Four armed men in a Toyota Probox attempt to abduct Standard Group Associate Editor Alex Kiprotich in Nakuru early Saturday, days after President Ruto criticised the media house's news coverage.
Don’t rely on mainstream outlets alone. Support independent voices, citizen journalists, and platforms that choose substance over sensationalism.
Read the court filings, follow the proceedings, and hold everyone, including media houses to account. The Constitution isn't a reserved document; it is the people’s shield.
Let’s defend it together through informed public discourse.
Bwana IG, you swore to uphold the law, not supervise its violation. June 25th protests, Kenyans saw masked officers, plain-clothes operatives, concealed police vehicles, and blocked roads into Nairobi CBD. Was the High Court ruling suspended, or did your command simply ignore it?
Not manufacturing, not innovation. Just rent, rent, rent, and more rent. That's what happens when you become wealth based on access to the state, not work you've done. You can't be creative, innovative or impactful.
The curse of independence.

Guys!! They tortured and dumped our comrades! They are now at Nairobi hospital nursing injuries. Everyone is back except Davis Lichuma from Mathare. We are asking the nation to join us in demanding the immediate release of comade Lichuma!! #FreeLichuma#EndAbductions
In 2024-2025, the entire county of Nairobi spent KSH 1.6 billion on roads and infrastructure in general.
KSH 1.6 billion.
During the same year, it paid one outside lawyer KSH 1.5 billion, for "legal services".
This is, despite the county's county attorney costing citizens KSH 530 million that year. This department has around 110 lawyers in it.
If you want to know what is going on, bite on these additional nuggets:
Quoting the Auditor General:
(1) Several cases involved repeated changes of advocates and in some instances, two law firms represented the County simultaneously resulting in duplication of costs without justification.
(2) Fee notes were inconsistent or missing. Further, notes were often grossly inflated.
(3) Key supporting documents such as court attendance records, pleadings, rulings and case outcomes were not provided to substantiate payments.
(4) Significant payments, including amounts between Kshs.40,000,000 and Kshs.136,000,000 per case, were made without itemized fee notes or supporting court documentation.
(5) Interest payments arose due to delayed settlement of decretal sums and some legal fee payments were misclassified, obscuring true legal liabilities.
Now - consider that this county has 124 MCAs who cost Nairobi KSH 1.8 billion each year.
I am releasing an updated review of Nairobi in the next couple of days.
To follow that, will be 100% of the counties.
You should read this article.
Bob Njagi is being charged with treason, an offence that carries death sentence. He's been detained and allegedly tortured several times in Kenya and Uganda. The gravity of this matter should concern all active citizens of Kenya.
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN.
You asked. You shared. You demanded it.
So we're bringing it back. The Gallery of Ruto's Lies returns for a special re-air today—the Eighth Day.
