🚨 WAKE UP, KENYA!
An employer who stops a working mother from breastfeeding her baby risks a KSh 1,000,000 fine, 1 year in jail, AND KSh 10,000 EVERY SINGLE DAY until they comply!
This is the Breastfeeding Mothers Bill, 2024, by Sabina Chege - and it’s about to change everything.
Right now, our sisters are forced to pump in dirty toilets, hide in cars, or stop breastfeeding completely just to keep their jobs. Some cry every day. Some lose their jobs. Some choose between milk for their baby and a paycheck.
Enough is enough.
Here’s what the Bill actually says:
Clauses 3 & 4: Employers MUST provide private, clean, ventilated lactation spaces with a fridge, sink, power outlets, lockable door and seating. Bathrooms and toilets are STRICTLY banned.
Clause 5: Mothers get reasonable paid breaks to breastfeed or express milk for babies up to 24 months.
Clause 6: Mothers can request flexible hours or assignments. If the boss says no, they must give written reasons within 14 days.
Clause 7: Zero discrimination based on pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding.
Clauses 8 & 9: Breastfeeding in public is fully protected and CANNOT be called an “indecent act.” Buildings with 50+ capacity must install baby-changing facilities.
Clause 10: The hammer - KSh 1 million fine / 1 year in jail + KSh 10,000 daily for every day they keep violating the law.
Honestly this is a bill worth supporting.
Next: Green mobility taxes.
Proposal: The government wanted to remove VAT exemptions on some green mobility products, including electric motorcycles and bicycles.
MPs rejected the proposal, saying it could slow down adoption of cleaner transport.
Decision: The VAT exemptions for these products remain.

A petition has been filed in court to stop banks from raising loan interest rates and charges without asking customers.
The case says banks should not change loan costs on their own and should follow clear rules
Kerosene is mostly used by unemployed, peasants, workers and people living in slums.
These buffoons want to target the poorest Kenyans, most of them in rural areas and slums.
What kind of nonsense is this?
For the first time in Kenya, we have a prediction market.
The new platform is called 5050Markets that allows users to trade on the outcome of real-world events.
I know I said I'm bowing out of X for a few days, but ,

One brutal truth this economy taught me:
It doesn’t care if I’m smart.
When Plan A fails fast, I improvise B, C, and D.
I don’t quit. You either switch plans or your own don finish.
Can we all just agree that it’s time we stop voting for parties and start voting for individuals? Party loyalty is the reason we have one of the most useless parliament. Leaders who serve their party bosses instead of the people who elected them.
