I honestly don’t think we’re ready for this Eastleigh conversation.
Few Observations,.
You buy something in the majority of those shops and they want cash. If you don’t have cash, they have their own MPesa agents they tell you to withdraw from. They then make a quick call to the agent to confirm the withdrawal before releasing your goods.
That way, they never have to explain their cash flow, but you may one day have to explain yours to the taxman.
We’re talking about a multi billion shilling industry with very little transparency, accountability or visibility into how money moves.
And as long as they remain the middlemen, pay zero tax, sell “counterfeit goods” the government is comfortable
But how dare you use the same business model, open your own wholesale operation and bring your own goods through the port?…..
The Members of Parliament who are tweeting about Ebola just like us are offering no solution.
Table an impeachment motion.
William Ruto is committing an act of treason.
IMPEACH WILLIAM RUTO!

Mzee Mutungi Nzioki Ndaisi says that he is currently serving a 15-year prison sentence at Kamiti Medium Prison after being convicted in a defilement case that he claims was fabricated following a disagreement with a local Assistant Chief in Makueni County.
According to Mzee Mutungi, he had lived peacefully for decades as a farmer and businessman earning a living by selling sand and building stones from his land to support his family. He says his problems allegedly began after a newly posted Assistant Chief approached him demanding free building stones, a request he declined because it was his source of income.
He claims the Assistant Chief became angry after the refusal and later worked together with the mother of a 15-year-old girl from the village to falsely accuse him of defilement. Mzee Mutungi alleges that the girl had already been involved with several young men and had become pregnant but instead of identifying the actual person responsible, blame was allegedly shifted to him.
Mzee Mutungi further says that at the time of the alleged incidents, he was already suffering from a serious reproductive health condition and had undergone surgery. He claims doctors had advised him to avoid any intimate relations for a long period as he prepared for another operation.
Despite this, he says he was arrested and charged with defilement. According to him, no DNA test was conducted and no medical examination was carried out on him during investigations. He also claims there were no eyewitnesses linking him to the allegations.
The case was later heard at Kilungu Law Courts where he says he explained his medical condition, age and the alleged grudge connected to the disagreement over the stones business. However, he was convicted in 2020 and sentenced to 15 years imprisonment. His appeal at the High Court in Makueni was later dismissed in 2021.
Now serving his sentence at Kamiti Medium Prison, Mzee Mutungi says he has lost his freedom, dignity, family life and the business he spent years building. He maintains that he is innocent and believes he became a victim of revenge and a failed justice system.
He says he still hopes that one day his case will be reviewed and the truth established.
Can Kenya Judiciary revisit this case and conduct a DNA and if Mzees case was fabricated the Chief should be arrested and prosecuted.
The internet never forgets. Watch this 2021 video carefully. This is Moses Wetang'ula, furious at Uhuru Kenyatta because fuel had reached KSh135. Watch how he asks why fuel was cheaper in Uganda than in Kenya. Today, fuel is at KSh242. What changed?
We must bring to a stop an administration that is burdening wananchi with the high cost of living. Voting for Kenya Kwanza on August 9 means voting for affordable prices of fuel, food, among other basic commodities.
