Githu talking about reducing MPs is ok,but the rest is pure nonsense. Adding more offices, especially these handshake ones paid by us, just fattens the political class and locks in a permanent elite v mwananchi divide.Exactly how we end up with zero real opposition like right now

I met Dolly Parton once backstage at a concert. She was so incredibly gracious, warm, and kind to everyone. At one point, she leaned over to me and whispered "Ruto Must Go" Eternal rest to Dolly, she was such a darling and a legend!

[I @W_Asherah]

Full gaslight mode 😂😂😂

Your son, who is unelected, was "inspecting" ministries the other day. Minister akasema he has a right.

You're cutting trees everywhere, our environment be damned, and the whole country is up in arms.

Msee - enda home tu.

He's not done with our pockets and he keeps reminding us of that, yet there are people who still want him for a second term.

[Turner2😅 @Harrkejdj]

Same suit, same tie.... that's how much he's showing us the middle finger.

President Ruto terms Tuesday, June 25 events treasonous, vows expeditious response

[Tim Wafula @setanindeta]

Two campaigns. Two very different messages. Kenyans will decide which direction they want in 2027.

[Edwin Sifuna @edwinsifuna]

Our drive is to make sure that term ends in 2027.

Rainfall Outlook for the October-November-December (OND), 2026.

The Climate Outlook for the October–December 2026 “Short Rains” season indicates that above-average rainfall is expected over 80% of the Country.

Rainfall will continue in Western parts of Kenya and begin during the second and third week of October in other parts of the Country.

This season will be marked by prolonged wet spells and occasional isolated storms over several parts of the country.

The standing orders require that the head of state in an address to Parliament be heard in silence.

Two problems.

1. Ruto cannot be trusted to paint the true picture of the State of the Nation which as you know is dire.

2. I cannot sit quietly listening to lies.

For these reasons and out of respect for the institution of Parliament I shall not attend the state of the nation address.

As @wmnjoya has stated, it is contempt.

Ndii has a big problem with Kenyans, whether he consciously knows it.

Every single plan he has made, was with contempt for what he considers "upper deck". His definition of upper deck now covers the poor.

Why Kibaki and Kagame fired him

[Willis Evans Otieno @otienowill]

David Ndii’s proposal to pull university funding completely out of the national budget and push it into a market-funded model is not economic genius. It is an ideological gamble with an entire generation.

Education is not a private investment fund whose success should depend on whether capital markets find it attractive. Universities produce teachers, doctors, engineers, lawyers, researchers and scientists the human capital on which the economy itself depends. Treating that ecosystem as a commercial asset is a category error.

The infrastructure proposal is equally troubling: move commercially generating utilities out of the budget and finance them through an infrastructure fund that raises money from the market. Fine capital markets can finance infrastructure. But the moment essential public services become primarily beholden to investors, the governing objective shifts from public value to financial return.

Private capital has one fundamental obligation: returns to capital. Government has a different obligation: public welfare.

Kenya already has a higher-education financing crisis. The current model has struggled badly, and even the government is now redesigning it. The answer cannot be to run away from public responsibility and hand the financing of education to the market.

Ndii is not proposing a technical adjustment. He is proposing a philosophical transformation of the Kenyan state: turning public goods into investable assets and asking markets to determine what society can afford.

That is the kind of policy that can look brilliant on a spreadsheet while destroying social mobility in the real world.

You do not build a knowledge economy by making education hostage to the market. That is a generational fumble.

[gathara @gathara]

The proposal is a version of Ha-Joon Chang's "kicking away the ladder". Ndii's generation benefitted from publicly funded universities; having prospered through that system, they tell younger Kenyans the route is closed and education must be purchased individually through debt.
