When this happened, I quietly reached out to try and stop this train wreck and was rebuffed coz we were representing Mutoriah.
Two years later, the FAF0 train has arrived.
Wasanii and agency guys, your squad ARE the worst source of #MusicBiz advice.
Wazi back to code.🙂
The contentification of everything. I feel like a boomer for disliking it so much.
Schools are creating content with people's young children. I don't like it at all at all
My heart goes out to those affected and still confused about what immigration laws to follow after yesterday’s deadline. Here is the legal position to help you plan.
If you are a foreign national from an East African Community (EAC) country and intend to reside in Kenya while doing business, trade or working, you can regularise your stay by applying for a Class R Permit.
Go to the Kenya eFNS portal on eCitizen and search for a ‘Class R’ Permit, available to EAC nationals who intend to reside in Kenya and earn a living.
This includes nationals of Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and South Sudan. Somalia is also an EAC Partner State.
The Class R Permit itself is FREE. Meaning, the processing fee and the issuance fee are both 0 (zero).
EAC nationals residing long-term must still fulfil standard Foreign National Registration requirements, such as the annual Alien Card fee, which is separate from the gratis Class R Permit.
Here is what you require:
You will need relevant supporting documents, including a valid passport and documents relating to your business or activity. Requirements may vary by sector. Small-scale traders may also be required to provide a Kenyan police clearance certificate where applicable.
Application Process:
Start online through the eFNS portal on eCitizen.
Where physical submission is required, print your forms and supporting documents and submit them at Immigration Headquarters or designated regional Immigration offices.
It is very important to note that not every EAC national visiting Kenya automatically needs a Class R Permit. EAC citizens enjoy general movement rights under the EAC Common Market framework, but those intending to reside, work, or run a business must ensure they hold the appropriate legal status.
Please share this information widely to assist EAC nationals in regularising their stay and businesses safely.

The Finance Act 2026 has moved the deadline for filing individual income tax returns from June 30 to April 30, beginning January 1, 2027. The change affects both individual taxpayers and self‑employed persons. Taxpayers are advised to adjust their filing calendars accordingly.
Kenya’s stock market is about to get more interesting.
The Capital Markets Authority has approved FourFront Management Limited, part of Standard Investment Bank, to live-test a short-selling platform in Kenya.
So, what does that actually mean?
For years, most investors at the NSE have largely made money in one direction: you buy a share, wait for the price to rise, then sell at a profit.
Short selling introduces another possibility — making money when you believe a share price is going to fall.
In simple terms, an investor can borrow shares, sell them at the current market price, then buy them back later if the price drops. The shares are returned to the lender, and the difference, after costs, becomes the investor’s profit.
Of course, it also comes with serious risk. If the share price rises instead of falling, the trader can lose money.
FourFront Management, working with the Central Depository & Settlement Corporation, started a six-month pilot of its Securities Lending and Borrowing platform on August 1, 2026, under the oversight of @CMAKenya and @cdsckenya.
Why does this matter?
Because it could make Kenya’s capital markets deeper and more sophisticated. Short selling can improve liquidity, increase trading activity, support better price discovery and give professional investors more ways to manage risk.
As @DonaldWangunyu, CEO of @FourFrontMgt and Executive Director at Standard Investment Bank, puts it:
“We didn’t just build another investment product. We’re helping build a new way to trade the Kenyan stock market, including the ability to profit when share prices fall.”
For an ordinary Kenyan investor, the bigger story is this: the NSE is slowly moving away from a market where you simply buy and wait, towards one with more advanced trading tools and strategies.
A new way to trade.
A new chapter for Kenya’s capital markets. @investwithSIB@sokodirectory

Treasury bonds are a great asset for financial planning.
You can pay rent, earn a monthly income or settle any monthly expense from the returns of Treasury bonds.
Through bond laddering you can have a bond that pays passive income each and every month.
Here's the breakdown👇👇
Sifuna was right. We have a software problem. I have looked at the conversation on university education and all I see is people who think of life ONLY in terms of money and opportunities to make money. I am sorry but we have grown to be a reflection of the leaders we despise.

That "practical skills" nonsense that we repeat is destroying our young people. My students struggle with the idea of working at something without seeing immediate results. They hop from course to course, seek immediate returns, never master one skill, especially if there are no immediate rewards. When you look at life like that, addiction is only a step away because the results of addiction are "practical." You drink, you get high. It's practical work, when you think of it.
So if you are a parent of young children reading this, wash that "practical skills" nonsense out of your mouth. Teach your child longevity. Skill improves with work over time. Children have to learn to work without immediate consumer rewards. The skill is also a material reward.
Nothing replaces the consistency of work. Nothing. If you don't believe me, follow Prof Marandi's podcast on how Iran was able to stand up to the US. The years of commitment to actual knowledge and work, not cheap accolades, comes with rewards. One of those rewards is philosophical clarity, which we Kenyans were trained by the British and the Americans to hate. And now our children are paying the price.
If you care, teach your children through work, but also through stories. Tell you child stories of experts and skilled people and their accomplishments. That means that you also must also do the work. Dust off those books you swore never to visit again, and start learning about scientists, artists, writers, architects, engineers .... people who did real work over decades. Tell those stories to your children. Stop reading motivational books and this surge of autobiographies hitting the market. Or read @jnyairo on Substack to get a good critical perspective of these autobiographies now flooding the market.
There is no shortcut to thinking. No AI app can spare you that work. And CBC has to go. It has to. The fundamental problem isn't the content. It's the political philosophy. The content is bonga points. And anyway, the mental problems reinforced by CBC have already started showing up. CBC is going to give our children mental complexes which Kenyan psychologists will not be able to resolve, given that they are also so clueless about the system. But to avoid getting there, teach your child to work, and tell them histories of those who did.

Kenya’s Ksh 12.8 Trillion debt trap cannot be ignored.71% of our revenues go directly 2 debt servicing,to pay off loans that Kenyans never saw or approved.ANY loan that BYPASSED Parliament is #odiousdebt.If it didn't benefit the people,the people shouldn't pay it back #DeniBandia
HISTORIC VICTORY. HIGH COURT DECLARES THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT ON LAND JUSTICE IN KENYA.
In my petition, Okiya Omtatah Okoiti v Attorney General & Others, the High Court has declared unconstitutional the provisions of the National Land Commission Act that imposed time limits on the Commission’s constitutional mandate to review grants of public land and investigate historical land injustices.
The Court affirmed a simple but powerful principle. Parliament cannot diminish or extinguish powers that the Constitution has vested in an independent constitutional commission. Justice delayed cannot become justice denied through legislative deadlines.
This judgment restores hope to thousands of Kenyans and communities who were locked out of justice by arbitrary statutory time bars. The constitutional path to redress for historical land injustices remains open.
The Constitution has prevailed. Land justice has no expiry date.
