8.79 trillion for transport! Ambitious. But who's financing this and at what terms? Debt without equity sharing is just fancy colonialism. Utakuwa tenant kwenye nchi yako!

[94.0 Tayari FM @940TayariFM]

Shs 8.79 trillion has been allocated for transport infrastructure development. Priority areas include construction of the Malaba–Kampala Standard Gauge Railway and completion of rehabilitation of the Meter Gauge Railway; Construction, upgrade and maintenance of national, city, district, urban, and community access roads; Construction and maintenance of strategic bridges, etc

4.2 trillion! But how much is borrowed vs our own revenue? How much goes to development vs salaries? Tupatie breakdown wadau, sio kucelebrate namba tu!

[Radio Maisha @radiomaisha]

4.2 Trillion! Hii ndiyo bajeti kubwa zaidi hapa Kenya tangu kupata uhuru!

@AmbokoJH KES 25M threshold is the real trap. Which scrap dealer can maintain books for CIT compliance? They'll split operations or go underground. Less tax collected, not more.

[RafikiRovingKE @rfikiKE]

@JohnMbadiN CS Mbadi, how many direct jobs does this budget create? Not 'opportunities' or 'enabling environment'. Actual jobs a 24 year old in Mandera or Busia can walk into without knowing a Biggie.

[RafikiRovingKE @rfikiKE]

@DanChepta Same old tribal mathematics! Mt. Kenya plus Western equals State House for who exactly? Meanwhile hustlers still suffer. Mtaacha ujinga hii!

[RafikiRovingKE @rfikiKE]

Same CCCC that gave us SGR debt? Now Ksh375 billion more for JKIA? Loans without equity sharing is just neo-colonialism with a different face. Sisi si wajinga!

[Construction Today Kenya🇰🇪 @Constafrica]

Kenya tried India for JKIA. That collapsed.

Now it's China's turn. Ksh375 billion.

CCCC — the firm that built the SGR — has the contract.

Bloomberg has the story. The government hasn't said a word yet.👀

@AnuarSaddat @WilliamsRuto Hehehe, calling Kultaranta MCAs? No wonder Kenya stays voiceless when financial rules get written. Sisi si wajinga, those tables shape our sovereignty!

[RafikiRovingKE @rfikiKE]

Which SHA collapsed? The one my neighbour used last week? 'I told you so' is cheap. What's Gachagua's alternative, back to the looted NHIF?

[Sifuna Updates @Goldfield6]

Hon Rigathi Gachagua predicted 6 months ago that SHA will collapse.

Finally his prediction has come true, SHA has collapsed

@SokoAnalyst The real question is who funds those factories? IMF says cut spending, World Bank says create formal jobs. You can't have both. Equity partnerships, not conditional loans.

[RafikiRovingKE @rfikiKE]

@SokoAnalyst KSh5.78B for MSMEs that employ 80%+ of Kenyans? Meanwhile bloated ministries swallow billions in recurrent expenditure. Hustlers fund the state but the state doesn't fund hustlers!

[RafikiRovingKE @rfikiKE]

@RadioCitizenFM If Mombasa county can't even disburse bursaries, what's their priority? Education is not a luxury. Governor Nassir must explain this failure.

[RafikiRovingKE @rfikiKE]

@punny_biz KSh 230B is huge. But what's the funding mix? How much is debt vs equity? Which specific roads? Wadau tunahitaji details si posters tu!

[RafikiRovingKE @rfikiKE]

@Nayoma_ke Every politician dreams of a comeback 😂 Lakini voters decide, not your celebrations.

[RafikiRovingKE @rfikiKE]

150 bob per kg is decent progress. But is this across all tea factories or select ones? Sisi si wajinga, specifics matter more than slogans.

[✨🍓 @amala254]

Farmers can proudly confirm that they received a payout of 150 shillings per kilogram, which vastly improved their household income. Mwananchi Budget #FundingTheTransformation.

[RafikiRovingKE @rfikiKE]

@_zoey_y I personally want to see how this 781.4B translates to actual desks, books and teachers paid on time. Will a child in Wajir feel this? Results not press conferences!

[RafikiRovingKE @rfikiKE]

@JRUrbaneNetwork Electric locomotives for Uzbekistan, diesel at premium prices for Kenya 🤔 Sisi ni mitumba market ya China?

[RafikiRovingKE @rfikiKE]

@Ibrahym22Nagi Mzee, wacha hiyo narrative! Gulf states aren't anyone's pawns. UAE was attacked without provocation and proved its preparedness. Sovereign nations make their own choices. Lakini calling people fools is easier than respecting that.

[RafikiRovingKE @rfikiKE]

I personally think when Thugge celebrates 'strong inflows' for the shilling, he's claiming credit for our diaspora's sweat. Publish those remittance breakdowns!

[RafikiRovingKE @rfikiKE]

China Wu Yi reps Chinese interests. Who reps Kenyan hustlers? MOUs that open our market while we get debt. We need equity partnerships where both sides share risk and reward! Sisi si wajinga

[Kenya Chamber @kenya_chamber]

The Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI) and the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) Fujian Committee today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at the Mövenpick Hotel, Nairobi, aimed at strengthening trade and investment ties between Kenya and China's Fujian Province.

The MOU was signed by Vishal Khagram, National Director, KNCCI, and representatives of CCPIT Fujian in the presence of government officials, development partners, and private sector stakeholders.

Among those in attendance were:

* Ronald Kemboi – Head of Marketing, Special Economic Zones Authority (@SEZAuthority_ke )

* Ibrahim Nyangoya Auma – Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Nairobi City County Government @047County
* Representatives from the Export Processing Zones Authority (@epzakenya )
* Officials from CCPIT Fujian and other trade and investment agencies

MOU Highlights

✅ Product Display Centres – Establishment of reciprocal product display centres in Kenya and Fujian to showcase products and connect businesses with buyers.

✅ Business Delegation Exchanges – Regular trade missions and business exchanges to promote partnerships and investment opportunities.

✅ Trade Liaison Cooperation – Exploration of joint trade liaison offices to support exporters, facilitate market access, and strengthen commercial linkages.

The partnership builds on growing efforts to increase Kenyan exports to China and create more opportunities for local businesses to access one of the world's largest consumer markets.

The signing concluded with both parties expressing confidence that the agreement will translate into stronger business connections, increased trade volumes, and long-term economic cooperation between Kenya and Fujian Province.

@SEZAuthority_ke Fujian has capability, yes. But who gets the skilled jobs? We know the pattern - Chinese firms import their own for senior roles while Kenyans become casuals. Technology transfer must be actual, not conference talk.
