We "lost" the WPP Scangroup vote today. But strip out WPP's own 56.26% block, and more than 99% of independent shareholders voted to remove the board. WPP didn't defeat a divided minority — it overruled a near-unanimous one. 👇 #WPPScangroup @WPP

Paul Njuguna, a retired technical manager at the Agricultural Development Corporation, invested Ksh 16 million in 2019 to set up Elgon Pine, a refined oil and animal feed plant in Eldoret. At its peak, the plant processed 90 tonnes of canola, sunflower, and soya annually, with capacity for 300 tonnes. Njuguna contracted about 100 farmers who supplied raw materials, while he also farmed 10 acres himself.
The business also produced poultry feeds and soap from crop by-products.

The venture collapsed after Kenya Power slapped him with a Ksh 400,000 bill in August 2021, compared to his usual monthly bill of about Ksh 30,000. Njuguna disputed it as an error and filed a complaint, but Kenya Power claimed underbilling and refused to adjust. When he failed to pay, Kenya Power disconnected electricity to both his plant and home. Though EPRA ruled in his favour and ordered reconnection, the power was never restored, forcing him to shut down operations.

The shutdown affected the entire value chain - contracted farmers, suppliers, and employees - all of whom lost income. Njuguna now questions whether the disconnection was deliberate sabotage and why Kenya does little to protect small industrial ventures. His case has raised concerns about how utility billing errors and slow dispute resolution can destroy promising local businesses and the livelihoods tied to them.

My cousin bro never listened to his dad's final voicemail.
For 4 years.
He said he "wasn't ready."😪
One night after drinking, he finally played it.
We were expecting something emotional.
A movie-like goodbye.

😭😭😭😭A Mother Who Raised Her Children Alone Is Now Rotting in Prison Because of the Child She Raised💔💔💔

Mama Judith Simiyu, a grandmother from Bungoma living with diabetes, arthritis, and hypertension, is serving a 15-year sentence at Langata Women's Prison for a crime her family says she never committed. The person who put her there is her own daughter💔.

Judith's story begins decades ago. When her daughter Vivian was just eight years old, Judith separated from her husband and left for Juba, where she worked alone to raise her children. As conditions in South Sudan worsened, she relocated to Mandera and continued providing for her family without any support.

When Vivian completed her education and settled in Mombasa, she invited her aging mother to come and live with her. Judith accepted and moved in to help care for Vivian's eight-month-old baby boy. For the next five years, Judith raised that grandchild as her own since she was not employed and childcare was the only contribution she could offer.

When Vivian later got married, Judith felt it was time to return home. That decision did not sit well with Vivian.

In November 2024, Vivian called her mother and persuaded her to travel to Nairobi for prayers with a visiting man of God. Judith initially refused. Vivian insisted, sent her fare, and Judith made the trip on November 11th alongside her brother. They were housed in Airbnb rooms behind Coptic Hospital, rooms Vivian uses for business purposes.

After attending the prayers on the 13th, Vivian told her mother the rooms were fully booked and she would need to share a room with her seven-year-old grandson. Judith again resisted. Again, Vivian insisted.

The following morning, the 14th, Judith asked for fare to travel back home. Vivian gave her three thousand shillings and left for work.

Before leaving, Judith had a quarrel with Dorcas, a niece who was staying with Vivian. Dorcas had a complicated personal history. She had fled her first marriage, remarried a man who paid her dowry, built her parents a home, and even drilled a borehole for the family. After her father died, she abandoned that marriage too. Judith's frustration with Dorcas over these choices is what sparked the confrontation that morning.

Judith left the house with Dorcas and her grandsons heading to the stage to board a bus home. Shortly after, Vivian called asking why her mother had slept with her seven-year-old son. She had been told this by Dorcas. Judith was stunned but continued the journey.

She later received a call instructing her to surrender at Kilimani Police Station. She was accused of defiling her own grandson. The DCI in Bungoma arrested her and transported her to Nairobi.

She was charged and convicted without a medical assessment conducted in her presence or what her family describes as a fair hearing. The doctor's report shows the boy was examined on the 13th, yet Dorcas claimed she discovered him unconscious after the alleged defilement on the 14th. The medical report cited dirt associated with sexual activity found on the child's private parts.

Judith was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

She is now an elderly woman battling diabetes, arthritis, and hypertension, locked away in Langata Women's Prison, convicted on the testimony of a niece whose quarrel with her that morning set everything in motion. A cousin turned a daughter against her own mother, and an old woman is paying the price.

I have been looking keenly at the chopper that came with PR CS Murkomen landing. Two cameramen came out running with their heavy equipment to take photos and TikTok videos of CS Murkomen.

Who does that in an emergency situation?

Kileleshwa chief goon Robert Alai today stormed a public participation meeting in Kileleshwa and assaulted Kikeleshwa Chief Joyline and Kilimani Chief Catherine. The two are admitted at Nairobi Women's hospital.

After getting a supplementary in horizontal engineering, the Kileleshwa based drop out is now physically assaulting women.

Just lost a Childhood friend.
I went to the hospital to help facilitate his referral to KNH or any other PGH available with a Neuro surgeon.

Nakuru said they don't have a Neuro currently.

KNH at least asked for a CT scan report we sent photos of the report...

Here’s a video recorded from the scene.
The Kenyan driver died 4 days ago.
Four days later, no one, not even the company, has claimed the truck or his body.

He is lying there, abandoned, in a foreign land.
This is painful. This is unacceptable.

If you know the company or the driver, please share this information with them urgently.
A Kenyan life cannot just end like this and be forgotten.

Martinle Brundle: “One thing that really worried me was Lando Norris saying, ‘I didn’t want to overtake Lewis Hamilton, but my battery decided it did, and then I had nothing to defend with’.

Now, there’s a regulation in Formula 1. It’s been around forever. It’s very simple and far reaching. The driver must drive the car alone and unaided. [..] The driver shouldn’t have any surprises by a self-learning car. They’ve got to get rid of that. I’m sure it’s not the work of a moment, but you know, the power delivery must be proportional to what the driver is doing with the throttle. That’s a fundamental. It has to be linear. It’s a big issue for the FIA."

Irony. US Army chief, Gen George, rose from Private to distinguished 4-star rank, via West Point, only to be fired by a former National Guard Major who rose to cabinet rank via Fox News & Trump’s patronage.

One day, a friend walked into The Nairobi Hospital (Gigiri outpatient) with a slightly swollen, painful leg.

What looked minor wasn’t minor.

The doctor didn’t hesitate, he called an ambulance immediately. She wasn’t even allowed to drive herself.

At the main hospital, she was admitted straight to ICU.

Diagnosis: Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).

A clot sitting quietly in her leg. One small delay, one wrong move and it could have traveled to her lungs, causing a Pulmonary Embolism. Sudden death without any warning.

She survived because one doctor recognized the danger early.

Many don’t get that chance.

We don’t talk enough about DVT and pulmonary embolism yet they’re silent, fast, and deadly.

Swollen leg? Pain? Don’t ignore it.
