@paulinenjoroge Rasna once said,

[D I K E M B E @Disembe]

Jubilee Party has a candidate in Ol Kalou.

Jubilee Party has a Presidential candidate who is also the Deputy Party Leader.

Jubilee Party Presidential Candidate and Deputy Party Leader cannot campaign in Ol Kalou.

As the party candidate struggles with no party backing, Jubilee Party top officials are everywhere except in Ol Kalou.

Jubilee Party candidate in Ol Kalou is receiving the same treatment Raila Odinga received from that party.

Jubilee is a con party whose current leadership are the same characters who sabotaged Raila’s 2022 polls to Election Day.

Jubilee Party Leader, Former President Uhuru Kenyatta, has not spoken with the party’s candidate.

The organizing Secretary of Jubilee is Pauline Njoroge, throat-deep in Linda Mwananchi and hasn’t posted anything on the party’s candidate.

There’s no ‘Linda Mwananchi’ candidate in Ol Kalou.

George Akerlof turned 86 last week. His seminal "Market for Lemons" paper introduced asymmetric information, proving that when sellers know more than buyers, quality degrades and markets can collapse. A great memory from our dinner in Mexico to discuss New Structural Economics!

🔵 for IMMEDIATE RELEASE

[Katiba Institute @katibainstitute]

Katiba Institute Files a Petition Challenging the Proposed Establishment of Ebola Quarantine and Treatment Facilities in Kenya:

Katiba Institute is challenging the proposed establishment of a quarantine facility for American citizens exposed to Ebola and other highly infectious diseases in Kenya. The petition, through Counsel @joshuamalidzo, has been filed under a certificate of urgency. It is brought against the Attorney-General, (1st Respondent) and the Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Health (2nd Respondent).

To ensure transparency, accountability, and court oversight before a final determination is made, KI is asking the Court to urgently:

Halt Facility Operations: Restrain the Respondents from establishing, operationalising, or approving any Ebola quarantine or treatment facility in Kenya under any arrangement with the United States or other foreign governments, pending the hearing and determination of the matter.

Prevent Entry of Exposed Persons: Bar the Respondents and their agents from receiving, transferring, or facilitating the entry into Kenya of any individuals exposed or infected with Ebola under the impugned arrangement.

Compel Contingency Planning: Require the Cabinet Secretary for Health to prepare and present to the Court, within 24 hours, a comprehensive contingency plan detailing Kenya’s preparedness measures for the prevention, surveillance, control, and response to any potential Ebola outbreak.

Mandate Full Disclosure: Compel the Respondents to disclose to KI and the public the full terms for any arrangements or negotiations regarding the proposed facility. This includes all related public health, environmental, biosafety, or security assessments; regulatory and parliamentary approvals; and the specific protocols for the admission and treatment of exposed persons.

The case affirms that even in matters of diplomacy and public health, the Constitution remains supreme and binding on all State organs. The secretive, unilateral establishment of an Ebola quarantine facility raises grave constitutional concerns regarding the rights to life, health, fair administrative action, public participation, and parliamentary oversight.

“KI is asking the Court to determine whether the Executive can expose the public to such significant risks without complying with constitutional safeguards. At its core, the case is about preserving constitutional accountability, protecting public health, and ensuring that no government may place expediency above the lives and safety of the people of Kenya.”

- @NoraMbagathi , Executive Director, Katiba Institute.

What Julians has submitted is extremely critical. Extremely.

Right now:
• You partly tell KRA what you earned
• You tell KRA what tax you owe

If finance Bill 2026 passes,

It is KRA that will strictly tell YOU:
• What you earned
• What tax you owe

How?
• By pulling data from anywhere
• eTIMS, banks, third parties, govt ministries integrations, etc

If KRA sends you a tax bill. And it is insane. And you disagree. Who must prove it is wrong?

The bill says it is you.

But here is the danger. KRA is NOT required to tell you:
• Where they got the data from
• Or how they arrived at the figures

So you are left there. Trying to fight numbers you cannot see.

And some of those numbers could be system errors.

Now ask yourself,
- How do you disprove something you don’t even understand? Are you an angel?

What Julians is saying is simple.

If KRA wants to tax you using their data, KRA must prove to you and the courts that that data is:
• Accurate
• Reliable &
• Defensible

Is that a fair argument?
Or should taxpayers just fight ghosts?

🚨 🗣️ :Gerard Piqué: “One of Manchester United’s biggest problems is their former players. Instead of supporting the team, many of them spend too much time criticising the club, the manager, and the current players.

It almost feels like they don’t want Manchester United to rise again because they fear this new generation could overshadow what they achieved at the club. 💣🔴

At other big clubs, legends protect the team during difficult moments, but with United, it’s always criticism, negativity, and pressure. Sometimes, you start to wonder if some of them are part of the problem rather than the solution.”🥺💔

The Finance Bill 2026 is not paperwork. It is a direct raid on pay slips, rent, phones, land, business profits, imports and daily survival. Every Kenyan must read it before it becomes law, because silence now may become pain later.

Thread 🧵

[The Elephant @theelephantinfo]

Fanon emphasises the importance of education, not merely for the masses, but also for leaders. He insists that political leadership must be educable, and that educators themselves must be open to being transformed in the process (Fanon [1961] 2004, 138). These passages offer a compelling, poetic glimpse into the emancipatory possibilities of a socialist future grounded in collective labour, accountability, and mutual education.

[Julians Amboko @AmbokoJH]

Two big salient issues emerging around Finance Bill 2026:

· The interpretation of the proposal on Value Added Tax as relates to the issue, transfer, receipt or any other dealing with money including money transfer services
· The proposal around the broadened definition of management fees, professional fees & royalties

Musings:

· The National Treasury argues that as far as Value Added Tax on issue, transfer, receipt or any other dealing with money including money transfer services goes, the intention is not to net Mobile Money (MPesa, Airtel Money, TKash). The problem I have with this claim is that the clause as drafted in Finance Bill 2026 falls far short of this sort of clarity & is really all encompassing. The Director General Budget & Fiscal Affairs says there will be regulations to ensure Mobile Money remains protected

· The CS says that as far as he broadened definition of management fees, professional fees & royalties goes, it is about ensuring that the multinational card companies pay their fair share of tax. The issue he seems to miss that we have international OECD anchored standards around how, for example, royalties are defined & classified. Finance Bill 2026 seeks to deviate from this. Won't Kenya be venturing into a minefield around disputes in cross-border taxation?
