The Man

[Cyprian, Is Nyakundi @C_NyaKundiH]

Before the June 2024 protests, almost everyone dismissed Kenyans, including people inside the security system, saying they were too lazy, too divided and too comfortable to ever seriously challenge government.

Then June happened, Parliament was breached, the Finance Bill collapsed and the same political class suddenly discovered that public anger can move faster than intelligence reports.

Now some of the very people who underestimated Kenyans are back with another comforting line for themselves, that you cannot defeat a sitting president.

That confidence sounds very familiar. Kenya has already shown that once enough people reach the same conclusion at the same time, all the assumptions made inside boardrooms can become useless overnight.

The biggest mistake Kenya Kwanza can make between now and 2027 is to underestimate Kenyans twice.

[Cyprian, Is Nyakundi @C_NyaKundiH]

That Ruto is cornered is no longer something to dismiss, because the political mood, the anger on the ground and the fractures around him are becoming harder to ignore.

“Ruto Must Go” can win an election, but it cannot run a country, and the opposition must now start telling Kenyans what happens after the celebrations are over.

Start with the national debt. Which loans will they honour, which ones will they audit, what happens to odious or questionable debt, and how exactly will they stop Kenya from borrowing simply to repay previous borrowing?

Then tell us what happens to this bloated government structure where almost every problem has somehow produced an authority, agency, board, council, commission, fund, secretariat, director general, board chairman, CEO, offices, vehicles and allowances.

Why, for example, does Kenya need a whole Kenya Water Towers Agency with its own board and administration to coordinate conservation of water towers instead of placing that work directly inside the responsible ministry alongside the existing forestry, water and environmental departments?

The government itself has admitted that some State corporations have overlapping or duplicated mandates and has been trying to merge or restructure them, which tells you the problem is not imaginary.

How many water agencies does one country need before water actually reaches people's taps, when we already have the Ministry of Water, Water Works Development Agencies, the National Water Harvesting and Storage Authority, Water Resources Authority and other institutions funded from the same taxpayer?

How many agricultural boards, authorities and corporations do we need before farmers receive affordable fertiliser, functioning markets and reasonable prices for what they produce?

How many youth funds, women funds, enterprise funds and empowerment programmes must exist separately, each carrying administrators and operational costs, instead of creating one properly managed financing institution with measurable results?

Why do functions that could comfortably sit as departments inside ministries repeatedly become standalone State corporations requiring CEOs, boards, procurement departments, HR departments, finance departments, legal departments and expensive headquarters?

The opposition must tell us which State corporations it will abolish, which ones it will merge, which boards disappear on day one and how much money those changes will actually save taxpayers.

Tell us what happens to SHA and whether healthcare will continue being built around deductions, unexplained private technology companies and layers of agencies before money finally reaches the hospital treating the patient.

Tell us what happens to the housing levy, and whether government should really be collecting money from every worker, building houses, identifying beneficiaries, financing mortgages and competing with private developers at the same time.

Tell us what happens to university funding, HELB, school capitation and the endless experiments that leave parents discovering new education policies after schools have already opened.

Tell us what happens to county financing and whether governors will continue travelling to Nairobi every few months begging Treasury to release money that Parliament already allocated to counties.

Tell us what happens to corruption cases, because Kenyans do not need another government that arrives with its own thieves, protects them for five years and suddenly discovers corruption when somebody falls out politically.

Tell us what happens to procurement. Will every tender, beneficial owner, contract variation and final payment become publicly searchable, or will we continue pretending transparency exists when more than half of government contractors can remain hidden behind companies?

Tell us what happens to the police. Will the next president still call commanders when he wants opponents arrested, or will Kenya finally build a police service where an officer fears the law more than he fears State House?

Tell us what happens to the DCI, ODPP, EACC, intelligence services and other institutions that become extremely energetic when powerful people have private problems but suddenly develop weak knees when politically connected goons, killers and thieves are involved.

Tell us what happens to State House spending, advisers, presidential delivery units, special envoys, taskforces and endless committees created whenever somebody in government wants another office.

Tell us what happens to Cabinet size, principal secretaries, CAS style positions if they return under another name, government advisers and political appointees scattered through State corporations.

Tell us whether government vehicles will still consume billions transporting officials to meetings where they discuss why government has no money.

Tell us whether every new president will continue creating offices for election losers and coalition partners instead of forcing political parties to carry the cost of their own political settlements.

Tell us what happens to taxes, because promising to reduce taxation is easy until the same politicians enter Treasury and discover they inherited a government whose recurrent expenditure they are unwilling to cut.

Tell us what happens to pending bills, because thousands of businesses have supplied government, paid VAT, borrowed money to perform contracts and then waited years for the State to pay them.

Tell us what happens to electricity costs, fuel taxes, manufacturing, agriculture and small businesses, because Kenya cannot tax itself into prosperity and then wonder why investors move production elsewhere.

And most importantly, tell us what happens to the structure of political power itself.

If all the opposition is offering is another president controlling Parliament, influencing prosecutors, intimidating independent institutions, appointing friends everywhere and borrowing billions with no consequences, then we are simply preparing the next “Must Go” movement.

Ruto going is now a reality.

But Kenya cannot spend the next year discussing who takes the cake without asking why the cake is this expensive, why so many people are eating from it and why ordinary Kenyans are always the ones paying for it.

No one is immune to police injustices.

Never keep quiet in the face of injustice, for silence only emboldens the tormentors.

ERIC OTIENO KILLED AT MUTHAIGA POLICE STATION 🛑

His name is Eric Otieno, 20 years old.

Eric was arrested on Saturday night, 2nd August 2026 and detained at Muthaiga Police Station on charges of ' PREPARING TO COMMIT A FELONY.'

On Sunday night at around 11pm, his family was called to pick him at the station.

On arrival, they found him already released and wailing in pain.

The family says that Eric kept on saying, " wamenipiga tumbo. Wamenigongagonga kwa cell."

He was rushed to hospital and declared dead on arrival.

@IPOA_KE , the family of Eric demands justice.

This is another case of Albert Ojwang'.

The charge, ' PREPARING TO COMMIT A FELONY ' is always a fabricated charge.

A street boy from Kisumu was once charged with the same and it took Wakili Bush just ten minutes to free him.

The I.O was unable to explain what kind of a felony he was preparing to commit and no weapon was produced in court.

There's a tendency of police officers arresting innocent people when they are unable to get real culprits.

We demand #JusticeForEricOtieno . #EndPoliceBrutalityKe

We have the highest unemployment and apparently the laziest people in the world but but I’ve never witnessed anything like this in my life. Is this poverty or mental illness?

Kenya’s mobile money giants just went to war, and the real winners are Mama Mbogas, boda riders & kiosk owners. 💥

​Airtel Money just dropped the nuclear option with Bizna Wallet:
🟢 Free customer-to-merchant payments (up to KES 250k)
🟢 Built-in protection against unauthorized reversals
🟢 50% cashback on eligible fees

​Safaricom felt the heat and hit back:
🔴 Halved M-Pesa Business Till transfer fees (Max cut from KSh 108 to 54)
🔴 Free payments on Pochi up to KES 200
🔴 Doubled Buy Goods free collection limit to KES 500

​This is classic David vs. Goliath.

Airtel is aggressively hunting the 2M+ micro-merchants Safaricom has dominated for years.

Safaricom is slashing margins to defend its multi-billion shilling revenue engine.

​Price wars force efficiency. They lower friction and push local kiosks fully digital.

But free transfers aren’t free, float, compliance, and network costs add up.
​Can Airtel keep zero fees forever… or will M-Pesa’s network effects still prove unbeatable? It's only time that will tell.
