Some leaders spend years in opposition behaving like intellectual revolutionaries, passionately diagnosing every national problem, attacking government incompetence, and presenting themselves as the enlightened alternative destined to rescue the country.
Suddenly, the same people who once mastered the language of criticism became experts in excuses
During Uhuru's tenure, matatus indeed went on strike 4 times.

We don't suffer from selective amnesia like this rogue regime.
This is @KIMANIICHUNGWAH lecturing Uhuru Kenyatta when fuel was 135 shillings per litre. Today fuel is at 212 and 246 shillngs and the ML is nowhere to be seen. A government of fools
Kenyans don’t forget. The same leaders who mobilized public anger over fuel at 148 are now silent at 244. That silence is exactly why many people feel betrayed.
Fuel prices rise, matatu fares jump by 50%, electricity costs increase by another Sh4.40 per kWh through new EPRA levies, rent keeps soaring, and food prices climb with every transport adjustment yet salaries remain frozen in time.
At the same time, workers are stripped through a 1.5% housing levy, 2.75% SHIF deduction, 6% NSSF contribution, and crushing PAYE rates of up to 45%, only to still fundraise for hospital bills because public systems barely function.
This is no longer an economy built for citizens; it is an extraction machine where every crisis is transferred to the ordinary Kenyan while wages remain stagnant. Tough times are slowly becoming a permanent economic condition.
EPRA has quietly turned electricity into another taxation machine. In May 2026 alone, Kenyans have been slapped with an extra Sh4.40 per kWh through forex adjustment, fuel energy charges, and water levies.
This means every bulb switched on, every biashara running, and every family trying to survive now pays more, not because salaries increased, but because inefficiency and economic mismanagement must be financed by the ordinary citizen.
EVENTS LEADING TO RAPHAEL TUJU’S DISAPPEARANCE
Former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju has been reported missing in what is now raising serious concern among family and close associates.
According to details emerging, Tuju filed a report at Karen Police Station on Saturday, March 21, 2026, stating that he had been followed on Friday by a white Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series that had no number plates. The report was booked under OB 21/21/03/2026.
Later, Tuju was expected to appear on Ramogi FM at around 7pm on Saturday evening, but he never made it on air.
His family says he has not been seen since Saturday afternoon, and his phone has remained switched off.
The matter took a more alarming turn on Sunday morning, when Mano Tuju, his son, received a call from the OCS at Karen Police Station while in church, informing him that Raphael Tuju’s car had been found abandoned on Miotoni Lane in Karen, Nairobi.
Following that discovery, a missing person report was filed at Karen Police Station under OB 17/22/03/2026.
The sequence of events is now likely to intensify questions over the circumstances under which the former Cabinet Secretary disappeared.
Cheruiyot is behind it. I keep telling you,
Wenye wanaumiza Ruto are his Murkeeth THUGS
Wao wananona, Rais ndio ako kubaki Konde Boy,
If Ruto had put a leash on these Boscos, angetoboa 2nd term
But akipewa files na Walalo wa Thika Rd, hasomi
Ako siasa za juu ya gari 😒
Police deployed teargas again today, apparently hoping to disperse the gathering.
Edwin Sifuna urged supporters to remain calm, stay put, and continue peacefully.
When one officer was attacked, he immediately told the crowd to stop.
That is leadership under pressure.
