🚨 BREAKING: The Finance Committee led by Kimani Kuria & other UDA MPs has officially rejected a crucial proposal by the Controller of Budget (CoB) to vet, track, and approve withdrawals from the new Sovereign Wealth Fund.
Let this sink in. The CoB’s entire constitutional job is to make sure your tax money isn't misused before it leaves the account. Yet, MPs just voted to block her from having written authorization over these billions.
Look at exactly what they said NO to:
❌ No Written Sign-offs: They rejected letting the CoB approve withdrawals.
❌ Bypassing the Main Account: They refused to route the revenue through the Consolidated Fund first.
❌ Avoiding Full PFM Act Oversight: They blocked the full application of standard public finance accountability laws.
By bypassing Article 228 of the Constitution, this decision turns a national wealth fund into an unaccountable black box.
If the intentions for these billions are pure and there’s nothing to hide, why lock out the COB?
This is a terrifying precedent. What is the real motive behind locking out the nation's top financial watchdog?
Note: This has not been passed by the full Parliament yet. This is the time to speak up strongly; we should push for the CoB to have a meaningful say so that this national fund doesn’t become an accountability black box.

This is not merely an assault on an individual, no, it is a chilling indictment of a system that allows enforced disappearances, torture, and extrajudicial abuse to flourish with impunity. After days of denials and unanswered questions about his whereabouts, Davis has emerged bearing the physical evidence of the violence inflicted upon him.
Those responsible for his abduction, torture, and illegal detention must be identified and held accountable. The Kenyan public deserves answers: Who took Davis? Where was he held? Who ordered his torture? Why was he abandoned and left for dead?
We will not accept silence, cover-ups, or excuses. An injury to one is an injury to all. The struggle for justice continues until every perpetrator is brought to account and until enforced disappearances and torture become a thing of the past.
Every saturday Lichuma cooks & serves porridge to children in Mathare. Yesterday the children waitet but he never came. His whereabouts remain unknown following his disappearance. The children are asking where he is.We demand the @DCI_Kenya disclose his whereabouts
#FreeLichuma
Davies Lichuma has stood on the frontlines defending the rights of doctors, interns and ordinary Kenyans. His courage in fighting for justice deserves recognition not enforced disappearance. We demand that the @DCI_Kenya disclose his whereabouts and ensure his safety.

His name is Erickson Kyalo Mutisya.
He was only 25 years old.
He was silenced by William Ruto's killer regime.
His crime was only asking for a better country.
Erickson was not a goon. Erickson was not a thief. Erickson was not a threat to anyone's life.
Erickson, just like other Kenyans, was only asking to be heard.
He was killed for exercising his constitutional rights.
May Erickson Kyalo Mutisya Rest In Eternal Peace.
The North Remembers.
Long live the spirit of Erickson long live.
