@kiigenn Spain/Portgual/Morocco 2030?

[Philip Maina @kimutaimaina]

Elite level trolling. 😂

[Zwë 🍟 @ZwebackHD]

This Germany Curacao game shows why the expanded World Cup is so embarrassing. Can you imagine a serious team losing 7-1 to Germany before all these new teams were let in?

Interesting how it's citizens private financial data that shouldn't be protected, yet, public officials don't declare honestly.

You want to come for everyone for evasion of taxes but don't have enough transparency to stop corruption within the government?

Make it make sense.

Treasury CS, John Mbadi, answers to concerns over financial data privacy:
Financial records should never be kept secret. If people hide financial records, no one will pay taxes.

If GoK was serious about this (and their actions tell us they are not):

(1) the state would not be fighting as aggressively as it is to keep SGR contracts secret, hiding behind ‘national security’ claims
(2) @KeTreasury would have made contracts for loans from institutions like TDB public (annual debt service to that body can be in the $ 1 billion p.a. range)
(3) we would have far more regular updates on inflows & outflows from funds that should be ring-fenced (but as PDF, RDL prove to us, they are not)
(4) we would see all tax returns & asset ownership data for anyone in public office - both politicians & civil servants
(5) Energy Ministry would have given taxpayers detailed clarity on what the triggers are for subsidizing fuel ages ago. This was required in our last @IMFNews program, but GoK chose not to comply.

This idea that ‘transparency’ is only for ‘other people’ (taxpayers like you and I, that is) is the unspoken part of how GoK makes policy. One rule for thee, and another for me.

That's the smile of a man that's just been paid. 😪

Why is this so funny 🤣🤣🤣

From the HR desk, 9 am should find you at your desks. I will take no matatu strike excuses.
Kind regards.

[Philip Maina @kimutaimaina]

@NarrativeEast @moneyacademyKE This is why they want him to open the office. So they can exact control.

Also, so they can collect taxes easily.

[Philip Maina @kimutaimaina]

I get the argument that the old one has colonial roots that we should move on from, yet the new building would not stand out if you dropped it somewhere in London.

They had a chance to do something iconic, that truly represents Kenya.

All we got is a white house replica.

I've always said, our president has no sense of style.

Anytime he's given a chance, the Shamba boy in him comes out.

This looks like Timba XO inspired.

It's like KRA wrote most of the Finance Bill, a study in rent-seeking, extraction, and overreach

[Philip Maina @kimutaimaina]

@ForensicsKuria @AmbokoJH He's being diplomatic so Tanzania doesn't back out or get upset.

The Pipline was already heading to Tanga before Dangote got involved.

If he declares the refinery to be in Mombasa, it'll seem like they are "plotting" behind Tanzania's back.

It says so much about your energy when children ignore you.
Their elation is pure and can only be drawn to a high vibration.

Timba XO, WHY?

🤣🤣🤣

[katyakay @katyakayy]

My son was just born and another dad at the nursery congratulated me and said his daughter was born yesterday. He said maybe they'll marry each other.

Sure, like my son is going to marry someone twice his age.

[Philip Maina @kimutaimaina]

Long drive. Added points if there's great conversations along the way.

[🍂 @Lovandfear]

Library date or long drive ?

[Rubison @rubison_]

Men celebrate things they tried soo hard to achieve. Birthday is not one of them.

My therapist told me:

People's negative traits are usually the opposite of their love languages.

Not asking for help.....Acts of Service
Isolating…..Quality Time
Avoidance……..Physical Touch
Impulsive Shopping......Gift Giving
Shutting down .….Words of Affirmation

@tmureymaina 16 months of preparations?

[Philip Maina @kimutaimaina]

Having a deadline for registration 16 months before an election is a form of rigging.

That's 12-16 months of 18 year olds (approx 1M voters) who won't be eligible to vote.

[Citizen TV Kenya @citizentvkenya]

Voter registration deadline

IEBC rules out extension of ongoing voter registration
IEBC urges Kenyans to take advantage of remaining week

[Africanus @AfroEconomicus]

They left Kenya early to 'RECEIVE president William Ruto in Rome, Italy.

Then, they will fly out to Nairobi, Kenya ahead of Ruto's return to 'WELCOME him back from Italy.

This TOMFOOLERY BS will cost you, taxpayers, millions in flight costs, 'hospitality costs' & per diems.
