@kiruti Just attend a proper middle class/ upper middle class event and look at the women. Many wear that brand. You can identify it for sure.
As for the sales, I can't talk on the margins but I have seen many women rock their attires.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino personally went to Miami to publicly announce that Inter Miami had qualified for the Club World Cup. It was an arbitrary decision with no qualification criteria and the first time FIFA had ever announced a host club’s qualification in that manner for one of its own tournaments.
And people still tell us FIFA doesn’t favour Messi?
That insults our intelligence.
After SACCOs, Banks And M-Pesa Are Next As Kenyans Become Guarantors For A Debt Crisis They Never Ate
Kenyans must stop asking why Kenya has not defaulted and start asking who is being prepared to carry the default when the music finally stops.
Ghana was here.
Sri Lanka was here.
Zambia was here.
Argentina was here.
Lebanon was here.
The script is always the same, because a broke government borrows until lenders get tired, taxes until citizens are dry, leans on banks until credit disappears, pushes pain into pensions and domestic savings, then tells the public that sacrifice is needed to save the country.
That is why the SACCO story should scare Kenyans more than they currently seem scared, because SACCO savings are not government money, they are the private sweat of teachers, police officers, nurses, farmers, matatu people, boda riders, mama mbogas, small traders and workers who ran there after banks abandoned them.
In every default story, the government does not stand alone at the edge of the cliff, because it drags citizens there as guarantors through inflation, taxes, currency pain, bank losses, pension restructuring, frozen credit and forced patriotic nonsense dressed up as national recovery.
Banks already formed a comfortable debt circle with government, where lending to Treasury became safer and sweeter than lending to SMEs, which slowly choked biashara, starved the real economy and turned ordinary Kenyans into beggars inside their own banking system.
Now the same government that fed banks with public debt is walking into SACCOs, looking at the last pool of money ordinary Kenyans still controlled after taxes, deductions, mobile money charges, fuel prices, school fees and rent had already eaten their pockets.
The anus cannot be stitched to stop diarrhoea.
A debt crisis cannot be solved by raiding SACCOs, squeezing banks, eyeing M-Pesa, selling public assets and pretending that every desperate grab is an infrastructure plan.
Ghana called it domestic debt exchange.
Sri Lanka called it restructuring.
Argentina called it emergency controls.
Lebanon left people staring at bank balances they could not freely touch.
Kenya will give it a cleaner name, maybe national development, domestic resource mobilisation, infrastructure financing or patriotic investment, but the meaning will be the same.
The citizens are being prepared as guarantors for debts they never ate.
Kenyans are not angry enough, because if they understood where this road ends, they would know SACCOs are not the final target, they are the warning shot before banks, M-Pesa and every private pool of money still breathing outside Treasury’s hands.
The money is finished.
I used to buy those cheap sunglasses from the roadside all the time and always thought, "What's the point of buying expensive ones? I'm going to loose them anyway." Then one day, I gathered the courage and bought an expensive sunglasses. And guess what? I still have them. I've taken care of them ever since.
That's when I realized those cheap sunglasses weren't getting lost because they were cheap? They were getting lost because I didn't value them enough to care. It's hard to accept, but sometimes in someone else's story, you are that cheap pair of sunglasses.
That time they arrested Lichuma from Mathare social justice, threw him on a lorry. High above them, he proceeded to give them a few truths on why Kenyans are protesting. Waliaibika mpaka akashuka.
🚨 NEW: Imagine checking your payslip, seeing Sacco deductions every month, then discovering you're blacklisted because the money was never remitted.
A new report shows Kenyan State agencies failed to remit Sh51.965 billion in statutory deductions by March 2026.
🔹 Sh9.21 billion owed to Saccos
🔹 Sh2.54 billion in pension arrears
🔹 Nearly Sh40.2 billion in salaries and personnel-related obligations
Think about the madness.
You take a Sacco loan. The deductions leave your salary every month. But the money is never forwarded. You get penalties, your credit suffers, and you're treated as if you failed to pay.
Not because you refused to pay.
Because someone else failed to remit what was already deducted from your earnings.
While the same UDA leaders preach "law and order," thousands of workers could be left carrying the consequences of mistakes they didn't make.
Dennis Itumbi, Head of Presidential Special Projects in Kenya's State House, shared a photo on X claiming to show world leaders at the 2026 G7 Summit. It contains at least four verifiable red flags.
A fact-check🧵
Three protesters shot dead in Nanyuki. Students shot inside their own hostel at Multimedia University.
Hooded, unidentifiable officers firing live rounds on unarmed Kenyans.
This is not law enforcement. This is the constitution being violated in broad daylight.
As we approach the 2nd anniversary of June 25, we must refuse to normalise what we are witnessing.
Accountability is not optional. It is what justice looks like in practice.
Here is my statement on the current pattern of violence by the Police:
