@moneyacademyKE When a third, a quarter or even nearly half of your national budget goes to servicing old debt, you're no longer primarily budgeting for the future.
You're budgeting for the past.
Nations surrender fiscal space repayment by repayment, budget by budget, not overnight.
@moneyacademyKE National resilience is measured long before a crisis arrives, and Kenya is not prepared or ready for any crisis.
The countries that respond best to emergencies are usually the ones that prepared for them years earlier.
@moneyacademyKE Africa's richest man is building a second refinery.
By 2028, one private citizen could control refining capacity larger than the entire fuel-processing infrastructure of many African states combined.
Some governments exercise authority. Others create it.
@moneyacademyKE Let's think about this:
One refinery in Nigeria is now talking about supplying jet fuel to the world while some African countries (Kenya) still struggle to refine enough fuel for themselves.
The real African resource curse has always been exporting value and importing dependency.
Henry Wooster is the man that has set Haiti and Jordan on fire for the United States of America, and he has been nominated as the US Ambassador to Kenya.
Resist the destruction and desecration of our land by the US and its representatives!

@moneyacademyKE A country borrowing billions to fund budgets but failing to maintain its ownership stake in one of Africa’s most important development banks is very alarming.
Influence isn’t just lost on battlefields. Sometimes it disappears one missed payment at a time.
Finance Bill 2026: What Is Real, What Is Spin, What Is a Trap
The Finance Bill 2026 is before Parliament. Before you take a side, understand what it actually says, and what it deliberately obscures.🧵
16 girls are dead. 79 are injured. The fire started at 1:00AM. Help arrived at 3:30AM. One emergency exit was locked.
This is a policy failure with a body count.
🧵 Utumishi Girls Academy, Gilgil, what happened, and why it keeps happening.
Kijani Nuru Project mourns the sixteen girls lost in the Utumishi Girls Academy dormitory fire on May 28, 2026.
To their families, we grieve with you.
To the survivors, we stand with you.
To the nation, we will not let this be forgotten.
Rest in power.
Ruto will give a speech, and Ogamba will promise accountability.
In two years, another school. Another door. Another count.
Kenya has a government that decided 16 dead girls is an acceptable cost of doing nothing.
Say their names.
Every Quality Assurance officer who signed off on that dormitory in Utumishi Girls Academy signed those death certificates.
Every principal who locked that door at night knew the risk. Every PS who shelved that task force report chose the outcome.
Kenya wrote 68 fire safety recommendations after the last school fire. That was 2017.
Nine years later, CS Ogamba is standing at a crime scene calling it a tragedy.
It is a policy decision with a body count.
16 girls burned alive at Utumishi Girls Academy because a door was locked. Fire started at 1am. Emergency services arrived at 3:30am.
Two and a half hours.
Girls were jumping from upper floors because the exit was shut.
@MoraraKebaso Democracy didn't fail Kenya. Kenya's elites captured democracy before the poor could use it.
The vote isn't the problem. The man who buys it for 200 bob is.
@moneyacademyKE CBK wants to trade gold, hold platinum, and lend itself money for 3 years.
Meanwhile your savings account still pays 3%.
They're building a central bank hedge fund with your deposits as collateral.
They didn't just raise your taxes. They raised the cost of your phone, your M-Pesa, your rent, your animal feed, and your compliance burden, then called it revenue strategy.
Finance Bill 2026 is extraction dressed in technical language.
The fact that manufacturers can no longer claim input tax refunds on operational costs means this input VAT becomes a cost likely to be passed on to consumers.
The small-scale farmer who bought animal feed thinking it was zero-rated, the cost is still in the price.
