The reported award of a Ksh. 375 Billion contract to China Communications Construction Company for the expansion and modernization of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport is a massive infrastructure undertaking that must be subjected to the highest standards of transparency and value for money. Modernizing our critical aviation hub is essential for economic growth, but the proposed funding model of relying heavily on commercial loans backed by the Air Passenger Service Levy risks placing an unfair burden on Kenyan travelers and airlines. This levy must not become a hidden financial tool that inflates the cost of flying without delivering clear benefits to ordinary citizens.
The Law Society of Kenya calls for full public disclosure of the contract terms and procurement process to ensure absolute compliance with the Constitution and public procurement laws. We demand rigorous oversight to guarantee local content participation for Kenyan firms, alongside independent verification that this massive project delivers genuine value given the country’s debt sustainability concerns. Large scale infrastructure projects must serve the public interest and uphold the public finance principles under Article 201 of the Constitution. The @LawSocietyofKe will monitor this development closely and stands ready to take swift legal action on any constitutional violations that arise.

Fire your stylist ASAP!
Her taste in fashion is more pugent than body odour
If you have to swallow the punches
At least compensate with immpecable sartorial panache
It is our taxes paying for if anyway
Msituaibishe home and away!

The last underwear I bought was a blue underwear back in 1980 after hapo I just find new ones kwa nyumba . The only thing I buy myself are socks and thats because those guys come where men are .
But you have to understand that to get a kings treatment you have to create a palace ,queens dnt live in a circus .
Treasury CS John Mbadi has proposed KSh 3.9 billion as stipends for village elders. Let us be clear: nobody is dismissing the role village elders play in communities. They are important in local administration, conflict resolution and community mobilization.
But KSh 3.9 billion? In this economy?
Hospitals have no medicine. Patients are being told to buy gloves, syringes and basic drugs from outside. Teachers are underpaid, understaffed and overworked. Schools are struggling. Youth are jobless. SMEs are collapsing. Farmers are broke.
So how does a government look at all these national emergencies and decide that KSh 3.9 billion for village elders is the urgent priority?
This is not budgeting. This is political tokenism dressed as public service. It is money being pushed to the grassroots, not to solve structural problems, but to create loyalty networks ahead of political battles.
Are we serious as a country, or are we just watching public money being organized for politics in broad daylight?
Pursuant to Standing Order 53(1), I have sought a Statement from the Senate Committee on Energy regarding the reported non-disclosure of beneficial ownership in the sale of Kenya Pipeline Company shares.
Kenyans deserve transparency, accountability, and full disclosure on transactions involving strategic national assets. Public interest must always come before private gain.

@MwangoCapital Does this include the railway terminal linking the Airport to the CBD? Serious Airports around the World have this in place to ease movement of goods and people to and fro.
Kama itakaa hivi, it is most welcome.
A business neighbour who sells furniture was hit with a 40M KES tax demand.
Her PB rose so high she was admitted.
I don't know what's happening to this country.
The beyond-elasticity of law @KRACorporate board (led by chairman Ndiritu Muriithi) took to sweeten @PSCKenya into obvious nod for Adan Mohammed’s pick as KRA-CG. It’s telling how KRA, with mandate to appoint its CEO, have to purport to beg PSC to hire its CEO. Read the bloated lies about the candidates ability. Indeed, we are under a bandit leadership. As a country, we lost it long time ago. Hope the good people of Laikipia are reading …
🧵Nairobi has a comprehensive roadmap for its future: the NIUPLAN from 2014,prepared by JICA & officially approved by the Nairobi City County. Containing some of the most rigorous transport data analysis in the country. Let’s break it down (Transport Infrastructure).
Decades of growth destroyed in minutes. Giant lobelias, some of the rarest alpine plants are being damaged. This is heartbreaking for Kenya’s natural heritage.
@KWSKenya @Kenya_Forestry please step in.
The destruction of giant lobelias is unacceptable.
BREAKING: A Chinese company, CCCC, has reportedly been awarded the KSh375 billion JKIA upgrade tender.
This is the same company behind the SGR, Colombo Port City, and the Maputo-Katembe Bridge.
There is something I haven't seen discussed publicly, but I'll reveal part of it today.
During negotiations around Kenya's SGR financing by the Ruto govt, discussions included provisions that gave Chinese companies greater access to major Kenyan infrastructure projects. We obtained documents and information from that period, as well as details linked to newer arrangements.
That may help explain why more and more mega-projects continue to be awarded to Chinese firms, and even others taken away, e.g., from French contractors and handed to them. Expect this trend to continue.
On the positive side, Chinese companies are known for completing large infrastructure projects.
This is only a small part of what we know. We have more documents, more details, and more revelations that will come out in due time.

The President of Finland flew into Kenya via a scheduled Turkish Airways commercial flight in May 2025. President Ruto flew to Finland on a very expensive private charter jet in June 2026.
I was equally shocked to learn that the net minimum wage in France is
KSh 215,752 per month!
The French people are indeed suffering more than us!

I have a theory. Ni kama the medicine at KEMSA never really expires. They purchase drugs using taxpayer funds, they steal them and resell like 75-85%. Withhold the 15-25% until they expire. Then say that is proof that the whole batch expired and here is the sample for reporting.
