I honestly don’t think we’re ready for this Eastleigh conversation.
Few Observations,.
You buy something in the majority of those shops and they want cash. If you don’t have cash, they have their own MPesa agents they tell you to withdraw from. They then make a quick call to the agent to confirm the withdrawal before releasing your goods.
That way, they never have to explain their cash flow, but you may one day have to explain yours to the taxman.
We’re talking about a multi billion shilling industry with very little transparency, accountability or visibility into how money moves.
And as long as they remain the middlemen, pay zero tax, sell “counterfeit goods” the government is comfortable
But how dare you use the same business model, open your own wholesale operation and bring your own goods through the port?…..
When two heads of state meet to discuss how to whip and discipline citizens demanding accountability, we’ve crossed from democracy into dictatorship. President Suluhu’s call for President Ruto to join her in suppressing Gen Zs is a conspiracy against constitutional rights.
The audacity to frame calls for good governance as notorious behaviour that must be tamed is an insult to every freedom our constitutions guarantee. Democracy is anchored on the fundamental pillars of the rule of law, human rights and accountable leadership. These aren’t negotiable.
If exercising our constitutional right to protest makes us deserving of canes and whips then our leaders have forgotten who they serve. We will not be silenced. We will not be beaten into submission. The Constitution is our shield and defender and not the whims of those who fear accountability.
10M was budgeted for the Egypt Skate game by the Ministry of Sports, but Kevin Kiarie was not sponsored.
He paid for his ticket to Egypt and was nearly chased away after Kenya failed to pay the affiliation fees of 300 dollars.
I work with a 40 year old who licks the bosses ass and view that as an achievement. Yet she doesn't get a raise or anything. And she has nothing going on in her life.
Kenyan skater Kevin Kiarie Ruhiu is all alone in Benin , he won two medals for Kenya at the International Challenge Cotonou Speed and Inline Freestyle Skating Championship.
Kenyans have turned up in large numbers to support Afande Denno after he ventured into the boiled maize (mitungo) business.
The former police officer resigned after participating in the Gen Z protests, which put him on the wrong side of the law. Police officers are prohibited from engaging in demonstrations.
This was him last year at the World Championship Singapore 2025. He was 18th worldwide still with no support from the ministry of sports.
The work continues.
