Jekyll & Hyde.

[Gichuki Kahome @kahome_steve]

5 years ago, money market funds held 95% of every shilling sitting in Kenya’s collective investment schemes.

They were the default. The safe, boring, everybody-does-it option.

Today? They’re down to just 52%.

Special funds have quietly become the 2nd-largest CIS category in Kenya now ~24% of total industry AUM, having overtaken fixed income funds entirely.

At the current pace, they could be the #1 category by late 2028.

If Nairobians know what is good for us, that James Gakuya guy should not be voted in as our Governor. Mtu amejiweka Kwa billboards tangu July 2025 amepanga kuiba kila kitu.

KTN News decided to bless Ruto with a very good piece of his consistency in telling “alternative facts” and “Six months” promises.

The Gallery of Ruto lies it is. Wapi salute na makofi.

Revolutions are made by people who have done the math and concluded they have nothing left to protect.

The genius of late capitalism is that it never lets the math resolve that cleanly.

You have debt, yes, but you also have a 401k, small, underfunded, but real.

You have a mortgage that owns more of the house than you do, but it's still called "your house."

You have a job that could disappear tomorrow, but hasn't yet.

You have healthcare tied to that job, fragile, contingent, but present.

Every one of these is a small leash.

Not strong enough to make you safe.

Strong enough to make you cautious.

You're not trapped by chains.

You're trapped by a thousand small tethers, each one too minor to revolt over, all of them together heavy enough that you never do.

@droid254 All I'm saying is, when it's the common man vs the ruling class, the common man never wins. LLMs have been trained on this information, and it's just a machine with no feelings. The most predictable outcome is the status quo.

Can we go for one day without a githeri media headline trying to convince us of how privileged/lucky we are to have foreigners bribing homeguards for unfettered access to our lands?
This isn't the 1980s, we're not awed by backroom deals & intercontinental grovelling by nyaparas.

[°ed° 🇰🇪 @OneKenyan]

@l_afric @Gitz__ By that logic, should Kenyans abroad be forced to come back too?

[°ed° 🇰🇪 @OneKenyan]

@K24Tv On one hand, yes, early uncontrolled access to social media is not suitable for children. But on the other hand, the measures to regulate this usually involve disclosure of personal information linked to social media accounts. Which could be used to target dissidents.

[°ed° 🇰🇪 @OneKenyan]

@karani_i_am @Lsankei99 Good point. But we cannot blame foreigners for our government failures.

[°ed° 🇰🇪 @OneKenyan]

@Lsankei99 This narrative should die. We cannot afford to make enemies of our brothers and sisters in the EAC. The biggest issue is that the government of the day has failed to create jobs.

[°ed° 🇰🇪 @OneKenyan]

@fatcouchiee 100%. The book 'Why Nations Fail' by Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson is very clear about this. If we don't build strong systems and institutions, nothing is going to change.

@VictorNyakund10 No fears about a bubble in the global markets? Global stocks are massively overvalued. Look up the PE ratio on Space X and you'll see what I mean. All the same, I'm invested as well. Not advising against it. But also diversify.

Kenya will only get 3% of the $62.4 billion btw.

[Sholla Ard 🇰🇪 @sholard_mancity]

JUST IN: Kenya has reportedly signed a minerals deal with the US valued at $62.4 billion, with reports indicating the minerals will be processed locally.

That's about KSh 9.7 trillion.

Kenya's external debt? About KSh 5.7 trillion.

Imagine having a resource capable of wiping out nearly all foreign debt and still leaving trillions on the table.

Imagine future budgets where taxes fund development instead of interest payments.

Imagine a stronger shilling.

Imagine a government that sees national wealth and thinks "debt reduction."

Now stop imagining. Wake up.

We have leaders who see national wealth and immediately start thinking about new funds, new projects, new loans, how much they can steal, and new opportunities to eat.

That is why many resource-rich countries remain poor.

Anyway, let's stay guided. Jamaa wetu alienda kuuza minerals.
