🚨 BREAKING: The Finance Committee led by Kimani Kuria & other UDA MPs has officially rejected a crucial proposal by the Controller of Budget (CoB) to vet, track, and approve withdrawals from the new Sovereign Wealth Fund.

Let this sink in. The CoB’s entire constitutional job is to make sure your tax money isn't misused before it leaves the account. Yet, MPs just voted to block her from having written authorization over these billions.

Look at exactly what they said NO to:

❌ No Written Sign-offs: They rejected letting the CoB approve withdrawals.

❌ Bypassing the Main Account: They refused to route the revenue through the Consolidated Fund first.

❌ Avoiding Full PFM Act Oversight: They blocked the full application of standard public finance accountability laws.

By bypassing Article 228 of the Constitution, this decision turns a national wealth fund into an unaccountable black box.

If the intentions for these billions are pure and there’s nothing to hide, why lock out the COB?

This is a terrifying precedent. What is the real motive behind locking out the nation's top financial watchdog?

Note: This has not been passed by the full Parliament yet. This is the time to speak up strongly; we should push for the CoB to have a meaningful say so that this national fund doesn’t become an accountability black box.

He was charged with destroying property allegedly worth KSh 41 million, yet he was released on a personal bond of KSh 100,000. Even the magistrate observed that the case appears to be a witch hunt and that the prosecution has no clear way of proving that the Speaker personally destroyed property worth KSh 41 million unless, of course, they are suggesting he used bombs.

I stand in full solidarity with the workers of @KisumuCountyKE who have chosen the constitutional path of peaceful picketing to demand payment of their hard earned salaries.

No worker should have to demonstrate to receive wages they have already earned. Paying salaries is a legal obligation, not an act of goodwill.

We must also confront a deeper question. Why are so many county governments consistently unable to pay workers on time? This is no longer an isolated problem. It points to systemic failures in public finance management, budgeting, prioritization, and accountability. Addressing the root causes is the only lasting solution.

I call upon the County Government of Kisumu to resolve this matter without delay and upon the @NPSOfficial_KE to protect the workers’ constitutional right to peaceful assembly under Article 37.

The dignity of labour must be respected. Workers deserve justice, not excuses.

Parliament does not belong to politicians. It belongs to the people of Kenya.

MPs occupy those seats as representatives, not owners. Their authority is borrowed from the sovereign will of the people and must always be exercised in the public interest.

The Constitution is not a gift from Parliament to the people. Parliament derives its legitimacy from the people.

[Okiya Omtatah Okoiti @OkiyaOmtatah]

A General Constitutional Test for the IMF Treaty

A treaty, statute, or international agreement amounts to a de facto constitutional amendment if it:

(a) removes a constitutional power from a constitutional organ;
(b) transfers that power to an entity not established by the Constitution;
(c) immunises the exercise of that power from constitutional scrutiny or judicial oversight; or
(d) fundamentally alters the relationship between the people and the institutions through which they exercise sovereign power.

Where any of these effects arises, the court must ask one question. Were the constitutional amendment procedures under Articles 255, 256, or 257 followed?

If the answer is no, then the measure is unconstitutional and invalid to the extent that it purports to alter the Constitution.

Kenyans are being asked to pay more taxes through the Finance Bill 2026, yet the 2026/27 Budget hides KSh 101.37 billion under a vague item called “Other Operating Expenses.” No programme. No purpose. No accountability.

Before taxing Kenyans another shilling, Parliament must clean up the budget. We cannot finance opacity with taxpayers’ sweat.

BREAKING: The Communications Authority has just raised many of the same warnings I raised about the Finance Bill 2026.

• It wants the proposed phone activation tax mechanism dropped, warning it creates major legal, operational, and privacy problems.

• It warns that taxing phones at activation could require tracking device activations, opening the door to serious data and surveillance concerns.

• It says making phones VAT-exempt will NOT necessarily make them cheaper because VAT costs remain embedded in the supply chain. Instead, it recommends full zero-rating. I exposed this earlier when government officials like Mbadi were claiming the opposite.

• It warns of higher transaction costs and increased costs across the digital economy.

• It warns that higher phone prices could push more people out of the digital space and slow digital inclusion.

In total, the CA raised 9 major concerns.

A few weeks ago, many dismissed these warnings by us as politics. Today, the country's own communications regulator is putting them on record before Parliament.

The debate is no longer whether these risks exist. The debate is whether parliament will act before the laws become law.

NB- The CA met the committee on finance and national planning yesterday, where they raised these issues.

[Stay Hidden @Stay_Hidden0]

By removing 47 redundant Women Representative seats and stripping all remaining MPs and Senators of 'hidden' perks and grants, limiting them to a fixed, transparent gross salary of KES 725,502

GoK can recover KES 44.7 Billion annually

[Edwin Sifuna @edwinsifuna]

The Ruto government is just too much. These guys wake up every single day just to conjure up more ways to cause pain to Kenyans. I know we are expected to keep government in check as opposition but it’s literally impossible to keep up with the breadth and depth of the capacity for evil these guys have. It doesn’t have to be like this bwana. When we tell you just kicking Ruto out solves 80% of our problems you best believe! Just like he did with Haiti and now Ebola, for the right amount, this one can sell us to the devil himself!

[Rapcha The Sayantist @IAMRAPCHA]

I'm now convinced if there was an asteroid headed straight towards America, and they requested for it to be directed elsewhere Ruto will suggest Kenya

A head of state who hates his country is a danger to all citizens

[Rasna Warah @RasnaWarah]

I said it before, am saying it again, one day someone will look at Kenya and say, here lie the ruins of a country destroyed by greed.

[Dusty Sahara @NoCountryHere]

Coincidence?
➣Endarasha sch is next to Kiganjo police college.
➢Utumishi girls is next to Gilgil barracks.
Twice, children are burnt to death @ night by 'unknown assailants' & subsequently, "prayer breakfasts" are led by the butcher-in-chief the morning after.
Time to wake up!

[Rasna Warah @RasnaWarah]

Is this the plan?
1. Kill agriculture
2. Kill the informal economy
3. Kill SMEs
4. Defund education and health
5. Kill the people
6. Share land and loot with foreign corporates.

[jacob juma @kabetes]

"Prayer Breakfast" to me is a ritual that is similar to devil worshipping. You can't mock God. I mean, do they pray to get energy to steal?

[Maxon Airo @MaxonAiro]

Lakini Kenya is a useless country bana. Taxes ni mingi kuliko tokens umelipia. 😅😅😅🤦‍♂️

[Sholla Ard 🇰🇪 @sholard_mancity]

Immediately the debate on fuel prices started in Parliament, most MPs allied to government quietly walked out.

Here is the picture.

That alone tells you their stand on the fuel crisis.

They know they would have to defend Ruto by defending these fuel prices which would have exposed how disconnected they are from ordinary Kenyans struggling with transport, food and electricity costs every single day.

So instead, they chose silence.

But silence is also a message.

And the painful part is this: Kenyans keep suffering while leaders avoid accountability right in front of us.
