Diesel users missed an Sh8 per litre price drop after the government used the savings to keep petrol and kerosene prices unchanged in the latest EPRA review.
The decision comes after the government used the Sh8 per litre savings from diesel to subsidise petrol and kerosene as the fuel subsidy fund neared depletion
Mine got an accident at 11 months. The driver called and asked I check WhatsApp. I saw the truck upside down. I flipped the phone wondering why he took photos upside down. My seat mate at the bar shouted "haiya Nani ameangusha gari mpya". It dawned on me. Pombe ilishuka yote.
The audit reveals that Finsprint, a private firm involved in the SHA payment system, deducts a 2% fee from every payment made to hospitals before the money is sent.
Strangely, it also says the firm's majority shareholder has no verifiable address.
Update: Mac & Too Agency have asked me to pull down this post as they have said they will pay by Friday.
My response is simple. Until the payment is done the post remains up.
There's a full page in the Sunday Nation where the National Assembly seeks to explain the thinking behind a number of provisions in Finance Bill 2026.
What stands out for me:
1. The Assembly says that the proposed deletion of Sec42(14,e) regarding agency notices is designed to strengthen enforcement & enhance recoveries from taxpayers who "deliberately" want to avoid paying taxes using appeals
What the Assembly doesn't say is that even presently appeals at the High Court, by mutual consent between parties involved, attract security from the taxpayer depending on the quantum of the assessment issued by the Revenue Authority.
2. The Assembly argues that Finance Bill 2026 doesn't introduce any new tax on mobile phones. What it does is to consolidate existing taxes under a 25.0% excise duty rate.
What the Assembly doesn't say is that the Bill knocks off three crucial incentives that have been in place for locally assembled phones.
a) The first is input recovery since they are being reclassified from Zero Rated to Exempt
b) The second is excise exemption
c) The third is that while the Bill exempts imported finished phones from IDF & RDL, there's no equivalent relief for the imported inputs for locally assembled devices
3. Regarding the 20.0% Withholding Tax on betting & gaming winnings, the National Assembly says that the idea is to protect society against the practise of betting
What the Assembly doesn't say is that it was Finance Act 2025, just a year ago, that overhauled the tax regime on betting &, among other things, scrapped 20.0% Withholding Tax on gross winnings. We are all for protecting society, it is the flip flop around tax we take issue with.
One time my niece went missing for about 2 hours. I was going crazy, walking around the road trying to ask everyone if they’ve seen a child her age. Thoughts racing in my head of what could be happening to her. It was the worst 2 hours of my life. I can’t imagine what those parents are going through💔
Let's do a little Mazematics!!
3.1B for 11 Trips is an average of 282Million per Trip.
Between now and June 30th is 3 months, and therefore, he will burn Kes 1.03 billion per month on Travel.
At KNH
1. A radiotherapy machine has been down for over 3 months
2. The key cancer machine (LINAC) broke down
So, in short, the KNH Cancer Centre is in distress. Machines are down, patients are waiting, and some are missing treatment altogether.
But let the man travel.

In the County of @Baringo_county - it is nice to be Governor. Maybe, too nice!
Take a look. The County has a budget of about KSH 8 Billion.
Out of that, the County Assembly eats up 10%. 45 People in that county, eat up 10% of the budget. KSH 800 million.
The Governor's Office by itself controls KSH 3.6 Billion! Over 4 times the County Assembly budget!
And, the amount is close to 100% "operating" in nature, meaning it is spent during the year.
Dining. Wining. Traveling. ETC.
And about 8 times the budget of the Roads and Public Works department!
And about 4 times the Health Department!
The priorities are clear enough!
For every TWO SHILLINGS the county recieves every year - and they can only raise 5% of the budget, 50% is consumed by those in government.
In salaries, ALONE!
Baringo employs about 0.6% of the County Population. So, this 0.6% of the population, is eating up 50% of the budget.
That is salaries, alone.
What is left, is also fair game.
KSH 371 Million on travel - ALL OF IT WASTEFUL. See the attachment.
South Korea. China. South Korea. China. Singapore. Singapore. Ghana. South Korea. Dubai.
Think about this. The county only gave KSH 177 million to county hospitals.
But they dropped KSH 317 Million travelling in style.
You people are DUMB, AS HELL.
Kati yao na mbuzi - tafauti ni harufu tu.
KSH 317 Million on 100% wasteful TRAVEL - WHEN THE ENTIRE COUNTY ONLY MADE KSH 196 MILLION IN OWN SERVICE REVENUE ALL YEAR!
The Governor has an income that is 92 times the average citizen's income.
MCA? 22 times the average citizen's income.
This entire county of close to 700,000 people, only devoted KSH 61 Million to bursaries in 2023-2024.
Do you know the poverty rate? 47%.
This County spends KSH 6 travelling in style for every 1 shilling they spend on bursaries, in a county where 1 out of every 2 people cannot afford two meals a day.
This, ladies and gentlemen, ain't devolution.
