Pushing on

[𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥🐉 @KatheuNzyimi]

I stopped negotiating with Uber drivers when it comes to prices. Initially, I used to do it ndio wanibebe but nowadays I just cancel and tell them good luck. The economy is fucking us both in the ass nanii I'll just tip the modest one, not the entitled one.

[Macharia Njeru @MachariaNjeru]

EPRA has slapped us with three new separate charges: Ksh 3.47/kWh for fuel costs, Ksh 1.23/kWh for forex losses, and a Ksh 0.0154/kWh for a water levy. Together, this adds a punishing Ksh 4.70 to every single unit of electricity with the heavy charges before factored in. This means a 20% to 30% spike above the normal power bills. A family buying Ksh 200 worth of tokens will get 6.4 units today, when that exact same Ksh 200 bought 8 units just last month. How did we, as a country, sit back and allow this economic plunder to happen?

A Nairobi lady has sued Safaricom PLC after her KSh 2,700, mistakenly sent via M-Pesa, was used to offset the recipient’s Fuliza debt.

Her reversal request was declined. She has now moved to the High Court challenging that policy as unconstitutional.

When I send money to someone, my intention is clear that I am transferring funds to THAT person. I am not entering into a contract with Safaricom to help them recover loans. I am not agreeing to become a guarantor. I am not volunteering to settle another adult’s overdraft.

How then does my money automatically clear someone else’s debt without my consent?

We must be very careful as a country not to normalise silent policies that shift financial burdens to third parties. Digital convenience should not override basic principles of fairness and property rights.

Yes, the recipient may have agreed to Fuliza terms. But I did not.And this is the core issue.

If money is mistakenly sent and reversal is denied because it has already been swallowed by a debt recovery system, then we are creating a dangerous precedent one where corporations quietly prioritise loan recovery over consumer protection.

At the very least, there should be a clear warning before completing a transaction:“The recipient has an outstanding Fuliza balance. Funds may be used to offset debt. Proceed?”

This case is bigger than 2,700 shillings. It is about how far automated financial systems can go without violating basic rights.

Kenya has ~1.8 million smallholder dairy farmers producing 80% of the country's milk.
Most wake up before dawn, feed their cows, milk by hand, & end the month with almost nothing to show for it.

Safaricom be like: Oh, you like this cheap bundle? Next time we'll hide it from the main page. Oh, you found it after multiple menus? Guess what, it now costs 10 bob extra. Oh, you paid for it 3 times after the price hike? Fuck you, the bundle no longer exists on offer for you.

There’s a girl who’s said “my parents sold everything so I can graduate. Now I have no job and they are broke. Maybe if I die tomorrow they will be given ksh 2 million and my death will be my gift to them”
