Into systems and processes

[Henry Kabogo 💧 ❄ 🇰🇪 @Kabogo_Henry]

The court stopping NTSA’s smart driving licence and automated fines system should make us ask a bigger question…

Is Kenya really chasing road safety, or are we rushing to automate punishment?

You cannot copy Germany’s cameras and forget Germany’s engineering.

You cannot copy developed countries’ fines and ignore the decades they spent building safer roads, pedestrian systems, markings, intelligent highways and driver culture.

Even today, pedestrians on Thika Road and our bypasses still gamble with death crossing highways because basic footbridges and safe crossing points are missing.

But somehow, the fastest infrastructure we can complete is the one that sends a fine to your phone.

A camera does not save the pedestrian who has nowhere safe to cross.

A smart licence does not fix a poorly designed road.

A digital fine does not replace investment in safety.

Kenyans are not against technology. Kenyans are not against discipline.

But technology without fairness feels like taxation with a different name.

Countries we admire built the foundation first — then automated enforcement.

We seem to be automating enforcement while still struggling with the foundation.

Road safety should start by protecting lives…

Not perfecting how to collect money from them.

The race for; iridium, gallium, tantalum, beryllium, germanium, coltan, lithium, uranium, titanium, niobium, gold, manganese, tungsten, nickel, rubies, oil and gas, will be either what wakes up Kenyans, or finally breaks our fatherland.

We are a few steps away from being a superpower or being a failed state.
The current crop of leaders cannot usher in a golden age for our sacres land.

So I ask, to what end shall we be herded into poverty, enslavement to imperialism, indebted to international banking cartels and a dark future?

We have never known true sovereignty.
Our republic is still a colony of the British Crown.
Laikipia for example, even though it's endowed with trillions of dollars worth of precious metals, is owned by English lords, and registered in the United Kingdom- Laikipia Limited.

Our mineral wealth is also owned by the Crown, via World Bank.
Not a single gram of rare earths is touched without permission from The City of London.

Cue, Jacob Juma, he 'discovered' Niobium worth $300B in Mrima Hill, Kwale County, but only disclosed a third of the mineral wealth, $100B.
Why?
Because the two-thirds remainder would be owned by British/Scottish mining companies Cortec Mining Co and Stirling.
He was murdered by Kenya's excellent thugs; all of them not just PRESIDENT EBOLA.

In Turkana they discovered oil worth about $44B in Ngamia 1.

Then they did extra radar scans around Lodwar and discovered;
1. A fresh water aquiffer that had enough water to be supplied to all Kenyans, non-stop for 70 years.
It'd support irrigation and household utility and usher an agricultural boom.

Then an organization called the IDLO was involved and within 48hrs, Kenya's minister of water came out and declared the water saline and too expensive to desalinate, even though it was initially announced as fresh water.
Why?
The second discovery is.

2. Oil worth over $250B in only 4 wells.
Underline only.
Those who studied stratigraphy know we have more oil than Venezuela's $33 Trillion but that is a story for another day.
Yes, you heard that right.

Back to the 4 wells;
Tullows, a London registered oil corporation, the same one that had won the tender for Ngamia 1, claimed they couldn't extract the oil.
Because...they didn't have the technology.

Immediately after, Kenyan excellent thugs, rushed to privatise the land.
A firm allied to Moses Wetangula managed to privatise the land, endowed with two hundred and fifty billion dollars for only eight hundred and forty million Kenyan shillings.

A few years later, Tullows allowed for a subsidiary to be registered, Gulf Energy, majority owned by Kenya's political class.

And finally, they are extracting the oil.
They have the technology.

When the quest for independence grew and became uncontrollable, British government rushed to do geological surveys of Kenya.
To map mineral formations and endowment.

They discovered that our land had over 970 minerals, all economically viable.

So to hide them, they declared reserve concentration points as national parks, national reserves, animal sanctuaries, conservancies and forests.

Get it?
They don't care for the baby elephants, it's what the cute jumbo helps them conceal.

Economic freedom, absolute liberty and sovereignty won't be restored by digital anger.
I beseech you, take this fight for your livelihoods to the streets.

The streets is where they can't control you.
Non-stop mass action.
Mothers, fathers, children and the youth in the frontline.
It'd take you 30 minutes to get back your power.

Article one of the CoK clearly stipulates you can administer yourselves directly too.

Get up off your knees, let's get free.

We have a fiercely cannibalistic government that compromises everyone. Winter is coming the night will be long and cold . Reporting from ndeiyashire a sad sad kamau waruhiu.

It’s actually insane that people used to casually receive a giant book with everyone’s home address and phone number in it. 😭

🧵 People with ADHD are not lazy.

Their brain has a dopamine supply chain shortage. And that changes everything about how they need to work.

Here is what is actually going on and how to fix it.

[Ernest Nyakundi 🇰🇪 @ernest_nyakundi]

Ever wondered why some people own multiple properties…

…but are still broke?

This is how it happens.

A client was about to take a KSh 35M loan to build rental units.

On paper, it looked perfect.

Then we did the math.

A thread 🧵

[Gichuki Kahome @kahome_steve]

If I was a beginner investor starting with just KES 100,000 on the NSE today,

Here's exactly how I would split it.

Portfolio breakdown below 👇🧵

[Simons @Simon_Ingari]

HR: What are your salary expectations?
Candidate: 250,000 per month.

HR: We really liked your profile, but it's a little over our current budget.

Candidate: I really like this role. If 240,000 is okay, I'm willing to adjust.

HR: Great. Let's finalize at 220,000.

The candidate agreed—a little hesitant, but remained hopeful.

Later in the office:

"Position filled," HR reported.
“The budget was 280,000 — the deal closed at 220,000. Saved 60,000 per month!”

HR Manager: “Excellent. This was a very smart hiring move.”

A few weeks later…
The newly hired employee learns the truth — that colleagues in the same role are earning 270,000 to 280,000.

1. Motivation erodes
2. Trust erodes
3. Performance plummets
4. Resignations ensue

And this is how the company returns to zero:

- Another vacancy
- Another recruitment cycle
- More onboarding costs
- All the time and productivity wasted

Really?

👉 Underpaying talented professionals doesn't save anything—it only delays the cost.

👉 If you want to retain top talent, compensate them fairly from day one.

They don't just bring skills—they also bring stability, loyalty, and long-term value.

Have you seen such a situation in your career life?

[Mr. Northern Aura @Nichola49136897]

To add on the excellent points raised, here’s a structured view of what this means for businesses and individuals:

1. The End of Invisible Transactions: eTIMS isn't just for VAT-registered entities anymore. Every expense claimed by any taxpayer must now have a valid eTIMS invoice as its digital footprint. This creates an unbreakable chain of evidence from transaction to tax return.

2. The Myth of "Final Tax" is Busted: The reminder on Withholding Tax (WHT) is critical. Many treat the 5% WHT as the end of their tax obligation. KRA is now explicitly stating that it's a prepayment. Your final tax liability is calculated on your full profit, with the WHT credit applied. Misalignment between your declared income and the WHT in your iTax ledger will be a major red flag.

Action Plan for 2025:

· Internal Audit: Conduct a review now of your 2024 expense documentation. How many lack eTIMS?
· Process Upgrade: Integrate eTIMS compliance into your procurement and accounting processes immediately.
· Reconcile iTax: Ensure every WHT certificate you've issued and received is accurately reflected in your iTax ledger before you file for 2025.

This isn't about "seeing very bad things"; it's about seeing a new, non-negotiable standard for transparency. The businesses that adapt now will be the ones that thrive

The Rule of 100:

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

The older I get, the more I realize you can reinvent yourself as many times as you need. New habits. New mindsets. New standards. New people. New career. You’re never stuck. You’re allowed to change. Today, tomorrow, and as many times as it takes to create the life you want.

[David Mwangi @davmwas]

@ruth_karauri Aah okay, understood - it's more of getting licenced to fly either, like different classes of vehicles that you have to get licenced to drive something like that?

[David Mwangi @davmwas]

@ruth_karauri hello Captain, a big fan here for being in inspiration to our sisters who have dared to dream. I have a question, would a Boeing Captain like you fly an A380 and vice versa or would there be some form of training needed to familiarise with either aircraft?

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Major cheat code for life: Anything above zero compounds. Showing up consistently matters more than showing up perfectly. Small things become big things. Never allow optimal to get in the way of beneficial.
