KRA is introducing a new system that requires importers to declare details of goods before they arrive in Kenya.

The new Advance Cargo Declaration system is set to begin on August 3, 2026, and will apply to all containerised cargo arriving at Kenyan ports

That’s so nice, brother. Thanks for the info

Big brother, is this a World bank funded infrastructural project?

Ethiopia's GDP is $117 billion compared to Kenya at $132 billion, slightly below Kenya. . It's 2026/27 Expenditure Budget is $14 billion whilst Kenya's is $37 Billion, more than 2X that of Ethiopia for a population that is only 50% that of Ethiopia!
We live large in this nation!
Ethiopia allocated 22% to regions. Kenya allocated sh 428 billion, less than 10% of its sh 4.8 trillion budget to regions/counties.
We are still centralised!

We have done a summary of the proposals that were rejected by MPs, why they were rejected, and the proposals that were passed.

Here is the deeper thread.

Save and share.

[NTV Kenya @ntvkenya]

How Kenya can lower the price of fuel, according to Kiharu MP, Ndidi Nyoro.

Nyoro proposes:
1. Scrapping VAT on petroleum products
2. Cutting oil players' margins by Sh4.
3. Injecting Sh5bn from the Fuel Stabilisation Fund,
4. Reverting the Road Maintenance Levy to Sh18 per litre.

Nyoro says proposals, executed for 4-6 months, will cushion Kenyans from high cost of fuel.

@doktarisam @AbdiZeila This is an example of impassable roads he’s been driving on with deadly potholes. But he is advising us to drive with care, and have a strict adherence to traffic safety laws.

Why did Allah choose 4 months and 10 days for a widow after her husband dies?

Not 3 months. Not 6 months.
Not “whenever she feels ready.”

Her heart is grieving…So Why exactly 4 months and 10 days?

In 2002, I bought my Safaricom line.

Ksh 2499.

I still use it.

It came in a metallic tin, with a booklet (a user manual), and a template for the SIM card.

It was preset on the Taifa Tariff.

Ksh 36 per minute billing during peak, and Ksh 27 per minute billing during off-peak.

Per-minute billing means that even if you talk for 32 seconds, you will be charged the per-minute rate.

At that time, KENCELL (later CELTEL, then ZAIN and now AIRTEL) was everyone's favourite carrier.

Safaricom was struggling to attract subscribers due to KENCELL's awkward commercials that portrayed Safaricom's network as sluggish and chaotic.

But, 2 months later, Safaricom reduced the price of its SIM cards to Ksh 99.

I almost went mad after spending KSH 2499 just two months earlier.

There were massive lines in Safaricom shops in Nairobi and Nakuru.

Nakuru, Kenyatta Avenue, next to Merica Hotel, was impassable for 1 week. There was a Safaricom shop there, and later a Samchi Telecom shop.

A lot of people had bought phones and kept them at home, especially Motorola T190 and Siemens C35, because they couldn't afford SIM cards or the cost of making calls.

A Motorola T190 was selling at KSH 17,999.

A Siemens C35 was selling at 11,499.

Safaricom immediately began selling locked mobile phones that could be used only with Safaricom SIM cards.

Later that year, Kibaki was overwhelmingly elected president, and his regime liberalised the telecommunications industry, and we began advancing in telecommunications technology.

We have come from far!

Dear @KeNHAKenya that road was designed to cause death and mayhem. If your engineers are corrupted by manipulators, then the authority has to intervene immediately

[Kulan Post @kulanpost]

"We will close the road if our actions won't be addressed in two weeks..."

Section of religious leaders call for urgent action on Garissa’s Kismayu Road, saying construction design risking motorists and residents.

US President Donald Trump has criticised the response to his call to help protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz during the US-Israel war on Iran.

Countries including Germany and the UK have rejected military involvement, warning it could escalate the war.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Netanyahu led Trump into this horrific & unpopular war. Now he doesn’t know how to get out.

Cost so far:

• 1,200+ Iranian civilians killed
• 13 U.S. troops killed
• 3.2M Iranians displaced
• 773 killed in Lebanon
• 10,000+ Iranians injured
• $16.5B spent in 12 days

Daktari, there is mentality of people choosing begging over jobs in Africa. A senior businessman saw one of his inner fam member begging on the street. He told him stop this habit and he offered a salary of 90k. Shockingly, the guy said that’s what he makes a week from the street
