[The People’s President @bonifacemwangi]

Last October, my niece was raped on her way home at around 9;00pm. After those two beasts were done violating her, they forced her to send money to an M-Pesa till.

My sister called me crying in the middle of the night and I called Usikimye Founder, Njeri Wa Migwi, because I didn't know what to do. My niece received the medical help she needed, and the matter was reported to the Theta Police Station in Juja Constituency. She was given an OB, number 07/09/10/2025.

My niece went to follow up with the police but they didn’t even bother to write a statement. They didn’t even visit the scene. I paid a visit to the station with a lawyer @fatumabdulkadir, my wife @njerikan, and a friend, @JulianiKenya and spoke to the OCS. Our presence forced the Officer Commanding the Police Station to assign an officer to her case.

My niece wrote her statement and we drove the police to the site. The lady assigned to the case was Inspector MWW. I kept in touch with her every other day for months while following up on the case. The wheels of justice in Kenya grind slowly or sometimes never even start. As a good police officer, she filed a miscellaneous application in court to find out who owned the M-Pesa number to which my niece sent the money.

The application went through, but before the inspector could identify the perpetrators in January, she was arrested by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, Serious Crime Unit. The same DCI unit that has been harassing me and arresting me on trumped-up charges. I have been under state surveillance for a long time, ironically for being a good citizen advocating for a better Kenya.

My repeated calls to a police inspector were flagged by the National Intelligence Service, which handed over the call logs to the DCI to obtain a search warrant against her. She was arrested, her phone and laptop confiscated and taken to DCI. She gave my phone number to her family, and they called me. They told me she was questioned and accused of helping me plan protests. Inspector MWW was accused by the DCI of planning to mobilize members of the public to demonstrate and cause mayhem in the Ruiru area. Specifically, she was suspected of offences including preparation to commit a felony, malicious damage to property and assault causing actual bodily harm. The case also involved unauthorised interference with computer systems, with allegations that she used WhatsApp chats, text messages, and other digital communications to orchestrate or coordinate actions that posed a risk to public peace, stability, and safety. Her HP Compaq laptop and dual-SIM smartphone were seized for forensic analysis to gather evidence related to these alleged activities.

I called Advocate Ian Mutiso, who went to see her at DCI and was ready to help. She declined legal assistance connected to me, fearing that accepting it could be interpreted as evidence of an association. She cut off all communications with me to protect her job and decidednot to follow up on my niece’s rape case. The last time I checked on her through her family, her gadgets were yet to be returned to her. After her arrest, even the officers at the police station refused to investigate the case.

Then another assault and attempted rape happened. Same place. Same people, according to the description given by the second victim. This time, the rapist sent the money to himself, not another number, and took the victim’s phone. The victim could see her phone’s location somewhere in Juja. The victim’s OB number is 02/03/03/2026.

If the police had arrested the perpetrators instead of the investigator, the second rape wouldn’t have happened, and many other crimes. Every year since this government came to power, the National Intelligence Service (NIS) has continued to grow. Their budget is Ksh 51.4 billion, while the Judiciary’s is about half that, at Ksh 27.8 billion. The judiciary has over 250 court stations and tribunals across the country. They have more employees, a pending caseload of approximately 600,000 cases, and justice to deliver to millions of Kenyans, but it’s the spying agency that has a bigger budget.

The NIS does important work to protect Kenyans, but it also has units that are assigned to abduct active citizens. They have killer squads who will show up in protests masked, and shoot unarmed citizens. The same budget for NIS is where the president can call and send Noordin or his minions to deliver a briefcase containing millions of shillings to a politician or someone the president wants to bribe, so they can be silenced or persuaded to support him. They collect dirt, blackmail, and bribe people to support an unpopular president whose only legacy is abducting and killing young people. increased debt, and defunding education.

Let this regime be a lesson to all of us. Never vote for people who are accused of beating women, raping women, murdering and committing crimes against humanity. When you vote for such people, they will not care about the safety of women and children, they will prioritise house repairs over health, handouts instead of funding education, and if you dare protest, they will send police to shoot you. The pain and depression in the lives of Kenyans are a result of voting for someone who showed us his true colours, and we still elected him.

Tomorrow, my family and I will join the women’s march in Nairobi to protest against femicide, gender-based violence and the children who have been kidnapped or killed. I will be in the streets for my niece, and every woman and child whose life has been violated and ruined by this regime.

Ps: I have attached the search warrant and photos of the OB numbers in the thread.

This fuel increase is economic terrorism against Kenyans.

Petrol is up, Diesel is up. Transport will go up, food will go up, power backups will become more expensive, and every small business will be squeezed again.

You cannot keep looting, overtaxing and mismanaging a country, then punish citizens at the pump and call it regulation.

[Faith Odhiambo @FaithOdhiambo8]

The Finance Bill, 2026 was published on 30th April and is now before Parliament and every Kenyan deserves to know what is in it.

The government targets Ksh3.63 trillion in revenue for 2026/27 and a wider budget deficit of 5.3% of GDP in the 2026/27 fiscal year (July-June) up from 4.7% in 2025/26. These are not unreasonable fiscal objectives but the manner in which the burden of achieving them is distributed is a cause for serious concern.

On tax filing timelines, the Bill moves the income tax return deadline to April 30th which is two months earlier than the current June 30th and compresses nil return filing to January 31st. This reduces the time available for audit completion, cash flow planning and compliance. For small businesses and individual traders, this is not administrative reform. It is an additional compliance cost they can ill afford.

On mitumba, the Bill inserts a new Section 12H into the Income Tax Act which deems profit at 5% of customs value payable upfront before goods are released by KRA as a final tax. A trader importing a bale worth Ksh1 million pays Ksh50,000 regardless of whether they make a profit or a loss. I cannot in good conscience describe this as equitable.

 The Bill increases residential rental income tax from 7.5% to 10%. Absent a serious enforcement framework, this will drive non-compliance rather than revenue. The government must fix the enforcement gap before it increases the rate. One without the other is burden-shifting.

On digital financial services, the Bill removes existing VAT exemptions on money transfers and payment processing. These are the tools of financial inclusion that millions of Kenyans including the very people this government says it wants to reach rely on daily. Making them more expensive will not serve the objective of a broader tax base.

 By including interchange and merchant service fees within the definition of management or professional fees for withholding tax purposes, the Bill introduces a compliance burden into automated banking processes. That burden will be passed on to businesses and ultimately to consumers.

The amendment to Section 24 of the Income Tax Act empowers KRA to deem at least 60% of a company's undistributed income as dividends for tax purposes. This fails to account for legitimate decisions on reinvestment, working capital and business growth. It is a retrogressive measure that sends the wrong signal to the investors Kenya needs.

A 25% excise duty on telephones for cellular and wireless networks is proposed. A phone is not a luxury. It is how Kenyans bank, communicate, conduct business and access government services. Parliament must interrogate this carefully.

On PAYE, Kenyans were led to expect relief and a restructuring of the tax bands to ease the burden on salaried workers. That proposal does not appear in this Bill. That is not a minor omission. An explanation is owed to every employed Kenyan who was waiting for it.

To be fair, the Bill is not without merit. The reduction of corporate tax for non-resident companies from 37.5% to 30% improves our investment climate. The extension of the tax amnesty to cover liabilities up to 31st December 2025 provides a genuine and welcome pathway to compliance. VAT exemptions on electric buses, bicycles, dialysers, animal feed raw materials and PPP infrastructure are sensible measures. The clarity introduced on trust taxation ensuring beneficiaries are not taxed on income already taxed at the trust level and the recognition of gratuity contributions as exempt income are also steps in the right direction.

Be that as it may, we cannot afford a repeat of June 2024. Parliament must discharge its oversight role with the seriousness this moment demands. They should not merely rubber-stamp what the Treasury has placed before it. Every clause must be scrutinised. Every punitive or ambiguous provision must be rejected or amended.

[Okiya Omtatah Okoiti @OkiyaOmtatah]

Harry Truman once said: “The only thing new in the world is the history you do not know.”

Fellow Kenyans, our crisis did not begin yesterday.

The looting. The illegal debt. The betrayal of the Constitution. The collapse of public services. The silence of career politicians. These are old scripts repeated by leaders who believe Kenyans forget quickly.

They believe another scandal will trend. Another distraction will come. Another funeral, another handshake, another coalition, another slogan.

Meanwhile, you pay more taxes for debts you never approved and never benefited from.

Between 2014 and 2024, Kenya borrowed Sh9.11 trillion. Only Sh2.57 trillion received proper parliamentary approval. The remaining Sh6.54 trillion is odious debt, unconstitutional borrowing forced onto the backs of struggling citizens.

This is why food prices rise while wages stagnate. This is why hospitals lack medicine while billions disappear. This is why schools decline while politicians grow richer. This is why young people graduate into hopelessness.

And while Kenya bleeds, legacy politicians remain silent. Many are not fighting to fix the system. They are fighting to inherit it.

They criminalize protesters. They weaponize police. They reward political loyalists with advisory jobs funded by taxpayers. They protect corruption networks while ordinary Kenyans suffer.

We go to court because the Constitution is the last line of defense between the people and organized state plunder.

From the struggle for independence in 1963, to Saba Saba, to the 2010 Constitution, every generation of Kenyans has been called to defend freedom against greed and impunity. History is watching us now.

If we remain silent while our country is looted, future generations will remember us as the people who watched Kenya collapse and did nothing.

Read history. Defend the Constitution. Reject fear. Reject silence. Reject thieves disguised as leaders.

We must be a nation that reads, remembers, and refuses to be misled by the same old tricks. Know your history, defend your rights, and let us not be "newly" surprised by what we should have already learned.

Kenya istahili heshima

[Okiya Omtatah Okoiti @OkiyaOmtatah]

They've engineered the silence because they fear you more than they fear any judge. An informed public is their worst nightmare. So read the filings. Track the hearings. Ask the hard questions. The @IMFAfrica @KeTreasury, @NAssemblyKE, and every pen that signed these loans must answer.

Some politicians waiting in the wings will not speak because they hope to inherit the same broken system. To those seeking office: this is a test of principle. You cannot inherit a system you refuse to question.

We don't need their headlines to know our rights. The Constitution didn't give us a voice to whisper. The front page isn't theirs to give. It's ours to demand. Stay loud. Stay informed. The law is on our side

@EPRA_KE has done it again. Another fuel price hike that hits the poor the hardest.

Fuel drives transport, food, and SMEs. When it rises, everything rises. Matatu fares. Unga. Milk. For millions already below the poverty line, this is not an adjustment. It is a crisis.

You cannot keep passing global shocks to struggling Kenyans while maintaining high taxes and opaque pricing.
Enough is enough. Kenyans demand transparency. We demand fairness. We demand immediate relief.
KK Government should, Subsidize fuel. Reduce VAT and Cut fuel levies immediately.

At some point, we are going to have to publicly vouch for a leader we believe in and for me that person is former Chief Justice David Maraga.

And this is not about who is trending or making the most noise. It’s about what actually makes sense for this country right now.

We are dealing with a system that is broken at the core. Corruption has become normal. Public money disappears with no consequences. Institutions that are supposed to protect us have been captured. And every election cycle, we are given promises that sound good but change nothing.

What stands out to me about Maraga is simple, he is not selling us miracles. He is saying, fix the foundation first!!

~Rule of law.
~Respect the constitution.
~Independent institutions.
~Actual consequences for corruption.

That might not sound exciting, but if we are being honest, that is exactly what Kenya is bleeding from. You cannot fix the economy when money is being stolen. You cannot fix healthcare when systems are looted. You cannot fix education when leadership has no accountability. For once, here is someone saying ,let’s deal with the root.

And we have seen him before. When he was Chief Justice, he made decisions that were not popular, but they were right. He showed that the law can stand above power. That matters!! Because what we are missing in this country is not intelligence, it is integrity.

This does not mean he is perfect. No leader is. And supporting someone does not mean you stop questioning them. In fact, it means you hold them to an even higher standard.

But if we are going to move forward, then we have to stop playing safe. We have to start being honest about the kind of leadership we want.

For me, I choose someone who understands that without accountability, nothing else works.
That is why I am backing David Maraga.

[Lynn Ngugi @lynn_ngugi1]

There’s a big part of me that honestly believes we deserve everything we get from these politicians. Because how do we keep watching the same people mess this country over and over again and still act surprised?

We have a generation that’s too comfortable letting Gen Zs fight for the country while they sit and comment from a distance. How are you in your late 30s, 40s, 50s okay watching your children or younger siblings fight battles for problems you helped create? You voted for thieves, defended them, campaigned for them, and when they get back in office you act like victims.

Look at what’s happening right now. Our lecturers are on strike. Students are stranded. Campuses are falling apart. But a whole CS is in another country praising their universities and lecturers as if ours don’t exist. How disconnected can you be?

Our healthcare system is collapsing. Hospitals have no medicine, doctors and nurses are exhausted and underpaid. When these politicians fall sick or want to give birth, they fly out for treatment instead of fixing the same hospitals they destroyed. They go to countries whose hospitals were built by LEADERS who cared about their people.

We have MPs passing harmful laws that directly affect the same people who voted for them. They show up, collect allowances, and disappear until the next campaign season. And still, we say “tutawafundisha lesson next election.” How many lessons have we taught so far?

Then there’s the Kenyan middle class. The most delusional ones, the ones who think national issues don’t concern them. As long as they have Wi-Fi, their kids are in private schools, and they can drive to work, everything else is “noise.” They don’t realize that the same system they ignore will come for them too :when taxes rise, when school fees double, when the economy finally collapses and insecurity rises due to lack of jobs for the “common” mwananchi…

We can’t keep outsourcing courage from Gen Z. Every generation that stays silent makes it worse for the next one. This habit of saying “minding my own business” is why nothing changes. Because those who created the mess never stay to clean it up.

And before we complain again, here’s the truth we actually have power, we just don’t use it.
We can recall MPs who betray the people, but we never do!! That’s why they’re comfortable saying they want to copy this and this from China coz they know you guys aint shit.. We can demand accountability, but we don’t..We can organize locally, but we wait for someone else to start

If we were serious, we’d start showing up for public meetings, asking questions, and refusing to clap for politicians who don’t deliver. We’d rebuild civic awareness and stop acting like politics ends at voting. We’d stand with those who are fighting instead of mocking them. And we’d vote with memory , not tribe, not token, not empty promises.

Because if nothing changes, one day your child will ask you what you did when this country was falling apart and silence won’t be a good enough answer.

For me, I will continue using my platforms no matter what 🚶🏾‍♀️🚶🏾‍♀️
