The debate is being framed incorrectly.

The issue is not the existence of CCTV cameras in school dormitory hallways. Surveillance in common areas is a standard safety measure in many boarding institutions and is often intended to enhance student security, emergency response, and accountability. Hallways are not private spaces.

The fundamental question is this: Why are students sleeping in hallways in the first place?

If learners are occupying corridors designed for movement and emergency evacuation, then the discussion should focus on overcrowding, inadequate infrastructure, student welfare, and compliance with minimum boarding standards.

A corridor is not a dormitory. It is not a sleeping area. The presence of students sleeping there points to a deeper institutional and policy failure that cannot be obscured by arguments about cameras.

Public attention should be directed toward capacity management, dormitory standards, and the conditions under which students are being accommodated. When a school reaches the point where hallways become sleeping quarters, the problem is not surveillance, it is overcrowding.

That is the issue that demands answers.

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?

[Julians Amboko @AmbokoJH]

Should the taxpayer still bear the burden of proof in instances where a tax dispute with the Revenue Authority is based in pre-populated & third party data?

In my submission before the National Assembly's Finance & Planning Committee on behalf of the Tax Research Centre at @StrathU, I argue that Finance Bill 2026's proposals seeking to anchor Incomes & Expenses Validation in law will be incomplete if they do not include a proposal for the the Revenue Authority being saddled with the burden of proof in such instances.

Here's why:

· Finance Bill 2026 proposes to amend Sec75 of the Tax Procedures Act to provide that the Revenue Authority may use technology to pre-populate tax returns on behalf of a person required to submit or lodge a tax return

· Finance Bill 2026 further proposes that a person required to submit or lodge a tax return may rely on pre-populated return generated by the Revenue Authority to file their return

· Finance Bill 2026 proposes to amend Sec112 to provide that the Cabinet Secretary of the National Treasury may make Regulations for the procedure for the submission or lodging of returns based on pre-populated tax returns generated by the Revenue Authority

Here's where the problem is:

· In all this, Sec56(1) which provides that "In any proceedings, the burden shall be on the taxpayer to prove that a tax decision is incorrect" remains unchanged

· Sec56(1) is predicated on the fact that Kenya has been running on a self-assessment based regime & the data upon which tax disputes emerges was held by the taxpayer

· With Incomes & Expenses Validation & the onset of a Dual Assessment regime in Kenya, taxpayers are now exposed not just to errors of judgement & data on their part, but also errors of technology & transmission which are out of their control

· Can we really still have the burden of proof lying exclusively with the taxpayer in an environment where tax compliance has shifted from a function of record keeping to one where system integration reliability is now a key factor?

🚨arsène wenger on arsenal winning the title

🗣️ “in my era, we came second three times in a row, 1998–1999, 1999–2000, and 2000–2001. at some point it felt like we were collecting silver medals like a subscription service nobody signed up for.

mikel arteta went through that phase too, three times, and people don’t realise how heavy that is on a team. it’s like finishing a whole season of work and football says ‘try again, but enjoy your weekend.’

when i saw mikel arteta building this team, i told him before the season started, you are going to win the premier league. he looked at me like i had just predicted rain in london, but i was calm.

i have seen this movie before. same tension, same hope, same stress eating, different cast.

football has a strange sense of humour. it breaks your heart, then acts surprised when you finally learn the lesson. and this time, it finally made sense.”

To subsidize fuel by Kes 50, we need to abolish 33 counties. I explain below.

I agree Parliament must be recalled from recess.

They’ll have to do some trade offs and some math.

Some data to start us off:

- Kenya annual consumption : consumes roughly 6–7 billion litres of petroleum products annually (petrol + diesel + kerosene combined).
- Monthly this is 500–600 million litres

Now let’s see what people are asking for in subsidy.

If government subsidized fuel by KSh 50 per litre, the monthly cost would be approximately 50* 500m or 50*600m

This is KSh 25–30 billion per month

[KSh 300–360 billion per year]

What does this mean?

- 72% -86% of county Counties (Equitable Share)
- 51% of Kenya’s entire education budget.
- 2–2.6 times the entire national health budget
- CDF will have been dropped 5X over
-21X statehouse budget
-13X judiciary budget
-7.2X parliament budget

When you hear people mention KSh 50 fuel subsidy as a small measure - it is not a “small relief measure.”

We are in a difficult moment.
And we must remember this in our pursuit for political relevance.

I wish parliament the best. BUT they should definately be recalled from recess.

For once you miss Baba @RailaOdinga. He would know that on a time like this, Jenya is facing a much bigger problem than anything ever in its history.

The only thing rotting at the bottom of the sea is American credibility.
Our Navy still sails.
Our missiles still strike.
Our will is forged iron.
Because you obliterated the Iranian Navy, you still don’t dare send your bloated, puffed-up flotilla into the Strait of Hormuz?

Keep tweeting those desperate White House fairy tales, Donny. Reality is carved into the burning wreckage of your failed aggression.
Iran stands unbroken.
The louder the lies, the clearer the cowardice.
You don’t break nations with geriatric bluster.
The future belongs to those who endure — not a washed-up con man raging from his golden toilet.

DNA is scary. There's a case of a woman who had a baby with her husband, but when he got a DNA test, it turned out he wasn't the father. She insisted that he was the father, so they repeated the test several times, but it kept giving the same result.

Later on, he discovered that according to the DNA results, he wasn't the baby's father but its uncle, which didn't make sense because he was an only child.

After more exhaustive tests, they discovered that the husband was actually a chimera, which means he had absorbed his twin in the uterus and carried two sets of DNA. So basically the baby was biologically the child of his twin brother, even though he was the father.

It is moral to offer help where needed.

Kenya Power says it is deducting up to 50% of tokens to recover last-mile connection debt.

So a Sh500 token can leave only about Sh250 for actual units.

[Peter Munene @peternjega7]

@muriaso Don't know if this helps but you don't need to actually buy the token yourself, just ask for the meter number and check previous tokens here.
