I talk often about the two realities unfolding simultaneously in Kenya.
The first one is the experience of 97% of Kenyans. The Contributors. Those who contribute taxes, sweat, tears, and, sometimes, blood.
They get almost nothing in return.
Their interaction with government is primarily when paying taxes, and, when they are being shaken down by the same government for bribes for basic services such as a passport.
Then there is the 3%. Those in and around government. The Consumers.
The income the country produces is not enough to care for their tastes, and their chosen lifestyles.
So, they spend twice the national income each year. Not to serve Kenyans.
To ensure that there is enough money on the table to be stolen, and, wasted on stupid endeavours that benefit those in government.
Look at the first picture.
50% of the national revenue goes to 2% of Kenyans in salaries at the national level.
Salaries alone.
To 2% of Kenyans.
At the county level, 47% of the entire budget of 47 counties goes to salaries of the 1% of the county population in government.
In salaries alone.
It’s economic apartheid.
The insane and wasteful spending on trips you see all the time, is in the remaining 50%.
And, we have not spoken about the KSH 800 billion stolen each year.
Today, the entire political class is New York.
Posting selfies for us. So that we can see how good they have it.
On our dime.
Can you tell from their selfies that they ‘represent’ a country that is KSH 13.5 trillion in debt?
A country spending 84% of every single shilling on debt service?
A country that is spending 12 shillings on debt service for each 1 shilling it spends on healthcare?
A country that is spending 3 shillings on debt service for each 1 it spends on education?
Can you tell that?
Ours is a banana republic- through and through.
How exactly are we supposed to industrialize Kenya with electricity costs like this?
EPRA has added KSh22.31 per unit in just five months:
May: KSh4.40
June: KSh3.87
July: KSh5.18
August: KSh4.70
September: KSh4.16
Compare that with our neighbours.
Tanzania: TZS292 per kWh for general users, roughly KSh 14.5 per unit. Cost for industrial users is even cheaper.
Ethiopia: about KSh2.45 per kWh (this is subsidized but still).
And Kenya has increased its cost by KSh22.31 in FIVE MONTHS ONLY. The increased cost is more than the cost of electricity for our neighbours.
Then they stand on podiums and talk about industrialization.
With what power? At what cost?
Factories need electricity. Manufacturing needs electricity.
Ama the best this 'leadership' can offer ni kazi ya mjengo?
This is a public school in Texas.
My son attends it.
It costs me $0 annually.
After I pay my taxes.
A big fat, $0.
I challenge anyone to find me a better
The last school is my primary school.
Right here in Kiambu.
That picture is not from when I attended.
It is how it looks today.
These, ladies and gentlemen, are the results of choices. Of decisions.
The people making decisions are with public funds MATTER.
More than we like to admit.
This school in the last picture is the result of stolen and misused CDF funds. Of mis-used funds.
Millions of our children are paying the price for decades so that a few people can live out their wildest imaginations.
I want to stop this.
But I cannot do it alone.
Will you join me?
Prudence. Purpose. Progress.

On Friday, 18 September 2026, I filed a Senate Notice of Motion under Standing Order 101(1) seeking to censure President William Samoei Ruto over a recurring practice of governing through oral and roadside declarations instead of constitutional, statutory and parliamentary processes.
The Motion centres on Article 135, which requires presidential decisions in the performance of constitutional functions to be in writing, sealed and signed. It argues that while the President may speak publicly, express opinions and announce policy intentions, such utterances cannot substitute for formal legal instruments where the Constitution or statute requires one.
It cites the 2 September 2026 declaration on foreign nationals in small-scale trade; the 3 September 2026 directive to Tata Chemicals Magadi to “pack up and leave” amid ongoing statutory and court processes; past statements on the Mumias Sugar litigation; the May 2025 Meru County debt pledge; unbudgeted health and development commitments; and pronouncements affecti
Many citizens don't know why we fought for devolution. We can't go back to the old imperial system.
Karua and that team were against it.
Dr Crispin Mbai had to be assassinated because he was the chair of the devolution committee at Bomas.
The cabal didn't want it. They weakened it in the Wako/Kilifi draft, and that is why it was rejected in 2005, what led to the birth of ODM.
Factually, only 15% - 20% of the national revenue goes to counties.
The rest, 80% - 85%, remain in the national government.
We can't be going 10 steps forward, and then 15 steps backwards.
Vote for sober Governors, intelligent Senators and competent MCAs.
Attend county budgetary meetings and follow the proceedings of your county assemblies.
But you vote for idiots and crooks, hire corrupt contractors (Ni nyinyi wenyewe) who construct shoddy county projects, and then you come on social media to complain.
CHANGE or PERISH.
A KTN investigation into the August 16 attack on the Linda Mwananchi convoy in Homa Bay has named Governor Gladys Wanga and MP Peter Kaluma, with anonymous sources revealing that the two held a night meeting where Wanga claimed support "from above" and ordered youths to block roads and stop the convoy by force.
The recruits were reportedly paid Ksh 500 each, armed and spent hours until dawn on the streets, while local leader Abdi Kassim is said to have assured them police would not intervene in the ambush that later left multiple people dead, dozens injured, media crews assaulted and multiple vehicles set ablaze.
This guy is very manipulative. First, he creates a nonexistent conflict.
“Mtu asidharauliwe kwa sababu ya kilemba.”
I don't remember that being an issue in this country. Akorinos have been doing their thing without anyone having a problem with them.
Then proceeds to promise 50 TSC letters for votes of course. That is unconstitutional! He has no power to even hand one letter to anyone. That should be a TSC job.
This is what we are rejecting in 2027. When they ask us what the agenda is, they are the agenda. They piss on our constitution.
Wuuue 🥹 I've seen this story on TikTok na I can't sleep. This woman from Baragoi was forced into marriage at 10 years. She didn't Even know sex, her 75 year old husband would rape her akiwa ameshikiwa miguu na bibi wa kwanza.
She got her first kid at 12 years! She didn't even know she was pregnant,alikuwa anashangaa mbona ameshiba😭the whole 9 months. No hospital, no clinics. Huko hakuna nguo wala maji .
Siku ya kupata mtoto the co wives literally tore her ndio wamzalishe alafu akatengwa in a ka room for some time juu ata hakuna pads a bleedie huko. After three months amerudi kuchunga mbuzi. Then one day wezi wakakuja and they raped her and other women, and also killed her 5 year old boy! Shot as she watched. ..then kurudi home akapata mzee ame shootiwa na kwao her dad was killed na mathee bled to death from gunshot ya mguu sababu hakuna hospital, they literally boil herbs wakigonjeka!.
Hakuna ata shule and the shopping center Iko mbali it takes 4 days kwenda na kurudi
The whole story is so painful but kitu imeniguza ni mahali amesema.
"Nikasema niende nione Kenya" 😭😭😭like literally she doesn't know Baragoi is in Kenya sababu life is very different in Nairobi ....

What we are seeing now is what was predicted in the Waki Commission Report, the Kriegler Commission Report, the Kofi Annan Mediation — Kenya National Dialogue and Reconciliation (KNDR, 2008–2013) and the TJRC Report (2008–2013). We must stop this before it gets out of hand
Since the Controller of Budget, Auditor-General, Salaries and Remuneration Commission, and the Central Bank of Kenya are constitutionally independent institutions established within Part 6 of Chapter Twelve to safeguard public resources, on what constitutional basis is the National Treasury - the primary institution responsible for financial control under Article 225 - reduced to a department of the Executive under the direct authority of a Cabinet Secretary and a Principal Secretary who serve at the pleasure of the President?
Ezekiel Nzyoki (popularly known as “Mr. Speaker, Sir”) entered Parliament (a public building), lawfully, while unarmed, on June 25, 2024 to peaceably protest the passage of Finance Bill 2024 (which was recalled thereafter). He exercised his constitutionally entrenched and protected rights.
But the tyrannical clueless regime of @WilliamsRuto has now charged him with mythical crimes of “damage to property worth Shs. 41 million” merely on account of sitting on the speaker’s chair and saying, “Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are here!”
Meanwhile, the armed goons (calling themselves police officers) who abducted, illegally detained, tortured, maimed, disappeared and slaughtered thousands of Kenyans have not been arrested, charged, tried, convicted and punished to the full extent of the law.
Yet, @WilliamsRuto still deludes himself that he can be reelected the president of Kenya. #RutoMustGo
A General Constitutional Test for the IMF Treaty
A treaty, statute, or international agreement amounts to a de facto constitutional amendment if it:
(a) removes a constitutional power from a constitutional organ;
(b) transfers that power to an entity not established by the Constitution;
(c) immunises the exercise of that power from constitutional scrutiny or judicial oversight; or
(d) fundamentally alters the relationship between the people and the institutions through which they exercise sovereign power.
Where any of these effects arises, the court must ask one question. Were the constitutional amendment procedures under Articles 255, 256, or 257 followed?
If the answer is no, then the measure is unconstitutional and invalid to the extent that it purports to alter the Constitution.
