‼️Publicly available information:‼️
Pabari Investments Limited (also known as the Pabari Group) is a Kenyan family-owned business and investment firm. The company is run by the Pabari brothers, Rajesh Pabari and Kaushik Pabari, who serve as the key principals and directors of the group.
In this disclosure, Pabari Investment Limited has submitted privately initiated infrastructure bids to the state-owned Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO) to develop strategic electricity grids.
❗️Public records link the principals associated with Pabari Investments Limited—specifically Bhavesh Pabari and related entities (Pabari Group)—to major corporate fraud, financial disputes, and market manipulation.
⚠️Market Manipulation & Fraud:
The company's key figure, Bhavesh Pabari, was sanctioned by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for engaging in fraudulent and unfair trade practices, including synchronized, cross-matched trades designed to artificially inflate the volume and price of securities. The penalty, upheld by the Supreme Court of India in the case Securities and Exchange Board of India v. Bhavesh Pabari, finalized doctrinal questions regarding how severe financial penalties should be calculated.

⚠️Pabari Investments Limited has been linked to major financial scandals and banking fraud, primarily concerning hundreds of millions in unrecovered and improperly disbursed loans.
⚠️The core allegations stem from their dealings with state-linked banks and involve significant economic crimes investigated by anti-corruption authorities.
⚠️The most significant investigations involving the Pabari Group (Pabari Investment Group / Welwyn Co. Ltd.) and allegations of financial misconduct center around:
⚠️⚠️ The SBM Bank Loans: The Pabari Group (led by directors Messrs. Kaushik and Rajesh Pabari) was granted multi-million dollar loans, notably a $27 million facility, by SBM Bank (Mauritius) Ltd without sufficient tangible collateral.
⚠️⚠️ Money Laundering & ICAC Inquiries: These irregular, "toxic" loans became the subject of sweeping probes by the Financial Crimes Commission in Mauritius (formerly known as the Independent Commission Against Corruption, or ICAC) and remain a deeply controversial subject in Mauritian parliamentary inquiries.
⚠️⚠️Recovery Disputes in Kenya: In addition to the Mauritian banking probes, Pabari Investments has faced several legal and debt recovery disputes in Kenya with institutions such as Absa Bank Mauritius Limited, as well as local employment and civil litigation in Nairobi.

PRESS STATEMENT BY SENATOR OKIYA OMTATAH ON THE PUBLIC DEBT CASE RULING
Fellow Kenyans,
Today, the High Court delivered an important ruling in our public debt case.
The Court upheld the @IMFNews claim of diplomatic immunity and struck it out of this petition. While we respect the Court’s decision, accountability for Kenya’s debt burden cannot end there.
We are preparing a separate legal challenge to the Bretton Woods Agreements Act, 1963, against the Constitution of Kenya 2010 to ensure all actors involved in Kenya’s debt processes are subjected to proper scrutiny.
Most importantly, the Court rejected attempts by the Attorney General and other respondents to have this case dismissed. The judges ruled that our petition will proceed to a full hearing on its merits.
The Court also dismissed applications by the former Auditor General, former Controller of Budget, the current Auditor General, and the current Controller of Budget seeking to shield themselves from these proceedings.
This is a significant victory for transparency, accountability, and the Kenyan people.
We will amend our petition as directed by the Court and return on 22nd July 2026. Our mission remains unchanged: to establish how Kenya accumulated trillions in public debt, how the funds were utilized , whether the public benefited and whether the law was followed at every stage.
This case is about protecting the future of our nation and the interests of every Kenyan taxpayer.
We remain focused, determined, and committed to seeing it through.
God Bless Kenya.

You guys, Mjengo Chronicles!!
When I received a call from this client who's in Australia, I was excited that he wanted me to build a 3bedroom bungalow for his elderly parents in Cheptonon, Mount Elgon. Little did I know the challenges that were waiting for me kwa ground.. not just the sloppy terrain.😅
First forward, we designed the house & the client approved the house design then we entered the execution phase. Getting materials for the foundation alone wasn't a walk in the park. We had to source most materials from Kamukuywa a, Bungoma County at very high costs like cement ni 890bob. P thats not enough, Guess the cost of transporting the materials 😪 a story for another day.
Since its a jenga polepole project, we completed the foundation in March, we resumed superstructure walling in May. But now came another challenge, unlike March where tippers would deliver the materials to the site, this time round we are dealing with heavy rainfalls and tippers are dumping the materials like 700M away from the site then I have to hire donkeys to fetch sands, stones, ballast, cement etc to the site.
All that said, we're never afraid of executing projects in any part of the country. Those who have always said we don't eat roads, one day you realise you actually eat roads.
Wacha tukoroge beams then another break before we come back for roofing. We had agreed that the project will be complete in 8months.
Karen Nyamu MUST step down or be removed from the Senate!!
What happened to that student in Senate was deeply inappropriate and honestly very uncomfortable to watch. A child walked into a national institution under a school program and somehow ended up being spoken about in a suggestive manner by an adult holding public office.
And no, we will not reduce this to “Karen just being Karen..” There are certain lines that should never be crossed, especially when children are involved!!
A young girl should be able to walk into Senate and leave feeling inspired, respected and safe, not embarrassed, sexualized or turned into the center of inappropriate remarks in front of an entire room and the country.
Public office comes with responsibility, maturity and self-control. If someone cannot understand the weight of their words around minors, then they honestly should not continue occupying such a position.
And honestly, this entire situation raises very serious questions about how Karen Nyamu even ended up in the Senate in the first place.
Who nominates these people?
What exactly is the criteria?
What values are being rewarded?
What kind of conduct qualifies someone to represent Kenyans at that level?
Because if this is the standard being normalized in our public institutions, then we genuinely have a deeper crisis as a country.
An apology alone is not enough. There must be accountability.
MAJAMAA, there are 18 innocent comrades from Karatina, Nyeri County who have been facing fabricated charges following the July 2024 protests.
They have been appearing in court since 2024 for mentioning and more mentioning dates.
On the 13th of March 2026, the prosecution requested for two more weeks to review the case on whether to continue with the case or not and on 26th March 2026, the prosecution decided that they will continue with the case and a new hearing date was set to be on the 4th of June 2026.
The 18 comrades are kindly calling for our solidarity and humbly requesting that we stand with them on the 4th of June 2026.

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.
@IEBCKenya stop the delays. Youth deserve a system that works. Make registration seamless nationwide. Vijana, register in large numbers. Your vote is your power. Protect your future. Own 2027.
Report any delays. Hold IEBC accountable.
Someone asked me why I looked old or older in my Kibera photos compared to Now, this was my house when Legendary @NaziziHirji visited me in 2009. Looking to how youths are being used badly as goons let me tell those who don’t understand coz it’s clear most of you may not fully grasp the reality of life in the informal settlements so allow me to offer you a lived synopsis.
The slums age me long before the world ever gave me a fair chance. By 18, I carried the weight of decades not because I wanted to, but because I had to.
Spending your first 25 years in a place where poverty is normalized doesn’t just shape you it scars you. Not only through the absence of basic needs, but through the constant dehumanization even from relatives who distance themselves once they move beyond those streets. You’re criminalized by default. Watched, profiled, and blamed before you’re ever seen or heard.
There is no access to food security, no reliable healthcare, no consistent education, and certainly no financial safety net. Just the brutal mathematics of survival.
And survival isn’t free it demands your innocence, your dreams, and often, your spirit. It ages you. It erodes your sense of wonder. It kills the child in you before he ever knows what freedom feels like.
But somehow, I found a way out. Music became my escape not just an art form, but a form of resistance. Through it, I found my own . I reclaimed my voice. And in doing so, I began the slow work of reinstalling my soul.
This is why ending poverty is not charity it is justice. It is the restoration of dignity and the protection of every child’s right to simply be a child.
If this doesn’t happen the goons will never ever go away and your favorite politician probably knows this and it excites him.

Kasongo is not resting — and this time, he is coming for public land in broad daylight.
The National Treasury has now formally directed all Principal Secretaries to identify and document idle or underutilised public land under their custody, backed by ownership documents and updated asset registers.
On the surface, this sounds like efficiency. In reality, it opens the door to something far more dangerous if left unchecked.
They are further being instructed to subject this land to independent valuation through government-registered valuers. Again, this appears procedural — but Kenyans know too well how valuation games are played: undervalue public assets, transfer interests quietly, and watch private fortunes grow from public wealth.
Then comes the core of the matter — “commercialisation.” Principal Secretaries are being told to assess options such as leasing, joint ventures, and granting development rights. Let’s call this what it is: a structured pathway to privatise public land through backdoor arrangements dressed up as economic optimisation.
And it does not stop there.
The directive goes further to include commercialisation of passenger and freight concessions, leasing of railway land and stations, way-leaves, and even tourism services.
What is being packaged as reform is, in effect, a sweeping attempt to open up public infrastructure and land assets to private capture.
This is not just policy — it is a potential transfer of generational wealth from the public to a connected few.
Public land is not idle wealth waiting to be exploited. It is strategic national capital — held in trust for citizens today and generations to come.
The moment you begin to “commercialise” it without airtight transparency, public participation, and parliamentary oversight, you create a pipeline for state capture.
We have seen this script before. It starts with audits and valuations. It moves to “partnerships.” It ends with permanent loss of public control.
Kenyans must ask hard questions: Who are these joint venture partners? Who benefits from these leases? What safeguards exist against undervaluation and insider dealing?
Where is public participation in decisions of this magnitude?
Because if this process proceeds in opacity, what is being called reform today will be remembered as one of the largest silent dispossessions of public assets in Kenya’s history.
This is not efficiency. This is not reform.
This is a line that must be watched — and challenged — in real time.
The reason MPESA stays unbeaten is that it leverages on the huge telco subscription across Kenya with a wide base usage of about 85% .
This is why Mpesa only performs in Kenya and has flopped in other East African countries.
Any other payment aggregator who enters the market must first accept that a majority of Kenyans will default to MPESA because it associates with the telco they are using and therefore seamless registration and identity.
Most other aggregators require an email as primary identifier, Mpesa only needs a valid Safaricom simcard. Huge leverage.
To beat MPESA, you will have to wait for the larger demography to adapt to use of mobile apps, this takes away telco-dependence.
That the President nor any government official has issued any statement following the devastating Nairobi floods that has claimed many lives, and destroyed properties worth millions, tells you that this government is not bothered by things affecting ordinary people.
Bad leadership is expensive!
