Why would a State Lodge require 100 acres of land carved out of Imenti Forest?

For context:

• State House Nakuru sits on about 5 acres.

• State Lodge Sagana sits on about 10 acres.

• State Lodge Mombasa sits on about 4 acres.

So why is a facility allegedly being planned on a piece of land many times larger than existing presidential residences?

Imenti Forest is not just another piece of real estate.

It is a cultural treasure for the Ameru people and a site deeply connected to Kenya's liberation struggle.

During the fight for independence, sections of this forest provided refuge to Mau Mau fighters who sacrificed everything for the freedoms we enjoy today.

When public land, especially protected forest land, is targeted for conversion, Kenyans have every right to ask hard questions.

Men,

Keep off women's activities and events,

Especially events organised by feminists.

Your fellow men are busy building the nation, while you are busy in the streets shouting,

"We want women's rights!"

Are you normal?

Don't be a mangina. Women will dislike you.

When the women finish marching, they will turn against you and call you a woman batterer, or one of them will accuse you of sexual assault.

[Eric @amerix]

Men,

You can recover from financial loss,

You can recover from an illness,

But years spent with a chaotic woman are years you can never reclaim.

They are gone.

So, choose wisely.

A man can be seated next to you, smelling of perfume, polished shoes, clean shirt, and inside him there is a whole funeral service happening.

LGBTQ is nowadays known as MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+

They should next rename it to MENTAL ILLNESS.

They use so many letters just because they don't want to accept that there are only two sexes: A MAN and A WOMAN.

[Eric @amerix]

If you are a Kenyan,

You must have seen a sustained narrative claiming that your president and his deputy are at loggerheads.

They are NOT.

You must have heard that the president is persecuting his deputy just the same way the former president was at loggerheads with his deputy.

They were not.

Here is the thing,

The system keeps you in a sustained political debate.

This artificial conundrum is designed to distract you and vex your spirits.

This debate is meant to sow divisions among citizens.

The system thrives in confusion, division and distraction.

Listen,

The social stratum has the wealthy, the middle class and the poor.

The poor are busy looking for survival, they have little time for political correctness.

The wealthy are busy looking after their wealth by funding politicians to write legislation that will continue making them wealthier.

The crux of the matter is in the middle class where you and I sit.

These are the pawns of the game. They are educated but are idiots.

They are the ones who go to the queue for voting.  (The poor don't vote unless induced by money).

The middle class are the noise decibels.

They are the donkeys that work hard to feed the rich. They are heavily taxed.

They are the fools thrown into a heated circus to hate each other, create divisions and distract themselves.

They claim to be learned but cannot decipher the political con game.

The middle class are the ones with big televisions, smartphones and computers. It is here the rich pay the media to sow seeds of confusion and distraction.

It is only a foolish Kenyan who thinks the political crooks from both ends of the political divide don't meet privately to laugh at how they have divided the masses.

It is only a foolish citizen who thinks politicians serve them.

They don't and will never.

Politicians serve

• The World Bank

• World Economic Forum

• IMF

• USAID

• UKAID

• America

• Britain

Refuse to be drawn into imaginary conflicts.

Focus on your goals.

Mobilize your energies.

Politicians won't save you. They are part of the problem.

KPLC is still forcing Kenyans to live like it’s 2005 and nobody is talking about it.
Why in 2026 am I:
- Buying tokens
- Waiting for an SMS that might delay
- Then keying a long code into a meter that can even fail?

Why can’t tokens just reflect automatically once you pay?

If I have no power, it should come back instantly. No stress.
I should be able to buy tokens from Japan for my house in Kenya, and it updates immediately, no typing anything or sending someone to key it in for me.

KPLC, this is embarrassing. Fix it.

If you read this post soberly, it will hit you, we are a failed state.
90% of Hospitals?😱

[Sholla Ard 🇰🇪 @sholard_mancity]

I’ve just read a report by the Auditor-General indicating that nearly 90% of county hospitals lack functional ICUs.

Let that sink in.

At the same time, billions are being allocated to affordable housing projects and stadiums for AFCON that will host matches for only a few weeks.

This is not about opposing development. It is about sequencing priorities.

A nation that cannot guarantee critical care in its hospitals must ask itself hard questions before pouring billions into prestige projects.

Development is not measured by stadium lights.

It is measured by whether a mother in Turkana can access an ICU bed when she needs one.

Japan and Singapore did not rise because they built monuments first. They built systems, healthcare, education, discipline in public spending.

Until we align our priorities, we will keep wondering why others move ahead while we stagnate.

[Muriungi Mwongera @sam_mwo]

So sad.

[Eric @amerix]

Another day, another slavery:

For 1 week, I was wondering why my domestic cleaner was unreachable on phone.

She came yesterday, and I noticed she has a new smartphone.

After the work, I opted to send her money but she declined.

"Hii simu ya Safaricom iko na shida."

[My Safaricom line has a problem.]

"But, it is new. Haven't you learned how to use it well?" I asked her.

"Imefungwa."

[It is locked.]

It is here that I knew what was going on.

I didn't argue.

I paid for her KSh 249 to unlock the phone.

She pays KSh 83 per day.

It appeared to be A Samsung A07 which averagely costs KSh 12000.

By paying KSh 83 per day for 365 days she will spend KSh 30,295.

Then at the end of the repayment, the phone will be dead, not charging, losing network or just unresponsive to touch functions.

Selling a KSh 12K phone for 30K to an ignorant population is organized theft protected by the government.

These debts are enslaving our people in rural areas and if we don't educate them, they will remain poor with no disposable income for financial freedom.

[Sholla Ard 🇰🇪 @sholard_mancity]

Disturbing signals from the Council of Governors.

Governors now say they will boycott Senate CPAC oversight, hiding behind claims of a “witch-hunt.”

I have followed CPAC proceedings closely. There has been no witch-hunt, only questions.

What was wrong with asking the Mandera Governor to account for KSh 19 million spent on seedlings that do not exist?
What was wrong with asking why millions were spent on a house-warming in Vihiga?
What was wrong with questioning Bungoma’s Christmas lights budget in September?

Oversight is not persecution.
Accountability is not optional.

When leaders flee scrutiny, it is not democracy under attack, it is public money being protected from the public.

Kenyans must reject this retreat from accountability.

[TurboDiesel @alexmwanzo]

I have a pal,a malawian dude
He moved to kenya for work
We hang every few weeks
So after about 4 months of stay we go grab some pints pamoja and i ask him
So hows kenya
And i shit you not this were his exact words
"Kenyans are great people expect most of you are not honest, you are always trying to one-up people and trying to benefit with the least amount of effort,
The trying to gain when you shouldnt even do is what is wild
You pay someone to do something and they do a shit job even when they can do a proper job"
I think about this alot

[Sholla Ard 🇰🇪 @sholard_mancity]

This is gaslighting/revisionism now being used by KK bloggers.

You & others spent months blogging for the government and defending TUTAM & bad govt policies and poor leaders like Aden Duale, including when this fraud was first exposed.

Now you suddenly want to sound outraged?

If you’re serious, don’t tweet Kenyans, DM Itumbi & fellow kk leaders to tell Kasongo to either release the SHA payment data or sack Duale.

You can’t defend looting & bad policies yesterday and pretend to oppose it today

Kenyans should be alert:
As elections approach, some KK bloggers are discovering "conscience." But if Kasongo gets reelected, you won't see them speak out again
Consistency is leadership. Hypocrisy is not.

This is DEEP. but it's the TRUTH.
Ukweli usemwe!
Kenyan workers are thieves of the highest calibre.
We blame management of Huge retails for siphoning cash meant for restocking, but we forgot to point at the employees. There Is the ROT. I KNOW.

[George Njoroge @georgenjoroge_]

KENYAN WORKERS ARE FILTHY DISHONEST THIEVES

As you plan your “Happy New Year” chants, stumbling blindly from 2025 into 2026, let me shatter your illusions with a honest truth.

This is both a story and a warning that could save your sanity if you’re foolish enough to start a business in this Kenyan cesspool of betrayal.

To the Kenyan workers reading this, the ones who’ve slithered through jobs like snakes, stealing scraps and fortunes alike, yeah, you reading this, we know you!

We know that capital you’re flaunting to start your little side hustles business didn’t come from honest sweat.

It came from your heists, stolen from employers who trusted you.

We’re onto you and it’s time you faced the mirror of your own filth.

This Christmas holiday I crossed paths with six tycoons, men who’ve built empires despite the rot and I asked the question:

“Why the hell aren’t you erecting factories to employ these whining youths screaming for jobs & handouts?”

They erupted in bitter laughter, like I’d cracked the darkest joke.

Then one leaned in, “Those beggars yelling about hunger & unemployment?

They’re all filthy thieves, every last one!”

I stared, stunned. “Come on, really?”

He snarled, “Damn right. I own a manufacturing outfit & a trading empire.

Forget KPLC outages or bad roads, those are child’s play.

The real nightmare?

Finding a single honest Kenyan worker in this godforsaken country.

They’re not employees; they’re vultures on a mission to bleed you dry.

Fake invoices, production logs doctored to hide the skim, every trick in their slimy playbook to cheat the system and pocket whatever they can grab, big or small, it doesn’t matter.

It’s a disease.

“And the kicker?

It’s never one lone wolf. No, it’s a pack colluding from the factory floor to sales desks, finance even the management.

I’ve fired my management 3 times in 1 year, firing wave after wave of these backstabbing leeches.

But I’m back in control.

I completely switched to Indian expats for management.

They’re sharp, brutally honest, no games.

At first, the visas, housing, staff it stung like hell.

But now?

Theft’s plummeted to zero, efficiency’s through the roof.

Turns out, those ‘expensive’ Indians are a bargain compared to the black Kenyan crooks who were robbing me blind.

Now, any role touching money?

Straight to Indians.

Kenyans? Shoved into meaningless jobs where they can’t do real damage.

“I used to rage at homegrown giants like MRM, Tononoka Group or Devki Steel for filling their ranks with Indians while Kenyan ‘youth’ rot unemployed.

Now? I get it. It’s survival in a sea of scum.

I pay millions to security firms not for bandits on the road, but to babysit my own staff.

Make sure they don’t vanish with the money instead of banking it.

That security bill alone could be profit if these filthy dishonest thieves weren’t plotting every second.

“We have CCTV, biometric locks, tech traps, all because trust is a joke here.

Hell, I stopped hiring for skills or fancy degrees long ago.

Honesty became my only filter.

Skills? You can teach those.

But dishonesty? It’s in the blood, a stain that never washes out.

“And here’s the ugliest twist: the absolute worst scum to hire?

Those smug ‘born again’ Christians.

Oh, they parade their holiness like a shield, preaching sermons while plotting your downfall.

They think their ‘faith’ makes them untouchable, above question, ‘Who are you to doubt a child of God?’

Meanwhile, they’re the kings of thuggery, stealing with a Bible in one hand and your profits in the other.

Useless hypocrites, every one.

“We whine about the economy, no jobs, no hope.

Friends abroad dream of investing here, creating factories across Africa but they bail.

Why?

Can’t find one trustworthy soul to run it without turning it into their personal piggy bank.

Kenyan workers aren’t your team they’re your ruin.

The Lonely End of a Good Man

Men,

It’s Christmas again.

Another year you buy happiness you’re not invited to feel.

You pay for the trips you don’t enjoy.

You fund smiles that never turn back to you.

You hold everything up while quietly falling apart.

You’re not loved. You’re useful.

You’re not missed. You’re expected.

Your value is measured by receipts, not by your presence.

You sit at the table but no one asks if you’re okay.

You’re in the photos but never in the memories.

If you stopped paying, everything would stop.

If you stopped breathing, life would simply reorganize.

You tell yourself “this is what a man does.”

So you swallow the loneliness.

You numb the resentment.

You keep showing up for people who stopped seeing you years ago.

And one day it hits you.

Not with drama.

Not with a fight.

Just a cold, quiet realization:

You gave everyone a life.

You lost your own.

That’s how good men disappear.

Not because they were weak.

But because they were needed more than they were loved.

Merry Christmas.

The lonely end of a good man.

[Sholla Ard 🇰🇪 @sholard_mancity]

I’ve just watched a disturbing report on NTV from Tana River.

And I am deeply shaken tonight.

A pregnant woman was bitten by a snake, believed to be a cobra or black mamba. (image of the snake below)

She was moved from hospital to hospital, where she was turned away due to a lack of antivenom

She finally reached Hola Referral(the largest government hospital in the county), and there, too, was no anti-venom.

Both she and the unborn child passed away.

And you see some people shout TUTAM & push hashtags here on X.

In present-day Kenya, no govt hospital should lack a basic life-saving drug.
No pregnant woman should die from a snake bite.
No one should die from snake bites

While government officials push hashtags about "fixing healthcare," the reality in our counties tells a different story.

This pain is unnecessary.
This loss was preventable.
Kenya deserves better.

[Eric @amerix]

Men,

While at it,

Remember to:

• Love in private

• Marry in private

• Raise babies in private

• Quarel in private

• Solve in private

• Dissolve in private

Keep your family private.

Nobody cares about your performance on social media.
