The destruction inside Karura Forest continues. Friends of Karura call on KFS to stop immediately and explain their plans. Thank you to @citizentvkenya@Eastleighvoice for highlighting this crisis. #SaveKarura
Part 1. We told you guys that the Kenya Forest Service forced takeover of Karura Forest was not about management of resources but an attempt at blatant land grab! #SaveKaruraForest
We need an immediate public discussion on Kenya Forest Service plans to house @NYS_Ke teams inside Karura forest. KFS machinery is felling trees and preparing ground at Rangers Village without any consultation with #FriendsofKarura - recognized co-managers of #KaruraForest We can’t let Karura become another "done deal”. #SaveKarura #ForestAlert
Thank you @FaithOdhiambo8 for believing in young Kenyans. You stood with Gen Zs during the 2024 & 2025 protests. You showed up in morgues, police stations, courts to protect the rights of ordinary citizens. You embodied 'We the People' and protected the constitution fiercely.

US president Donald Trump claims the US now controls Venezuela’s 303 billion barrels of oil.
At about $57 per barrel, that is roughly over $17 trillion worth of oil.

Surveillance Or Snooping?
The government wants to establish a dedicated digital intelligence unit to monitor Kenyans online.
The proposals will give security agencies new sweeping powers to track social media activity.

Over Sh115 billion was reportedly lost in deals involving edible oil, NHIF claims, NSSF bonds, and VAT exemptions between 2023 and 2025, but investigations by the Finance Committee remain stalled.
This shows weak oversight and the risk of public funds never being recovered.
For those who may have forgotten, just like in Minnesota where tiny daycares were found receiving millions in public funds, Kenya has its own version of the same fraud.
In Mandera, there exists this single-room "hospital" called Belgorod.(image below) This facility has no wards, no beds, no maternity, yet in April alone, it received KES 2.863 million from SHA, paid in multiple transactions within the same month, more than some fully operational sub-county hospitals in the area.
The payments were not accidental or one-off. They were systematic:
KES 13,440 next 15,000 next 98,000 next 297,000 next 551,000 next 176,000 next 855,000 next 855,000, all in April.
According to MoH records, this single room is classified as a Level 3 hospital. Even more troubling, I am informed the owner was a health worker in a nearby facility and hurriedly opened this "hospital" in January. MoH records show the application for registration and approval happened on the same day.
Immediately after similar exposures earlier this year, the Ministry of Health stopped publishing SHA payment data. The facility remains operational. The money continues to flow. What has changed is visibility.
This is how looting survives, in silence. Without public data, citizens are left at the mercy of those stealing from our health system while patients suffer quietly.
This is why I am calling on CS Aden Duale and the Ministry of Health:
RELEASE SHA PAYMENT DATA.
Transparency is not optional. It is the only protection the public has against theft disguised as healthcare.
I will share documented evidence and images in the replies.
