Like me or hate me, we must speak truthfully to one another as Kenyans. It is not only government that is paying goons to cause political violence. There are young people and some boda boda riders who met and shared with me about their refusal to take money from some opposition politicians to engage in counter violence. Whoever hires goons, weather in government or the opposition is an enemy of the people of Kenya and must be stopped. #NewKenya #DrainTheSwamp #CharacterMatters.

...after 16th July they won't be paid.

(The construction signage tells are different story though, this project was launched on 27th May 2021 and was supposed to be completed on 30th November 2021).

Construction started only recently with the by-election campaigns.

I met these ladies the Ol Kalou market, they claim 15 of them were contracted to excavate the market as per the contracts attached. They were promised to be paid immediately after they completed the works but they haven't been paid yet. They are afraid that...

THE SHYLOCK NEXT DOOR

You would never let someone use your ID to borrow money from a Shylock, then expect you to repay the loan. You would call it THEFT.

So why are we so quiet when it happens to our country?

Kenya’s public debt now stands at about KSh 12.8 trillion. This year, about 91 percent of the taxes we collect will go to paying debt, not improving hospitals, schools, roads, or supporting counties.

We feel it every day through higher taxes, delayed county funding, delayed and reduced capitation, struggling public services, and fewer development projects.

Debt is not the problem. Debt without clear results is.

Every Kenyan is paying for these loans. Every Kenyan has the right to ask one simple question.

What did we borrow all this money for?

Your name is on the bill. Your voice should be part of the conversation.

@kelvinmulilya @kamauwaruhiu Tribalism is an ideology. We fail to defeat it by failing to realise this.

[aek_minor @kimemiathinks]

@kamauwaruhiu To the extent there are candidates with policy, they are being drowned out by easy to remember slogans in the style of the sheep in Animal Farm were used to shout "4 legs good, 2 legs better."

Early 2000s Maina Njenga?

That’s not a dynasty,

That’s when Mungiki was decapitating matatu operators for not paying them illegal taxes.

I bet that conversation doesn’t come up in family dinners..

The World Bank has cut Kenya's 2026 growth forecast to 4.3%, down from 4.9%, and warns up to 2.4 million more Kenyans could fall into poverty this year.

Government projected 5%.

That gap between official optimism and lived reality is the story of this presidency.

Kenyans are paying more for fuel, transport and food while being told the numbers are fine.

We need a government that plans for citizens, not for headlines.

Kenya bags African title as World Rafting Cup debuts in Africa: Kenya became the first African country to host a World Rafting Cup event, with international teams competing on the Grade III and IV rapids of the Tana River in Sagana. The competition gave Kenyan paddlers a rare opportunity to test themselves against some of the world's top crews on home waters.

Wait, what?
That comment on a random kenyan doing a random thing in a random place is honestly going to be forever evergreen.

[Mumbi. @miss_mumbzk]

State reneged on creating a productive economy, has criminalized political gatherings in public space for progressive causes, has basically evsicerated the very concept of public goods from healthcare to education, in order to advance a politics of violence, using the very people they’ve dispossessed as their foot soldiers.

[Mumbi. @miss_mumbzk]

I think if there’s anything we learn from this militia story is that mutual aid must be part of any progressive left project in this country. People need their material needs met and will clearly do anything to get just a crumb. Pushing ideas without care will get us nowhere.

[Okiya Omtatah Okoiti @OkiyaOmtatah]

The fight to liberate Kenya from the chokehold of illegal, odious debt requires exactly this kind of patriotic innovation. We cannot pay for what we did not receive, and tracking it in real-time is a powerful weapon for public awareness.
Let us engage. Our youth must lead this vanguard for economic justice.

Because Africa had started asking the economic questions. People were asking why Sudan is being bombed for gold, why Congolese kids are slaving for cobalt, why IMF &World Bank are destroying african public services as terms of their loans.
Now they are taking us back to" tribes"
