🚨 PARENTS, YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK THIS BEFORE BUYING THAT “HARMLESS” SNACK!
What looks like a simple treat may contain ingredients or additives many parents never stop to question.

I don’t think people fully understand what’s happening. We’re not being priced out of luxury. We’re being priced out of normal. A house, car, Groceries, Childcare, Insurance,These weren’t extravagant expectations 20 years ago.
@AIRTEL_KE I’ve had frequent connection drops with my 5G Connect router since installation. I’ve contacted customer care several times, all I get is the usual “turn it off and on” with no actual resolution. My expectations were already low, but I honestly didn’t expect them to be this low

Kenya could face internet shutdowns and media restrictions during the 2027 election, according to a new Thomson Reuters Foundation report.
The report warns this could make it harder for voters to access and verify information.
OVERNIGHT: Prominent Kenyan editor abducted by gun-wielding men after series of newspaper stories critical of President Ruto and his government.

Due to the rise of illicit alcohol in Kenya, here’s how to check if the alcohol you’re buying is genuine.
We’ve also listed authorised KBL and UDV distributors and retail channels across the country.

Indeed, KRA have gone mad, and they are not even hiding it. Look at this.
You buy goods in Guangzhou. Hoods. Plates. Small stock. You pay about KSh 700,000. The container lands in Mombasa, and they tax you like that container is worth KSh 3.2 million.
Not because that is what you paid. Because, since 20 August, that is their new floor.
KSh 2.5 million became KSh 3.2 million overnight.
Follow the maths.
KSh 3.2 million × 25% duty is already KSh 800,000.
Then other taxes & levies climbs on that same . IDF. railway levy etc.
Next thing you realise, they want KSh 2.2 million in tax on goods that cost KSh 700,000.
Some people are staring at a KSh 5 million bill once port charges and storage join the raid.
As we speakk the CBM rate is KSh 72,000–80,000 from China to Kenya in some companies
If you oppose they say; you deconsolidate. Tax item by item.
In real life if you choose that route , that cargo can sit for a year at the port as costs pile on you & maybe you even took a loan.
So you either pay the fake value today, or bleed slowly at the port. And this is why you are seeing business persons protest.
The Ruto govt is aggressively harming businesses and its sad.
PREPARE FOR COSTLY INTERNET.
Have you noticed an increase at the rate of data bundles been deplated at the same speed as the one Kasongo is traveling to sugoi with.
Now, the looting regime led by President William Ruto is planning to clamp down on social media...
Not by closing the social media apps , but by making data prices out of the reach of ordinary people.
Have you noted how both Safaricom PLC and Airtel Kenya have simultaneously downgraded their data offer packages.
Airtel watch was a little generous has reduced the ksh.1500 SMARTA package from 3GB daily to a 32GB package which is loaded once in your line.
They have also reduced the hourly packages from 1gb for ksh.15 to a mere 250mbs for ksh.15 which is being swallowed in a jiffy.
Now wait .. You thought you'd escape to WIFI which offers unlimited data for monthly packages?
Ruto is already targeting that through a Draconian Kenya Information and Communication (Amendment) Bill 2025 by Aldai M.P Maryann keitany
Once this bill is signed into law, it's going to take the country years back and roll back the success and milestones in affordable data , killing tens of thousands of jobs in the tech sector.
Keitany's bill proposes far reaching measures that are going to make WIFI data expensive..
✅ Introduction of internet metre number to bill every subscriber.
✅ There will be no unlimited data. You'll pay as per your consumption. They say you pay power or water.
✅ Monitoring of internet usage by ISPs
The above Draconian measures points to a plan to curtail access to information to the public through the internet.
Ruto in his haste to clamp down on the internet will affect:
✅ Businesses that used internet by increasing the cost of doing business.
✅ Schools that offer online studies will increase the cost of courses.
✅ Most businesses will fire staff to cut down on cost so as to survive.
✅ Communication will be affected because the cost of data will be out of reach affecting decisions and the economy.
✅ Access to information will be affected to a large portion of population who will not be able to to buy data.
All this is being done to clamp down on access to information as we go to an election year.
Ruto is fearing another Genz outrage which is fueled by information through social media. He thinks that by making data costly, majority of Kenyans including young people won't be a able to access information.
The Looting regime is taking us back to stone age , where we will be communicating through smoke and beating of drums.
I never imagined I'd be the one asking for help.
I've spent my life on the other side checking pulses, holding hands, telling patients "you'll be okay." Today, I'm the one who needs to hear that.
This is Day One of appealing to my 30 Followers,online community and well-wishers to help me raise the Sh6 million needed for my kidney transplant.

I want to ask you a simple question, and I want you to answer it honestly in your own home, in your own heart.
Are you better off today than you were when William Ruto took office?
Look at your table.
Look at your payslip, if you still have one.
Look at your children's school fees.
Look at the price of unga, of fuel, of everything that keeps a family alive.
Are you better off? #Ukombozi
