@GathuruCate@AirbnbHelp Sorry for the delay, yes they did. I had to keep calling them multiple times a day. Let me DM you an audio guide that has worked for others.
@AirbnbHelp, @Airbnb, I’m a Kenyan host experiencing a serious tax verification issue that is affecting multiple hosts in Kenya. On 5/6/26 my valid & active business KRA PIN & info was suddenly rejected. Airbnb increased my WHT from 5% to 20% despite having valid documentation.

Let this radicalise you. In early 2024, the govt bulldozed our homes in Mathare. Many people became homeless and others were plunged into serious economic ruin. Hii ndio the 1st nililalaa njaa juu ya umaskini. May the people's revolution materialise in our lifetime.

An amazing scene was spotted in Kenya along the Mombasa–Nairobi highway, where the Kenya Wildlife Service stopped traffic from both sides to allow a herd of elephants to cross Tsavo National Park.
A reminder of why Julian Assange was persecuted and targeted by the US for over a decade:
Among the many Wikileaks revelations was the Collateral Murder footage from Iraq, in which a US Apache helicopter opens fire.
Reuters journalists Saeed Chmagh and Namir Noor-Eldeen were gunned down, several others were killed while the US pilots laughed.
During Ruto's live show from Kisumu State House on Monday night, there were three power blackouts that sent the room and TV screens into total darkness. Frustrated by the continued interruptions, his reaction showed exactly what is wrong with his governance style.
Rather than demand that Kenya Power play their role and supply uninterrupted power as their mandate requires, he asked his surrogates why the place wasn't connected to a generator. He forgot that if State House wasn't getting a steady supply, ordinary mortals in the town and its environs have been seeing hell at the hands of Kenya Power.
If he was Paul Kagame, he would have fired Opiyo Wandayi and the entire Kenya Power management, and ordered a review of power supply infrastructure and operations in Kisumu and the region. But Ruto thrives on short term measures.

PRESS STATEMENT
WHY KENYA'S ELECTORAL SYSTEM MUST PASS THE CONSTITUTIONAL TEST
Fellow Kenyans,
Yesterday, I appeared before the High Court in a constitutional case concerning the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (@IEBCKenya) and the integrity of Kenya's electoral system.
The petition asks the Court to test the entire chain of our elections - how Kenyans register, how they are identified at the polling station, how their votes are cast and counted, and how results are transmitted, verified and declared - against the standards the Constitution itself sets.
That question is simple to state: Does Kenya's electoral system meet the constitutional test?
Article 81 requires that elections be administered in a manner that is impartial, neutral, efficient, accurate and accountable. Article 86 requires that, whatever method is used to cast, count and transmit votes, that method be simple, accurate, verifiable, secure, accountable and transparent. The Elections Act sets the same standard for the technology IEBC deploys.
The Constitution anticipates an electoral process that is not just free and fair, but one that is also tamper-proof. Free and fair speaks to conduct on the day; tamper-proof speaks to the design of the system itself - whether it can withstand interference at any point in the chain, and whether that can be proven, not merely assumed.
To be clear, this case is not just simply about paper versus electronics.
Kenya's system already combines both - paper ballots, electronic voter identification, and electronic transmission of results. Technology, properly designed and independently verifiable, can be a powerful ally of electoral integrity: it can reduce unnecessary human discretion, create reliable audit trails, make results easier, not harder, to verify, and significantly reduce the cost of elections.
But technology is not self-certifying. It does not become trustworthy simply because it is technology. Like every other part of the electoral chain, it must be shown to satisfy the Constitution's own tests of transparency, verifiability, security and accountability - and, ultimately, to be tamper-proof.
That is the real question before the Court: does the entire electoral chain - registration, identification, casting, counting, tallying, transmission, verification and declaration - give Kenyans sufficient safeguards that their vote, once cast, cannot be manipulated, mishandled, or rendered impossible to verify?
This is not a personal quarrel with @IEBCKenya. It is a constitutional and public-interest matter.
Sovereignty in this country belongs to the people, and the vote is the sole instrument by which that sovereignty is exercised. An electoral system that cannot be meaningfully verified is not one the Constitution permits us to accept on faith.
I want to be precise about where this matter stands. The High Court has not ruled on the merits. The parties were heard, and the constitutional questions remain before the Court. I respect that process fully and will abide by whatever directions and determination the Court makes.
My role as a citizen, a public representative, and the petitioner in this matter is to ensure these questions are placed squarely before the Court and answered according to the Constitution and the law, not according to convenience or assumption.
Kenyans should not have to be told their votes were counted correctly. They should be able to verify it. That is the standard the Constitution sets, and it is the standard we are asking the Court to enforce.
The vote belongs to the people. The Constitution protects it. Our electoral system must do the same - free, fair, and tamper-proof.
We proceed, firmly and within the law.
God bless Kenya.

I have been suspended from the @Senate_KE for three sitting days for REFUSING to withdraw the word “yapping” in describing the President’s ROADSIDE declaration on undocumented immigrants.
I respect the Chair, but I will not surrender the constitutional duty to speak truth to power.
Article 135 requires PRESIDENTIAL decisions made under the Constitution to be in WRITING , SEALED and SIGNED. A roadside utterance cannot acquire the force of law simply because it comes from the President.
If calling out UNCONSTITUTIONAL governance is punishable, then the greater danger is not the word “yapping”. It is the growing intolerance for accountability.
Three days outside the Chamber will not silence me. I will continue to defend the Constitution and the Kenyan people. https://t.co/PkvYwrBgq5

Environmental lawyer Gichohi Waweru reveals the exhausting, relentless reality of fighting the system to save Kenya's forests in court. The land grabbing is so aggressive that keeping up with the legal battles has become a daily, overwhelming task for conservationists.

China are mining gold in West Pokot and Kakamega, British have vast tracts of land and even a base in Laikipia, most parts of Samburu, Isiolo, Marsabit is owned by NRT.
Parklands is a no go zone for Africans nowadays. Kilifi and Malindi is actively being purchased by foreigners.
The Mrima Hill in Kwale has been sold to foreigners. Nanyuki is an expatriate town.
But the problem is poor Burundians, rwandese,Ugandans, and congolose.
The enemy of another African is an African.
Your political stance is a direct reflection of your character. You can’t back a government that has oppressed people for years and still pretend to be a decent person, that’s pure self-deception.
The President that wanted Kenya to be the dumpsite for white people with one of the most highly communicable and fatal diseases in the world, is concerned about your security??
