23 Mining Zones all guarded by the KDF under the guise of Ebola treatment and isolation centres.
Kasongo is prioritizing his own pockets over our sovereignty by protecting a heist.
Wajinga waliisha Kenya! We see the game.
Njeri Maina, Women Rep Kirinyaga County has vindicated me. She is my MP and I'm ashamed that I elected her. She says that they don't have the courage to impeach Ruto. They only courage they have is to roam around the country singing Wantam and Ruto Must Go. Very useless MPs.
The Trump administration is planning to send US citizens exposed to Ebola for treatment in
KENYA: https://t.co/lftPuVfjQp @MOH_Kenya I don't see you quoted in this NYT article. When was this going to be shared with the public if true?
KeNHA closed Chiromo Road for months. @KeNHAKenya DG I want you to look at these pictures and explain to Kenyans with a straight face how a road you just repaired has potholes before the paint is even dry.
This is not incompetence.
Incompetence is accidental.
This is deliberate.
You used substandard materials knowing exactly what would happen because the same road will need repair again and the same tender will be issued again and the same people will eat again.
The pothole is not a mistake.
The pothole is your business model. 😐

Media platforms were warned not to take photos or videos during the fuel talk meeting with matatu associates.
They were warned, but someone just pretended he was holding her phone, took a snap when they were issuing cheques.
The photo is from a state official. It was taken secretly during the envelope distribution. Each envelope had a KSh 2 million cheque.
The matatu associates froze and declared that the protest had been suspended countrywide. They turned the protest into millions...into wealth.
Going home smiling with KSh 2 million plus job promises.
Just same like Mprara Kebaso who became millionaire in just months.
Because Matatu operators are the ones who have called off the strike, Kenyans MUST REFUSE to pay hiked fares. Since they are the ones in dialogue with the government, they should not pass on the cost of their dialogue to innocent, underpaid and overtaxed Kenyans!

🚨 Napoli trigger €44m buy clause to sign Rasmus Højlund on a permanent deal from Manchester United.
All done with UCL qualification, never in doubt as Napoli are very happy with Højlund.
#MUFC receive total €50m: €44m obligation after €6m loan fee in August.
The Finance Bill, 2026 was published on 30th April and is now before Parliament and every Kenyan deserves to know what is in it.
The government targets Ksh3.63 trillion in revenue for 2026/27 and a wider budget deficit of 5.3% of GDP in the 2026/27 fiscal year (July-June) up from 4.7% in 2025/26. These are not unreasonable fiscal objectives but the manner in which the burden of achieving them is distributed is a cause for serious concern.
On tax filing timelines, the Bill moves the income tax return deadline to April 30th which is two months earlier than the current June 30th and compresses nil return filing to January 31st. This reduces the time available for audit completion, cash flow planning and compliance. For small businesses and individual traders, this is not administrative reform. It is an additional compliance cost they can ill afford.
On mitumba, the Bill inserts a new Section 12H into the Income Tax Act which deems profit at 5% of customs value payable upfront before goods are released by KRA as a final tax. A trader importing a bale worth Ksh1 million pays Ksh50,000 regardless of whether they make a profit or a loss. I cannot in good conscience describe this as equitable.
The Bill increases residential rental income tax from 7.5% to 10%. Absent a serious enforcement framework, this will drive non-compliance rather than revenue. The government must fix the enforcement gap before it increases the rate. One without the other is burden-shifting.
On digital financial services, the Bill removes existing VAT exemptions on money transfers and payment processing. These are the tools of financial inclusion that millions of Kenyans including the very people this government says it wants to reach rely on daily. Making them more expensive will not serve the objective of a broader tax base.
By including interchange and merchant service fees within the definition of management or professional fees for withholding tax purposes, the Bill introduces a compliance burden into automated banking processes. That burden will be passed on to businesses and ultimately to consumers.
The amendment to Section 24 of the Income Tax Act empowers KRA to deem at least 60% of a company's undistributed income as dividends for tax purposes. This fails to account for legitimate decisions on reinvestment, working capital and business growth. It is a retrogressive measure that sends the wrong signal to the investors Kenya needs.
A 25% excise duty on telephones for cellular and wireless networks is proposed. A phone is not a luxury. It is how Kenyans bank, communicate, conduct business and access government services. Parliament must interrogate this carefully.
On PAYE, Kenyans were led to expect relief and a restructuring of the tax bands to ease the burden on salaried workers. That proposal does not appear in this Bill. That is not a minor omission. An explanation is owed to every employed Kenyan who was waiting for it.
To be fair, the Bill is not without merit. The reduction of corporate tax for non-resident companies from 37.5% to 30% improves our investment climate. The extension of the tax amnesty to cover liabilities up to 31st December 2025 provides a genuine and welcome pathway to compliance. VAT exemptions on electric buses, bicycles, dialysers, animal feed raw materials and PPP infrastructure are sensible measures. The clarity introduced on trust taxation ensuring beneficiaries are not taxed on income already taxed at the trust level and the recognition of gratuity contributions as exempt income are also steps in the right direction.
Be that as it may, we cannot afford a repeat of June 2024. Parliament must discharge its oversight role with the seriousness this moment demands. They should not merely rubber-stamp what the Treasury has placed before it. Every clause must be scrutinised. Every punitive or ambiguous provision must be rejected or amended.

The debt Moi handed to Kibaki: 600 billion.
600 billion in 40 years.
The debt Kibaki handed Uhuru: 1.8 trillion.
Kibaki borrowed 1.2 trillion in 10 years.
The debt Uhuru handed Ruto: 8.5 trillion.
Uhuru borrowed 7.3 trillion in 10 years!
Legally, Uhuru was allowed to borrow only 2 trillion, but he borrowed an extra 5.3 trillion ILLEGALLY.
By the time Uhuru left, we had paid 7 trillion according to an independent and verifiable forensic audit.
We paid the legal 2 trillion, and also paid Uhuru's illegal debt of 5 trillion.
Therefore, our balance was 1.5 trillion in 2022.
However, the debt has continued to skyrocket, rising from 8.5 trillion to 12 trillion.
This begs the question, who is pocketing our money?
Why is the parliament not summoning Uhuru to explain this blatant constitutional violation?
Why is Ruto not being put to task by parliament on why he continues to abet this illegal repayment?
Why are we paying a debt that doesn't exist?
Today, for every 100 shillings we collect as revenue, 96 shillings is repaying this debt.
A debt that doesn't exist, builds nothing, and gives zero return on investment.
We are only left with 4 shillings to pay civil servants, run the government, and build infrastructure.
We are in chains.
Our children deserve to be told the truth.
We can't hand the country to them that is in debt, in shambles and in chains.
This madness must stop!
