@FerdyOmondi @CSakwah Biggest gap is storage. Part of the reason we pay such high tariffs is due to the unutilized capacity/generation that goes to waste but still needs to be paid for.

Kenya’s rush into a 2,000MW nuclear plant in Siaya is a historic mistake in the making – economically, environmentally, and strategically. First, context. Kenya already gets about 85–90% of its electricity from clean sources: geothermal, hydro, wind and increasingly solar. We are a global poster child for clean power without nuclear. Our main challenge isn’t a lack of clean options. We aren’t planning and using what we have well enough. So why gamble billions on the most complex, riskiest option on the menu? A single 2,000MW nuclear plant is one of the largest, most expensive projects in our history. These plants are notorious for cost overruns and delays in far richer, more technically advanced countries. If it runs late (very likely) or goes over budget (almost guaranteed), someone has to pay. That “someone” is Kenyan taxpayers and electricity consumers. We risk locking ourselves into decades of high tariffs or more public debt to service a mega‑project we didn’t actually need. Meanwhile, the opportunity cost is massive. For the same money, Kenya could add thousands of megawatts of geothermal, wind and solar across multiple counties, plus storage and transmission to stabilise the grid. Geothermal alone, in the Rift Valley, can provide 24/7 baseload power without importing fuel – and we’ve already shown we know how to do it. Wind in Turkana, solar in the north and east, small hydro, battery storage: these are proven, modular, quicker to build, and spread economic benefits more widely than one giant plant in Siaya. Then there’s the risk profile. Nuclear accidents are rare, but when they go wrong, they go very wrong and last for generations. Putting a first‑ever nuclear plant on Lake Victoria, which supports millions of people across several countries, is a huge regional gamble. Even “minor” incidents or perceived risk can devastate fisheries, tourism, and local livelihoods. Radioactive waste is a 100‑year question in a political system that struggles to manage five‑year projects without scandal. Do we really trust our current institutions to run a flawless nuclear safety culture for the next century? Governance is the elephant in the room. Nuclear is the kind of project that attracts opaque deals, expensive foreign contractors, complex technology transfer promises, and huge procurement contracts. In a country where big infrastructure routinely raises questions about corruption and value for money, adding nuclear’s complexity is like pouring petrol on a smouldering fire. Once we sign, we are locked in – to a vendor, to a technology, to a repayment schedule – regardless of how our economy or technology options evolve. Strategically, it also makes little sense. The world is moving towards flexible, distributed, renewables‑heavy systems supported by storage and smart grids. Nuclear is the opposite: big, centralised, inflexible units that must run almost all the time to be economical. On a grid like Kenya’s, where demand is still growing and industrialisation is uneven, dropping 2,000MW of inflexible baseload can actually complicate balancing, especially when we add more variable wind and solar. We risk building a system that is technically elegant on paper but financially and operationally brittle in reality. Kenya’s climate and geography give us an embarrassment of renewable riches: untapped geothermal reservoirs, some of the best wind regimes on the continent, abundant solar irradiation, and room for regional power trade. Instead of doubling down on what works and scaling it smartly, we are flirting with the most capital‑intensive, politically risky, institution‑demanding technology available. It’s like bypassing a field full of ripe maize to plant a single, exotic crop we’ve never grown before, which only matures if the weather is perfect for 20 years. If our goal is cheap, reliable, climate‑friendly power that supports jobs and industry, the answer is to go deeper on what we’re already good at: – Aggressively expand geothermal as firm baseload. – Add more wind and solar, especially near demand centres. – Invest in storage, transmission, and regional interconnectors. – Fix governance, planning, and utility finances so that Kenyans actually feel the benefit on their bills. Nuclear might have a place someday in a much larger, richer, more industrialised Kenya with rock‑solid institutions. But right now, when we are already at 85%+ clean power and sitting on huge untapped renewable potential, a 2,000MW nuclear plant is not visionary at all. It’s a high‑risk distraction. Our focus should be on making Kenya the first truly renewables‑powered industrial economy in Africa, not a test case for big nuclear on Lake Victoria.

@moigeshmarion @Lwamboza @JCarhire Nope. Hii uko sawa. Had one for 8 years bila stress

@Lwamboza @JCarhire Na wingroad?

@ROGUEKENYAN @kisumuOffice @ClintonObonyo Mwenye gari anafaa kuajiri staff wako na akili. Biashara zote ukiajiri staff wanasumbua wateja utaona kali

@kisumuOffice @ClintonObonyo Mwenye gari ameibia nani??? Hii gari sio ya driver ama makanga, hao ata wakichomwa iko sawa, lakini mwenye gari itabidi amenunua hiyo windscreen na pesa zake.

Mambo ilichemka Leo Pale Luthuli.. Huyu dame alikuwa na sister yake mdogo from Buruburu akimpeleka Shule akapea makanga 1k so kufika town makanga alikuwa amepotea na Dereva akaambia Huyu dame afanye chenye anataka. Dame akasema Kama mbaya mbaya Anguka na windscreen ya nganya😂😂😂

@daddyk254 @Kamau266 This guy was also selling highend rides worth 30m+, easily bagging 2m-5m in profit. Let's agree there was major lack of business discipline from his end

@Kamau266 Assumption is that its on purpose. Think of it this way - monthly office costs 400k , life 100k. Client profit 150k p.u. You know every month 5 clients always come no matter what. Thats 750k per month. You have 250k left over every month. Then one season everything stops

Mbona business people huwa mnafind it hard kukula tu yako kidogo and be in the game for long, Kairo and Ruthless Focus could easily be the biggest car movers in this country because they were backed up by social media numbers lakini tamaa ni nani.

@Jamandass_ @kamauwaruhiu Mzee umesoma malazan? 🙌🏾

@kamauwaruhiu Unanimaliza 😂 😂 😂

Every time I was suffering there was a guy who was always there through everything,nikaanza kuona kama Ako na nuks nikampotelea then nika endelea kukula shida nikajua he was an unwilling victim nikamtafuta Tena two heads are better than one ,lakini he was tired too akakataa.

@Chupacabra_ke @shirt_gpt @Pinkiescent_ Baaas

@shirt_gpt @Pinkiescent_ Na ujuwe bado yeye na conductor hawajalipwa.....ikifika mwisho na rush hour zinapanga line 🫩🫩🫩🫩

Lakini honestly, how do these guys make profit? The bus is 80% screen, 18% woofers alafu 2% ndiyo body+tyres, touts ni kama wanne, number plate custom ya a million kenyatta shillings a year alafu wanalipisha 50 bob? Distance yenye nalala mpaka naamka? Make it make sense

@shirt_gpt @Pinkiescent_ Hio ni ideal trip. Ukweli ni trip mingi kuna Ka jam kiasi, alafu return zote ni shukisha beba which increases fuel consumption

@Pinkiescent_ Nishai kaa hapo mbele na dere, small small conersations tunaongea hapo, jamaaa alifunguka akanishow with no traffic, mat inakunywa 600 from Town to Kimbo, doing the math, 33 * 80 -(600) pure profit from a single trip

@__belite @_stayliquidd @freekenyanwoman It'll clean the house, do the dishes and maybe do a week's worth of meal prep too? Wow! Where do I get one?

@_stayliquidd @freekenyanwoman Have you guys not heard of washing machines ?🤦🏻

I can't believe I have to disagree with you 😅😅.. the problem is that empowered/cooperate women don't want to play wifey roles but want to stay in marriages. Kama you want to live by your own rule stay single,(I bet she is). Otherwise kwa kina ndoa , modernity won't change rules

@Safaricom_Care That's interesting considering it's come from SAFARICOM as you can see from my screenshot

@Safaricom_Care what is this configuration message I'm getting on my android device? What is the configuration intended to do and why?

@kai_ze_n @_0hHunny @georgediano Ndo nashangaa anasema nini 🤦🏾

@_0hHunny @georgediano men should do better yani umeka hivo ukaona as if men are not even trying ama?

The Boychild is under siege and cease. The Girl child has been Empowered, the Boychild forgotten. We are moving into a Matriarchal society, Patriarchal under siege. This should be addressed as a National crisis, who will marry this very Empowered girls when the Boychild is bringing nothing on the Table!

@CabralGran4real @Quartermain30 @mwangiml @Trackmann2 Pia import ziko na grades 3 - 5, mpaka salvage. Newbie atasaidika na hio pre-inspection

@Quartermain30 @mwangiml @Trackmann2 Kama ni import ni sawa juu kuna JEVIC, MOT certification..... lakini gari imetumika hapa Kenya lazma tufanye pre-inspection....kazi ni kuadvertise accident free na gari ilikuwa write-off ikafanywa make up

Some car sales associates are mad pressed by technicians offering pre-purchase inspection services. Lol.

@MartinMKivuva @Sontommy254 @Mm_moffat Good question!

@Sontommy254 @Mm_moffat Is this from experience ama pia wewe uliskia?

Mechanics on my tl,, what car would you never recommend to anyone not even your worst enemy?

@Lwamboza @CaptainOchenge @kmainaj Dhubutu upatwe na kanjo/sirkal wakupige fine nono ama ufungwe

@CaptainOchenge @kmainaj Hapa ata serikali haina makosa. Can't the land lords just contribute and pave the roads? It's the least they can do for their tenants. Nimeona estates zimefanya ivo instead ya kungoja serikali.

Wah wah wah oya @kmainaj kujia delivery yako hapa chini. I can't go any further. Nakuombea #lifeijipe uhame uku.

@Karanimutonga @davydmusambai @alasirimotors Isn't that the same as "track record?" What about those who haven't built the reputation yet? Do you mean to say that the car they drive doesn't influence the people they are pitching to? Someone on a boda Vs someone in an LX600 will be evaluated differently.

@davydmusambai @alasirimotors No any size of car can replace reputation.

If you buy this 2023 Lexus LX 600 kindly insure it on third party only basis

@KenyaPower_Care I haven't received the token code for the following payment. TC902EZJ3C Confirmed. Ksh1,000.00 sent to KPLC PREPAID for account 46202100817 on 9/3/25 at 7:13 PM

@_James041 This guy has an explanation how UAE is destroying nations

@ranchoYuleMdark @masaku_ Sina. Si unipee tu

@residesinterra @masaku_ Hope you have a job while tweeting this

This was the brand new fleet of cars acquired by USAID Kenya before Trump ended it. Pure wastage of charity money

@ranchoYuleMdark @masaku_ Kuna tender umepoteza hapa ikakuuma

@masaku_ Why are you not seeing the thousands of liters they would fuel,insurance premiums,employed drivers,mechanics,parts etc .why are people myopic.All is gone .They have been buying zero mileage for the longest time ever ,they didn't start today

@dekow001 @KirundaMunir @C_NyaKundiH You're right, wachana na hawa mafala wanaropokwa. The Prado driver ni bure kabisa only seeing and reacting to stuff happening 10ft in front of them. He should have observed the bodas and black car in front of him especially since it swerved to avoid the guy.

@KirundaMunir @C_NyaKundiH Kudos to the Axio driver for his situational awareness and defensive skills. The Prado driver lacks both of them. He only knows how to accelerate, stop, overtake, and overlap.

A pedestrian was struck in a suspected hit-and-run incident on Tuesday morning along Tivoli Street in Kisumu. Witnesses reported that two speeding high-end vehicles hit the man while en route from the Imperial Sarova Hotel. It is said that the cars had reportedly picked up a politician who was rushing for a meeting. The drivers failed to stop following the collision.
