Italy tried to colonise Ethiopia, but a woman named Taytu Batul read the treaty they were to use and recognized that it was full of deception. She pushed her people to reject it, leading everyone into war—the battle of Adwa which led to Italy’s defeat. She was educated, and understood politics, power and strategy.

Do you remember when they tried to grab Karura Forest? Now read this carefully.
Today, a controversial bill that could completely change everything is in Parliament.
And almost no one is talking about it.
This bill creates a powerful new office, the Director of Forest Regulation.
This office will have the power to:
This office will sit at the center of approvals, permits, and Licensing projects in forests. They will also
-Analyze, then approve or block PROJECTS in forests
-Monitor forests
-Enforce rules
Now here’s the dangerous part;
The bill places major projects under this system, including:
-Roads, Dams & Pipelines
-Tourism projects
-Forest concessions
-Even schools & hospitals, and many others
(Page 8)
Meaning:
The Government will now have the ability to do any projects easily in forests, including Karura, without going through many legal processes as it does now.
At the same time, the bill expands what counts as a forest: Mangroves and bamboo are now included.
This means mangrove forests across coastal Kenya are now part of the mix.
Then comes the real money layer in it:
Carbon credits & Ecosystem payments have been mentioned in it
Forests are no longer just protected land; they are economic assets.
So ask yourself:
Once this becomes law, what will stop the approval of projects within forests within a short period, e.g., by 2027?
Because everything will be “legal.”
What you saw recently at;
Karura.
Nairobi National Park.
Those were not isolated attempts.
They were tests. They were testing the waters and now .....

This is corruption in onboarding the police into a private cover after spending Sh1.2 billion to build a National Police Service Referral Hospital on Mbagathi Road. The empty facility is a 150- to 200-bed Level 4 hospital, equipped with an ICU, maternity wing, and a helipad.

Burkina Faso is one of the hottest countries on earth, yet 500+ students are learning in full thermal comfort, no air conditioning required.
This school’s thick clay walls absorb the heat, while elevated steel roofs push it out. Eucalyptus ceilings, local labor, rainwater harvesting, everything possible came from what was already there.
This is a technology institute built with the technology that suits our climate and needs. The West calls it “low-tech.” Africans call it working with your climate, not against it.

All specialised treatment from Kenyatta National Hospital are now being referred to Nairobi West Hospital owned by Jayesh Saini. Saini, Ayano and Chairman of Telecom Company own the consortium that partnered with SHA and Safaricom to come up with the 104 billion SHA system. Anything under SHA at Nairobi West Hospital is paid promptly. We are killing a National Hospital to promote private enterprise. STATE CAPTURE.

🚨 There’s a SACCO bill in Parliament today, and most Kenyans don’t even know what’s coming.
Quietly... with almost no public attention…
A system is being introduced that will centralize SACCO money, and Govt will now have a massive say in it.
Think of it as a “Super SACCO” for all SACCOs.
It will:
- Hold funds from different SACCOs
- Manage liquidity
- Run payments
- Lend to SACCOs
- Invest your money
Sounds safe? Here’s the reality:
❗ SACCOs could lose some operational independence
❗ Oversight becomes much heavier (via Sacco Societies Regulatory Authority)
❗ Leaders must meet “fit & proper” approval
❗ Strict reporting & constant supervision
And yes, this could mean slower access to your money in some situations.
Now the part they won’t emphasize:
Your savings are only protected up to KSh 100,000
If a SACCO collapses?
Anything above that = your risk.
Even worse:
⚠️ Payouts are NOT immediate
⚠️ Must be approved & gazetted first
⚠️ You could wait while your money is locked
So ask yourself:
Why centralize SACCO money...
But limit protection for members?
This bill is being sold as “safety.”
But it also introduces control by the government, delays, and new risks for ordinary Kenyans.
This is how systems change,
slowly, quietly... then permanently
