KeNHA has disclosed a second 30-year PPP for the A8 corridor, awarding Shandong Hi-Speed the 94km Gilgil–Nakuru–Mau Summit section at a toll tariff of KES 8.50 per kilometre.

This follows the 24 June award of the 139km Rironi–Gilgil and Rironi–Maai Mahiu–Naivasha sections to the CRBC–NSSF consortium at KES 8.00, bringing the combined privately financed corridor to 233km, with both concessions structured on a DBFOMT basis and the assets reverting to KeNHA after 30 years.

Sasa ndio natoka kwa maofakado.

Today, I was training hass avocado farmers on eTIMS.

Their good export dealer had organized this crucial training for them.

If there are people who genuinely need to understand eTIMS implications, it is our great farmers.

Why?

The produce buyers simply tell them. Sishabula tuletee eTIMS invoice ndio tukulipe pesa yako.

So the farmers run to cyber and comply. But very few understand what happens next.

At the end of the year, KRA can clearly see, through eTIMS, that you sold avocados worth 1 million.

But because no one taught the farmer bookkeeping, they never ask for eTIMS invoices when buying:

• Fertilizer.
• Seedlings.
• Farm chemicals.
• Farm equipment.
• Labour.
• Transport.

Their costs remain invisible. But their sales are fully visible.

Then trouble begins.

KRA sees the 1 million in sales. But sees almost zero deductible costs.
It is almost as if the avocados fell from heaven.

So KRA treats your profit as 1 million.
Then demands about 30% income tax.
That is a whopping Kh 300,000 tax.

But the farmer does not have that kind of money. The money already went into fertilizer, workers, transport and preparing crops.

The farmer is then left in the harassing hands of KRA.

If there is one group of people that deserves intensive training on eTIMS and bookkeeping, it is our farmers.

Please enlighten the farmers in your community.

They feed us all.

Margaret, 90, had gotten outside twice before her son Keith installed cameras. He expected to find footage of the problem.
He found something else. Every single night for nine months their golden retriever Flynn had already been at the front door before Margaret reached the hallway.
Blocking. Redirecting. Taking her sleeve and guiding her back to bed. Thirty-seven documented nights. Not once had she made it outside. Margaret's neurologist watched the recording and said: "I have worked in memory care for twenty-three years. Flynn is performing structured redirection. He built every component of it on his own." Keith said: "He figured it out the first night."

If a Kikuyu, Luo, Kalenjin, Luhya, Mswahili, and Somali all got hired on the same day at Kenya Ports Authority, Mombasa, and you went back to check on them after 10 years, this is what you would find:

KIKUYU 🐝

✅ Owns a three-bedroom in Shanzu. Title deed in his name. Family settled, children in a private school nearby. He hardly goes to his village. Mombasa became home!

✅ Has two rental units in Kisauni already generating income. A matatu on the Likoni route with a trusted tout managing it.

✅ Drives a 1300cc EFI. Clean. Paid for in cash.

✅ His idea of a night out is meeting one old friend at a local leaking joint, splitting a quarter kilo of nyama choma, and arguing over land prices in Ruiru over two cold Tuskers.

✅ He is already planning to quit KPA.

LUO 👑

✅ Lives in a five-bedroom house in Nyali. Rent is 85,000 a month. The sitting room has a chandelier.

✅ Drives a 4000cc V8 on a loan that still has six years to run. The car turns heads. That is the point.

✅ No land. No rentals. Has a savings account he has never saved in.

✅ Is the Chairman of the KPA Workers Union. Has called eleven strikes in ten years. Nine of them were about Kikuyus being promoted unfairly. He sings TUTAM in meetings!

✅ His Friday night involves ten friends, a table full of beers, music that makes conversation impossible, and a very loud argument about how Raila would have been the greatest president Africa ever produced.

✅ Genuinely believes the Kikuyu guy in accounts is stealing. Has no evidence. Does not need any. But he believes they were born thieves!

KALENJIN 🏃

✅ Family is in Kericho. He is in Mombasa. This arrangement makes complete sense to him.

✅ His 1300cc car is also in Kericho. He takes buses.

✅ Has quietly bought 37 acres near Londiani. Does not talk about it.

✅ Drinks beer slowly, alone or with one or two clansmen, in a corner of a quiet bar. The conversation is mostly about home. He is already mentally back in the Rift.

✅ Regularly wonders why they built the port in Mombasa and not somewhere more sensible, like Kericho.

LUHYA 🎵

✅ Has one wife in Bungoma and one wife in Mombasa. Both know about each other. Neither is happy. He manages.

✅ Has been waiting seven years for another Luhya to become MD so things can finally go his way. There have been two Luhya MDs. Neither remembered him.

✅ No savings. No land. But he knows every Lingala song released between 2015 and today, and there is always a sweet sixteen somewhere who thinks he looks important.

✅ Looks at the Kikuyu's rental houses with genuine admiration and zero plan to replicate them.

✅ His budget does not survive the third week of any month.

MSWAHILI 🌊

✅ Has never lived anywhere else. His grandfather worked at the port. His father worked at the port. He works at the port. This is simply how things are done.

✅ Lives in the family house in Mvita, Old Town. The house was built in 1962. He sees no reason to move.

✅ Does not hustle. Does not plan. Believes strongly that riziki inatoka kwa Mungu and that rushing is a sign of poor upbringing.

✅ Has a small shop downstairs run by his wife. The shop has been open since 1987. The stock has not changed much since then either.

✅ Genuinely confused why the Kikuyu is always running somewhere. Kwani where is he going?

✅ Spends evenings at the baraza with elders drinking kahawa chungu and discussing how Mombasa was better before everyone else arrived.

✅ Still waiting for his cousin's friend's brother to finalize paperwork on a piece of land in Likoni. The cousin says it is almost ready. It has been almost ready for four years.

SOMALI 🐪

✅ Was hired at KPA but stopped showing up after three months. Nobody is quite sure when he left or how. But everyone suspects he gets paid.

✅ Currently owns a money transfer business, a wholesale shop in Eastleigh, a small logistics company operating between Mombasa and Garissa, and a share in a fuel depot.

✅ Drives a clean Prado. Cash.

On March 26, 2026, during a debate on violence against women in Germany’s Bundestag, left-wing MP Kathrin Gebel was repeatedly interrupted by AfD MP Martin Reichardt. She responded:

“Mr. Reichardt, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you’re still more sensitive. That’s quite an achievement.”

Titus Njari Ndei, 41, led Kitengela landlords to build their own private sewer line after years of sanitation problems in the fast-growing town.
With the population ballooning, property owners had relied on expensive septic tanks that often overflowed and posed health risks.

Frustrated by the Kajiado County Government’s failure to provide a lasting solution, the landlords decided to take action.

The push started in 2013 when the county sued 22 plot owners for discharging raw sewage, contrary to the Public Health Act. They were released on bonds of KSh 180,000–200,000.

Two months later, the accused landlords mobilized under Engineer Ndei and registered the Kitengela EPZ Neighbouring Community Sewer Project. They secured approvals from EPZA, NEMA, and other authorities, then funded a KSh 85 million, 45-kilometre, 2-foot-wide sewer line running to the Athi River EPZ trunk sewer.

The project was funded by hundreds of landlords contributing KSh 250,000 each plus a KSh 1,000 registration fee, and paying EPZA tariff fees ranging from KSh 7,500 to KSh 74,000.

The completed sewer now serves 818 landlords and has eased the burden of paying KSh 200,000 every 2-3 weeks to the county for waste disposal. Ndei says the community initiative gives residents a chance to manage sanitation sustainably.

[Geoffrey Mosiria @HonMosiria]

Tonight, I received a call from concerned neighbours in Umoja 3 reporting a case of a 6-year-old girl who had allegedly been badly assaulted by both her father and mother and was said to be in a very poor condition.

Together with police officers from Maji Police Station, we visited the home to establish the facts. Upon arrival, we found both parents, but the child was nowhere to be seen. The father told us that he had taken the child back to their village in Kisumu the previous day. He admitted that he had assaulted her and claimed that this was the reason he had sent her away.

However, neighbours informed us that the father had hidden the child after learning that we were coming to rescue her. I asked him to make a phone call so that we could confirm whether the child was indeed in the village. He hesitated and eventually called his sister. When I spoke to her, she confirmed that the child was actually at her house in Umoja, just a few metres from where we were. It became clear that the father had lied to us.

We immediately proceeded to the location and found the child. What we witnessed was heartbreaking. The young girl had clearly been assaulted, with wounds and marks all over her back and hands. The father attempted to justify his actions by claiming it was discipline.

While at the police station, we discovered even more disturbing information. The child had a burn injury on her hand, and she told us that her mother had burnt her with a hot knife. She even demonstrated how it had happened. The mother was also taken in for questioning.

The police immediately arrested the father, and investigations are now ongoing. The case will be forwarded to the Children's Department for further action to ensure the child's safety and welfare. The parents will also face the law for the abuse inflicted on this innocent child.

It is deeply heartbreaking to see a child subjected to such cruelty by the very people who are supposed to protect and care for her. No child deserves to go through such suffering.

I appeal to everyone: please do not keep quiet when you witness or suspect child abuse. Report it immediately. You can also reach out to me so that together we can protect vulnerable children and ensure they receive the care and justice they deserve.

Protecting children is a responsibility we all share.

[L. @lola_oyetoro]

Jonasi Gomora was operating on a level of madness that deserves academic study. 😭😂

This man was sleeping with his brother’s girlfriend/side chick, got his wife to sign divorce papers, reconciled with her immediately after, dumped the side chick after reconciling with his wife and children, went back to the side chick, got her pregnant with twins, then moved on to his daughter’s friend — a girl who was practically a daughter in the household.

As if that wasn’t enough, he was also sleeping with his brother’s wife… who later turned out to not actually be his brother’s wife but his childhood lover and original second wife, with whom he had a grown daughter. The child everyone thought belonged to his brother was actually his. 😭

What’s truly insane is that Joyce (his wife) and us, the viewers, were discovering these secrets together. Every episode felt like a group therapy session where we all found out our husband was mad at the exact same time. 😂😭

His approach to life was simple:

You’re pregnant? Children are a blessing.

You want to get married? No problem.

You lost a baby? You’ll heal and have another.

Got an STI? “I’m not dying today.” 😂

Need a house? Done.

Flowers? Absolutely.

You won’t give him what he wants when he’s in the mood? He has hands. 😭😂

You point a gun at him? Obviously you’re trying to kill yourself because his delusional mind cannot comprehend that anyone would want to kill him. You love him too much. 😭

It takes a truly dangerous level of grandiosity to look at a woman actively plotting your downfall and conclude:

“Poor thing. She’s struggling with the thought of losing me.”

😭😭😭

The moment you become an obstacle, he’s already onto the next woman.

You know a man is Evil Pro Max when all the women involved eventually stop competing with one another and start comforting each other.

At some point, the wives, exes, side chicks and baby mamas all realized they were victims of the same community project. 😭

And the replacement cycle was legendary:

Essie (his childhood lover and original second wife) was replaced with someone younger.

Joyce (his wife) was cheated on with someone younger.

Matipa (the side chick with the twins) thought she had won and secured her place as second wife, only to discover she was actually third wife… and then got replaced by someone even younger — his daughter’s friend. 😭😭😭

Every woman thought she was different.

Every woman thought she was the exception.

Every woman eventually discovered she was part of a rotation.

The man wasn’t building relationships.

He was running a relay race. 😂😭

The only people this weyrey didn’t sleep with were the maid, the mother-in-law, and us the viewers. 😭

Very, very mad man.

But beyond the madness, the writers did something remarkable with this series. What could have been a simple story about infidelity became a fascinating study of narcissism, manipulation, ego, power, and the emotional damage one charismatic man can leave in his wake.

The most impressive thing wasn’t even Jonasi’s endless scandals. It was how every woman was written with enough depth that you understood why she stayed, why she left, why she forgave, or why she fought.

You spend the entire series angry at Jonasi, shocked by Jonasi, laughing at Jonasi, and somehow still waiting to see what fresh nonsense Jonasi will do next.

The man is exhausting.

The writing is addictive.

And the chaos is elite.

Now I hear the series is based on a novel.

I must find it and read it because clearly the author woke up one day and decided peace was overrated. 😭😂
