The High Court has suspended NTSA's mandatory annual inspection for privately owned, non-commercial vehicles.

The order will stay in place until June 22, 2027, as the court hears a case challenging the new inspection rules.

We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas

Did the government notify anybody that it would picket today and #OccupyAllRoads?

The system is upset that you still remember June 25. It is even more disturbed that your memory is not vague, but graphic —that you remember what happened that day, what followed in its wake, and what has continued to unfold ever since. This was not to be remembered.

The trips are endless, luxurious, and incomplete without large convoys, complete with a fleet of helicopters. The millions of shillings in mobilization handouts on each trip add to the reckless spending spree that President William Ruto’s regime has adopted for his domestic trips.

Today, H.E. Jane Ndurumo, Kenya’s High Commissioner to the Republic of South Africa, hosted a special welcome reception in honour of Kenyan athletes participating in the prestigious 2026 Comrades Marathon, scheduled for Sunday, 14 June 2026.

Joined by the leadership of the Kenyan diaspora in KwaZulu-Natal, the High Commissioner warmly welcomed more than 40 Kenyan recreational runners who had travelled to South Africa to take part in the iconic ultramarathon.

Held annually in KwaZulu-Natal, the Comrades Marathon is one of the world’s most celebrated ultramarathons, attracting over 22,000 participants and covering approximately 85.77 kilometres between Durban and Pietermaritzburg.

Addressing the athletes, the High Commissioner commended their dedication, resilience and commitment to excellence, noting that they continue to fly the Kenyan flag high on the global stage. She wished them every success in the race and underscored that Kenya remains a global powerhouse in athletics, whose athletes inspire generations through their remarkable achievements and unwavering determination.

The reception celebrated the spirit of excellence, endurance and national pride that defines Kenya’s rich sporting heritage.

Kenya’s Court of Appeal has ordered the government to release SGR loan documents linked to the Sh600 billion railway project.

The court said the documents cannot remain secret and must be made public.

"Until death, all defeat is psychological." - Marcus Aurelius

Refuse everything that would lead most people to give up.

Refuse it.
Rise from the dead 1000 times.
Commit to never stay down & never give up.
Everything you want is on the other side of struggle.

[Okiya Omtatah Okoiti @OkiyaOmtatah]

When you hear politicians suddenly uniting to tell you who the “enemy” is, pause and ask yourself one question:

Who benefits when citizens are divided and distracted?

Too often, the political class closes ranks not to defend the people, but to defend the system that feeds them. They want Kenyans fighting each other while corruption, impunity, unemployment, and economic injustice continue unchecked.

The moment someone begins questioning the structure of exploitation, the wardens of the prison quickly unite and point at a new “enemy” to keep the prisoners distracted.

Kenyans must stop worshipping political camps and start defending principles. Accountability is not tribal. Justice is not regional. Truth is not partisan.

The real struggle is not between ordinary citizens. The real struggle is between a corrupt system and the people paying the price for it every day.

how grotesque is the expression “earn a living”

[Okiya Omtatah Okoiti @OkiyaOmtatah]

On this day, 18 years ago, on 12 May 2008, I published my first article in the @NationAfrica challenging the injustice of odious debt.

I argued then, as I do now, that debts incurred against the interests of the people cannot morally or legally be imposed on generations that never consented to them.

Africa must stop begging for relief from debts designed to enrich a few and impoverish millions. We must audit, question, repudiate, and prosecute where necessary.

Odious debt is not development. It is economic capture. The struggle continues.

[Friends of Nairobi National Park @FoNNaPKenya]

This is Nairobi National Park.
The only national park in any capital city in the world. Home to lions, leopards, rhinos, and hundreds of species. A living ecosystem that belongs to every Kenyan.

And right now, construction is tearing through it.

77 acres approved for development. A car park for 1,300 vehicles. A fence that the EIA describes as both 700 metres and 10 kilometres. A project cost that changes from KES 57 million to KES 315 million depending on which page you read.

The park's own Management Plan prohibits development in this zone. NEMA approved it anyway.

Once this habitat is gone, it cannot be restored.

FoNNaP has filed a petition in the Senate and a case in the High Court. But we need the public to know what is happening.

Watch this. Share it. Ask questions.

Tag @kws_kenya @nema_kenya and demand transparency.

[Temitayo O. Esq @Tbabz__]

One fatal cultural flaw of ours is the collective inability to appreciate how politics at every level impacts on the most minute detail of your everyday personal life forever. E.g there’s an invisible yet straight line between your government and your height/dentition/genes, etc.
