🚨 BREAKING: We reveal the news that even Ruto himself might not have wanted many of you to know today.
He has landed back in Kenya aboard private jet T7-BBJ at 6:30 PM EAT.
Coincidentally, or not, his return came at the exact moment the entire country was glued to the KSh 4.8 trillion Budget debate.
While Kenyans were busy discussing taxes, spending, and the cost of living, the President quietly touched down back home.
This appears to mark the end of a trip that cost taxpayers more than KSh 4 million per flight hour.
We tracked this aircraft from the moment it left Finland.
We waited for government officials to announce his arrival. None did.
As usual, the question is simple:
What exactly was the ROI of this trip?
If it's deals, this government has announced hundreds of deals from dozens of foreign trips. Yet most Kenyans cannot point to a single change in their daily lives that is due to them.
If it's 1,000 jobs in Norway, then compare the cost of the trip against the salaries those jobs will generate.
At some point, taxpayers have to ask whether these trips are investments or expensive photo opportunities.
The Budget was read today.
Taxes were defended today.
Billions were allocated today.
And quietly, the President returned home.
We'll continue tracking these flights and revealing what others won't.
Follow me here - Sholla Ard - as we hold the government accountable.
Uganda activist has been abducted in Kenya. It seems on this day Ruto,Suluhu and Museveni agreed to form East Africa abduction squad.
Besigye was abducted in Kenya,Mwabili abducted in Tanzania and Bob Njagi in Uganda.
State House spent Sh4.5 billion outside its approved budget in the first nine months of FY2025/26, according to the Controller of Budget.
This is one of the highest cases of unplanned government spending in the period.
For years, the Auditor-General has exposed billions lost through financial mismanagement and irregular expenditure. Yet accountability remains elusive.
I have formally sought a statement in @Senate_KE on the effectiveness of the @EACCKenya in acting on these findings. Kenyans deserve answers, action, and justice, not endless audit reports gathering dust.
Public money must serve the people, not the corrupt.
#Accountability
Pictures of that Nanyuki protests gunshot victim really did me in. That was a straight headshot meaning the intention was to kill. For how long is President Ruto going to kill non-violent Kenyans on the streets???
BREAKING: KSh 377 million worth of drugs expired at KEMSA and were thrown away.
Cancer drugs.
HIV drugs.
Thrown away.
At the same time, thousands of Kenyans were being told their hospitals had no medicine and were forced to buy drugs with money they don't have.
That is what makes this scandal so infuriating.
The issue is not that Kenya lacked the drugs.
The drugs were there.
They were simply allowed to expire.
Someone knew. Someone was responsible. Someone failed to do their job.
As we demand accountability from leaders at the top, we must also confront the negligence and incompetence inside public offices.
Ordinary Kenyans are paying the price for a system that keeps failing them.
We are not shocked that after the Somali referee was denied entry into the United States, the next convenient story is now trying to link him to Al Shabaab.
This is the same old script powerful countries use whenever they need to justify humiliation, discrimination, exclusion or violence against people they have already decided to punish.
Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when America needed a war, and Libya was presented as a humanitarian rescue before the bombs fell and the country collapsed into chaos.
Whenever they need public sympathy for a questionable decision, they first manufacture a security cloud using words like terrorist, extremist, threat, militant links and national security concern.
Those labels are designed to make ordinary people stop asking questions, because once someone is branded a security risk, many people assume there must be something hidden.
If there is real evidence against the referee, let them produce it openly and allow the world to examine it instead of hiding behind vague border language.
If there is no evidence, then they should stop using security propaganda to cover a broken, humiliating and discriminatory visa system that treats Africans like suspects.
Africa has watched this movie before, and every time the powerful side needs an excuse, the script somehow ends with fear being manufactured.
The Ministry of Education essentially tells school headteachers to run a child's entire termly basic education, buy curriculum materials, and maintain facilities on Ksh 95. Meanwhile, State House spent Ksh 2,500,000,000 completely unauthorized in 42 days.
MPs spent Sh2.8 billion on foreign travel and Sh1.5 billion on domestic travel in 9 months of FY2025/26, according to CoB.
The Senate spent Sh1 billion on local travel and Sh815 million on foreign travel in the same period.
