I had never seen such faces lining up for voter registration, nor have I seen them on a voting day. Kwani hizo siku zingine walikuwa wanajificha wapi. Enyewe Ruto ni Wantam 😂😂
South Africa's Nedbank (@Nedbank) has placed a Kes 110.39 billion (US$855.82 million) bid to acquire a 66.0% stake in Kenya's NCBA Group (@NCBABankKenya), a 1.4x price-to-book multiple.
The deal is expected to be consummated some time in Q3/2026.
I sat down with the Managing Director & CEO of NCBA Group, John Gachora (@JohnGachora), to whip through the offer & make sense of it.
A 🧵
How foolish can a government be to declare there’s no public holiday—insisting that everyone must report to work—yet at the same time, they block every major road in the country?
What kind of absurd, mindless governance is this? You tell people to go to work, but deploy battalions of police to erect roadblocks, barricades, and tear gas zones across highways, estates, and central business districts. Do you expect citizens to sprout wings and fly to the office? Are we birds now?
This isn’t just incompetence—it’s deliberate sabotage of ordinary lives. You cannot criminalize movement and expect productivity. You cannot pretend it’s business as usual while holding the nation hostage.
It’s either the government is completely out of touch with reality or it thrives on chaos. Either way, the joke’s on them—and it’s not funny anymore.
