Kenya borrowed Sh984 billion in the 2025/26 financial year, with Sh207 billion used to fund recurrent spending instead of development.
This means more than Sh1 in every Sh5 borrowed went to salaries, debt and other recurrent expenses.
I never imagined I'd be the one asking for help.
I've spent my life on the other side checking pulses, holding hands, telling patients "you'll be okay." Today, I'm the one who needs to hear that.
This is Day One of appealing to my 30 Followers,online community and well-wishers to help me raise the Sh6 million needed for my kidney transplant.

A president in kenya can earn roughly over 100 million in a 5 year term. Why would a person be allowed to spend 6 billion just to earn around slightly over 1.5 % of that in return

Political parties — Sh24 billion
County contests — Sh29 million to Sh181 million
National Assembly contests — separate limits for each constituency
County Assembly contests — separate limits for each ward
And now a dose of Presidential Wisdom..
I would have taken Morara Kebaso much more seriously had he joined Edwin Sifuna in the broader quest for constitutional governance and genuine reform.
Of course, I have no right to choose a political party for him, that is entirely his decision.
But from where I stand, uniting around principled leadership would have sent a far more powerful message than pursuing separate political paths.
Kenyan entertainer DJ Macdee has successfully tracked down and recovered his stolen Ksh 280,000 Pioneer DJM-S11 mixer, only to be hit with a shocking twist involving the police.
The high-end equipment was broken into and stolen from his car on July 7th. After spotting it being advertised online a month later, Macdee partnered with officers from the Mugutha Police Station to launch a sting operation. The trail led them to arrest a suspect, DJ Mkenia, who ultimately escorted the team to a residence in Parklands owned by Shah Ashish. Inside the house, the mixer was recovered alongside a massive stash of other suspected stolen electronic goods, including TVs, speakers, and generators.
However, the breakthrough has been marred by controversy. DJ Macdee discovered that the primary suspect, Shah Ashish, was mysteriously released on cash bail by the Mugutha OCS at midnight without his knowledge. The DJ is now publicly calling on the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to ensure transparency and answers as to why a key suspect was released in the dead of night.

Hajji Omar: Hosting 27,000 private security guards at State House, at roughly KSh 10,000 each, totaling over KSh 270 million, highlights a troubling priority shift, especially when you factor in additional hospitality costs. At a time when citizens are struggling, teachers remain unpaid, and essential sectors like education and healthcare need funding, this kind of spending suggests the government hasn’t learned from past warning signs like Ol Kalou. The real question is whether public resources should go into facilitating such large-scale visits, or be redirected to address the everyday needs of Kenyans #CitizenDayBreak
