🚨 Wake up, Kenyans. Something in the proposed National Payment System Bill needs all of our attention.
The Bill proposes that customer funds held in electronic-money trust accounts can be invested in Kenyan government securities.
Think about that.
Millions of Kenyans keep
My people, as I promised, here are the long-awaited meat test results. Let me take you through everything honestly, step by step.
For the last two weeks, many of you have been asking us to look into what is really happening with the meat being sold across Kenya.
So between the 4th and 14th of this month my teams collected samples from Nairobi, Mombasa, Rongai, Ruiru, Kahawa, Juja, Eastleigh, Mukuru, Kibera, South C, Fedha, supermarkets, and a few other locations.
Some butchers were very busy places, others were small corner shops that relied on a handful of customers a day.
We did that deliberately, to see whether adulteration is a widespread issue or concentrated in certain places.
Just watched a disturbing report from Samburu that proves how incompetent this government has become. Instead of running a real security operation, they imposed collective punishment on local families.
After police officers were killed in Isiolo, the government went after people suspected of being responsible. But according to the report, armed officers also moved into Samburu and fired into cattle, killing hundreds of them. Below are images of residents who lost over 300 cattle.
Let’s be clear about what those cattle mean. They are food. They are school fees. They are savings. They are the only livelihood many of these families have. When you shoot a family’s herd, you are not just killing animals. You are taking away their ability to survive.
A serious government would pursue criminals and protect innocent people. This one chose to ruin the lives of Kenyans who had nothing to do with the Isiolo attack.
If the objective was to recover stolen animals and arrest criminals, why did they end up shooting over 300 cattle? What happens to the children whose school fees depended on those animals?
That is why all this talk of “tutam” is a joke. Tutam for what? For destroying people’s livelihoods? For leaving already poor families even poorer?
What crime did those cattle commit?
Praise Aloikin was arrested by police in Uganda, then ABDICTED from inside the Station and for days, nobody knows where she is. She has been a vocal human rights activist, something that makes the son of Yoweri Museveni, Mr. Muhoosi, to shake with fear. Release this woman!
Is Israel above the law?
"Then you come and find somebody like Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel who is prosecuting a war which is not sanctioned by the UN, ignoring the decisions of the UN and even expelling bodies mandated by the UN from Gaza."
Every Kenyan now risks being jailed or fined heavily for using banned plastics, whether they know the rules or not.
The penalty? KSh2-4 million, 1-4 years in prison, or both for possessing or using certain banned carrier or flat bags without NEMA authorisation.
But here is the irony: NEMA can come down hard on the person holding a plastic bag, while Kenya still struggles with overflowing dumpsites, illegal dumping, polluted rivers and plastic reaching the Indian Ocean.
Nine years after the ban, these bags still flood markets and clog drains. Yet the law can place the heaviest burden on the last person holding the bag-often a poor trader or consumer.
You don't solve plastic pollution by making the smallest person in the chain the easiest target.
Choke the supply. Close the loopholes. Make alternatives affordable.
Environmental protection should punish pollution-not turn poverty into a criminal offence.
If you f*******cked up your finances in the past and now in your 30s or 40s you are wondering if it is TOO LATE to get your money back on track (it’s not)…
I hope you find my twitter account.
This is my story. Shot 3 times outside Parliament. Left for dead. Still here. Still fighting.
Thank you @citizentvkenya and @brendamulinya for telling my story. This means everything to me. 🙏

How dare this Kikuyu billionaire energy tycoon from Vietnam, Doanh Chau, President of the Vietnam Gas and Energy Science Group and founder of the Silicon Valley-based healthcare startup MED21, question our god-sent president, William Ruto so carelessly? He needs to get a life. 🙃 -Kenya Association of Affordable Bloggers (KAOAB)
Afisa wa DCI aliyekamata vifaa vya usajili wa wapigakura vya IEBC vilivyokuwa katika gari lililokuwa likielekea Uganda alionywa vikali kujiondoa katika suala hilo, la sivyo angehamishwa ndani ya wiki moja. Kama ilivyotabiriwa, afisa huyo alihamishwa siku chache baadaye hadi makao makuu ya DCI, ambako anahudumu hadi sasa.

Lugari, Kakamega County:
The OCS Lumakanda Police station, Chief Inspector Wycliffe Kwendo defiled a 16-year-old girl in Kambi Moto, Lugari Sub-County on Saturday night. He had earlier called the victim's parents and lied to them that there would be a multi-agency operation 🧵
John Muyeka is a 44-year-old Kenyan national who lived in Sayreville, New Jersey, before his extensive criminal record led to his arrest and eventual placement into the federal immigration deportation pipeline.
To evade law enforcement tracking across multiple states, Muyeka built a deep background using sophisticated identity forgery. He frequently operated under multiple stolen and fake names, with his most prominent confirmed aliases being "John Murunga" and "Daniel Okwiri". He leveraged his technical skills to manufacture high-quality fake driver’s licenses that matched these personas.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court, Starting in December 2013 and continuing through February 2017, Muyeka agreed to obtain merchandise or store credit from home improvement stores in locations along the eastern United States, including New Jersey, by purchasing items with fraudulent checks.
He would enter home improvement and other retail stores, gather several high-value items like air conditioners or hardwood flooring. He would typically “purchase” the items either by handing a cashier a fraudulent check with a phony name but authentic account and routing numbers, or by pretending to be an authorized signatory on a store credit account that the individuals had previously opened with a phony check.
During some of the transactions, the his conspirators would display fake driver’s licenses that had been created by Muyeka, which either duplicated the phony name imprinted on the fraudulent check they presented for payment or matched the name of an authorized signatory on a store credit account that they had previously opened.
In total, the conspirators allegedly stole over $2 million ( approx. 259.28 million Kenyan Shillings) in merchandise from various retailers in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and South Carolina.
Muyeka originally faced up to 20 years in a federal penitentiary for conspiracy and wire fraud charges. He ultimately pleaded guilty in a Newark, New Jersey federal court to misprision of a felony regarding his multi-million dollar check operation.
Because he negotiated a plea bargain down to one count of misprision of a felony, his maximum statutory exposure was capped at three years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine (approx. 32.38 million Kenyan Shillings) on October 15, 2019.
Because federal immigration laws strip non-citizens of their residency rights if they are convicted of aggravated felonies or crimes involving moral turpitude, his convictions permanently terminated his legal status in the U.S., resulting in his transfer to ICE custody for deportation to Kenya.
