The World Bank has given Kenya more than 10 conditions before it can access the next round of loans.
Here are 10 of the main conditions explained in simple terms.

Prevention of Terrorism Act POTA is being used against innocent persons. Moses Munuve @paramos_manuver was arrested by @DCI_Kenya & ATPU for posting flight ✈️ path data from @flightradar24 pertaining to President Ruto’s trips in Europe. He’ll be arraigned in Kahawa Law Courts 6/7
The death of Cecil should signal only one thing: these politicians do not give three, two or even one shit(s) about us, but especially young people. "Youth mobiliser" to them is nothing but a disposable body meant to be used to the max then dumped ASAPtually. This is the GRIM
Ngong Road–Naivasha Road Flyover is a very good trajectorate project for KE.
However, we have 8+ of them along ThikaRoad. The elephant in the room is the cost; Cost per Meter: KSh 4.8M & Cost per KM (at 0.8km length): KSh 4.8T (KSh 4.75 Billion)
Regardless of your political affiliation, this is completely wrong in every way. Weaponizing poverty is unacceptable! If I saw my mother or my sister here, I would be so disappointed in myself.
I weep for my country.
Mazee we can't help this country, we're stupid just like these greedy politicians.
After hapa utalia kweli mambo na accountability tena?

To show you how barbaric the Ruto regime is: we are informed that the DCI arrived at Halima Ngache's place, took her phone, and abducted her, leaving her young son at the door completely confused.
They even seized the laptop, phone, and tablet of a friend of hers, leaving that friend with absolutely no way to call for help.
They reportedly carried out this raid using a white Subaru. The friend immediately began a desperate search, going first to Central Police, she wasn't there.
They went to Urban Police-nothing. They met the CCIO, who told them to check Nyali Police Station-they found nothing.
They moved on to Bamburi, Mjambere, and returned to Central-still nothing. Finally, they checked Mbaraki, and still found absolutely nothing.
As we speak, even her family has no idea where she is being held. I have spent the whole of today making frantic calls in Kenya, but we have nothing. Halima Ngache has been abducted. The DCI hasn’t even bothered to explain where she is. The issued a vague statement.
We must speak up for Halima. Whether or not someone is linked to a government-critical account should never be a basis for an enforced disappearance or arbitrary detention. We must Speak up!
🚨 BREAKING: The Finance Committee led by Kimani Kuria & other UDA MPs has officially rejected a crucial proposal by the Controller of Budget (CoB) to vet, track, and approve withdrawals from the new Sovereign Wealth Fund.
Let this sink in. The CoB’s entire constitutional job is to make sure your tax money isn't misused before it leaves the account. Yet, MPs just voted to block her from having written authorization over these billions.
Look at exactly what they said NO to:
❌ No Written Sign-offs: They rejected letting the CoB approve withdrawals.
❌ Bypassing the Main Account: They refused to route the revenue through the Consolidated Fund first.
❌ Avoiding Full PFM Act Oversight: They blocked the full application of standard public finance accountability laws.
By bypassing Article 228 of the Constitution, this decision turns a national wealth fund into an unaccountable black box.
If the intentions for these billions are pure and there’s nothing to hide, why lock out the COB?
This is a terrifying precedent. What is the real motive behind locking out the nation's top financial watchdog?
Note: This has not been passed by the full Parliament yet. This is the time to speak up strongly; we should push for the CoB to have a meaningful say so that this national fund doesn’t become an accountability black box.
Why do we expect builders from leaders who’ve built nothing? This video dissects the painful cycle of electing populists over producers. A must-watch reality check. #Leadership#Africa#Politics
In the last two years alone, @SakajaJohnson and @NairobiCityGov has wasted KSH 2.1 billion on 100% wasteful travel.
Since 2014 - the figure is KSH 7.7 billion.
As the first attachment tells you on the 4th column, this is all about "per diems".
Can you imagine 11 people pulling out their passports, booking flights and meals, to fly to Dubai to attend a fashion show, on taxpayers' dime, while the city is choking under garbage?
Defies credulity.
If you ever read reports from the Auditor General - never ever do it at night.
Because you will not sleep.
You see stuff like this:
During 2024-2025, someone from @SakajaJohnson's administration withdrew KSH 1.9 billion from a "salary account" in a local bank.
The auditor says: fine. Show me where that money went. People that got paid.
You know - human beings. Names. Departments. Job profiles.
@SakajaJohnson had NONE. ZILCH.
And the 124 MCAs in Nairobi county could not be bothered to ask questions.

Ruto anaonaga watu wakiwa ng'ombe sana. Btw are there coffee farmers in Kericho? Now you understand the people who were ferried from kericho to Kirinyaga were there to cheer and clap for him when he said coffee farmers to be paid within 5 days. Kirinyaga coffee farmers knew very well that is impossible
From "Kila chief in the next six months atakuwa na tablet" to several months later, a spot check by KTN has revealed that some chiefs are still operating from dilapidated colonial-era structures instead of modern offices, while others continue to serve residents from makeshift workstations under trees.

President Ruto left Gusii residents puzzled after relaunching a stalled road project he first launched in 2018 while serving as Deputy President. Eight years later, now as President, he returned to relaunch the same road again, this time from a different section.
