Chinese nationals are operating a dredger boat, extracting gold in River Yala with no licence, no environmental approval and no legal right to be in that water at all.
Who let them in? Who keeps letting them back?

Residents further allege the use of mercury on the dredger boat inside River Yala,
A toxic metal that traps gold and one of the most dangerous substances that can ever enter a river.
But after watching the fish die, artisanal miners point to a second chemical.

A river that has fed generations is being emptied. Not by its own people. But by strangers.
This is River Yala. The river that originates from Nandi Hills and terminates in Lake Victoria.
Chinese nationals are dredging, seeking to extract gold in the middle of the river.

FELLOW KENYANS, THE CONSTITUTION IS UNDER SIEGE! 🇰🇪
Our Constitution was designed with one clear principle. No single political office should have unchecked control over public money. That is why it separates political leadership from the management of the country’s finances.
Article 225(1) establishes the National Treasury as the constitutional custodian of public finances. Its role is too important to be left to politics alone.
Yet Section 11 of the Public Finance Management Act places the National Treasury under the National Executive and under the authority of a political Cabinet Secretary.
This is not a small legal issue. It goes to the heart of constitutional governance.
Parliament has the power to make laws that implement the Constitution. It does not have the power to change the Constitution through an ordinary Act of Parliament.
When the independence of public financial management is weakened, the checks that protect taxpayers’ money are weakened too.
The Constitution must remain above politics. Every law passed by Parliament must respect it.
If we fail to defend Chapter Twelve today, we risk eroding one of the most important safeguards for accountability and responsible use of public resources.
The Constitution belongs to all of us. Defending it is a duty we all share.
