Interesting to see Kenyan youth stepping into the tech and creator economy space with platforms like UrbanTok.
I think local innovation deserves a chance, especially in a time when many African creators rely heavily on foreign platforms for visibility and monetisation.
The digital economy is growing fast, and more local solutions could help create opportunities to understand African audiences and creators better.
Wishing the team behind UrbanTok growth and success as they continue building the platform.
๐ฐ๐ช The Future is Homegrown: Welcoming Kenyan Social Media Platform #UrbanTok! ๐ฐ๐ช
A massive milestone for Kenyaโs digital economy! The much-anticipated Kenyan social media platform, UrbanTok, has officially been launched by Information, Communications, and the Digital Economy Cabinet Secretary Hon. @honkabogo and Investment, Trade, and Industry Cabinet Secretary Hon. @GovLeeKinyanjui .
This launch is a powerful reminder of why indigenous digital platforms are absolutely critical for our nation:
๐ True Monetization: For too long, Kenyan creators have struggled with external algorithms and foreign payment gateways to earn from their hard work. UrbanTok is designed to put monetization directly into the pockets of our local talent seamlessly.
๐ Unbridled Innovation: Built by Kenyans for the world, this platform caters directly to our unique culture, humor, and storytelling while operating on cutting-edge digital infrastructure.
๐ Digital Sovereignty: Developing our own digital spaces ensures we retain our economic value, data, and cultural narratives right here at home.
At the heart of this innovation is the brilliant mind behind UrbanTok, Naftalie Nyabuto, whose vision is shaping a platform that empowers Kenyan creators and redefines our digital future.
When our leaders champion local tech, it paves the way for thousands of youth to turn their creative passions into sustainable, high-paying careers.
Let us get behind our own! Download, interact, and letโs take UrbanTok to the global stage!

Cabinet secretaries who were driven to work in guzzlers were all jobless by sunset and had to drive themselves back home. How have things been for the former CSs a day after they were caught unaware by President Ruto's move to dissolve the cabinet?

EXCLUSIVE: CNN watched as Kenyan security forces shot dead at least 3 protesters outside the Kenyan parliament on Tuesday.
I saw Ericsson Kyalo Mutisya, 25 dancing in white overalls. Shots rang out shortly after that and I saw his body. He wasn't the only one
Remain FOCUSED.
Refuse to be distracted.
Dishonourable MPs are splashing dirty money, bribing parasites to scuttle our voice.
They are scared.
We are determined to make them accountable for the mockery, contempt, and theft of our taxes.
Focus.
Refuse to be a slave.

It wasnโt easy to select these talented group of haters, some by merit and others by irrational idiocy & lunacy. Selectors have their work cut out in selecting the dream team to carry the Hate of a nation. Whoโs on your dream teamโฆ.
