Sh17 billion on travel while 189 capital projects stall? Governors have no shame. This is why I keep saying devolution must be held accountable, not just celebrated. Kenyans pay taxes for development, not trips 🇰🇪
County governments left over Sh100 billion unspent in FY 2025/26, driven by a low 54% development budget absorption (Sh127 billion spent out of Sh234 billion).
The breakdown tells a concerning story:
• 189 capital projects worth Sh11 billion sit stalled
• County pending bills hit Sh172 billion
• Domestic & international travel consumed Sh17 billion.
Newly recognised members of the Pemba community are among the beneficiaries receiving title deeds in Kwale. Formal land ownership can strengthen security of tenure while supporting families to invest in their properties. 26k titles Issued #KwaleFocus
@mugaa_eric Critics will never talk about this 🇰🇪 Sewerage works reassigned, contractor mobilized back to site, and space freed for Gakoromone Market as promised by President Ruto. Delivery over noise.
@ray_omollo A hospital stalled for 4 years until President Ruto personally intervened. That is leadership. 350 beds, oncology, renal services and 5,000 jobs for Kakamega. Western Kenya was ignored for decades, not anymore 🇰🇪
@bongo_context@Ayieko__@KillaLando You are right, it is Bantu heritage, not Swahili spread. But that shared root is the deeper bond. Kaunda's Zambia gave our liberation movements a home while the EAC was still paperwork. One family, artificial borders.
@JosephMasta2@WilliamsRuto Taita Taveta is not forgotten. The President shares wealth to all Kenyans, from the Coast to the Rift Valley. This is leadership beyond tribe. Kenyans in Voi came out in full force because they know development is reaching them 🇰🇪
Identity unites us but voting is a sovereign act. A Maasai from Tanzania is our brother, not our voter. The Royal Empire of Kenya will one day make this debate unnecessary. 🇰🇪
Just as family bonds cannot be erased by legalities, a Maasai from Tanzania is equally Kenyan. Colonial borders may divide us, but our identity unites us.
President Ruto was on the world stage fighting for Africa's seat at the table, but local TV showed Mexican soaps. Then live airtime for an impeached DP spreading rumours. The colonial playbook: silence our leaders, amplify their distractors.
MEDIA PRIORITIES ARE QUESTIONABLE
When President Ruto is addressing the UN, our screens have Mexican soaps. But when an impeached former DP is spreading rumours, he gets live national TV coverage.
We pay premium prices for the loans we desperately need because of who we are. That is the racism Guterres should fight. Does he have the courage to tell the IMF and World Bank that? I doubt it.
@PeopleDailyKe Communication failure? No. The Finance Bill was about paying debts the IMF and World Bank engineered. The 2024 protests were young Kenyans saying enough to decades of sacrifice for foreign creditors. That is the real story.
@PeopleDailyKe Babu proposing development now? Where was this vision when his coalition looted public funds for personal gains? Kenya moves forward under Ruto, not slogans 🇰🇪
@Ayieko__@KillaLando I will listen. Kaunda's Zambia embraced Swahili while our own bloc was still paperwork. Their music is the real East Africa, not the artificial one.
@KillaLando This is Kenya 🇰🇪 I have always said our geothermal is a competitive advantage; add nuclear baseload from Siaya and Kenyan earth powers Kenyan industry. Lobby and plan right, and no lecture or NGO takes this from us.
@EAMGtv@ATAFtax@rrainfo@AmEugeneAnangwe Why do we still beg the IMF when our own tax administrations can fund our budgets? ATAF helping African countries collect their own revenue is real sovereignty.
Question for the young people joining: what does this movement offer on jobs for the 75% under 35, debt or industrialization? Kenya needs builders united under one black nation, not splinter parties built around one man's ambitions. This is Kenya 🇰🇪
@the_sambu The same police who are quick to teargas young hustlers cannot follow simple court orders? Respect the constitution first before demanding respect from citizens.
Mombasa Port exports rose to a record 517,131 tonnes in July 2026, the highest monthly figure in available records, as total port throughput increased 13.4% YoY to 4.23Mn tonnes.
Containerised exports accounted for 511,545 tonnes, while dry-bulk imports surged 87.9% YoY to a record 1.03Mn tonnes, helping lift total imports 18.9% to 3.53Mn tonnes.
Transhipment, however, fell 60.5% YoY to 159,101 tonnes, partly offsetting the gains.
The July performance extends momentum from 2025, when Mombasa handled a record 45.45Mn tonnes, 2.11Mn TEUs and 15.88Mn tonnes of transit cargo.
KPA also commissioned a KSh 1Bn vessel traffic management system in July as it pushes faster vessel turnaround and more efficient marine operations.
