What happened at the entrance of Ngong Racecourse at around 4 a.m. is deeply disturbing.
People were leaving an event, tired and simply trying to get home.
Instead, they found goons waiting outside, timing those coming out and ambushing them.
Some were robbed. Others were injured. Many were left frightened and traumatized.
Imagine leaving an event in the early hours of the morning, thinking about getting home safely, only to discover that a group of thugs has been waiting outside to attack you.
That is not just a security incident.
It is a frightening reminder of how vulnerable ordinary citizens can feel in Nairobi.
And this is where leadership matters.
When citizens repeatedly raise concerns about gangs, robberies, violence and insecurity, the answer cannot simply be to dismiss them.
People are not discussing security as an academic subject.
They are speaking from what they have seen, suffered and experienced.
Under @InteriorKE CS @kipmurkomen we've suffered as a nation. The CS himself is a crook full of bitterness & vengeance.
It is particularly painful when the Interior Ministry appears consumed by political confrontations while ordinary Nairobians are dealing with criminals on the streets.
Politics can wait.
Security cannot.
A mother waiting for her child to come home at 4 a.m. does not care which politician is winning an argument. She cares that her child is safe.
A young person leaving an event should not have to calculate the risk of being robbed or assaulted before deciding whether to go home.
We must stop normalising this. It's time we arm ourselves & protect one another.
The people attacked at Ngong Racecourse are not statistics.
They are someone's children, someone's friends, someone's brothers and sisters.
They went out expecting to enjoy themselves and return home safely.
They deserve justice.
They deserve protection.
And they deserve a government that takes their fear seriously.
Kenya cannot afford a situation where criminals become increasingly confident while citizens become increasingly afraid.
The first duty of government is to protect the people.
When citizens no longer feel safe in their own city tourists and investors are not safe.
@CA_Kenya Discussions also highlighted the need to address unlicensed operators, which distorts the market and affect compliant providers. Stronger enforcement and closer collaboration between industry players and regulators remain critical to restore confidence and accountability.
A woman miscarried at Rwanyambo Police Station in Kinangop. She was being held on allegations of stealing 9k from her employer. She was denied medical attention since Tuesday. They dropped her and the corpse of her baby at hospital Leo usiku.
I have watched the drama unfolding around Butere Girls with a mix of sadness, frustration, and, honestly, amusement.
If I were the President’s advisor, here’s what I would have done:

Nelson Amenya, Receive your Flowers.
President William Ruto has finally ordered the cancellation of the Adani deal involving JKIA and KETRACO.
Appreciation Tweet for Nelson Amenya!

Cruel misuse of police powers. A former domestic worker in Saudi Arabia went to ask for her passport confiscated by an agent Grace Waithera. Grace called police to arrest the poor woman, it's her 2nd day at Central Police Nbi..

Kenya is not a colony of America. We are fed up with you.Go back to your country and leave because we existed even before you came to Kenya.

Resign Meg Whitman. Kenyans don't want you. Run away the way you did like a chased wild dog at the Peak of Gen Z protests. #ResignMegWhitman#RecallMegWhiteman
