The Affordable Housing Programme is fundamentally misguided. It compels millions of Kenyans to finance a state-led construction model through a mandatory levy, yet many of those paying into the scheme may never qualify for or own the houses being built. Rather than empowering citizens with affordable mortgages and construction finance, it centralises resources into large-scale projects that primarily benefit contractors and politically connected interests.

Housing should be about enabling homeownership, not taxing workers to fund a construction industry. When public policy prioritises concrete over credit, it risks becoming a vehicle for wealth transfer rather than social transformation. Kenya does not need a compulsory housing levy; it needs affordable financing that allows families to build, buy, and own homes on their own terms.

[Willis Evans Otieno @otienowill]

This affordable housing model is deeply paradoxical.

Kenyans are compelled to pay a mandatory housing levy to finance ambitious housing projects, yet many of those contributing may never qualify for, afford, or own the very houses they are funding.

To make matters worse, after collecting billions through the levy, the Government still returns to taxpayers seeking additional financing, arguing that the available resources are insufficient to sustain the programme.

If a project financed through a compulsory tax still cannot fund itself, then serious questions must be asked about its design, financing model, priorities, and long-term sustainability.

If I were William Ruto's political adviser, I would tell him something no one in his inner circle has the courage to say:

Don't run in 2027.

Politics is unforgiving. It does not reward stubbornness; it punishes it.

The greatest danger facing you is not the opposition; it is the illusion created by those who survive by telling you what you want to hear. They clap at every speech, celebrate every rally, and call every crowd "historic." They are not measuring public opinion; they are protecting their paychecks.

Do not mistake the privileges of office for popularity. A convoy is not love. A State House reception is not public approval. A crowd assembled by power is not the same as a nation willing to vote for you.

Every ruler eventually reaches the point where the mirror tells one story and the people tell another. Wise leaders believe the people. Proud leaders believe the mirror.

You have spent more than thirty years climbing to the summit of Kenyan politics. Don't spend your final chapter proving that the hardest fall is the one from the highest mountain.

There comes a point when remaining in the race stops looking like courage and starts looking like an inability to read the times.

Leave while retirement is still a choice. If you insist on staying, don't be surprised when the ballot box becomes the harshest political adviser you have ever ignored.

[Eric @amerix]

Politicians steal your resources. The church steals your brain.

The church is worse.

Politicians in bed with the church is disastrous.

They steal your resources, and they all blame you for not tithing enough.

Then you accept it as the truth.

[Eric @amerix]

The most dangerous, destructive, exploitative and abusive institution in Afrika is not the government. It is the church.

[Willis Evans Otieno @otienowill]

If I were William Ruto's political adviser, I would tell him one thing: withdraw from the 2027 race.

Every politician has an expiry date. The greatest mistake is believing political power is permanent. History is littered with leaders who mistook the silence of those around them for the voice of the people.

You have spent over 30 years climbing the political ladder. Don't spend your final chapter tumbling down it.

There comes a point when the crowd is no longer cheering; it is simply waiting for the final whistle. The wisest boxer leaves the ring before the knockout, not after it. The wisest captain heads for shore before the storm sinks the ship.

Run in 2027 if you wish, but be prepared for the possibility that the verdict will be far harsher than the campaign. Retirement is not defeat. Refusing to recognize when your political moment has passed is.

Leave while you can still write the final paragraph of your own story. Otherwise, the electorate will write it for you.

This skull and the remains of Gen.Dedan Kimathi are important to Kenya's Heritage. Since Independence, the Regimes' failure to demand return/disclose to avoid annoying the former Colonial master is humiliating & embarrassing. Current Generation and Gen-Zees should demand this as a CONDITION of supporting those seeking to replace the Regime in power in next year's Elections

[Kivutha Kibwana @ProfKibwana]

Ademba’s patriotic TREASON is mobilizing GenZ to register as voters & indeed assisting IEBC’s work. In 2022, 8M registered voters didn’t vote. Mostly youth. 3-4M 18+ didn’t take ID card. Now 4M Gen Z are 18+. Ademba & NIKOKADI are mobilizing these 17M to exercise right to vote.

[Paul Muite SC @Paul_Muite]

Can GoK issue a Public Statement on this? Are U.S. citizens quarantined in Nanyuki Airbase in Contempt of Court Orders? Are there NO concerns by GoK of an Ebola breakout in Kenya? All this in pursuit of some USDs by some individuals!

[Dr. Miguna Miguna @MigunaMiguna]

An excellent suggestion to the @LawSocietyofKe. But I suspect they will not listen because, like the fake prophets in Kenya, they believe artificial mystiques enhance their profitability, however underserved.

Lawyers stopped using those ugly 16th century wigs even in the UK, Canada, Australia or USA more than 3 decades ago. The “my lords, my lady” nonsense is only used in Africa, especially in Kenya, Nigeria, Malawi and other neocolonial slave plantations. Latin also gave way in the UK, Canada, Australia and USA to Plain English in the 1990s. But in the Slave Plantations of Kenya, the invocation of Latin is awe striking.

Slavery will eventually end, when Kenyans stand up and say “Enough is Enough!”

[#LandIsNotProperty Mwalimu Wandia @wmnjoya]

I spoke to a Kenyan law colleague about the horsehair wigs. He asked me "so you want us to wear 19th century hides and carry spears in court?" I said, "well, if the problem is modernity, why are you wearing 16th century British wigs?"

@lawsocietykenya over to you. Remove the wigs, the my Lord my Lady whatever, and most of all, stop using KCSE language requirements to exclude our young people from practicing.

Hats off to the people of Ol Kalou. Everything was thrown at you; bribery, violence, intimidation, state power, but you stood firm. Congratulations to Sammy Kamau and the entire DCP team for that resounding victory.

[Paul Muite SC @Paul_Muite]

The brazen partisanship by IEBC in O'Kalou towards the Regime in Power calling bribery "State Gifts" and turning blind eyes on State sponsored goons' violence and other electoral offences, MUST be resolved before this shamelessly partisan IEBC can be relied upon to conduct next year's General Elections
