This is just IEBC running away from responsibility. Everyone can see who is violating the law. The commission should punish those openly bribing voters and using state resources to campaign. Instead it creates a false equivalence and threatens to punish everyone. Very escapist.
The Open & Blatant bribery of voters in Ol Kalou undermines all democratic values & virtues. It negates entire Chapter 6 of the Constitution on LEADERSHIP & INTEGRITY. Itโs sad @IEBCKenya & @EACCKenya are abrogating their Constitutional Duties & Mandate.
An audit has revealed that Kenya Railways may have undervalued its land by over Sh140 billion, with its Central Region land worth Sh160 billion but recorded at Sh18.75 billion.
The audit also found 119 land parcels lacked ownership documents.
Morara Kebaso: I was reading this audit report, 1.8 million shillings spent on a pit latrine at Kenyoro SDA Primary. Which pit latrine will cost 1.8 million? A 5000 litres water tank, the MP is getting it for 500,000 shillings, kitu ya 35,000 kwa hardware. He said there is a problem of climate change in Kisii, the most forested place in Kenya. The guy is planting trees at a cost of 6 million. These are the MPs that must be replaced by people of values #JKLive
Keumbu traders in Kisii were left stranded with unsold produce after passengers arriving by bus reportedly declined to buy from the market following the recent attack on the Linda Mwananchi team. The low customer turnout has affected business, with many vendors counting losses.
They are now telling Kenyans that government eyeing SACCO money will be a big win for savers, which is the kind of comedy you hear when a hyena enters a goat shed and calls it a security partnership ๐๐๐๐๐
A broke government that has borrowed everywhere, taxed everything, sold public assets, crowded out SMEs through banks and now wants SACCO money cannot suddenly be marketed as a blessing to savers.
SACCO members did not save slowly from salaries, biashara, farming, boda rides, police pay, nursing shifts and teaching jobs so Treasury could arrive with a PowerPoint and call their private sacrifice infrastructure financing.
This debate is very simple, because government should not compete with ordinary Kenyans for SACCO money, loans and credit in the last financial corner where citizens were still breathing.
Calling this a big win for SACCOs is like telling a man that the thief measuring his door at night is doing free security assessment.
The High Court has ordered the Inspector-General of Police and the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) to jointly pay a university student Sh8 million for police brutality and a years-long failure to deliver justice.
The court found that police breached Allan Omondi's constitutional rights by assaulting and unlawfully detaining him during a 2019 incident near Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) on his way to the hostels.

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.
Economically, government should not go after SACCO money as a bailout pool, because SACCOs exist mainly to serve members with savings and affordable loans, not to rescue Treasury from a debt problem.
When government starts pulling SACCO money into infrastructure, small businesses will feel the pain first, because SACCOs are the last credit corner left for ordinary Kenyans who were already locked out, ignored or punished by banks after government started competing through internal debt.
Kenyans who lived through Kibakiโs time remember an economy where businesses were breathing, banks were chasing customers with tents outside branches, and ordinary people were being begged to take loans.
Let Ruto accept he has lost it, we default and he resigns then we investigate these odious debts.
No matter the tricks, the diarrhoea will explode.
