Dear Salaried Professional,
If you earn Sh100,000 per month (gross), you mostly pay over Sh22,000 in taxes.
But if you get Sh100,000 in dividends, you pay only Sh5,000 in withholding tax.
And if you make Sh100,000 from capital gains from stocks or infrastructure bonds, you pay Sh0 in taxes.
Invest your money. Let your money work for you.
State House Nairobi spent Sh1.3 billion in January alone, averaging Sh43 million a day.
It has now overspent its budget by Sh2.7 billion in just seven months of the 2025/26 financial year.
This is where we’ve reached as a country
instead of guarding Tsavo like the sacred lifeline it is, we’re carving it up to pamper tourists at $500 to $1,000 a night, while the people who actually own the heritage are left drowning in poverty.
Call it what you want, but don’t insult us by calling it conservation.
This is commercialization dressed as patriotism.
Kenya has become a marketplace where everything is up for auction
land, wildlife, dignity, even the future of our children.
And while luxury hotels rise from our national parks, our classrooms are collapsing, clinics are empty, and every so-called “reform” turns into another scandal.
The same government that can’t fund healthcare has the audacity to erect palaces in protected areas.
The same regime that watches young Kenyans flee to Middle Eastern households as domestic workers suddenly finds billions to please foreign tourists.
It’s cruel. It’s shameless.
And hustlers? They’re not even an afterthought they’re collateral damage.
Look around: by the time this presidency is over,
the scars on our land, our institutions, and our national pride will take decades to heal.
Decades.
And now, as controversy explodes over luxury developments from the disputed Ritz-Carlton Sand River Safari Camp threatening migratory routes in the Maasai Mara to whispers that Tsavo West is next in line, the pattern is too loud to ignore.
Kenya’s protected spaces are being treated like blank cheques.
2027 is not just an election year.
It’s the year revolution knocks on the door.
The year the public stops being polite.
The year the people decide who answers for this damage.
A State of the Nation is not measured by motorcades, groundbreakings, or foreign trips.
It is measured by:
Can a family afford food?
Can a young person get a job?
Can a mother deliver safely?
Can a child go to school without being sent home for fees?
Can a citizen criticize government without harassment?
On all these metrics, Kenya is falling backwards
Earning Ksh 100K a month and spending Ksh 99K is what keeps people broke.
Someone earning Ksh 50K a month but only spends Ksh 15K is richer.
Wealth is created by the gap between what you earn and what you spend.
It's not how much you earn, but how how much you save & invest.
Dear Investor,
Safaricom shareholders have just received Ksh 26 billion in dividends.
No meetings. No phone calls. No paperwork. No emails.
Just passive income hitting their investment accounts.
Question: How much of that landed in your account?
You might not be a Safaricom shareholder but what about other listed companies such as StanChart and Absa that have also issued dividends?
Don’t just watch others cash in. Learn how to earn passive income from dividends too in our 71st Masterclass.
🇰🇪 Last June, blood was spilt at Kenya's Parliament.
To this day, those who spilt it have remained hidden to the world.
But on Monday, #BBCAfricaEye will expose them.

Dear Mr. William Ruto,
As you and your children celebrate Christmas, Kenyan mothers and fathers are crying in their homes because your security agents have abducted their children. Give them back to their families unharmed tonight. Nobody has abducted your children. You told Uhuru Kenyatta not to harm your children. He did not. Mr. Ruto, do not harm Kenya's children. If any Kenyan breaks the law, present them in court. Tonight.
With constitutional greetings,
Mr. John Njenga Karugia
