Whoever comes next will not depart from the pattern.
We are not shocked that after the Somali referee was denied entry into the United States, the next convenient story is now trying to link him to Al Shabaab.
This is the same old script powerful countries use whenever they need to justify humiliation, discrimination, exclusion or violence against people they have already decided to punish.
Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when America needed a war, and Libya was presented as a humanitarian rescue before the bombs fell and the country collapsed into chaos.
Whenever they need public sympathy for a questionable decision, they first manufacture a security cloud using words like terrorist, extremist, threat, militant links and national security concern.
Those labels are designed to make ordinary people stop asking questions, because once someone is branded a security risk, many people assume there must be something hidden.
If there is real evidence against the referee, let them produce it openly and allow the world to examine it instead of hiding behind vague border language.
If there is no evidence, then they should stop using security propaganda to cover a broken, humiliating and discriminatory visa system that treats Africans like suspects.
Africa has watched this movie before, and every time the powerful side needs an excuse, the script somehow ends with fear being manufactured.
Ramadan Mubarak to everyone. This blessed month is a time of reflection, growth, and renewal, a month where many Muslims strive to become better, stronger, and closer to their faith. Wishing all Muslims around the world a peaceful and blessed Ramadan. May it bring mercy, guidance, and positive change to us all.
KRA has clarified something many employed Kenyans ignore.
They are shocked.
In simple terms.
If you are employed and you have a side hustle, you must report ALL your income in your usual annual tax return.
Not salary alone.
For example
- You earn a monthly salary, PAYE deducted
- You freelance on weekends
- You run a small online business
- You farm in ushago
- you own houses and earn rental income
KRA wants you to add everything together. And pay taxes on these additional incomes.
Why?
- Because PAYE only taxes your salary.
It does not “close” your tax affairs.
Taxes on the rest of the incomes are left hanging.
What people wrongly assume:
- “PAYE is final”
- “Side hustle money ni kidogo sana”
- “After all, how will KRA notice or catch me?”
But in reality
- Some banks report you to KRA thro CRS
- Platforms like Airbnb, Upwork , et al, report you to KRA
- Tenants report you to KRA
- The salty ex you dumped because she was boring reports you to KRA
- Digital trails exist
Result
- Unreported income attracts penalties & interest
- Audits years later = painful tax bills
- Maximum chest pain.
In simple, KRA's position is:
- One person.
- One PIN.
- One tax return.
- Report everything.
- Pay tax on everything
That's the law.
Ibrahim waited decades for a child.
Musa waited years in exile.
Yusuf waited in prison.
Yaqub waited with blind eyes.
Ayyub waited through pain.
Nuh waited a lifetime.
Their waiting wasn’t wasted.
Waiting is one of the quietest forms of ‘ibadah—because even in silence, you’re saying: “I trust Allah.”
And when the wait ended, Allah rewarded them beyond imagination.
A happy marriage isn’t about fancy dinners or perfect photos. It’s about two people who fear Allah, forgive often, communicate sincerely, and choose each other every single day even when it’s hard.
🧵While on the road I usually have dinner alone. Yesterday two young men broke this self-imposed tradition when they came to say hello, inviting themselves to my table. They had something they needed to get off their chests. Lighthearted banter turned to something more serious; cancer.
Hard earned money is not loud, actually you’re paranoid of showing off in case ipotee because you know the effort it takes to make it.
Shortcuts in life exists, as a young person don’t be led by greed, as shortcuts could easily cut short your life.
Nobody grew up with intentions of being a cleaner, shelf packer, cashier, security guard, taxi driver, car cleaner or store general worker. We all had big dreams but life happened. Respect people's jobs
