FELLOW KENYANS, THE CONSTITUTION IS UNDER SIEGE! 🇰🇪
Our Constitution was designed with one clear principle. No single political office should have unchecked control over public money. That is why it separates political leadership from the management of the country’s finances.
Article 225(1) establishes the National Treasury as the constitutional custodian of public finances. Its role is too important to be left to politics alone.
Yet Section 11 of the Public Finance Management Act places the National Treasury under the National Executive and under the authority of a political Cabinet Secretary.
This is not a small legal issue. It goes to the heart of constitutional governance.
Parliament has the power to make laws that implement the Constitution. It does not have the power to change the Constitution through an ordinary Act of Parliament.
When the independence of public financial management is weakened, the checks that protect taxpayers’ money are weakened too.
The Constitution must remain above politics. Every law passed by Parliament must respect it.
If we fail to defend Chapter Twelve today, we risk eroding one of the most important safeguards for accountability and responsible use of public resources.
The Constitution belongs to all of us. Defending it is a duty we all share.
His father's only crime was showing up to vote for his preferred candidate in the Ol Kalou by-election. No child should be subjected to such pain because of the actions of a rogue CS for Interior.
This is a planned, deliberate and cold blooded murder. Those who ORDERED it and those who carried out the order should be punished severely. Where are the BIG PEOPLE who ordered it?
🚨JUST IN: A new bill aims to clamp down on protests (14-day notices, strict limits, etc.). Martha Karua has opposed it, and she’s spot on.
Let’s stop falling for the trick: Kenya does not have a legislation problem. It has an enforcement problem.
We’ve seen police served with proper notices in previous protests, only to deny receiving them, block streets, and brutalize peaceful citizens.
Passing a new law to fix a rogue police culture is like buying a new lock for a door the guard keeps opening for intruders.
Sharing a deep dive into the bill's clauses shortly.
This is @TunduALissu... Samia Suluhu Hassan has kept him in jail in communicado for almost a year now... No family visits, no nothing... And Tanzanians are moving on with their lives... Same is happening in Uganda with Kizza Besigye...
New details are emerging from the chaos in Ol Kalou.
Dennis Itumbi was photographed with a man who has been identified as Gerald Masai from Machakos County. Gerald is alleged to be among those involved in the attack on the DCP truck, during which the truck's mechanic was reportedly abducted, assaulted, and threatened.
If you know Gerald Masai or have information that could help investigators, please share it with the relevant authorities.
The Ol Kalou incident has sparked serious concerns, with allegations that individuals linked to the government played a role in the violence. A full, independent investigation is needed to establish the facts and ensure anyone responsible is held accountable.
🚨 “Wantam” Chants as Keiyo South Residents Turn Against President Ruto Over Kaptagat Forest Standoff❗
Chepkorio residents in Keiyo South, Elgeyo Marakwet County, have vehemently opposed the planned fencing of the ecosystem, accusing the government of advancing the project without adequate public participation.
During a recent protest over the proposed intervention, “Wantam” chants reverberated across the area as locals directed their frustration towards President William Ruto over the matter, warning that the government’s handling of the issue will likely influence their political decisions in the 2027 General Election.
They have also called on DCP leader Rigathi Gachagua to personally intervene in the standoff, seeking his support in pushing for dialogue over the proposed changes and ensuring the concerns of communities around the forest are taken into consideration.
If he NEVER CONSTRUCTED the 100 DAMS he promised, NEVER Availed gas cookers for 300 bob, never manufactured mobile phones for 5k, then FORGET about this Promise.
