I was shot 3 times in the back outside Parliament on June 25, 2024. I was among those shot that day and I was the only one who survived. My name was even listed among those who had died. The media did not expect me to make it.
We went out together, my friends never came back. I carry them with me every day. May they rest in peace. 🙏
Over 2 years later I have refused to give up. I have lived through a severe spinal cord injury, chronic pain, sepsis, bladder stones and countless hospital admissions.
I am now asking for help with the costs that come with my recovery; Physiotherapy, medication, follow-up appointments and other medical expenses.
My biggest goal is to keep working on my recovery and regain my independence.
Please support me:

kyrie irving is vocal about his support for oppressed, occupied ppl & he still has a job in the nba. all them entertainers y’all excuse under the guise of “they gotta feed they family!!” are just as pathetic as y’all are. ppl living & dying is more important than fucking money.
Tanzanian opposition leader Tundu Lissu, imprisoned and facing a possible death sentence, has been nominated for the EU’s top human rights prize.
He is on trial for treason, which he denies, since April 2025. The nomination was made by the European People’s Party.
BREAKING: High Court rules parties & observers can access the Register of Voters, servers, audit logs & all election data.
The petition was opposed by UDA & IEBC, but they have LOST.
Win for transparency ahead of 2027! Nothing will save Ruto

#China says it sent #Kenya goods worth Sh1.3 TRILLION in 2025. @KRACorporate@KRACare recorded imports of only Sh672 billion. That leaves a Sh629 BILLION gap that DOES NOT appear in our books.
Over five years, the gap has grown to Sh2.76 TRILLION.
This cannot be brushed aside as a minor difference in paperwork. Kenya’s import figures should generally be higher than China’s export figures because imports are recorded on a cost, insurance and freight basis. Yet our recorded value is almost half.
That raises serious questions about UNDER-DECLARATION, mis-invoicing, customs valuation and POSSIBLE revenue leakage.
Customs is one of government’s BIGGEST revenue sources. If imports from our largest trading partner can fall through such a huge gap year after year, then Kenya DOES NOT simply have a revenue problem. We have a revenue LEAKAGE problem.
@KRACorporate and the @KeTreasury MUST explain this.
We need a full public reconciliation of China’s export records and KRA’s import records for 2021 to 2025. We need effective data-sharing with Chinese customs, targeted audits of high-risk imports, and accountability for the systems and officials responsible for closing these gaps.
Kenyans are being told that the country needs more taxes because government has no money. But before taxing Kenyans more, close the holes through which their money is already escaping.
Kenyans are not poor. We are being taxed in a system that may be failing to collect what is already owed.
That is the issue. #GetitDone #ReKe

By the time I learned Mudavadi and Weta were less inspiring than a boiled egg and a packet of Mala I had not even met Raila. For them to claim it is Baba who has taught us to disrespect them is utter rubbish. Respect is earned. They haven't earned mine.
THE STANDARD GROUP PLC
PRESS STATEMENT
Nairobi, Kenya
September 1, 2026
STANDARD GROUP CONDEMNS ABDUCTION OF ITS SENIOR EDITOR, DEMANDS HIS IMMEDIATE AND SAFE RELEASE
The Standard Group PLC confirms that shortly before 9:20pm this evening, our Associate Editor, Alex Kiprotich, was abducted along the Gilgil–Nakuru road while travelling to Nakuru. We do not know where he is as we issue this statement.
This is the second time in as many months that Mr Kiprotich has been targeted. On 27 June 2026, armed men in a Toyota Probox a vehicle model repeatedly linked to enforced disappearances of government critics in Kenya, tried to seize him from his car as he drove to work in Nakuru. He got away by locking his doors and driving off. That attempt came days after President William Ruto publicly criticised this Group over its coverage, and our own investigations traced the vehicle to the National Police Service's Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau. No one has ever been held to account for it.
Tonight, that threat has been carried out.
We do not believe this is a coincidence. Mr Kiprotich has been at the forefront of our editorial output, including reporting that has scrutinised the conduct of the State, and tonight's abduction bears all the hallmarks of a targeted attack on a journalist for doing his job.
We believe it may be linked to elements within the State seeking to intimidate this Group into silence. If that is confirmed, this is not simply a crime against one man. It is an assault on the Constitution of Kenya, on the freedoms of expression and of the media guaranteed under Articles 33 and 34, and on the right of every Kenyan to independent information.
We say this plainly and without equivocation: the Standard Group holds the State responsible for Alex Kiprotich's safety and his life, and for anything that happens to him while he remains missing. Protecting the life and liberty of every citizen is the State's first duty, not an afterthought, and Mr Kiprotich's safety now rests entirely in its hands.
We are demanding:
1. The immediate, safe and unconditional release of Alex Kiprotich.
2. A prompt, transparent and independent investigation into his abduction, and into why no one has ever answered for the attempt of June 27, 2026.
3. Real, visible guarantees that journalists in Kenya will be protected, in keeping with commitments the President has already made publicly and has so far failed to honour.
We are calling on the Independent Policing Oversight Authority, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, the Law Society of Kenya, the Media Council of Kenya, the Committee to Protect Journalists, and everyone who values a free press in this country, to demand answers alongside us until Mr Kiprotich is found safe.
We will keep the public informed as we learn more, and we will not let this matter quietly fade from view.
CHAACHA MWITA,
GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER,
THE STANDARD GROUP PLC

Niliskia Murkomeno akiuliza tulienda Homabay kwanini na tuliskia kutakua na goons, mi sasa nauliza, Why is Ruto vying next year na anajua Sifuna atashinda?🚶🏽♀️

Edwin Sifuna! The President who will restore Kenya to constitutionalism, the rule of law and democratic governance.
Under Ruto’s regime, we have fallen so far from these ideals. The country urgently needs a reset before we lose it all.
I am well and doing fine.
What we went through was not easy for anyone, and processing everything that happened has needed time. I want to sincerely thank all our leaders, especially the 6th @edwinsifuna and his amazing team that kept me sane every 20 mins, the rescue team (I dont want to expose them), Hon @HonWamboka , @CaroliOmondi Hon Majimbo Kalasinga for especially going that extra mile to ensure we were safe.
To my family, thank you for remaining calm and strong amidst all the misinformation that was going around. I want to make it clear that I was not cut or harmed at all, and those who participated in using this to cause fear and pain nimewachia Mungu.
I am deeply grateful to the young men of Homa Bay who allowed us to have a conversation and recognised me as one of Baba’s supporters from the last election and literally allowed us to go to safety. Indeed, Baba saved me even as he continues to rest.
I am also grateful to the church that gave us refuge, and to the women and men inside who prayed with us, kept us calm, and stayed with us until we were rescued. Your kindness and courage will forever remain in my heart.
Homa Bay showed me violence and love at the same time.
I will be sharing my experience soon. For now, I am simply grateful to all of you who have been calling, messaging and checking on me. All is well.
To my sister Agnetta Mwangale you are the best person to have experienced this with. Nakupenda sana.
We soldier on.
I remain unbowed.
