I told @CentumPLC CEO, @MworiaJ, that in my thinking, the US$37.3 Million I-REIT should ideally have been a restricted offer or at least target institutional player.

So why the opening up to retail investors & how do they intend to mitigate secondary market liquidity risk for retail investors?

Mworia makes the following points:

· The design of the REIT targets the Kenyans who have hard currency deposits lying in banks fetching 3.0% - 4.0% return p.a.
· Worth pointing out here that the country’s banking system closed March 2026 at Kes 1.36 trillion worth of foreign currency deposits having grown from Kes 1.24 trillion in March 2025, posting a 9.7 percent increase y/y
· To address the secondary market liquidity risk, he says the issuer has partnered with Nabo Capital to set up a US$4.0 Millon (Kes 517.8 Million) liquidity pool to provide ready counter party in instances where an investor seeks exit but struggles to find a buyer

This economy punishes careless spending harder than low income. Those who'll survive this decade won't necessarily be the high income earners, but the ones disciplined enough to build in hard times.

If you earn Sh 50,000 monthly, break your life into survival and escape. Use about Sh 10K for food, 6K for transport, 12K for rent and utilities, keep 5K aside for emergencies, reserve 7K for flexible expenses, and most importantly invest at least 10K every month into an investment or skill that can grow your income.

[The People’s President @bonifacemwangi]

Last October, my niece was raped on her way home at around 9;00pm. After those two beasts were done violating her, they forced her to send money to an M-Pesa till.

My sister called me crying in the middle of the night and I called Usikimye Founder, Njeri Wa Migwi, because I didn't know what to do. My niece received the medical help she needed, and the matter was reported to the Theta Police Station in Juja Constituency. She was given an OB, number 07/09/10/2025.

My niece went to follow up with the police but they didn’t even bother to write a statement. They didn’t even visit the scene. I paid a visit to the station with a lawyer @fatumabdulkadir, my wife @njerikan, and a friend, @JulianiKenya and spoke to the OCS. Our presence forced the Officer Commanding the Police Station to assign an officer to her case.

My niece wrote her statement and we drove the police to the site. The lady assigned to the case was Inspector MWW. I kept in touch with her every other day for months while following up on the case. The wheels of justice in Kenya grind slowly or sometimes never even start. As a good police officer, she filed a miscellaneous application in court to find out who owned the M-Pesa number to which my niece sent the money.

The application went through, but before the inspector could identify the perpetrators in January, she was arrested by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, Serious Crime Unit. The same DCI unit that has been harassing me and arresting me on trumped-up charges. I have been under state surveillance for a long time, ironically for being a good citizen advocating for a better Kenya.

My repeated calls to a police inspector were flagged by the National Intelligence Service, which handed over the call logs to the DCI to obtain a search warrant against her. She was arrested, her phone and laptop confiscated and taken to DCI. She gave my phone number to her family, and they called me. They told me she was questioned and accused of helping me plan protests. Inspector MWW was accused by the DCI of planning to mobilize members of the public to demonstrate and cause mayhem in the Ruiru area. Specifically, she was suspected of offences including preparation to commit a felony, malicious damage to property and assault causing actual bodily harm. The case also involved unauthorised interference with computer systems, with allegations that she used WhatsApp chats, text messages, and other digital communications to orchestrate or coordinate actions that posed a risk to public peace, stability, and safety. Her HP Compaq laptop and dual-SIM smartphone were seized for forensic analysis to gather evidence related to these alleged activities.

I called Advocate Ian Mutiso, who went to see her at DCI and was ready to help. She declined legal assistance connected to me, fearing that accepting it could be interpreted as evidence of an association. She cut off all communications with me to protect her job and decidednot to follow up on my niece’s rape case. The last time I checked on her through her family, her gadgets were yet to be returned to her. After her arrest, even the officers at the police station refused to investigate the case.

Then another assault and attempted rape happened. Same place. Same people, according to the description given by the second victim. This time, the rapist sent the money to himself, not another number, and took the victim’s phone. The victim could see her phone’s location somewhere in Juja. The victim’s OB number is 02/03/03/2026.

If the police had arrested the perpetrators instead of the investigator, the second rape wouldn’t have happened, and many other crimes. Every year since this government came to power, the National Intelligence Service (NIS) has continued to grow. Their budget is Ksh 51.4 billion, while the Judiciary’s is about half that, at Ksh 27.8 billion. The judiciary has over 250 court stations and tribunals across the country. They have more employees, a pending caseload of approximately 600,000 cases, and justice to deliver to millions of Kenyans, but it’s the spying agency that has a bigger budget.

The NIS does important work to protect Kenyans, but it also has units that are assigned to abduct active citizens. They have killer squads who will show up in protests masked, and shoot unarmed citizens. The same budget for NIS is where the president can call and send Noordin or his minions to deliver a briefcase containing millions of shillings to a politician or someone the president wants to bribe, so they can be silenced or persuaded to support him. They collect dirt, blackmail, and bribe people to support an unpopular president whose only legacy is abducting and killing young people. increased debt, and defunding education.

Let this regime be a lesson to all of us. Never vote for people who are accused of beating women, raping women, murdering and committing crimes against humanity. When you vote for such people, they will not care about the safety of women and children, they will prioritise house repairs over health, handouts instead of funding education, and if you dare protest, they will send police to shoot you. The pain and depression in the lives of Kenyans are a result of voting for someone who showed us his true colours, and we still elected him.

Tomorrow, my family and I will join the women’s march in Nairobi to protest against femicide, gender-based violence and the children who have been kidnapped or killed. I will be in the streets for my niece, and every woman and child whose life has been violated and ruined by this regime.

Ps: I have attached the search warrant and photos of the OB numbers in the thread.

The fear of losing money keeps many broke in the long run.

Saving is good, but investing is what builds real wealth.

• Inflation quietly eats your savings every year. Sh 10,000 today may only buy Sh 7,000 worth of goods in a few years.

• Bank interest rates (5-7%) are often lower than inflation, so your money is actually losing value while sitting “safe”.

• Money under the mattress earns zero return and can be stolen, destroyed by fire, or eaten by mice.

• You miss out on dividends, capital growth, and compounding that quality NSE stocks like EQTY, BAT, and SCOM can provide.

[cheruiyotkb @cheruiyotkb]

A salary's certainty gives you fuel for your fire.

Use it to buy cash flowing assets that put money in your pocket every month or quarter.

A salary's predictability will allow you the freedom to explore different investment opportunities and see what works for you.

[cheruiyotkb @cheruiyotkb]

Real wealth starts when your money works harder than you do.

Build assets that generate income while you sleep, protect your time, and maintain uncompromised standards.

Stop just aiming for a million shillings. Aim to become the person for whom Sh 1M is just the beginning.

Why Omtatah Wants 3 Court of Appeal Judges Removed — Hon. Justice Luka Kimaru, Hon. Justice Sila Munyao and Hon. Justice Dr. Johnson Okoth Okello
🫆 Omtatah filed a constitutional petition challenging the Kenya-US Health Cooperation Framework (signed 4 Dec 2025), raising concerns on sovereignty, health data privacy, parliamentary oversight, and financial obligations
🫆The High Court granted conservatory orders on 19 December 2025 stopping implementation pending hearing
🫆The Government appealed to the Court of Appeal to stay those orders
🫆On 12 May 2026, the three judges stayed the High Court orders but refused to give reasons at that point
🫆They deferred reasons to 30 October 2026 — nearly five months later
🫆The order took immediate effect, but its legal basis was withheld
🫆Why Omtatah Considers This Unconstitutional
✅Without written reasons, he cannot meaningfully appeal to the Supreme Court
✅The Supreme Court itself has held that reasoned judgments are prerequisite for effective appellate review
✅His constitutional right of appeal under Article 163(4)(a) is rendered practically ineffective
🫆Consequential Harm
✅The contested framework is already being implemented (e.g., US Ebola isolation centre in Kenya)
✅By October 2026 when reasons arrive, consequences will be irreversible — data transferred, fiscal commitments made, regulatory arrangements changed
🫆What He Is Asking JSC to Investigate
✅Gross misconduct
✅Breach of the Judicial Service Code of Conduct and Ethics
✅Violation of constitutional rights to fair hearing and access to justice
✅Conduct in bad faith outside judicial immunity protection
✅Alternatively — incompetence for failing to apply binding Supreme Court precedent

[Faith Odhiambo @FaithOdhiambo8]

The Court of Appeal has dismissed NSSF’s application to suspend the ELRC judgment that declared the NSSF Act, 2013 unconstitutional. In simple terms, the Court has refused to revive an invalid law through interim orders and has insisted that constitutional violations cannot be cured by fear‑mongering about alleged chaos in the pensions sector.

The judges reaffirmed the well‑known Rule 5(2)(b) test which states that an applicant must show both an arguable appeal and that, without stay, the appeal would be rendered nugatory. They accepted that the intended appeal raises at least one arguable point including whether the High Court mis‑characterised the NSSF Act, 2013 as social assistance under Article 43(3) rather than a contribution‑based pension scheme and whether the Bill needed Senate input under Articles 110 and 205. However, they were emphatic that arguability alone is not enough. The Fund had to demonstrate concrete, evidenced risk that a successful appeal would be worthless if stay was denied and it failed to do so.

Crucially, the Court called out NSSF’s alarmist claims of destabilisation, governance quagmire and catastrophic financial loss. The Board alleged paralysis of the Haba na Haba scheme, exposure of over 580,000 informal‑sector members and billions in contributions and even the freezing of emigration and burial grants but placed no audited accounts, actuarial reports or empirical evidence before the Court. Bare assertions could not satisfy the stringent nugatory test, especially where respondents showed that contributions have flowed under Cap 258 for nine years without crisis, refunds, or threats of non‑remittance.

An account of the events from a student at Utumishi Girls Academy on what truly transpired is deeply gut-wrenching.

[NBC Digital News @NBCDigitalNews]

VIDEO | A deadly fire at Utumishi Girls Academy in Gilgil, central Kenya, has killed at least 16 students and left others injured after flames tore through a dormitory at the boarding school.

Footage filmed on Thursday shows crowds of students, parents and relatives gathering at the school gates and grounds in the aftermath of the blaze, some embracing one another in grief while others were seen confronting authorities.

Kenya Red Cross Secretary General Dr Ahmed Idris, speaking at the site, said his organisation was focused on supporting bereaved families through the identification process.

"As the process of identifying the children who unfortunately lost their lives is being undertaken, we help, and we continue to support their parents, their relatives, and their friends in that process of grieving, so the psycho support will be here in the next couple of days to support the families until the time of the burials," he said.

Idris described the scale of the tragedy in stark terms, calling for the grief of affected families to be shielded from political interference.

"Any disaster where 16 people lose their lives is extremely sad. It is particularly horrifying when there are 16 people who are young, who are children, and our request to everyone is to allow and facilitate the parents and the affected to mourn without any political elements," he added.

Authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the blaze, as parents of students and Kenyans on social media renewed calls for scrutiny over fire safety standards and emergency preparedness in the country's boarding schools.

This graphic by @Stay_Hidden0 should be required reading for every Kenyan before we vote in the next election.

Reading, and more importantly, comprehension.

When you call your bank, you should be asked a few questions from this data.

If you go on a date - you should ask your date a few questions from this. No second date if you don’t know how much our country is spending on debt service.
