We will not allow you to glorify thugs, crooks and scoundrels.
Matiang’i —Egregious abuse of power and public office; disobedience of numerous court orders; plunder of public resources; torture of civilians; unlawful detention; mass murder and disappearance of civilians, etc.
Babu Patel—Shooting and maiming of civilians; barbaric brutality and murder; mismanagement of public resources (CDF); tialala tibim rubbish, etc.
Nyoro—conflicts of interest; involvement in shady deals with Ruto resulting in billions of public funds unaccounted for; hypocrisy; opportunism, etc.
Njoroge—not a leader by any definition in any language. Karanja Kibicho’s handbag carrier; perennial supporter of repression and ethnic jingoism, etc.
Faith—involvement in the discredited “victims compensation”; opportunism;
Munya—involvement in scandals as CS for agriculture; opportunism, etc.
Methu & Sifuna—zero legislative record at the Senate; zero ideology; zero ideas; zero manifesto; known stooges for Rigathi and Uhuru Kenyatta;
Kang’ata—misappropriation of victims funds in the Air Ethiopia tragedy.
Etc.
The same @rigathi who has declared that he would demolish @WilliamsRuto’s hotel if he is elected president is the same conman who promised to establish the State Capture Commission in 2022 and repossess trillions of public resources looted by Uhuru Kenyatta, then spent his entire tenure as deputy president yelling about Mrima shareholders because Rigathi Gachagua is a quintessential conman, just like Ruto and others.
The bandits fake it daily and we deconstruct them without missing a beat.
Telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Hello, Twitter family. Kindly help me locate the owner of this vehicle, registration number KDT 980H.
The owner came to my pub and parked the vehicle here, but it has now been here for three days. We have been unable to reach or locate the owner.
Please retweet and share widely.
I dont know what Ruto thinks hes doing,Abducting Senior Editors surely? He thinks kenyans are angry because they read the Standard paper? Even if he managed to take over there,and now Standard is praising him nothing will change. He had his chance,there is no going back
When paused the protest,and he went on live Television to say he has heard us,only for him to rehire the same corrupt Ministers he fired the previous day,and then went ahead to kill hundreds of Young frustrated kenyans that were resisting his plan to tax Mpesa deposits,Teargassed people in their homes to sell fear,hired goons to rape women found protesting,among other atrocities,that Was the Rubicon
We crossed that River,and we cannot go back. There is no forgiveness for william Ruto. Even if he abducts the whole country,He cannot save himself. Those who claim he is smart,should tell us how he cannot see this. He ignored us went aheead and continued with his looting spree,From Ecitizen,to Police uniforms,to 108Billion Healthcare software,to Railway lands in Naivasha,to gold mines in Migori,to 45Billion in nTSA for speed cameras. I cannot even finish this list to day
If I was William Ruto I would start packing my bags,Ahamie ata huko Serbia kwa jangiri wenzake.
2027 is going to be an extremely hot year for him. This is not a smart man,This is just a man with resources to play rough
Kasia sana!
Bwana IG,
I have seen that you have purported to order a thorough investigation into the abduction of Alex Kiprotich, the Associate Editor of the Standard Media Group.
That investigation, like all the others you have ordered, will go nowhere because it was done by police officers outside your command.
You are clueless about the operations of the National Police Service. I do have more information as to the happenings in the Service than you do. The National Police Service was taken over a long time ago by Mr. Kipchumba Murkomen and Mr. Raymond Omollo, with the concurrence of Mr. William Ruto; orders are directly issued to your DIG, Eliud Langat, and DCI Mohamed Amin.
You are just a flower girl leading a shell, and you will be sacrificed at the right time and blamed for the excesses in the Service.
Let me bring you up to speed.
Mr. Alex Kiprotich was preparing for an assignment in the Mau Forest, where thousands of Mau evictees from the Kipsigis community have been conned out of millions of shillings in compensation money by officials of the National Government Administration under the direction of Mr. Murkomen and Mr. Raymond Omollo. This money has been paid by the duo to their brokers and proxies.
Alex was to publish an exposé giving a blow-by-blow account of how the funds have been stolen, leaving the evictees helpless and in anguish.
A late-night meeting on Monday evening between Mr. William Ruto and Mr. Kipchumba Murkomen sealed the fate of Mr. Alex Kiprotich, where it was decided that he had to be stopped.
The DCI, Mr. Mohamed Amin, was instructed to put Alex under 24-hour surveillance. The DCI assembled a team headed by one Mr. Zachary Kariuki, who, though retired, has been recalled by Amin to coordinate this squad trained in abductions, killings, and cover-ups.
This is the team that abducted Alex Kiprotich and was instructed to abandon the earlier plan to eliminate him after the abduction was captured live and provoked public outrage.
This team of 60 rogue police killers is responsible for the abduction of businessman Jimmy in Mlolongo, as ordered by DIG Langat, Zizo Abdulaziz, Lawyer Molu, and killed Rachel Wandeto after you and Kipchumba Murkomen visited her in hospital.
That is why, even after Mr. William Ruto told Kenyans that the killers of Rachel Wandeto would be arrested, it has not happened and will not happen.
Bwana Kanja, before you order investigations into the abduction of Alex, kindly first release the findings of the previous investigations you ordered into the death of Rachel Wandeto, the attack on Witima ACK Church, the attack on Mwiki PCEA Church, the attack on Kariobangi PCEA Church, and the killings and mayhem in Ol Kalou, to name but a few.
You have no report to release because no investigations were carried out, and none will be carried out. You cannot investigate your seniors, and police cannot investigate themselves.
IPOA is dead, and the rule of law has been suspended.
I can see you crying at the International Criminal Court in The Hague next year.

PRESS STATEMENT
Nairobi, Kenya
September 1, 2026
STANDARD GROUP CONDEMNS ABDUCTION OF ITS SENIOR EDITOR, DEMANDS HIS IMMEDIATE AND SAFE RELEASE
The Standard Group PLC confirms that shortly before 9:20pm this evening, our Associate Editor, Alex Kiprotich, was abducted along the Gilgil–Nakuru road while travelling to Nakuru. We do not know where he is as we issue this statement.
This is the second time in as many months that Mr Kiprotich has been targeted. On 27 June 2026, armed men in a Toyota Probox a vehicle model repeatedly linked to enforced disappearances of government critics in Kenya, tried to seize him from his car as he drove to work in Nakuru. He got away by locking his doors and driving off. That attempt came days after President William Ruto publicly criticised this Group over its coverage, and our own investigations traced the vehicle to the National Police Service's Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau. No one has ever been held to account for it.
Tonight, that threat has been carried out.
We do not believe this is a coincidence. Mr Kiprotich has been at the forefront of our editorial output, including reporting that has scrutinised the conduct of the State, and tonight's abduction bears all the hallmarks of a targeted attack on a journalist for doing his job.
We believe it may be linked to elements within the State seeking to intimidate this Group into silence. If that is confirmed, this is not simply a crime against one man. It is an assault on the Constitution of Kenya, on the freedoms of expression and of the media guaranteed under Articles 33 and 34, and on the right of every Kenyan to independent information.
We say this plainly and without equivocation: the Standard Group holds the State responsible for Alex Kiprotich's safety and his life, and for anything that happens to him while he remains missing. Protecting the life and liberty of every citizen is the State's first duty, not an afterthought, and Mr Kiprotich's safety now rests entirely in its hands.
We are demanding:
1. The immediate, safe and unconditional release of Alex Kiprotich.
2. A prompt, transparent and independent investigation into his abduction, and into why no one has ever answered for the attempt of June 27, 2026.
3. Real, visible guarantees that journalists in Kenya will be protected, in keeping with commitments the President has already made publicly and has so far failed to honour.
We are calling on the Independent Policing Oversight Authority, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, the Law Society of Kenya, the Media Council of Kenya, the Committee to Protect Journalists, and everyone who values a free press in this country, to demand answers alongside us until Mr Kiprotich is found safe.
We will keep the public informed as we learn more, and we will not let this matter quietly fade from view.

GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER,

Preaching water in Uganda but drenched in chang’aa in Kenya. Stop the hypocrisy, Bishop. Where are the convictions, jail sentences and seizure of trillions of shillings of public assets stolen by MPs, Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries, governors, the president and other public officials in Kenya? Table concrete evidence. Stop preaching.
A whole former Chief Justice and former Vice President of Kenya are celebrating the Constitution which has never been implemented and asserting, disgracefully, that its enactment in 2010 “ended imperial presidency.”
If that’s true, I would like them—and everyone else cheering the empty ornament—why we haven’t had justice for the thousands of Kenyans who have been abducted, illegally detained, tortured, maimed, disappeared or murdered since 2010 if the imperial presidency is truly dead.
Why is Uhuru Kenyatta, Fred Matiang’i, Karanja Kibicho, William Ruto, Kipchumba Murkomen and many others who have abused power, presided over atrocities, plundered public resources and subverted the constitution not behind bars if the imperial presidency is dead?
Why haven’t we had anyone prosecuted, convicted and jailed for kidnapping, torturing and murdering Crispin Odhiambo Mbai, Chris Musando, Oscar Kingara, George Paul Oulu, Kianjokoma Brothers, Rex Masai, Kennedy Onyango, Eric Kayoni, Denzel Omondi, and many others?
Why haven’t we had those who plundered public resources through the Goldenberg, Anglo Leasing, Maize, Eurobond and other scandals in prison and the TRILLIONS of SHILLINGS looted returned?
Why is corruption in the police service, judiciary and all sectors of public sphere reached a pandemic stage of the constitution is working and imperial presidency is dead?
Why haven’t we had full disclosure on Kenya’s odious debt which the people continue to be forced to pay without having benefited from it?
Are Kenyans genuinely more empowered, enjoy more rights, have access to more services and are treated more respectfully since 2010?
Have Kenyan presidents behaved more accountably, adhered to the dictates of the constitution and the rule of law since 2010?
The answer quite clearly is no. So, what are you celebrating?
What exactly has changed since 2010?
To Zambians: This is your opportunity to make @HHichilema accountable on the streets of Lusaka, Kitwe, Ndola, Kabwe, Livingstone, Solwezi and throughout the country. Make it painful for him. Make Zambia ungovernable through fiat and the gun.
I have formally written to @KNECKenya seeking information on the procurement and printing of the 2026 KCSE, KJSEA and KPSEA examination materials.
This is not a request for examination papers or security-sensitive information. It is a demand for transparency on the use of public funds, including the procurement method, bidders, evaluation, successful contractor, contract value, payments, ownership, capacity, subcontracting and tax compliance.
National security cannot become a blanket excuse for withholding information that the law requires public bodies to disclose.
Kenyans have a right to know how public resources are used. Accountability protects, rather than undermines, the integrity of our national examinations. #ReKe
