Kenyan women looking to lose weight are now buying a prescription-only drug used mostly to treat lupus, severe asthma, cancer and inflammatory bowel disease, among other diseases.

On social media, these women share the “success” of taking prednisone, ignoring that it has severe side effects, especially if not prescribed by a doctor.

Nine in 10 Kenyan creatives have used their work to address political and social issues, despite facing threats to their livelihoods, safety and freedom of expression, a new survey by Utetezi Arts & Insights has found.

The report, Creatives and Public Demonstrations: Participation, Risks, and Impact, released in June 2026, examined the experiences of 102 creatives following the June 2024 and June 2025 demonstrations.

🚨 BREAKING:

President William Ruto today said KSh 7 billion has been allocated for the Nithi Bridge project.

Out of curiosity, I went through the Budget Estimates to verify the claim.

What I found surprised me.

The approved allocation I found is KSh 350 million, and the projected allocation for FY 2027/28 is KSh 200 million. I've attached the relevant budget pages in the replies.

Unless I'm missing another funding source, those figures are nowhere near KSh 7 billion.

So I can only think of two possibilities:

• There is a loan or financing arrangement that isn't reflected in the Budget Estimates. • Or the KSh 7 billion figure announced today is inaccurate or refers to something else.

If only KSh 350 million has been allocated this financial year, and KSh 200 million is projected for the next, when exactly does the project receive KSh 7 billion?

I'm genuinely open to correction. If anyone has official Treasury documents, loan agreements, or any government document showing where the KSh 7 billion comes from, please share them.

Facts matter more than politics.

Follow me here if you appreciate document-based fact-checking. We regularly go through government budgets, reports and official records to verify public claims.

This is not merely an assault on an individual, no, it is a chilling indictment of a system that allows enforced disappearances, torture, and extrajudicial abuse to flourish with impunity. After days of denials and unanswered questions about his whereabouts, Davis has emerged bearing the physical evidence of the violence inflicted upon him.

Those responsible for his abduction, torture, and illegal detention must be identified and held accountable. The Kenyan public deserves answers: Who took Davis? Where was he held? Who ordered his torture? Why was he abandoned and left for dead?

We will not accept silence, cover-ups, or excuses. An injury to one is an injury to all. The struggle for justice continues until every perpetrator is brought to account and until enforced disappearances and torture become a thing of the past.

You only have the ‘power’ to bully institutions inside Uganda. Step outside Uganda’s borders and your threats are as valuable as a veto in a room where you don’t have a seat.

It takes a remarkably primitive political imagination to inherit influence and conclude that its highest purpose is shutting down media houses. While serious nations are competing to build world class universities, industries, research centres, and militaries, you are proudly advertising censorship as though it were a national achievement.

Instead of helping Mzee leave behind a prosperous, technologically advanced Uganda, you boast about destroying businesses, silencing journalists, and reinforcing the very stereotypes that have held African politics back for decades. You possess the mentality of an oversized political infant who mistakes coercion for competence and inherited authority for personal greatness.

Uganda has thepotential to be one of Africa’s leading economies. The tragedy is that its potential is too often constrained by leaders who still think like feudal chiefs rather than twenty first century nation builders. History has never been kind to rulers who confuse fear with respect, or obedience with legitimacy.

President William Ruto's international travel continues to spark public debate, with questions emerging over the frequency, cost and value of presidential trips.

But exactly how many foreign trips has the President made in the first half of 2026?

Ruto's first foreign trip of the year came on February 13, when he travelled to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, for the 39th Ordinary Session of the African Union Assembly. He remained in the Ethiopian capital through February 15 as African leaders met to discuss regional and continental matters.
