Wamunyoro political recruitment agency! @skmusyoka and @edwinsifuna turn up for their interviews, but the sitting arrangements steal the show. Mr. Shiny things, know your equals. At Wamunyoro, even the chairs have ranks. Not everyone gets the same seat at the interview table!

President William Ruto has launched the construction of the Kandwia–Kyuso–Tseikuru Road in Kora, Kitui County, a project of great significance to the region.

The President has also directed the contractor to construct the 3km stretch leading to Wiper leader @skmusyoka homestead. Interestingly, this project is being undertaken not by KeRRA, but by the Kenya National Highways Authority (@KeNHAKenya), underscoring the importance the President attaches to it.

I convey my heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of the 23 people who lost their lives in the tragic road accident at Kanga near Mtito Andei on Nairobi-Mombasa Highway in Makueni County.

This is a painful and devastating loss for the families and for the nation. We share in your grief during this difficult time, and we pray for strength and comfort for the families. I also wish a quick recovery to all those who were injured.

I take this opportunity to urge all drivers, especially those operating public service vehicles, to exercise utmost caution and observe traffic rules to safeguard lives.

I further direct all relevant authorities to ensure thorough inspection of public service vehicles to guarantee compliance with safety standards so that accidents can be eliminated.

Today, I had the honour of attending Mashujaa Day in Eldoret, Kenya, where I delivered remarks paying tribute to the heroes who fought for freedom and those who made the ultimate sacrifices to safeguard their nation. I honour their courage and legacy!

Kenya’s history of courage and sacrifice resonates deeply with Ethiopia’s own story of Adwa, where Ethiopians from every corner of the country united to defend their homeland. These shared histories remind us that freedom was never given; it was won through courage, unity, and sacrifice.

As our histories are intertwined, so too must our futures be. Through the spirit of Medemer, Ethiopia and Kenya must continue building on our existing cooperation in clean energy, connectivity, telecommunications, and trade to create greater opportunities and shared prosperity for our people.

To all those honoured today, I salute you. Happy Mashujaa Day!

Mashujaa Day 2026

[William Samoei Ruto, PhD @WilliamsRuto]

Presided over the 63rd Mashujaa Day celebrations at Kipchoge Keino Stadium in Eldoret City, Uasin Gishu County.

As we honour the heroes and heroines who fought for our independence, we are reminded of the ideals of equality, dignity and shared opportunity for which they sacrificed.

These are the same ideals that continue to guide our efforts to build a more inclusive and prosperous Kenya.

SPONSOR @4thPresidentKE, Leo usizime TV! Eldoret City imekupa HOMEWORK ya kuanalyze mpaka 2027.

The CITY OF CHAMPIONS has spoken! Ground imeleta DATA ambayo hashtags, Twitter noise na boardroom meetings haziwezi kuficha. Your opposition was busy making noise, but leo ground imewakumbusha kwamba politics ni zaidi ya keyboard warriors.

Sponyo, remain tuned! Hii episode ya Eldoret usiiskip!

Kitale has given @GeorgeNatembeya and @edwinsifuna a practical lesson in political intelligence. These two were hiding 2km outside town, waiting for President Ruto to leave so they could make their grand entrance. Kumbe it was 6:30 PM and the President was still busy addressing Wananchi! By the time they figured out the schedule, their master plan was already on life support. Now we understand why the President keeps saying the opposition has neither an agenda nor brains!

Assented to the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026, and the Kenya Revenue Authority (Amendment) Bill, 2026, at Eldoret State Lodge, Uasin Gishu County.

This amendment Act extends the reduction of VAT on petroleum products from 16 per cent to 8 per cent for another 90 days to cushion Kenyans against high fuel prices.

It also introduces reforms to excise duty on tiles, sanitary ware and glass products to lower construction costs, boost the housing industry and create jobs.

On its part, The Kenya Revenue Authority (Amendment) Act strengthens KRA's governance and financing, improving efficiency and revenue collection without increasing taxes.
