When COVID closed schools, Kenyan caregivers became the frontline of education ready or not.

What did Keep Kenya Learning uncover about parental engagement, and what still needs to change?

This Madaraka Day, we pause before we celebrate.

We mourn the 16 young lives lost at Utumishi Girls Academy. Girls who deserved every promise education holds.

True freedom includes every child's right to learn in safety.

May the young souls rest in peace. 🕊️

Orders granted!

The Court certified the application as urgent and granted interim conservatory orders restraining the Respondents from establishing, operationalising, approving, or facilitating any Ebola exposure, quarantine, isolation, or treatment facility in Kenya under any arrangement with the United States or any other foreign government or agency, pending the hearing of the application.

The Court further barred the Respondents from admitting into, transferring to, receiving within, or facilitating the entry into Kenya of any persons exposed to or infected with Ebola pursuant to the impugned arrangement.

The matter is scheduled for mention on 2nd June 2026 for further directions.

[Krutika Kuppalli, MD FIDSA @KrutikaKuppalli]

The biggest question about the U.S. building a #Ebola quarantine, isolation, and treatment facility for Americans in Kenya is not just why the U.S. is doing this — but WHY Kenya agreed to it.

This is clearly not about ensuring American healthcare workers receive the highest level of care. The U.S. already has world-class biocontainment units and highly trained teams that taxpayers have spent billions to build and sustain.

So why outsource this responsibility to another country? And what pressure or incentives were involved in making this happen?

The plan to launch this week a health facility in Kenya for Americans who may have been exposed to the Ebola virus has received widespread criticism – from both Kenyan doctors and US officials working at the CDC. https://t.co/IDEz0TVeEN

Katiba Institute Files a Petition Challenging the Proposed Establishment of Ebola Quarantine and Treatment Facilities in Kenya:

Katiba Institute is challenging the proposed establishment of a quarantine facility for American citizens exposed to Ebola and other highly infectious diseases in Kenya. The petition, through Counsel @joshuamalidzo, has been filed under a certificate of urgency. It is brought against the Attorney-General, (1st Respondent) and the Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Health (2nd Respondent).

To ensure transparency, accountability, and court oversight before a final determination is made, KI is asking the Court to urgently:

Halt Facility Operations: Restrain the Respondents from establishing, operationalising, or approving any Ebola quarantine or treatment facility in Kenya under any arrangement with the United States or other foreign governments, pending the hearing and determination of the matter.

Prevent Entry of Exposed Persons: Bar the Respondents and their agents from receiving, transferring, or facilitating the entry into Kenya of any individuals exposed or infected with Ebola under the impugned arrangement.

Compel Contingency Planning: Require the Cabinet Secretary for Health to prepare and present to the Court, within 24 hours, a comprehensive contingency plan detailing Kenya’s preparedness measures for the prevention, surveillance, control, and response to any potential Ebola outbreak.

Mandate Full Disclosure: Compel the Respondents to disclose to KI and the public the full terms for any arrangements or negotiations regarding the proposed facility. This includes all related public health, environmental, biosafety, or security assessments; regulatory and parliamentary approvals; and the specific protocols for the admission and treatment of exposed persons.

The case affirms that even in matters of diplomacy and public health, the Constitution remains supreme and binding on all State organs. The secretive, unilateral establishment of an Ebola quarantine facility raises grave constitutional concerns regarding the rights to life, health, fair administrative action, public participation, and parliamentary oversight.

“KI is asking the Court to determine whether the Executive can expose the public to such significant risks without complying with constitutional safeguards. At its core, the case is about preserving constitutional accountability, protecting public health, and ensuring that no government may place expediency above the lives and safety of the people of Kenya.”

It’s impossible to set up a high quality clinic in Kenya for a complex & lethal disease like Ebola. Ebola patients won’t get good care, risking citizens’ lives. Staff won’t have the training to protect themselves and their patients. It’s unprecedented, reckless & unethical

[David Maraga @dkmaraga]

I wish to express my solidarity with Kenyans who have to bear the burden of bad governance that has led to the paralysis of the transport sector today.

While we acknowledge that the fuel crisis is a direct result of the war against Iran, every responsible government is taking steps to cushion their citizens from the high cost of living.

As a first step, Parliament should convene immediately to ;

✅exempt all fuel products from VAT;
✅temporarily remove all fuel levies to stabilise the fuel prices:
✅redirect more resources being squandered through budgeted corruption to alleviate the energy crisis.

[Farida Bemba Nabourema @Farida_N]

There are days I envy those who carry no political consciousness whatsoever. Those who move through the world unburdened by the knowledge of the systems producing their suffering, indifferent to the past, unconcerned with the future, existing in the simple present of their own lives. There must be a peace in that innocence that I recognise from a distance and will never again be able to reach.

And there are days, more than I care to admit, when I wish I could unlearn everything I have learned, unsee what I have seen and return to the person I was before the knowledge settled into my bones and made indifference permanently impossible.

Because what nobody tells you about political consciousness is that it is not a gift but a weight. It does not liberate you from suffering. Rather, it adds to your suffering the particular anguish of understanding exactly why you are suffering and watching the vast majority of those around you remain unreachable, not out of malice but out of an exposure they never had, an experience they never lived, a set of doors that were never opened for them. You cannot share what you carry with people who do not have the vocabulary to receive it.

And so you carry it largely alone, in public spaces that mistake your urgency for performance and in private moments that offer no relief. There are days I genuinely want to go back to not knowing. I understand why that is impossible but I want it anyway.

[Farida Bemba Nabourema @Farida_N]

@EmmanuelMacron ,
You stood in Nairobi in 2026, in a summit you convened hastily to salvage what remained of France’s African credibility after the continent’s most dignified populations had organised themselves with remarkable clarity and expelled your soldiers, your bases, and your flags from their soil, and you declared, before a room full of African heads of state who had the historical misfortune of sitting there in silence, that “ you are the true Pan-Africanist”. I have been trying, with genuine intellectual effort, to locate the precise category of moral and cognitive failure that produces a statement of that magnitude, delivered with that degree of composure, and I have concluded that it does not fit neatly into any existing taxonomy. It is its own species and it requires a name that has not yet been invented, something that sits at the precise intersection of historical illiteracy, institutional shamelessness, and the specific brand of civilisational arrogance that your republic has refined across five centuries into something almost indistinguishable from a natural disposition. Allow me to offer you what your education, expensive and celebrated as it undoubtedly was, clearly failed to provide: a history lesson.

Pan-Africanism was not born in Paris. It was not theorised in the corridors of Sciences Po or the salons of the Fifth Republic. It was born in the holds of slave ships, in the plantation fields of Saint-Domingue in the exile of men and women whom your republic and its predecessors hunted, poisoned, shot, disappeared and buried in unmarked graves precisely because they had the temerity to believe that African and African-descended people deserved to govern themselves. Pan-Africanism is, at its most fundamental, the political philosophy that said no to everything France spent three centuries saying yes to: slavery, colonialism and noecolonialism.

Harry Truman once said: “The only thing new in the world is the history you do not know.”

Fellow Kenyans, our crisis did not begin yesterday.

The looting. The illegal debt. The betrayal of the Constitution. The collapse of public services. The silence of career politicians. These are old scripts repeated by leaders who believe Kenyans forget quickly.

They believe another scandal will trend. Another distraction will come. Another funeral, another handshake, another coalition, another slogan.

Meanwhile, you pay more taxes for debts you never approved and never benefited from.

Between 2014 and 2024, Kenya borrowed Sh9.11 trillion. Only Sh2.57 trillion received proper parliamentary approval. The remaining Sh6.54 trillion is odious debt, unconstitutional borrowing forced onto the backs of struggling citizens.

This is why food prices rise while wages stagnate. This is why hospitals lack medicine while billions disappear. This is why schools decline while politicians grow richer. This is why young people graduate into hopelessness.

And while Kenya bleeds, legacy politicians remain silent. Many are not fighting to fix the system. They are fighting to inherit it.

They criminalize protesters. They weaponize police. They reward political loyalists with advisory jobs funded by taxpayers. They protect corruption networks while ordinary Kenyans suffer.

We go to court because the Constitution is the last line of defense between the people and organized state plunder.

From the struggle for independence in 1963, to Saba Saba, to the 2010 Constitution, every generation of Kenyans has been called to defend freedom against greed and impunity. History is watching us now.

If we remain silent while our country is looted, future generations will remember us as the people who watched Kenya collapse and did nothing.

Read history. Defend the Constitution. Reject fear. Reject silence. Reject thieves disguised as leaders.

We must be a nation that reads, remembers, and refuses to be misled by the same old tricks. Know your history, defend your rights, and let us not be "newly" surprised by what we should have already learned.
