VERY PAINFUL!!😞😞😞😭
I am Francis Sakwa, a 66-year-old father of six from Butere, once a hardworking businessman trying to provide for my family. I lived with my wife and children in Nakuru, where we hustled daily to make ends meet. We only visited our rural home in Butere during school holidays, and even then, only after securing school fees for the next term. That was our family rhythm—stable, focused on the children’s future.

But one day, things began to change. My wife decided she would no longer travel home with us as a family. When I asked her, “What about if I die?” she replied coldly, “Nitakupeleka nikuzike na nirudi na watu wa kanisa (I will take you, bury you, and return with church members).” Those words disturbed me deeply. I consulted two elderly men, respected and older than me, for advice. They warned that it could mean either family members involved in witchcraft or, worse, that my wife had another man coaching her, planning to leave me soon.

Fear of abandonment gripped me. To protect myself and secure my family’s future in case she left, I decided to marry a second wife. This decision did not sit well with my first wife. She consulted her friends, who told her to stay calm—they would help bring me back to her.

What followed was a betrayal I never saw coming. They went to the school where my children studied, colluded with the administration, and fabricated a horrific defilement case against me using my own daughter, who was in STD 6 at the time. The school took her straight to the police, then to hospital, where the case was carefully cooked up. I was arrested in 2015 and charged with defiling my own child.

I was never subjected to any medical examination to confirm or clear me. The doctor who actually examined my daughter was different from the one who testified in court. The medical report noted that the hymen was broken but no sperm was found. Even my daughter confirmed in her statement that neither her clothes were torn nor was there any blood. The truth is, I was never alone at home with her—my wife always prepared the children for school before we both left for our daily hustle. There was simply no opportunity for what they accused me of.

Yet none of this mattered. I was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. I have now spent 11 long years at Nakuru Main Prison, waiting for the judgment on my appeal, still hoping and praying to be set free and reunited with my family.

My name is Francis Sakwa. I am not a criminal. I am a father who worked hard, loved his children, and made one fearful decision that was twisted into a weapon to destroy me. I maintain my innocence to this day. I pray that justice will finally see the full truth the collusion, the false evidence, and the broken family behind it all. One day, I hope to walk out of these prison gates a free man.

Do you think Sakwa is innocent and he should be free?

Dozens were killed during protests in Kenya earlier this summer, with the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights accusing police of using excessive force and live rounds on mostly peaceful protesters. I asked Kenya’s President @WilliamsRuto about this – see his response.

Credible Reports: Some oil marketers are refusing the One Petroleum dirty fuel.
🫆Trade CS Kinyanjui waived quality standards to release substandard petroleum into Kenya’s market.
🫆Now there’s some “fuel shortage” because some intelligent dealers won’t touch it.
🫆This is the Mohammed Jaffer’s MT Paloma scandal in real time. Consumers will NOT pay the price for corrupt procurement.
🫆The dirty fuel should be immediately withdrawn from all non-compliant fuel stocks

Dear @Safaricom_Care:
If someone is on postpaid package and they fail to renew or pay on time, you disconnect your service. They can't use data or make calls. If they don't renew for successive months, you still bill them for the postpaid service they didn't use except receive calls. Why require them to pay for the airtime and data bundles they did not use when YOU had disconnected your service - without availing the same resources to them upon reconnection? Isn't this fraudulent, oppressive and unethical business? Cc @CA_Kenya

Dennis Njuguna, aka Cokora wa Nairobi, has landed in some deep shiet!

On Monday this week, while driving along Thika Road with his crew, he spotted a car being driven recklessly. Fearing it could cause an accident, he blocked it. The driver turned out to be a 20-year-old with no license. A commotion broke out, and as a crowd began to gather, Cokora feared the young man might face mob justice. He stepped in, placed him in the boot of his car for safety, and drove him to Juja Police Station.

He recorded an OB, but just as they were about to leave, things took a sudden turn ,they were detained and accused of abduction. Meanwhile, the same driver they had taken to the station was released immediately.

Yesterday, the matter was settled after they paid the boy’s family KSh 25,000. But unexpectedly, a new charge of robbery with violence emerged, and he was detained again. This morning, he is at Thika Law Courts, still unaware of who the complainant is.

[Cyprian, Is Nyakundi @C_NyaKundiH]

Ruto’s biggest problem is that he hears every public complaint as an election threat and his "debe talk"

Kenyans say fuel is too expensive, he says ballot.
Kenyans say the cost of living is unbearable, he says ballot.

Kenyans say stop police brutality and arrogance in government, he says ballot.

Why is this man so obsessed with elections and winning? What do Kenyans’ daily struggles have to do with his campaign psychology?

The truth is simple that elections are not a licence for leaders to ignore the public until the next vote. Citizens have a right to speak, to protest and to demand accountability in between elections.

When a president answers pain with campaign language, he exposes himself and It means he is thinking more about political survival than public suffering.

Kenyans are not your campaign audience every day please. They are citizens and when they are angry, you do not lecture them about the next election.

There at KTN, they have now “unmasked” Opiyo Wandayi, Junet Mohamed, and John Mbadi on this fuel prices debate

Buana, that journalist is using 2024 clips from when the so-called broad-based experts were, somehow, real experts.

And to make it worse, he compares them, plus their captain, President Ruto, to football spectators who shout from the stands, but when given a chance to play, they start blaming the pitch and say the ball haikuwa na pooms.

You people should start watching that segment more often.

When Uhuru left power, NSSF was at flat rate of KSh 200. For Ruto, it's 6% on the employer side and 6% on the employee side.

When Uhuru was leaving power, the dollar was KSh 118. Ruto took it to 160 and brought it down to 129.

When Uhuru was leaving power, petrol was going for KSh 158 with subsidy. Ruto took it to 217, brought it down to 178, and now it’s at 198 with subsidy.

When Uhuru was leaving power, the maximum NHIF contribution was KSh 1,700. For Ruto, it's 2.75% of your salary.

During Uhuru’s time, KSh 100 would give you about 6 KPLC units of tokens, but under Ruto you now get about 3 units for the same amount.

During Uhuru’s time, VAT across key sectors was 8%, but under Ruto it has gone up to 16%.

For Uhuru, affordable housing meant no deductions on your payslip, but under Ruto, you now have an additional mandatory deduction.

Despite all this, borrowing hasn’t stopped. In fact, it has picked up.

So, how has Ruto reduced the cost of living ?🤔

I sat in the committee room yesterday reading emails between ORYX ENERGY LTD and the Ministry of Energy officials, including the Cabinet Secretary, and I was shocked to discover that they were all in agreement to import fuel at USD 253.94 per MT—while the same government they serve imports fuel at USD 84.00 per MT. If OMCs are not taking advantage in cohorts with ministry officials, who is fooling whom? This is an artificial get‑rich‑quick scam orchestrated by a fuel cabal! We are not stupid—only for the deal to be cancelled at the last minute when a shipment of substandard fuel imported by ONE PETROLEUM LIMITED arrived and was offloaded, costing Kenyans the equivalent of USD 198,855 per MT—still USD 114 more per MT than the government’s own G‑to‑G rate.

EPRA April 15 Fuel Review: What Figures Reveal and Why Gulf Energy Will Pocket Minimum Sh6B!
🟣 VAT reduced from 16% to 13% via Legal Notice No.69 dated 14th April 2026 — a govt cushioning measure
🟣 Govt deploying Sh6.2B from the Petroleum Development Levy (PDL) Fund to stabilise prices
🟣 One Petroleum/MT Paloma fuel excluded from the computation of applicable prices
🟣 Landed cost increases: Super Petrol +41.53% (US$582.11 → US$823.87/cubic metre), Diesel +68.72% (US$636.45 → US$1,073.82), Kerosene +105.15% (US$639.48 → US$1,311.93)

The contradiction CS Wandayi must answer:
🔴 The Govt rejected One Petroleum fuel to protect consumers from a Sh14 increase.
🔴 It then accepted Gulf Energy fuel that cost consumers Sh28–40 more
🔴 GoK is now raiding a public fund to partially offset a price surge caused by its own procurement choice.
🔴 Save for its contamination, the cheaper fuel was already in the country. The expensive fuel was the preferred alternative.
🔴 At Kenya’s monthly consumption of ~450M litres, a Sh14–26 overpricing gap represents Sh6–12B per month flowing somewhere beyond what One Petroleum or equivalent like Oryx would have cost.
🔴 Government cut VAT by 3% and deployed KSh 6.2B in subsidies — not to protect consumers from the market, but to obscure the cost of a procurement decision that benefited a specific notorious favored govt supplier over another.
🔴 Someone chose the expensive fuel. Someone is pocketing the difference.
🔴 CS Wandayi must tell Kenyans why Gulf Energy (owned by someone you see on TV everyday) preying on Kenyans

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.

Yesterday, in Wangige, IEBC officials locked out Kenyans seeking to register as voters.

Their main excuse is that they were unprepared for the huge number that turned out.

Kenyans were forced to go back home unregistered.
