I'm not backing down from this one.

You can support people's rights AND believe biological men shouldn't compete in women's sports. Those two things are not mutually exclusive.

My issue isn't hate. It's protecting women, protecting girls, and asking why a WNBA coach chose to inject herself into a controversy that could hurt the very league she's supposed to represent.

Common sense still matters. That's where I stand.

My full remarks are on YouTube.

[George Njoroge @georgenjoroge_]

Hon. Duale,

I build information systems for a living, so let me speak to you not as a politician but as the technical man in the room because the defence you have mounted is legally tidy and technically hollow.

You have answered the wrong question.

The country did not ask whether the two per cent fee is legal.

Everyone can see it is gazetted.

The country asked whether it should exist and who was positioned to collect it before the ink dried.

“Parliament approved it” is not a rebuttal to that, it is a confession that the charge was written into law rather than won in a tender.

Let me put it in terms my clients understand.

When an organisation buys an ERP, it pays once to build it and a maintenance fee to keep it running.

It does not then pay a toll every time a clerk writes a record into a database it already owns.

You have built the health rail with public money and then legislated a turnstile on it and pegged the turnstile to two per cent of the value passing through.

That is not “a capped fee for the use of a system,” as you put it.

The KES 5,000 cap limits a single claim; it does nothing to the aggregate.

As enrolment grows and claim volumes rise, that revenue line grows with them, automatically, forever.

You have not priced a service.

You have indexed a private income to the size of the national health budget.

Call that what it is.

You defend the arrangement by noting the law “permits sub-contracting.”

When a man reaches for the sub-contract to justify the deal, he is protecting whoever sits beneath the consortium and earns the percentage.

You told us where to look.

Here is the technical truth beneath the legal language: when you write the revenue model a fixed percentage, a named “Data Exchange Component,” a specific architecture into a regulation, you have not run a procurement.

Any of us who has sat on the other side of a Microsoft or Oracle negotiation knows exactly what a vendor lock written into law looks like and this is it, only worse, because the customer here cannot walk away.

Every Kenyan is the captive user.

I will grant you the one thing you are right about.

UHC cannot run on paper, and digitisation is not the enemy I would be the last man to argue it.

But that is not the fight, and you know it.

The fight is whether a public health system, once built with public money, should carry a private, volume-linked toll written into the law itself, and whether the hand collecting it earned that place on merit or was simply named in advance.

You closed by saying every shilling under Taifa Care belongs to the Kenyan patient.

You wrote that one paragraph after explaining the two per cent that does not.

Yours, in candour,

Njoroge from Kingeero.

From @TheAthleticFC: U.S. host cities for the 2026 World Cup are chasing FIFA for millions of dollars they believe they were promised by soccer’s governing body that have so far gone unpaid. https://t.co/u4RjrmLdjg

[Ali Al Hussein @AliBinAlHussein]

There is no shortage of issues regarding FIFA. Let me start by clarifying what some of these are from an FA perspective, in particular that of Jordan going into a World Cup for the first time.
We are a small country with a minimal budget for our FA and had to deal with enormous hurdles. First, getting our fans into the USA: not all were granted VISAS, even though they had tickets -which we also know were sold at exorbitant prices. Secondly, we are being taxed by the US govt through FIFA for our participation. Money that should go to players and staff. This was not the case for those who played and set up camp in Canada and Mexico. But we happened to be in the USA so now we face these huge costs in taxes for having participated.
Thirdly we have been waiting for reward money for our players since December for the Arab cup in Qatar, which is a FIFA event. The money our team should receive for having reached the final has not been delivered yet, while at the same time FIFA brags about how many billions they have in reserve.
It is clear the problem really is with leadership. For months, FIFA has been refusing to help us on any of these or other matters- until it was verbally communicated to me during the World Cup that if I endorsed Infantino it would go a long way to helping our FA out.
We pride ourselves in Jordan in upholding ethical values. We did not endorse him before and certainly will not now. But the whole situation amounts to blackmail and we refuse to give in to that.

🗣️ Arsene Wenger statement on Gianni Infantino’s failed FFE plans. “The recent events at FIFA deserve some clarity from my side.

“At FIFA, I am the Chief of Global Football Development. 

“Together with my team, I oversee the data analysis of the game, the FIFA online training centre, the development of youth education through 60 academies across 60 countries where they are most needed, and youth competitions around the world.

“In addition, I am a technical adviser to IFAB.

“I was not involved in this strategic plan and first became aware of the project through media reports.

“The decision to withdraw the project was absolutely necessary and beyond question, because I firmly believe in an independent FIFA that serves our game with commitment, transparency, and integrity.”

morocco got a penalty, but yasmin mrabet missed the first pen & then the ref had to check again & turned out that the senegalese goalie had went off her line & the pen had to be retaken & then mrabet had decided to retake it, but she had missed it again 😦

[Fudbalski savez Srbije | FA of Serbia @FSSrbije]

Фудбалски савез Србије повукао је подршку Ђанију Инфантину за нови мандат на функцији председника ФИФА.

Подсећамо да смо господину Инфантину пружили подршку 25. маја ове године у писаној форми, али после пажљивог сагледавања догађаја, који су у минулом периоду озбиљно нарушили углед и репутацију како ФИФА, тако и њеног председника, ово је једини логичан и рационални потез.

Фудбалски савез Србије сматра да будућност светског фудбала мора да буде заснована на транспарентности, дијалогу, међусобном уважавању и партнерском односу свих конфедерација и националних савеза.

Верујемо да ниједна одлука од стратешког значаја за будућност фудбала не сме бити донета без широког консензуса и отворених консултација са свим релевантним актерима.

Фудбалски савез Србије остаје посвећен сарадњи са ФИФА, УЕФА и свим националним савезима у циљу развоја и унапређења фудбала, али сматра да је у овом тренутку потребно ново поверење, нови приступ и руководство које ће допринети обнови дијалога, јединства и кредибилитета међународних фудбалских институција.

So, I looked up Kenyan coach for transportation as shown in this video, it’s called Nganya.

It’s so accurate, it’s as if you’re in a club.
