STATEMENT ON THE LANDSLIDE INCIDENTS IN ENDO, SAMBIRIR AND EMBOBUT IN ELGEYO-MARAKWET COUNTY
Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Endo, Sambirir, and Embobut Wards in Marakwet East Constituency following the devastating landslide that has led to the loss of lives and property, as well as the destruction of infrastructure, including the road network.
The Government has dispatched police and military helicopters carrying medical personnel and Red Cross staff to assist in the ongoing search and rescue operations.
We are working with the County Government and non-state actors to respond to this unfortunate incident and provide the necessary support to the affected families.
Efforts are underway to restore the destroyed road network to facilitate movement and access for emergency and relief operations.
A safety conscious road user captured an incident of dangerous driving and overloading involving a PSV.
I directed NTSA to apprehend the crew and take necessary action.
I can now report that the driver and the conductor are currently at Capitol Hill Police station.
I thank the public for supporting the Government and being part of the #UsalamaBarabarani conversation.
It takes care and responsibility on the part of all road users to address challenges presented on our roads.
I call upon all of us to continue speaking out against such vices. Do not allow a reckless driver to take away the lives of innocent road users.
Report incidences on our roads and action will be taken.
With a united voice, we can end the needless loss of lives on our roads.
Hi Chairman. Kindly hide my id and highlight this ifikie EACC, Kenyans have lost millions of shillings to an online car rental app called Hertz which turns out to be a scam of the highest magnitude. Bana those guys are heartless, they encourage you to invest in their vehicles with price's ranging from 7k to 100k Myself lost 40k to those conmen who uses bank accounts they had with Loop_Ke formally NCBA, the worst part is, if you call Loop guys first of all they talk to you unprofessionally refer you to the police to obtain an OB so that they get reversal consent from the recipients, once you obtain an OB and call the guy's at Loop they take you round and round frustrating people by claiming the conmen have withdrawn all the money as if they are working in cohort with scammers. Kindly expose them. Thank you.
🗣️Tim Howard loves how Mikel Arteta has managed Kai Havertz: “Look, I don’t think he’s a world-beater by any stretch of the imagination. I think if the rhythm is right, he fits into that midfield. I think the way Mikel Arteta has man-managed him has been brilliant. Brought him out of the side a little bit, took him out of the spotlight, dipped him back in. Brought him off today to a standing ovation so he’s being clever with him.
“If he can play the #Arsenal way, good football, which we know he can do, he likes to run, likes to stay away from the defenders, doesn’t want the contact, he can play good football, if he can do that in this team and get his goals, share the goalscoring like everyone else does, I think he’s really onto something and he could be a good player for this team.
“So initially, didn’t love the signing, very similar to Jesus, but I have to have faith in Arsenal. And in terms of Mikel Arteta, he very rarely gets signings wrong so you think, okay I don’t see it. But I also didn’t really see Jesus either. And it seemed to work initially.”

Hey Cyprian Hide my Identity. I worked with my other ten people on Facility census Exercise which was Country wide exercise back in August for 16 Days. We paid less money contrary to the one signed on service contract. We're still waiting to be paid 27,900/= By Afya House. They keep on telling us false promises, oh the Ps, knows your marter, but it seems, MoH officials (Accounts) Have swindled the money. One paying the last installment was called Saaid Dawe. Kindly help us.
Hello Cyprian. Kindly highlight this issue for me. I work with Hipora group of companies situated at Karen Nairobi. It's been 4 months now that they haven't paid NHIF but the deductions have been made from our salaries. Even the NSSF deductions haven't been remitted. Hide id. Thank you.
🗣️Alan Shearer on #Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus: “He’s not a goalscorer, he never has been. When you look at his numbers, he brings more to Arsenal’s game than goals, he’s got one in nine this season.
“That will improve and that has to improve.I’m not going to say they can’t win the league without having a 20-goal striker because City did it with Gundogan when he got 14 or 15 I think."

We started the hashtag #KenyansToLorettaLynch back in 2016 with amongst others @C_NyaKundiH & @Disembe hoping to get justice after Uhuru stole the $2B Eurobond together with his psychotic and cannibalistic brother Muhoho Kenyatta through QNB.
But later on in my football pursuits, I came to discover that Loretta Lynch is a thug of epic proportions. She engineered the arrest of Michel Platini to pave the way for Gianni Infantino’s deplorable FIFA presidency.
Please don’t believe the lie that muzungu’s are clean. @USAmbKenya has been William Ruto’s anchor in his bad governance catalogue.
Don’t place your hopes that this muzungu probe will yield anything.
Chelsea and Man City look set to face RELEGATION from the Premier League after Everton's 10-point deduction if they are found guilty of breaking FFP rules 🚨

BAR OWNERS PROTESTS PROPOSED COUNTY ALCOHOLIC BILLS

PRESS STATEMENT
Proposed county alcohol control laws are designed to kill our sector, bar owners protest
Nairobi, November 16, 2023: The Bar Hotels & Liquor Traders Association Of Kenya (BAHLITA) has raised the alarm over several Amendment Bills being introduced in counties that they say will kill the alcoholic beverages sector and harm the hospitality sector as a whole.
At a meeting in Nairobi, the lobby group noted the Alcoholic Drinks Control Bills introduced in the county assemblies of Nyeri and Meru so far would negatively affect the sector.
The Bill in Nyeri is titled The Nyeri County Alcoholic Drinks Control Bill, 2023 and is now undergoing public participation. A similar Bill is set to be introduced in the Meru County Assembly.
Both Bills are based on a model Bill developed with the backing of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, who has been leading the fight against alcoholism in Kenya, with a focus on the Mt Kenya region.
Bar operators however argued that the proposed law is overzealous and overreaching and will kill rather than control a sector that employs thousands of people in the country.
They pointed out the proposed ban on transportation of alcohol using boda-bodas, transportation at night and the further restriction on bar opening times as amounting to an onslaught on the sector.
The bar owners have also vowed to go to court to protest against the Nairobi County Government's move to double the license fees to sell alcohol in the capital city introduced via the 2023 Finance Act assented to by Governor Johnson Sakaja.
Bahlita argues that the majority of the contentious provisions in the county Bills run counter to the existing Alcoholic Drinks Control Act at the national level popularly known as the Mututho Law.
“We have been angered by Sakaja here in Nairobi because of the increase in license fee despite the public participation. The result will be an increase in the consumption of illicit alcohol because of the restrictions on formal alcohol, and this leads to loss of jobs,” said Bahlita secretary Boniface Gachoka.
Bahlita said it was apprehensive that public participation in the counties could be used to meet the requirement on paper without any real impact on the proposed law.
The Bills seek to restrict the sale of alcohol to take home, introduce alcohol-free zones, and restrict the sale of alcohol by wines and spirits shops outside designated areas and in hotels. They also seek to bar the sale of alcohol to “intoxicated persons” but the operators and other players argue that the provision is vague as judging whether a person is intoxicated is not accurate.
The Bills also seek to ban advertising of alcohol by painting or decorating buildings on the outside as well as on digital or mobile platforms, both of which are common in the alcoholic beverages sector.
It would also restrict alcohol sales by supermarkets to between 5 pm and 9 pm and in hotels and lodgings and members’ clubs to between 1 pm and 11 pm.
Distributors would also be restricted to making their deliveries to bars between 9 am and 6 pm and will be required to establish depots in every sub-county they are licensed to distribute.
