Sections of Uhuru Park will be hived off to "expand Uhuru Highway".
Parts of Karura Forest will be hived off "to plant tree seedlings and build rangers' accommodation units".
Parts of Nairobi National Park will be hived off "to construct parking yards for the new Bomas International Convention Centre".
Sections of Ngong Forest are being cut down for "the construction of the Ngong-Riruta rail line and an international resort and casino".
Practically every green and gazetted area within the Nairobi Metropolitan area is being targeted.
And this is place where scrutiny is highest.
Can you imagine what is happening in gazetted areas in the Rift Valley.
When pastoralists are in power, every green space is either pasture for "wega ngombe wagule yiote" or merely something to degazette, cut down and build some ugly concrete structure.
Scarcity mentality at birth.
We found evidence of construction going on inside the Nairobi National Park but @KWSKenya just confiscated our drone. Currently protests by lobby groups and environmentalists are going on over the construction.
Has it occurred to the gorvement that maybe students are panicking, because they are watching their eder brothers and sisters who have already graduated still struggling at home . Could it be that they are losing hope and we all know hope is a dangerous thing to loose .
I have a friend with a 130ft yacht. One day we were chilling on it …
I said “I need to own this boat someday”
He said “no it’s too big, hard to find dock space, to much crew. The best boat I ever had was my 90ft”
I said “so sell this and buy a 90ft”
He said “fuck that, I��ll sell this for a 190ft”
That was the moment it hit me.
He won’t ever be satisfied with all his shit and striving to his level means I am not satisfied with all my shit.
We will both forever be on the Hedonic Treadmill.
Someone called to ask if I could help get blood and platelets from Kisumu. I told them I could try, but I wasn't making any promises. Hb dropped to 4.1g/dL, platelets were below 10,000. I panicked ... I truly wanted to help, but blood cannot just be transported like potatoes. This June, for those who can come to Homabay for a blood drive please join me! Pt was referred to a different county! Life !
@footsoldierRow I served an MP from Ganze in Westlands several times years ago. He would "special" order books specifically about how to lie using statistics (basically, manipulation and misrepresentation of information through statistics). It's like the leaders from those areas were born THUGS.
I have a theory.
Ndio watu wa 90s/00s are turning to taxable age. They thought taxes are just those things on payslips.
Sasa kimeanza kuwaramba.
FYI, pay your taxes - not an absurd government.
Kenya's 'middle class' is too busy attending half marathons and music festivals to notice attempts at destroying them.
Housing levy, fuel levy, PAYE, incoming carbon tax, inflation, fuel price hikes, rising cost of living while salaries remain the same.
Wake up sheeple.
You might be driving on the road observing all traffic rules alafu out of nowhere unakutana na watu kama hawa kwa barabara driving like madmen and overtaking carelessly!.. we need to bring back sanity in our roads
That's cool. I'm not creating a kemya power app account if I don't have a direct connection. Shouldn't need an account - compared to old app. But, what do I know.
Breaking: KPLC has quietly launched a new app called My Power, weeks after we raised concerns here about how outdated and limited the old app was.
Having tested it, I must admit it is a significant improvement. You can now see your latest token purchases, track your monthly electricity consumption, and even monitor reported power outages to see whether they have been resolved.
For example, one account we tested showed usage of 58, 85, and 72 units over the last three months. That's the kind of information consumers should have had access to years ago.
Credit where it's due. This is a much better product than what existed before.
But now KPLC must answer one question: Why are Kenyans still paying for electricity and then waiting minutes or even hours for token messages to arrive?
In 2026, why can't tokens be credited instantly to the meter the moment payment is confirmed? Why should a family sit in darkness because an SMS is delayed?
Has anyone else experienced token delays recently? How long did you wait, and what's the longest you've ever waited for tokens after paying?
KPLC, please fix token delays. Paying for electricity, then waiting hours for a token SMS while sitting in darkness in 2026, makes absolutely no sense. Tokens should be credited instantly once payment is confirmed.
😅 Most business in the immediate outskirts of Nairobi have a bar area full of expensive alcohol, large halls, you name it. 15 waiting staff. On 5 acres. But biz for the last 1 year, wapi! But it's been as so for 1-2 years. Watu si wajinga bana.
Kenyans need to start asking harder questions about this unexplained money economy.
Many of you have walked into certain hotels, clubs, restaurants, lounges and car yards and found almost no serious business going on. A hotel has empty rooms, an empty restaurant, bored waiters and barely any movement, but if you are told that same hotel deposits millions of shillings every day as sales, even you will be shocked.
That is how dirty money enters the financial system. The money cannot remain in suitcases forever. At some point it must be given a business story. It must be called hotel sales, club sales, restaurant sales, consultancy income, car sales or real estate payments.
In serious jurisdictions, investigators do not just admire cash in suitcases and issue statements. They follow the money into the businesses that are used to clean it. If a club has no customers but claims huge daily sales, if a hotel has no guests but deposits millions, if a restaurant sells one cup of tea in a day but takes Ksh5 million to the bank in the evening, that is where the real investigation begins.
Banks already know these things because banks ask questions when deposits do not match the business reality. The question is why Kenyan authorities are not cracking down harder when everyone can see that some people are not running businesses, they are washing money.
This is why the Ksh65 million allegedly recovered in the Patrick Analo matter should not end as a suitcase story. Authorities must ask where such money was going next, which businesses would have received it, which banks would have accepted it, which assets would have absorbed it and who else is helping this dirty money look clean.
Kenya is full of businesses with no customers but huge money. That is not entrepreneurship but laundering with a business permit.
