Happy to have attended the 5th Edition of PDF.

[Okoa Uchumi @OkoaUchumi_KE]

Okoa Uchumi Campaign appeared before the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning to make submissions on Finance Bill 2026.

The proposed Bill introduces measures that could make mobile money transactions more expensive, increase taxes on phones, remove incentives for digital jobs, and raise compliance burdens on small businesses and informal traders. At a time when families are already struggling with the high cost of living, Kenya needs a tax system that is fair, transparent, and supportive of economic opportunity.

With 87% of Kenyans depending on mobile money and youth unemployment at 35%, this is not the moment to increase the cost of digital access or remove the few incentives keeping young people in the formal economy.We are calling on Parliament to review the Bill and ensure that revenue measures do not come at the expense of financial inclusion, youth employment, MSMEs, and access to essential digital services.

A sustainable economy is built on fairness, accountability, and shared prosperity, not increasing the burden on the ordinary wananchi.

The many mama chipo vendors who will now have to ration portions, the bhajias that will have to be reduced leave alone salons, where straightening hair will become more expensive 🥹.

Fix the energy sector, and the economy will be sustained.

[purity jebor @PurityJebor]

You fix matatus and productivity goes up 🥹. How many Kenyans depend on electricity for production and household use? When this crisis narrows down to transport, millions are left stranded. And we can’t even begin to talk about how this increases care work responsibilities.

🚨 Thread Alert

Let’s connect the dots… between term limits and public debt.

Did you know that Kenya bought back the Eurobond that was supposed to begin payments in 2028 but has already gone back to the market with a 2032 bond?

The relationship between debt and term limits starts to form a clear picture. If this government succeeds, repayments will only begin after the completion of their term.

— Diana Gichengo, Executive Director, TISA, spoke on this at the Symposium on Constitutionalism, Term Limits & Public Debt Accountability in Africa, Nairobi.

NPS PARTICIPATES IN EXTERNAL VALIDATION FOR POLICARE TRAINING CURRICULUM WORKSHOP

The National Police Service (NPS) yesterday, 15th April 2026, participated in an external validation workshop for the POLICARE Service Provider Training Curriculum and Occupational Standards.

Held at the Argyle Grand Hotel, the workshop brought together a diverse group of public and private sector experts to refine the curriculum before its formal accreditation by the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Authority.

The curriculum will address key competency areas essential for an effective response to SGBV. These include survivor-centred communication, forensic evidence management, technology-facilitated gender-based violence, medico-legal documentation, child protection, case management, confidentiality, professional ethics, and inter-agency collaboration.

The Inspector General (IG) of the National Police Service, Mr. Douglas Kanja, was represented at the workshop by the NPS Director of Personnel, Dr. Wanderi Mwangi, SAIG.

In his remarks delivered by Dr. Wanderi, IG Kanja expressed appreciation to all stakeholders who have contributed to the validation process, noting that the development of the curriculum is a testament to the strength of partnerships.

He noted that the curriculum adopts a competency-based approach, which aligns with the Government of Kenya’s broader education and training reforms that emphasise the development of practical skills, values, and measurable competencies.

Additionally, he acknowledged that the shift to competency-based training is critical in ensuring standardisation, accountability, and continuous professional development. Most importantly, it strengthens our collective ability to provide timely, coordinated, and dignified support to survivors.

He reaffirmed the NPS's commitment to strengthening the POLICARE model and enhancing multi-sectoral collaboration, recognising that meaningful impact can only be achieved through partnership, shared standards, and continuous improvement.

Present during the exercise were the KPS Director of Gender and Children's Affairs, Ms. Dolly Oduor, AIG; NPS Deputy Director of Training and Research, Dr. Gideon Kirui, CP; National Police Leadership Academy (NPLA) Trainer, Ms. Sicily Gatiti, CP; and POLICARE’s Ms. Zipporah Nderitu, SSP.

Partners present included Country Director for Search for Common Ground, Ms. Judy Kimamo; NPSC Acting Director of Appeals, Policy & Legal Affairs, Ms. Eunice Nyonga; IPOA Commissioner Dr. Annette Mbogoh; Global Head of Regional and Multi-Country Programmes, Save the Children International, Mr. Anthony Njoroge; Head of Partnerships, Centre for Rights Education and Awareness, Ms. Angelina Sikandal; Staff Sergeant BATUK, Ms. Amy Thompson; alongside other officials.

Supporting households with care responsibilities is not just a social imperative but also a driver of macroeconomic growth.

[Oxfam Kenya @oxfamkenya]

Women often spend up to 14 hrs a day on tasks like cleaning, cooking, & collecting water, limiting their ability to work, study, or engage in public life. Promoting a just society where women have more time & choice, and where carers' voices are heard should be our commitment.

🎙️ Catch our Head of Programs, Alexander Riithi, live today on #CitizenDayBreak unpacking what’s really going on with Kenya’s money 👀💰
We’re getting into: • The reality of the 2025/26 budget implementation & supplementary estimates
• Mega projects in motion, SGR to Malaba, KSh 900M stadiums in Wajir, Mandera, Vihiga & more
• The NIF rollout, what it means for citizens
• The Railway Development Levy Fund where is the money going?
But beyond the headlines, we’re asking the real questions: 👉 Can Kenya sustain a continuously expanding budget?
👉 Are we actually able to absorb these mega projects and at what cost to wananchi?
This is about priorities, accountability, and the lived reality behind the numbers.
📺 Tune in and join the conversation. #OkoaUchumi #PublicFinance #Accountability

@MusaliaMudavadi How Kenyans were recruited as fighters without Government knowledge is still a mistry🥹.
Labour migration is very good but, it has to be safe migration. Otherwise what we have been exposed to is modern human trafficking 😒

Without proper support, trauma can affect relationships, work, education, and overall wellbeing.

In a world where speaking up can come at a cost, it often takes even greater courage for women to demand accountability.

From the informal sector and community spaces to newsrooms, civil society, and public office, women continue to question power, raise their voices, and insist that leadership must serve the people.

This International Women’s Day, TISA celebrates this bravery and reaffirms our commitment to building an inclusive, gender-responsive movement where women are empowered to lead change and shape a more just future. ✊🏽🌸

[Evans Ouma @evansy_papito]

Unpaid care work is not just a “family issue.”
It is a gender equality issue. A policy issue. An economic justice issue.
We must:
✔️ Recognize unpaid care work
✔️ Reduce the burden through services and infrastructure
✔️ Redistribute care responsibilities fairly btn men & women

Today’s visit by @johngithongo and civil society leaders was a powerful reminder of why Kenya’s story matters — Baba’s huge role in civil society in a nation that keeps moving forward. We reflected on the journey, the hurdles overcome, and the leadership that has guided our path.
Grateful to all who came to stand with us.
