Finance Bill 2026.

Out of 347 MPs, only 162 showed up to vote on one of the most consequential pieces of legislation affecting millions of Kenyans.

122 voted YES
40 voted NO
185 MPs were absent

If only 162 MPs can determine the future of the country's finances, then Kenyans have every right to ask:

Why are taxpayers funding 347 MPs when nearly half the House is missing during critical national decisions? 🇰🇪

William Ruto spent a whooping 104 Billion Kenyan Shillings to replace a working NHIF with SHA just to open a new door for him and his friends to loot.

In Context 104 Billion would have built 60–70 Level 4 hospitals from Scratch.

A whole 60 hospitals!!!!!!!

Kenya’s government creates a problem that didn’t exist, then offers a solution that doesn’t solve it.

When Uhuru left power, NSSF was at flat rate of KSh 200. For Ruto, it's 6% on the employer side and 6% on the employee side.

When Uhuru was leaving power, the dollar was KSh 118. Ruto took it to 160 and brought it down to 129.

When Uhuru was leaving power, petrol was going for KSh 158 with subsidy. Ruto took it to 217, brought it down to 178, and now it’s at 198 with subsidy.

When Uhuru was leaving power, the maximum NHIF contribution was KSh 1,700. For Ruto, it's 2.75% of your salary.

During Uhuru’s time, KSh 100 would give you about 6 KPLC units of tokens, but under Ruto you now get about 3 units for the same amount.

During Uhuru’s time, VAT across key sectors was 8%, but under Ruto it has gone up to 16%.

For Uhuru, affordable housing meant no deductions on your payslip, but under Ruto, you now have an additional mandatory deduction.

Despite all this, borrowing hasn’t stopped. In fact, it has picked up.

So, how has Ruto reduced the cost of living ?🤔

I was at the Dusit Hotel on the day of the attack, reporting for the BBC.

I spotted Christian Craighead. Probably because he was white.

No doubt he was involved in the rescue operation.
But so were dozens of Kenyan security forces.

It was never a one-man show. I think he's milked this enough.
