Hon. Duale,
I build information systems for a living, so let me speak to you not as a politician but as the technical man in the room because the defence you have mounted is legally tidy and technically hollow.
You have answered the wrong question.
The country did not ask whether the two per cent fee is legal.
Everyone can see it is gazetted.
The country asked whether it should exist and who was positioned to collect it before the ink dried.
“Parliament approved it” is not a rebuttal to that, it is a confession that the charge was written into law rather than won in a tender.
Let me put it in terms my clients understand.
When an organisation buys an ERP, it pays once to build it and a maintenance fee to keep it running.
It does not then pay a toll every time a clerk writes a record into a database it already owns.
You have built the health rail with public money and then legislated a turnstile on it and pegged the turnstile to two per cent of the value passing through.
That is not “a capped fee for the use of a system,” as you put it.
The KES 5,000 cap limits a single claim; it does nothing to the aggregate.
As enrolment grows and claim volumes rise, that revenue line grows with them, automatically, forever.
You have not priced a service.
You have indexed a private income to the size of the national health budget.
Call that what it is.
You defend the arrangement by noting the law “permits sub-contracting.”
When a man reaches for the sub-contract to justify the deal, he is protecting whoever sits beneath the consortium and earns the percentage.
You told us where to look.
Here is the technical truth beneath the legal language: when you write the revenue model a fixed percentage, a named “Data Exchange Component,” a specific architecture into a regulation, you have not run a procurement.
Any of us who has sat on the other side of a Microsoft or Oracle negotiation knows exactly what a vendor lock written into law looks like and this is it, only worse, because the customer here cannot walk away.
Every Kenyan is the captive user.
I will grant you the one thing you are right about.
UHC cannot run on paper, and digitisation is not the enemy I would be the last man to argue it.
But that is not the fight, and you know it.
The fight is whether a public health system, once built with public money, should carry a private, volume-linked toll written into the law itself, and whether the hand collecting it earned that place on merit or was simply named in advance.
You closed by saying every shilling under Taifa Care belongs to the Kenyan patient.
You wrote that one paragraph after explaining the two per cent that does not.
Yours, in candour,
Njoroge from Kingeero.
Another life lost in police custody. Another family left with questions. Another silence where there should be accountability.
The death of a boda boda rider from Mathare after detention at Muthaiga Police Station is not an isolated tragedy, it echoes the unresolved shadow of Albert Ojwang’s death. How many more names must we turn into hashtags before we confront the truth?
Police cells must never become waiting rooms for death. They are spaces of lawful custody, not unrecorded endings. When the State takes a citizen into its hands, it assumes a duty of care, not a license for cruelty, neglect or disappearance.
This is how impunity becomes culture, not in loud moments, but in repeated silence. And we must refuse to normalise it. It also strikes at the heart of the rule of law, undermining the constitutional guarantee under Article 50 that every person is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Justice must not be begged for. It must be demanded, enforced, and seen.
🚨 FREE JUSTIN KINYUA 🚨
Justin was abducted by hooded gunmen.
Reports say it’s because of something he posted.
As we speak… nobody knows where he is.
Ruto promised to END abductions.
Yet they keep happening.
Enough is enough.
Let's speak up for him

ERIC OTIENO KILLED AT MUTHAIGA POLICE STATION 🛑
His name is Eric Otieno, 20 years old.
Eric was arrested on Saturday night, 2nd August 2026 and detained at Muthaiga Police Station on charges of ' PREPARING TO COMMIT A FELONY.'
On Sunday night at around 11pm, his family was called to pick him at the station.
On arrival, they found him already released and wailing in pain.
The family says that Eric kept on saying, " wamenipiga tumbo. Wamenigongagonga kwa cell."
He was rushed to hospital and declared dead on arrival.
@IPOA_KE , the family of Eric demands justice.
This is another case of Albert Ojwang'.
The charge, ' PREPARING TO COMMIT A FELONY ' is always a fabricated charge.
A street boy from Kisumu was once charged with the same and it took Wakili Bush just ten minutes to free him.
The I.O was unable to explain what kind of a felony he was preparing to commit and no weapon was produced in court.
There's a tendency of police officers arresting innocent people when they are unable to get real culprits.
We demand #JusticeForEricOtieno . #EndPoliceBrutalityKe

Former kitui governor @mamangilu kicks out two MCAs aligned to UDA/Ruto from an harambee function.
Tells them they won't accept their 5k contribution.
Enyewe UDA won't be tolerated anywhere. This is the way to go.
