This is a shame. Public office is meant to serve the people, not to become a family employment bureau. If reports of filling nearly every available Luhya government slot with relatives are true, then that’s nepotism, not leadership. Our community deserves fairness, merit, and equal opportunity not dynasties.

My fren I thought you’re above this!
What kenya is actually building
In the latest agreement signed by Kenya is for the expansion of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), not a completely new mega-airport. The reported cost is about US$1.2 billion (roughly KSh 154 billion). The project includes a new terminal, modernization of existing facilities, and capacity expansion from about 7.5 million passengers to 22 million annually.

What Ethiopia is building

Ethiopia is constructing an entirely new airport at Bishoftu near Addis Ababa. The project is designed to handle 60 million passengers in the first phase and up to 110 million passengers annually when fully completed, with four runways and parking for 270 aircraft. The cost is estimated at US$12.5 billion.

@Kisia_Westlands @KindikiKithure @kipmurkomen Now they are the ones in power, seated comfortably on the throne what do they want to tell Kenyans today?

What happened in the Senate today was extremely unfortunate. The manner in which the Senator handled the Governor of Samburu was not only disrespectful but also diminished the dignity of the House.

The Senate is steadily losing its focus on accountability. Instead of serving as a guardian of oversight and integrity, it is beginning to look like a platform for intimidation and theatrics. Oversight must never turn into harassment.
Leadership demands firmness, yes but also decorum, fairness, and respect. If we reduce serious accountability processes to public spectacle, we risk eroding the very institutions we are meant to protect.

@KTNNewsKE This is so primitive

The recent teargas incidents are unacceptable and escalating dangerously. Last month in Othaya, police lobbed canisters into Witima ACK Church during a service with Gachagua, disrupting worship, endangering worshippers (including children), and sparking assassination claims. Yesterday in Kitengela, tear gas (and worse) dispersed Sifuna’s peaceful Linda Mwananchi rally, forcing crowds to flee amid chaos. And today in Nyamakima another opposition gathering faced the same excessive force, turning Nairobi CBD into smoke and panic.
This pattern of repression targeting churches, rallies, and citizens must stop before it triggers the 2027 peace of this country. Kenyans deserve to assemble and speak freely without fear. Enough with the tear gas! #StopPoliceBrutality #DefendRights

@citizentvkenya @JohnMbadiN ODM was built from the sweat and sacrifice of ordinary Kenyans it was never a personal project.

When Sifuna speaks, many believe he’s echoing the voice of the same grassroots supporters Raila represented for years.

So when CS Mbadi says he wasn’t speaking on behalf of the party, which party does he mean? The millions of loyal supporters who built ODM, or a section of leaders now aligned with KK?

A party belongs to its people not just those in office.

As of late 2024, approximately 22.3 million individuals in Kenya have records registered with Credit Reference Bureaus (CRBs), according to data from Metropol.
Key Data Regarding CRB Listings in Kenya:
Total Registered Individuals: The number of individuals with credit profiles (both positive and negative) increased significantly from 14 million pre-COVID to 22.3 million by September 30, 2024.
Default/Blacklist Numbers: While over 20 million are registered, a smaller subset is blacklisted (negative listing) for non-performing loans, with reports indicating 5-6 million were considered distressed in 2022-2023.

It is increasingly concerning how the EACC appears to concentrate its energy on county governments, which collectively control barely 15% of the national budget, while the remaining 85% sits with the national government. If corruption is truly the target, logic and numbers demand that scrutiny follows where the money is.

Counties have become the soft target high visibility, limited resources, and easy political headlines yet the real rot thrives where mega budgets, opaque procurement, and large national projects are handled. That is where billions disappear, where audit queries pile up, and where accountability is weakest.

Fighting corruption should not be selective or politically convenient. It must be proportional, fearless, and focused on impact. Until enforcement matches the scale of resources controlled, Kenyans will continue to question whether the anti-corruption fight is about justice or distraction.

What is unfolding at SHA shows the gap between policy intentions and implementation. Kenyans are not opposed to reform they are opposed to confusion, system failures, and lack of clarity. Healthcare reforms must prioritize continuity of care, transparency, and preparedness. When systems change, citizens should not suffer in the process. SHA must work for Kenyans, not against them.

@eurofootcom Raya was the problem too he was not in his form.

The decision to remove Sen. Bonny Khalwale as Majority Whip was a strategic blunder of epic proportions. You don’t weaken your own house by replacing a battle-tested leader with a political toddler. Khalwale’s experience, resilience, and national stature cannot be wished away. But he’s happy he really wished they do that.

[Eng Desmond Shivachi @DShivachi]

@DrBKhalwale Senator, welcome home. Your people stand with you, we appreciate you, and we love you for the courage you’ve always shown. Tuko nyuma yako.

@smutoro This is pure intimidation but these are old tricks. They never work the way they intend. In fact, they always produce the opposite effect. The more they try to silence him, the stronger the message becomes.

@Honcalebamisi These are just the last kicks of a dying horse loud, frantic, and completely predictable.

Absolutely spot on. This is the clarity Kenyans have been begging for. The debt conversation has been hidden behind politics for far too long, and what you’ve highlighted is exactly why the country is sinking. The pattern of reckless borrowing, zero accountability, and shifting blame must end.

Whether people like it or not, these are the hard truths Kenya must confront if we’re ever going to break free from this debt trap. Leaders past and present must be held accountable. Parliament cannot watch silently as the country bleeds.
