It is absolutely NOT OPEN to FKE to advise employers to use NSSF rates prescribed under a law declared as UNCONSTITUTIONAL. It is not a matter of unilateral employer choice or discretion. Employers must revert to the old rates unless they secure their employees' consent, or they set aside the prevailing court order.

It bears repeating: unless & until set aside, court orders must be obeyed, else we end up in a situation of anarchy & legal confusion.

For clarity, any employer who makes unlawful deductions on an employee's payslip is LIABLE to the employee under both law & contract for the deducted sum. Only permitted coercive deductions are statutory deductions or those arising from a court order. Other deductions must be voluntary i.e. founded on employee's written consent or on a collective bargaining agreement (CBA).

There’s a culture in Kenya where people are expected to endure toxic workplaces simply because finding another job might be difficult.

Kenya has no free-to-air TV deal yet for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with about 10 days to kick-off.

So far only pay TV broadcasters SuperSport, Azam TV and New World TV hold the rights for live coverage.

Exactly my question

[Sideways for attention,long way for results @Dialmaterialist]

If the president can order diesel price reduction by fiat, then what exactly is the EPRA formula and what is the function of the EPRA in price determination?

If there is such a thing as an open secret, I’m going to let you in on one:
Capitalism favors owners (owners of capital).
Since most of us start with no inheritance, we enter the system with only our labor. 1/4

[Okiya Omtatah Okoiti @OkiyaOmtatah]

When you hear politicians suddenly uniting to tell you who the “enemy” is, pause and ask yourself one question:

Who benefits when citizens are divided and distracted?

Too often, the political class closes ranks not to defend the people, but to defend the system that feeds them. They want Kenyans fighting each other while corruption, impunity, unemployment, and economic injustice continue unchecked.

The moment someone begins questioning the structure of exploitation, the wardens of the prison quickly unite and point at a new “enemy” to keep the prisoners distracted.

Kenyans must stop worshipping political camps and start defending principles. Accountability is not tribal. Justice is not regional. Truth is not partisan.

The real struggle is not between ordinary citizens. The real struggle is between a corrupt system and the people paying the price for it every day.

[Ms. Angie @AngelMwendee]

The sooner we all realize that no one is immune & that governance affects everyone, that silence is not an option, and that no amount of personal success will shield us from systemic collapse, the sooner we might actually demand better.

Dear Kenyans, unfortunately, the Senate has today passed the proposed amendment to FCM Act including Section 56(2), without any amendments and through an alarmingly rushed process. We urge President William Ruto not to assent to the Bill. Our forests must live. #SaveOurForests

DID YOU KNOW? 🇰🇪

Under the Access to Information Act, any public office you write to for information MUST respond within 21 working days.

Whether you’re asking about a local road project’s cost or a national debt contract, they cannot simply ignore you. If they do, they are in breach of the law!

Pro-Tip: If the 21 days are up and your inbox is empty, it’s time to call the Ombudsman (CAJ). Accountability isn't just a request; it's your Constitutional right.

[Okiya Omtatah Okoiti @OkiyaOmtatah]

Harry Truman once said: “The only thing new in the world is the history you do not know.”

Fellow Kenyans, our crisis did not begin yesterday.

The looting. The illegal debt. The betrayal of the Constitution. The collapse of public services. The silence of career politicians. These are old scripts repeated by leaders who believe Kenyans forget quickly.

They believe another scandal will trend. Another distraction will come. Another funeral, another handshake, another coalition, another slogan.

Meanwhile, you pay more taxes for debts you never approved and never benefited from.

Between 2014 and 2024, Kenya borrowed Sh9.11 trillion. Only Sh2.57 trillion received proper parliamentary approval. The remaining Sh6.54 trillion is odious debt, unconstitutional borrowing forced onto the backs of struggling citizens.

This is why food prices rise while wages stagnate. This is why hospitals lack medicine while billions disappear. This is why schools decline while politicians grow richer. This is why young people graduate into hopelessness.

And while Kenya bleeds, legacy politicians remain silent. Many are not fighting to fix the system. They are fighting to inherit it.

They criminalize protesters. They weaponize police. They reward political loyalists with advisory jobs funded by taxpayers. They protect corruption networks while ordinary Kenyans suffer.

We go to court because the Constitution is the last line of defense between the people and organized state plunder.

From the struggle for independence in 1963, to Saba Saba, to the 2010 Constitution, every generation of Kenyans has been called to defend freedom against greed and impunity. History is watching us now.

If we remain silent while our country is looted, future generations will remember us as the people who watched Kenya collapse and did nothing.

Read history. Defend the Constitution. Reject fear. Reject silence. Reject thieves disguised as leaders.

We must be a nation that reads, remembers, and refuses to be misled by the same old tricks. Know your history, defend your rights, and let us not be "newly" surprised by what we should have already learned.

Kenya istahili heshima

6th May, 2026

Africa Uncensored and Lighthouse Reports appreciate that the Social Health Authority’s management took the time to respond to our publication. We also welcome rigorous public discourse and exchange, which is why we submitted a detailed series of questions to SHA before publishing on Monday 4th May, 2026, which did not receive a response until now. We believe that nothing in this response substantively addresses those questions, nor does it refute our findings.
We encourage SHA to respond to the submitted questions in detail, which, among other things, ask for key details around the equitability of the model — including for low-income households — and key design decisions that influenced outcomes therein. The public has the right to understand how unsupervised algorithms make decisions about them. We would direct you again to our reporting, findings, methodology, and our initial right of reply here: https://t.co/50Ycp5fzsW.

[Faith Odhiambo @FaithOdhiambo8]

When two heads of state meet to discuss how to whip and discipline citizens demanding accountability, we’ve crossed from democracy into dictatorship. President Suluhu’s call for President Ruto to join her in suppressing Gen Zs is a conspiracy against constitutional rights.

The audacity to frame calls for good governance as notorious behaviour that must be tamed is an insult to every freedom our constitutions guarantee. Democracy is anchored on the fundamental pillars of the rule of law, human rights and accountable leadership. These aren’t negotiable.

If exercising our constitutional right to protest makes us deserving of canes and whips then our leaders have forgotten who they serve. We will not be silenced. We will not be beaten into submission. The Constitution is our shield and defender and not the whims of those who fear accountability.
