[Lapid Leaders Africa @LapidLeaders]

@KenyaPower_Care There's no electricity in Lenana Heights and your phone is not going through

[Lapid Leaders Africa @LapidLeaders]

There's a power outage where we are and your phones are not working. How do we report the outage?

The promise that university will now be free for all sounds like progress but when it comes months to an election, after years of complaints about a broken funding model, Kenyans are entitled to ask, is this policy or politics?

For years, universities have been running on deficits, students have been locked out or saddled with loans, and the new student‑centred funding model has left families choosing courses they can afford rather than those they qualify for. Half of public universities are already potentially insolvent, and HELB can fund barely a fifth of first‑years under current allocations.

If the State could not sustainably fund the existing model, how does it suddenly find resources to fully fund every KUCCPS‑placed student without a clear legal framework, costed plan and honest conversation about trade‑offs in health, housing and other services? A constitutional government must not dangle free rights as campaign bait while hiding the fiscal maths from the very citizens expected to pay the bill.

I stand with students, parents, lecturers and workers who want real reform, not last‑minute promises. We demand transparent costings tabled in Parliament, a credible financing law, and guarantees that any move towards universal higher‑education funding will not collapse already struggling institutions or deepen inequality between those in public and private universities.

Free, quality university education is a legitimate aspiration but it must be built openly, sustainably and with citizens at the centre, not announced from a rally podium as a political surprise. Kenyans deserve more than applause lines, they deserve a plan.

The wildest part about POVERTY is how much time it steals. Waiting for buses. Calling assistance offices. Comparing grocery prices. Fighting insurance. Sitting at laundromats. Being poor is a second job nobody pays you for.

The cat is out of the bag. Finally!
All the hullaballoo about Ebola and all that was a smoke screen to create a transit passage for minerals from the DRC and the region to the USA...unbelievable.
The imperialists have found a perfect stooge in Africa. There will be a backlash

@AbsaKenya @AbsaKenya that's what we were told but when you login there's only an option for monthly which is even more inefficient

[Lapid Leaders Africa @LapidLeaders]

@AbsaKenya how is it that you haven't built the capacity for customers to download a full year's statement and people have to do an inefficent month by month statement in 2026?!!

[Lapid Leaders Africa @LapidLeaders]

@AbsaKenya stop normalizing inefficiencies @AbsaSouthAfrica . Downloading a bank statement should be the most basic thing to do not a job!

@Safaricom_Care @PeterNdegwa_ Unfortunately this is not new feedback, you all should already know this and now it has gone to even merchants @PeterNdegwa_ people have to call in to request for MPESA statements for merchants, that's as inefficient as it comes.

[Lapid Leaders Africa @LapidLeaders]

@Safaricom_Care it's very unfortunate that nowadays even your merchant line takes close to 10 min before it's picked up. Your service has seriously deteroriated @PeterNdegwa_ @SafaricomPLC
