I still can't believe we actually let Man United fans bully Arsenal fans and talk crazy on our timeline after the UCL Final, completely forgetting that this video exists on the internet... 😭
A high school student. Thrown from Nicco Sacco matatu KDV 713J while 33 passengers watched silently. Nobody helped. Nobody spoke. He had exams to sit and a future to live. Now he is gone.
“We propose restoring the dignity of workers by reducing the housing levy. We also call for cuts to wasteful and non-essential government expenditure. The state must tighten its belt before asking ordinary Kenyans to make further sacrifices. Additionally, Kenya should adopt a sustainable long-term strategy to gradually reduce the fiscal deficit while safeguarding economic growth and livelihoods” - Rigathi Gachagua’s recommendations on the budget

Arsenal will win the Premier League next season with 5 games to spare you can take this to the bank. The biggest waste of time next season will be going to watch hate watch Arsenal. It is amazing that long after the champions league final sports people are still on Arsenal not even the World Cup that is soon.

KEPSA and KUSCCO have now joined the growing list of organizations rejecting a dangerous proposal in the Finance Bill 2026.
The proposal would allow KRA to freeze any Kenyan's bank and SACCO accounts and take money even when the tax being demanded is still under dispute.
Yet Treasury CS John Mbadi and other UDA leaders keep assuring Kenyans that these powers are only meant for a few wealthy tax evaders in Nairobi.
The problem?
That is not what the Bill says.
Show us where the Finance Bill mentions "rich people."
Show us where it mentions "Nairobi."
Show us where it limits these powers to a specific class of taxpayers.
You won't find it.
Because laws are enforced based on what is written, not what politicians promise at press conferences.
Today, it may be a large company or some wealthy fellow in Mombasa.
Tomorrow it could be your SACCO.
Your business account.
Your salary account.
Your school fees savings.
Your rent money.
And by the time you challenge KRA through the appeals process, your account could already be frozen and your money already gone.
Even KEPSA and KUSCCO are warning that money sitting in accounts is not idle cash. It is money committed to salaries, loans, suppliers, and members' savings.
The most dangerous laws are not the ones politicians admit will affect everyone.
They are the ones they insist will never affect you.
