@HusseinMohamedg They are asking the police to do their job. Why is this bothering you? Were you involved, so that you can intimately speak as to who and what their motives were?
@DaudiMuya1@HusseinMohamedg@Maryian96 Has anyone stopped you or @maryian96 from presenting a protest note to the National Police Service? Stop infringing on the constitutional rights of others to do as they please, and obliquely suggesting Rachel's murder is somehow less detestable because she was not a child.
@RajabNasir7@hamisi_njama Where is your humanity? A human being has died - not a goat or cow or dog - a person created in God's image.
You are now comfortable with murder? Is her life less valuable because others died? If you died tomorrow, we should not mourn you?
@ThaKrazymisfit What does knowing a song she sang have anything to do with her murder? Are you justifying it? So tomorrow, others whose songs we know should be doused with acid?
@UnitedItal Are you saying she deserves to die, because Rex and the others died? Is her life less valuable? Should we ask Anne to grieve for everyone who has died during protests?
@davimasinde The only problem with your post is the wording "state santioned" , nowhere has the state sanctioned Safaricom's error, either in your argument or in fact.
@KyaloIntel This 👇🏽👇🏽
"At the very least, there should be a clear warning before completing a transaction:
“The recipient has an outstanding Fuliza balance. Funds may be used to offset debt.
Proceed?”
@Earlx_ai@CcpWakarima@KyaloIntel Earl, he is right - you have deviated from the core issue in Kyalo's response. When you hit reply, you should be responding to the issue at hand.
If you have a separate issue, form you own response from the original post.
