Murkomen had promised to punish the police officers who were spotted beating young men in a pool in Nandi. Kumbe he was transferred to Kikuyu and also promoted.

He’s among the main suspects who killed Dr. Mutiso. Korom

I’ve just learnt that there is a river called the Sagana River, which should serve the people of Kilifi with fresh water. However, it is alleged that a certain individual has acquired all the water rights to the Sagana River through the former governor, who is currently the Speaker. The river belongs to the community, but apparently, the water doesn’t. 🤦🏽‍♂️

That Ruto is cornered is no longer something to dismiss, because the political mood, the anger on the ground and the fractures around him are becoming harder to ignore.

“Ruto Must Go” can win an election, but it cannot run a country, and the opposition must now start telling Kenyans what happens after the celebrations are over.

Start with the national debt. Which loans will they honour, which ones will they audit, what happens to odious or questionable debt, and how exactly will they stop Kenya from borrowing simply to repay previous borrowing?

Then tell us what happens to this bloated government structure where almost every problem has somehow produced an authority, agency, board, council, commission, fund, secretariat, director general, board chairman, CEO, offices, vehicles and allowances.

Why, for example, does Kenya need a whole Kenya Water Towers Agency with its own board and administration to coordinate conservation of water towers instead of placing that work directly inside the responsible ministry alongside the existing forestry, water and environmental departments?

The government itself has admitted that some State corporations have overlapping or duplicated mandates and has been trying to merge or restructure them, which tells you the problem is not imaginary.

How many water agencies does one country need before water actually reaches people's taps, when we already have the Ministry of Water, Water Works Development Agencies, the National Water Harvesting and Storage Authority, Water Resources Authority and other institutions funded from the same taxpayer?

How many agricultural boards, authorities and corporations do we need before farmers receive affordable fertiliser, functioning markets and reasonable prices for what they produce?

How many youth funds, women funds, enterprise funds and empowerment programmes must exist separately, each carrying administrators and operational costs, instead of creating one properly managed financing institution with measurable results?

Why do functions that could comfortably sit as departments inside ministries repeatedly become standalone State corporations requiring CEOs, boards, procurement departments, HR departments, finance departments, legal departments and expensive headquarters?

The opposition must tell us which State corporations it will abolish, which ones it will merge, which boards disappear on day one and how much money those changes will actually save taxpayers.

Tell us what happens to SHA and whether healthcare will continue being built around deductions, unexplained private technology companies and layers of agencies before money finally reaches the hospital treating the patient.

Tell us what happens to the housing levy, and whether government should really be collecting money from every worker, building houses, identifying beneficiaries, financing mortgages and competing with private developers at the same time.

Tell us what happens to university funding, HELB, school capitation and the endless experiments that leave parents discovering new education policies after schools have already opened.

Tell us what happens to county financing and whether governors will continue travelling to Nairobi every few months begging Treasury to release money that Parliament already allocated to counties.

Tell us what happens to corruption cases, because Kenyans do not need another government that arrives with its own thieves, protects them for five years and suddenly discovers corruption when somebody falls out politically.

Tell us what happens to procurement. Will every tender, beneficial owner, contract variation and final payment become publicly searchable, or will we continue pretending transparency exists when more than half of government contractors can remain hidden behind companies?

Tell us what happens to the police. Will the next president still call commanders when he wants opponents arrested, or will Kenya finally build a police service where an officer fears the law more than he fears State House?

Tell us what happens to the DCI, ODPP, EACC, intelligence services and other institutions that become extremely energetic when powerful people have private problems but suddenly develop weak knees when politically connected goons, killers and thieves are involved.

Tell us what happens to State House spending, advisers, presidential delivery units, special envoys, taskforces and endless committees created whenever somebody in government wants another office.

Tell us what happens to Cabinet size, principal secretaries, CAS style positions if they return under another name, government advisers and political appointees scattered through State corporations.

Tell us whether government vehicles will still consume billions transporting officials to meetings where they discuss why government has no money.

Tell us whether every new president will continue creating offices for election losers and coalition partners instead of forcing political parties to carry the cost of their own political settlements.

Tell us what happens to taxes, because promising to reduce taxation is easy until the same politicians enter Treasury and discover they inherited a government whose recurrent expenditure they are unwilling to cut.

Tell us what happens to pending bills, because thousands of businesses have supplied government, paid VAT, borrowed money to perform contracts and then waited years for the State to pay them.

Tell us what happens to electricity costs, fuel taxes, manufacturing, agriculture and small businesses, because Kenya cannot tax itself into prosperity and then wonder why investors move production elsewhere.

And most importantly, tell us what happens to the structure of political power itself.

If all the opposition is offering is another president controlling Parliament, influencing prosecutors, intimidating independent institutions, appointing friends everywhere and borrowing billions with no consequences, then we are simply preparing the next “Must Go” movement.

Ruto going is now a reality.

But Kenya cannot spend the next year discussing who takes the cake without asking why the cake is this expensive, why so many people are eating from it and why ordinary Kenyans are always the ones paying for it.

A CALL FOR HELP. FROM MY DM🛑

"Good morning, sir.

My name is Jonah, from Mirangine Ward in Nyandarua County. I am writing this with a heavy heart, hoping that someone out there will listen.

My sister is a person living with a disability. She has a chronic progressive illness that has slowly taken almost everything from her. For the past three years she has lived with a permanent suprapubic catheter. What was once a medical solution has now become a source of constant suffering. The bacteria in her urine have become resistant to every antibiotic available in Kenya. There is nothing left that can treat the infection.

Since January, the pain has become unbearable. She now depends on pethidine and morphine three times every single day just to get through the hours. Watching her writhe in agony, knowing that the medication only dulls the pain for a short while, is something no family should ever have to endure.

We still have about KSh 700,000 remaining on our inpatient cover. The problem is that SHA has no contract with Aga Khan Hospital. Without that contract, the money we already have is useless for the treatment she needs. The total cost of the procedures required is approximately KSh 1.9 million.

I have been trying to raise funds through friends and well-wishers. So far we have only managed to gather KSh 200,000. At this rate, I am terrified that we will lose her to the pain before we can get her the help she needs.

I have visited SHA offices more than once. Each time I was told the same thing: there is no contract with Aga Khan, and previous talks failed. What makes this even more painful is that the procedures she requires are listed among the 36 conditions that SHA itself acknowledges are not available in public facilities in Kenya.

Fortunately, there is a specialist at Aga Khan Hospital, Dr. Thikra Shariff, who is one of the pioneers of these procedures in the region. She is ready to perform them. The treatments needed include a full urology examination, retrograde urethrography, urodynamics testing, uroflowmetry, sacral neuromodulation revision, and intradetrusor Onabotulinumtoxin A injection. Together these would restore some measure of bladder function and, more importantly, relieve her of the daily torment she is living through.

I also explored the option of going abroad to an SHA-approved hospital such as Acibadem in Turkey. The cost there came to about USD 40,100 (roughly KSh 5.1 million). SHA would cover KSh 2.2 million, leaving us with a shortfall of nearly KSh 2.9 million — an amount far beyond our reach.

That is why Aga Khan remains our only realistic hope.

I am not a person with wide networks or influence. I have knocked on every door I know how to knock on. If this message reaches you, and if you have a platform, a voice, or simply a kind heart, please help us raise the remaining funds or connect us to anyone who can. My sister is in severe pain every single day. Time is not on our side.

My phone number is 0731 954 321.

Thank you for reading this. Even a shared post or a kind word means more than you can imagine right now.

Our heart goes out to the family and friends of Eric Otieno who was arrested on Saturday and beaten to death at Muthaiga Police Station.

We thought it would end with Albert Ojwang but we were wrong.

They cut down the acacia trees this week at Kenyatta National Hospital. The marabou storks that had nested there for decades didn’t have anywhere to go😭😭😭. Some died. Some got injured. All because nobody thought to check what was living in those branches first.

This is what happens when “development” skips the wildlife-sensitivity conversation entirely. Nairobi keeps growing, but does it have to keep growing over everything else that was already here?

Environmental assessments before tree removal shouldn’t be optional. They should be law am speaking for them, can someone hear me please 😭😭😭

When a dangerous snake enters the village, that’s not the time to have a conversation about the future. The priority is to first get rid of the snake before it kills everyone!

He approached her. She was standing still. That guy needs jail time.

If this goes viral, the city will seek charges.
