Business owners and small traders across Kenya have raised major concerns over stringent Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) tax enforcement on shipping containers. The crackdown targets unbundled cargo and under-declared goods, leading to severe shipment detentions, demurrage fees, and inflated clearing costs at the Port of Mombasa and Nairobi deconsolidation points.
Capitalism doesn't exist to solve problems, it exists to create profit.
And profit is created by milking problems and making sure that not only do they go on forever, they also become more 'expensive'.
Just watched the CCTV footage from the Albert Ojwang case and I’m sick to my stomach.
They literally let guys into his cell, let them harm him, and walked out like nothing happened.
If a police cell isn’t safe anymore, where are citizens supposed to be safe in this country?
This govt must go
The very definition of an inauspicious start. The New Chancellor will push public debt further into the red to buy US weaponry that does nothing either to bolster productivity or UK's defences. The same ol' Home Secretary will continue practising ritualistic brutality (or vicious signalling) on refugees. Cooper will continue hollowing out the NHS, in full Blairite fashion. And Ed is tasked to turn full-blooded genocide complicity into something cluddlier. https://t.co/gi1sWwUbBw
Just a reminder that new Prime Minister Andy Burnham voted for the Iraq War, an illegal war that killed over a million people.
He joined Labour Friends of Israel, called BDS “spiteful”, praised Israel as a “democracy”, described the Balfour Declaration as “British values in action”, and still refuses to call the genocide in Palestine a genocide.
Not wearing a suit, having a northern accent, and getting rid of a lectern doesn’t make you a radical alternative. He’s the establishment’s last roll of the dice.
The older I get, the more I realize intelligence is just knowing what to ignore. Texts. Calls. People. Food. Places. Unhealthy relationships. Living simply. And privately. Choosing depth over noise. That will do.
Climate change is coming for us all, and last night it reached the heart of Scotland's capital.
A wildfire broke out in Holyrood Park, Edinburgh, as strong winds and tinder-dry vegetation helped the flames spread.
This is not the Amazon. This is not Australia. This is Scotland.

It is a clear sign of Starmer's fraud that the UK Consulate in East Jerusalem was not upgraded to an Embassy to Palestine when they pretended to "recognise" Palestine.
It is still subordinate to the British Embassy in Tel Aviv. Diplomatically, this is a huge statement and a real practical difference.
A growing number of Kenyans are walking away from President William Ruto’s Affordable Housing Programme and demanding their money back.
New figures show that almost half of all funds collected through the Boma Yangu savings platform have been paid back to contributors.
