Can't even inspect PSVs
Can't ensure proper markings & signage on roads
Can't print plates in time
Couldn't print logbooks
Etc..
But hey, here they are again.
Today we remember every life cut short by the Government of Kenya since December 12, 1963.
And most of all, we remember all victims of the #RejectFinanceBill2024 uprising.
May their blood haunt these b***ar*s!
And may our commitment to remember them water the tree of justice.
Tomorrow marks two years since young Kenyans who stood up against political tyranny were killed for it. Many others were maimed. They are living scars of our brutal political system.
Two things must be clear as we commemorate June 25th: First, the right to peaceful assembly and to picket is constitutional. The government is duty-bound to respect and protect it. It should not unleash goons or interfere. Second, government officials must desist from threatening citizens who are organising to exercise their rights and remember their departed loved ones. Kenyans, killed in 2024 and 2025, deserve justice.
Accountability must be followed with appropriate compensation and permanent memorialization. Cobbling together sham compensation is not justice.
Kenyans must be allowed to exercise their democratic rights, and never again should we witness abductions or forced disappearances.
Enough.
Tuonane kesho!

Today, a new proposal was introduced in the Finance Bill 2026 that would require taxpayers to first pay the principal tax before filing an appeal.
Example: If KRA says a business owes Sh10 million in tax, the business would have to pay the Sh10 million before its appeal can be accepted.
If the business wins, KRA will refund the money or allow it to offset future taxes within 90 days.
David Maraga: Fellow Kenyans, this is my personal pledge to you. I will not steal from you. I will not allow my family or friends to steal from you... If we succeed in confronting impunity and recovering stolen assets, we will reduce the cost of living.
Dear GoK and Committee on Utumishi Girls dorm fire,
Which rule in funerary practice anywhere says that a body must be present for a memorial service to take place?
Release those girls to their families.
And there is more cruelty than care in your decision to pay each family 200k
Kenya plans to sell anonymised, non-personal data from platforms like eCitizen to businesses, researchers, and NGOs.
The plan aims to raise revenue and improve government planning.
[Personal data like names and ID numbers will not be included].
I don’t think many Kenyans have fully realized it yet, but we are living through one of the darkest periods in our nation's history. A time that arguably rivals only the British colonial era.
Housing Levy Locked Forever:
A bold fiscal manoeuvre could lock the controversial housing levy into Kenyan payslips for generations.
Government plans to use the housing levy as loan security to borrow Sh100 billion.

So, collapse your emotions, good or bad about the 2 presidents. This is a masterclass in strategic communications by Cyril Ramaphosa. He doesn't mention Ruto or his decision to bend to the USA on Ebola. He doesn't criticize the decision but instead, expertly demonstrates a better strategy deployed by RSA. He doesn't need to say "We are concerned that Kenya blah blah blah." But with Ruto standing right there he gives case studies of South Africa's pan African response to Ebola - financial investment, sharing expertise and must importantly, protecting those on African soil from the pandemic. The opposite of what Kenya is doing. And he highlighted this contrast emphatically by focusing on what RSA is doing. Nice example for a strategic comms lecturer to use. How do you expose a disagreement without saying "You are wrong and I disapprove of your methods." Nice.
My heart bleeds for Kenyans because we really think we are the exception to Iran , DRC , Sudan , Afghanistan, Nigeria. The pattern is visible and no one is the exception to bad leadership , greed and corruption.
When KALRO and KEBS warn us there is aflotoxin-laced cereal in the country, and that it has cancer-causing agents, what do they want us, as consumers, to do?
Do we have the means to trace, mop up—and prosecute those selling— toxic grain?
Why does GoK stop at WARNING the public?😮💨
I've been unable to contribute to the convo around do's & don'ts, around the Utumishi tragedy. My thoughts keep going back to the families that have lost their kids. Death itself is hard enough. Burying a child who died in the hands of others is a pain I can't even imagine.
Court Update:
The High Court has granted conservatory orders restraining the Government from establishing, operationalising, facilitating, approving, or permitting any Ebola quarantine, isolation, exposure, or treatment facility in Kenya pursuant to the challenged arrangement with the United States or any other foreign government pending the hearing and determination of the petition.
The Court has further prohibited the admission into, transfer to, receipt within, or facilitation of entry into Kenya of persons exposed to or infected with Ebola under the challenged arrangement.
The Court has also compelled the Respondents to disclose all agreements, negotiations, approvals, risk assessments, and operational protocols relating to the proposed facility and arrangement within 7 days.
These orders maintain the current state of affairs, prevent irreversible actions from being taken before constitutional scrutiny, and ensure transparency and public accountability in a matter raising significant concerns about public health, sovereignty, and constitutional governance.
