If a boda rider delivers a counterfeit antibiotic, the problem isn't the motorcycle; it's the fact that a fake drug exists in the supply chain. Banning the rider does absolutely nothing to stop the source of fake medicine. Who are these charlatans Ruto appointed?
In a display of regional solidarity and support, I presided over a reception ceremony to welcome Somali football referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan, whose historic World Cup opportunity was abruptly halted last month.
The event, held at Eastleigh's prestigious BBS Mall—renowned as the largest shopping complex in East and Central Africa—celebrated Artan's groundbreaking achievement of being selected as the first-ever Somali referee to officiate at a FIFA World Cup tournament. His selection placed him among an elite group of 52 match officials chosen for the 2026 competition, marking a significant milestone for Somali sports on the global stage.
Despite this professional setback, Artan received a warm reception from both the Somali diaspora community and Kenyan supporters.
The event served as both a celebration of his achievements and a statement of cross-border support in the face of disappointment.
I emphasized resilience and perseverance, encouraging young people across East Africa not to be discouraged by obstacles in their pursuit of dreams. It is important to continuing to striving for excellence despite unexpected challenges.
I also outlined deliberate moves by the 5th administration led by HE president William Ruto in supporting sports and talent.
President William Ruto’s administration allocated KSh 26.4 billion to complete 39 stadiums nationwide to support youth talent this including The newly constructed and soon to be commissioned state of the art 60,000 capacity Talanta Stadium
This geared towards uplifting talent and successfully hosting the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). This historic continental tournament will be jointly hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania under the 'Pamoja Bid'.
Also in attendance was H.E Ahmed Abdullahi (Governor Wajir) H.E Jabril Abdulle (Somalia Ambassador to Kenya) H.E Hussein Mohammed (President FKF) Hon. Farrah Maalim (MP Dadaab) Hon. Yussuf Hassan (MP Kamukunji) and host Abdiweli Maalim (Chairman BBS Mall)
The OCS Pangani is reluctant to accept the High Court Orders & Signal on release of Halima Ngoche on instruction from @DCI_Kenya I’m being denied access to see her too. This conduct undermines the rule of law & the authority of the courts.I’m informed the Prosecutor @ODPP_KE
Today's dismissal of treason charges against Bob Njagi by the Kajiado Law Courts is a victory for the rule of law. We commend the court for upholding its integrity and resisting political manipulation.
Most people are so broke that they don't know how much KSH 1 BILLION is.
Do you people know what KSH 1 BILLION is?
With 1 BILLION:
You spend 100,000 DAILY for 27 YEARS and FIVE MONTHS.
Why, then, do you accept it as normal when politicians steal 600 billion?
Wilberforce Akello’s constitutional petition argues that the Traffic (Motor Vehicle Inspection) Rules, 2026 and NTSA’s notice of 26th June were rolled out without a Regulatory Impact Statement, without meaningful public participation and without timely tabling before Parliament, contrary to the Statutory Instruments Act and Articles 10 and 118 of the Constitution. He also challenges the blanket age‑based inspection rule as irrational and disproportionately punitive to lower‑income motorists who own older cars, turning economic status into a proxy for regulatory burden.
Substantively, the case attacks four pillars of the regime. The compulsory annual inspection for vehicles over four years old (Rule 3/“Rule 31”), the power to de‑register “Category A” salvage vehicles without notice, hearing or compensation (Rule 12/“Rule 122”), the vague offence of “any act intended to circumvent” the Rules (Rule 30(1)(d)), and the booking fees payable to NTSA which are projected to raise billions but are not tied to any disclosed costed service or public‑finance framework as required under Articles 201, 206 and 210.
Crucially, the Court has issued conservatory orders suspending the operation and enforcement of the impugned provisions and the NTSA notice of 26th June, to the extent they affect private non‑commercial vehicles, until June 2027, when the application will be heard inter partes. That means, for now, private car owners cannot be compelled to undergo the new annual inspections or pay the contested booking fees on the strength of the challenged Rules, even as enforcement continues for PSVs, commercial vehicles and school transport under the existing legal framework.
Beyond motorists’ immediate relief, this dispute is a major stress‑test of delegated legislation and administrative power in Kenya. It asks whether Executive agencies can effectively create mass-revenue-raising, criminally‑enforced obligations through subsidiary legislation and shifting press statements, or whether they must submit to the full rigour of constitutional public‑participation, reasonableness, and public‑finance safeguards before loading billions of shillings and penal risk onto citizens.
What happened to the urgent need to quarantine Americans exposed to Ebola at Laikipia Air Base? Ama the minerals from Congo already left via the base?
Thought we were told this was an emergency that couldn’t wait..our guys were even ready to defy court orders 😳😳
So what changed? Has the emergency suddenly disappeared? Or was the urgency only there until whatever needed to happen had already happened?
Uzeni hii nchi kabisa, ata mkitaka uzeni pia zile vijiko ndogo zimebaki za chai🚶🏿♀️🚶🏿♀️
Just like in the David Mokaya Case, (@bozgabi) aka Landlord, we shall defend Mrs. Halima Ngoche zealously against the @DCI_Kenya & @ODPP_KE We have entered appearance together with @VOCALAfrica_ on her behalf and her family. This harassment MUST GO!
Catherine Jerono Tomno aka NTSA misadvised to sue me!
Have told her lawyers to file suit.
Looking forward to the suit so that we trace where the NTSA fines go to!
