The RSF is welcome in Kenya, but not the Burundian street vendor. A militia that has killed and discriminated on the basis of ones ethnicity and race has the diplomatic red carpet rolled out for its leaders. Yet the scapegoat for a struggling economy is the Burundian street vendor.

Today, a Rwandan trader in Mwiki was robbed of his bucket of mandazi, two thermos flasks of black coffee, and the money he had made selling to honest people.

The thieves were chang’aa addicts who thought they had found an easy target.

Unfortunately for them, they found the wrong neighbourhood.

I responded immediately from Maji Mazuri. One robber left the encounter with fewer teeth than he arrived with; another went home with a head injury. Meanwhile, we raised KSh 3,500 for our fellow African trader to help him get back on his feet.

Let me be very clear: we are not going to stand by while criminals prey on hardworking Africans trying to survive.

A man wakes up, makes mandazi and coffee, carries his little business on his back and comes to Kenya to earn an honest living. The least we can give him is security and dignity.

To the mugukaa, miraa, & chang’aa gang: mandazi is not your inheritance, coffee is not your birthright, and Mwiki is not a free-for-all buffet.

We are Africans before we are anything else.

We welcome our brothers and sisters from across this continent, and we will defend their right to work peacefully.

Kenya must never become another South Africa where fellow Africans are attacked simply because they crossed a border looking for a better life.

We can be tough on criminals without becoming cruel to foreigners.

Leave hardworking traders alone.

Let them hustle.

Let them eat.

Let them go home safely.

The EU has banned TPO (Trimethylbenzoyl Diphenylphosphine Oxide) - an ingredient found in gel manicures.

This ingredient is a "photoinitiator", which allows gel polish to cure under ultraviolet (UV) light to make the varnish more durable and hold its colour for longer. 

Several animal studies have linked the chemical TPO to long-term fertility damage and reproductive issues.

It has just been reclassified as a Category 1B CMR (Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, or Reprotoxic) substance with reproductive implications.

Some questions answered here:

I never imagined I'd be the one asking for help.
I've spent my life on the other side checking pulses, holding hands, telling patients "you'll be okay." Today, I'm the one who needs to hear that.

This is Day One of appealing to my 30 Followers,online community and well-wishers to help me raise the Sh6 million needed for my kidney transplant.

No one should leave a police station in a body bag. Deaths in police custody are not statistics. They are lives lost, families shattered, and a test of our commitment to justice and human dignity. We urge IPOA and all relevant authorities to investigate every custodial death independently, thoroughly, and transparently, and ensure accountability where wrongdoing is established. Silence protects impunity. Truth protects lives.#EndCustodialDeaths

Sifuna should go to the mountain and secure the votes of sane Kenyans in the mountain who want to see change. This old mentality of tribal kingpins gatekeeping support is a thing of the past. We want a break from that BS.

The Chief Justice is right in stating that sexual offences should and will not be handled in AJS. This a necessary affirmation of the dignity, safety and rights of survivors. Rape, defilement, sodomy and domestic violence are not disputes but crimes. You do not negotiate trauma. You prosecute it.

AJS has its place in our justice system, for commercial disputes, neighbourhood conflicts, restorative processes where parties bargain from relatively equal power. But in sexual and gender‑based violence, the power imbalance is structural and brutal. The law cannot tell a survivor to sit across the table from their abuser and bargain away accountability.

We have seen the damage when sexual offences are pushed into informal settlements. Silence, intimidation, family agreements that erase the survivor and entrench impunity. Communities are pressured to protect the perpetrator’s name, not the survivor’s future. When the court abdicates to such processes, it abandons its constitutional duty to protect the vulnerable.

Saying no AJS for sexual offences is, therefore, a line in the sand. Some harms are so grave that the State must speak, investigate, and prosecute loudly and clearly. Article 27 on equality, Article 28 on human dignity, Article 29 on freedom and security of the person all demand more than compromise, they demand justice. Survivors deserve a courtroom that believes them, not a backroom that bargains them away.

Kenyatta National Hospital cut down trees with active bird nests over the weekend. Some died and more were injured. KNH then issued a public statement claiming they are "working with authorities" on the welfare of the injured birds which is a lie.

No authority responded. The birds were rescued and are being cared for by a wildlife rescuer, at their own expense, while KNH takes credit in a press statement for work they did not do. They have not contributed at all to the welfare of the birds and this speaks to a deeper problem.

They did it on a weekend when NEMA and KFS offices are closed, when there is no one to inspect, no one to stop the chainsaws, and no one to hold anyone accountable.

Weekend tree cutting has become a familiar tactic in Kenya precisely because enforcement disappears on Saturdays and Sundays.

Did KNH have a valid permit to cut these trees? If so, who issued it, NEMA or KFS, and did they inspect the trees beforehand?

Nesting activity is visible. Active nests are not hard to spot. If a permit was issued despite that, someone signed off on this knowing birds were there.

If a permit did exist, NEMA and KFS owe the public an explanation for how it was approved without any environmental or ecological check on active nesting sites.

KNH does not get to issue a statement claiming welfare action it did not take, while a private individual absorbs the actual cost and labour of caring for the birds their tree felling harmed.

Did KNH hold a valid tree cutting permit and if so they should make it public.
Which agency issued it, and on what basis?

Will KNH now cover the costs of caring for the birds their actions harmed?

Didn't I say this is what will happen.

People mistake the hate the mountain has for Kasongo and his betrayal to mean, love for Riggy G.

That is why I said Sifuna can climb the mountain, so can Maraga and any other candidate with a national appeal.

The law is the law. It does not matter for how long the law has been violated. Article 138(1) & (2) of the Constitution, on the Procedure at presidential election, categorically provides:
(1) If only one candidate for President is nominated, that candidate shall be declared elected.
(2) If two or more candidates for President are nominated, an election shall be held in each constituency.
Voting at elections is conducted as provided under Article 86, which provides:

86. At every election, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries
Commission shall ensure that-

(a) whatever voting method is used, the system is simple, accurate, verifiable, secure, accountable and transparent;

(b) the votes cast are counted, tabulated and the results announced promptly by the presiding officer at each polling station;

(c) the results from the polling stations are openly and accurately collated and promptly announced by the returning officer; and (d) appropriate structures and mechanisms to eliminate electoral malpractice are put in place, including the safekeeping of election materials.

From the law above, there is no way the results for the Presidential elections cannot be announced at the Constituency as required by the Constitution. #ReKe #GetitDone #KnowYourConstitution

HISTORIC VICTORY. HIGH COURT DECLARES THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT ON LAND JUSTICE IN KENYA.

In my petition, Okiya Omtatah Okoiti v Attorney General & Others, the High Court has declared unconstitutional the provisions of the National Land Commission Act that imposed time limits on the Commission’s constitutional mandate to review grants of public land and investigate historical land injustices.

The Court affirmed a simple but powerful principle. Parliament cannot diminish or extinguish powers that the Constitution has vested in an independent constitutional commission. Justice delayed cannot become justice denied through legislative deadlines.

This judgment restores hope to thousands of Kenyans and communities who were locked out of justice by arbitrary statutory time bars. The constitutional path to redress for historical land injustices remains open.

The Constitution has prevailed. Land justice has no expiry date.
