Up next is Kenya, where Ruto will be up against… eh, we don’t know yet, but what most Kenyans feel is that even if a donkey were to run against him, the donkey would win.

(Apologies to all donkeys for the unfortunate comparison.)

Tjo, this Uganda election season is turning out to be worse than Tanzania’s. Bobi Wine is projected to win - kwa ground. However Mtandao, which is now shut down, says M7 is the leading horse in this race. Meanwhile, in TZ, no one understands how Mama BilaSuluhu won.

2025 African Startup Review: Unpacking Key Trends and Events - Startup Shutdowns

As 2025 comes to a close, the African startup ecosystem is ending the year with some hard conversations.

This week, we’re spotlighting one of the toughest themes of the year: startup shutdowns.

From fintech giants with multi-million dollar raises to edtech hopefuls backed by record pre-seed rounds, 2025 reminded us that funding alone is no shield.

We break down the stories behind the closures that shaped the year:

The full breakdown is live on Weetracker.

Kenyan lawyer Francis Wanjiku, a consumer rights and competition law advocate, has requested that the National Assembly's Finance and Privatisation committees scrutinise the sale of 15% of Kenya's shares in Safaricom, with a view to determining the transparency of the valuation process.

This follows national outcry over the sale process, with Standard Investment Bank being the latest party to state the shares were undervalued by 15.4%.

The National Assembly is currently on recess and will resume on February 10, 2026, while committee sittings will resume on January 26, 2026, at which point a way forward will be determined. WeeTracker will keep you updated as the situation unfolds.

As a Kenyan, this statement is worrying when you put it in the context of the fight for Kenya’s rightfully owned Indian Ocean stretch.

Ilhan has literally called us an ‘external threat’ & threatened to use US resources to fight us. Ma’am, this is NOT the way to go.

[Joe Rogan Podcast News @joeroganhq]

Ilhan Omar: "The U.S. government will only do what Somalians in the U.S. tell them to do. They will do what we want and nothing else. They must follow our orders."

🤣🤣🤣 Yes please!

At this rate, I’m like can we petition 50 Cent to do a documentary on Ruto?

This is a terrible sight to behold. Why allow people to build at the very site of crossing? Wildlife - the great migration is what sustains the Reserve. This issue has come in the media before but apparently nothing was ever done about it. REALLY why this?

[Wayua Muli 🇰🇪 @MizMuli]

@Son_of_Laikipia Not so much that they support each other; more that Githinji chooses miscreants because he has a file full of dirty secrets he can use against them should they even think of defecting.

This is the saddest thing. 😔

Emerging video evidence of what Tanzania’s police did to its citizens in the recent elections massacre is now revealing the extent of the deaths Samia SuluhuLess sanctioned.

And she has the guts to apologise and order an ‘inquiry’ into its cause, knowing she did that? How now?

I’m currently stuck at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), Surgical Ward 4C, and I honestly don’t know what else to do.

The SHA officer handling discharges at the 4D office is very rude, corrupt, and abusive.

Since yesterday, I’ve been waiting in line to have my child discharged.

This officer keeps ignoring the queue and only attends to people she personally calls aside - people she seems to know.

We’ve been here since yesterday, yet she just walks out, brings in others, processes them fast, and leaves the rest of us stranded.

When I politely told her that what she was doing was unfair, she got angry, banged her office door, and later called me in.

Inside, she fined me Ksh 2,070, saying my baby overstayed an extra day after discharge.

I immediately rushed to Malipo Center downstairs and paid the amount, but when I came back, she said she wouldn’t discharge my baby unless I wrote an apology letter to her, stamped by the area Chief!

I never insulted her or caused a scene - I only questioned her favoritism and suspicious behavior. Right now, my baby is being held at KNH just because I refused to bow to corruption and humiliation.

I’m pleading for help. Can the relevant authorities please intervene?

This is unfair, and no parent should go through this kind of frustration when their child is in hospital.

Here we are… now we know, fr fr, why @WilliamsRuto keeps pushing this ‘labour export policy’ ang’owa.

He and his family are making money directly from selling our young and/or desperate souls to foreign countries.

We have mega problems in this country, and alcohol is the least of them. In short, RUTO MUST GO! That is the long and short of it.

[KTN News @KTNNewsKE]

NACADA prohibits online alcohol sales, home deliveries, and distribution in supermarkets, petrol stations, restaurants, and similar outlets; forbids licensing of premises within 300m of schools.

@KijaniMan @edwinsifuna I had always had 2FA, and I have always been wary of clicking on strange links. This conundrum has kulad my kichwa for so many weeks mpaka I’m tired now.

.@edwinsifuna is clearly no longer toeing the general ODM line. I like this! 😄
