The events witnessed in Busia Town today are painful and deeply disturbing. The shooting of young people during the demonstrations, leading to the loss of life and leaving others seriously injured, is heartbreaking and must be strongly condemned. No young Kenyan should lose their life in such circumstances. I send my sincere condolences to the family of Fredrick Odhiambo who has died, and I pray for the quick recovery of those receiving treatment. Every Kenyan has a right to life, dignity, and peaceful protest. At the same time, the @NPSC_KE have a responsibility to maintain order and protect the public. That duty must always be carried out with restraint, professionalism, and respect for human life. What happened today must be fully investigated in an open and credible manner.@InteriorKE @IPOA_KE @DCI_Kenya and all relevant authorities must establish the truth and ensure accountability wherever it is deserved. I also appeal to the people of Busia, especially the youth, to remain calm and avoid further confrontation or destruction of property. This is a moment for sobriety, restraint, and justice. No family should lose a child in this manner. CC: @kipmurkomen @ray_omollo

I said it before, am saying it again, one day someone will look at Kenya and say, here lie the ruins of a country destroyed by greed.

Kenya’s Court of Appeal has ordered the government to release SGR loan documents linked to the Sh600 billion railway project. The court said the documents cannot remain secret and must be made public.

KENYA FUEL MATHEMATICS ⛽️ BEFORE STRIKE: Petrol - 214/- Diesel - 242/- Kerosene - 151/- TOTAL = 607/- REDUCTION AFTER STRIKE: Petrol - 214/- Diesel - 232/- Kerosene - 191/- TOTAL - 637/- CLEVER? NE?

Why are we even pretending this is about elections anymore? The government is fake, the opposition is fake, and most of the political class is just one network of gangsters changing jackets depending on where power is. Kenya is now trapped in a game where the same people loot, defect, reconcile, betray, regroup and return to ask for votes again. Kenyans made a historic mistake after June 25th 2024. That was the moment the country saw the system clearly, naked and afraid, but instead of forcing a total civic reset, the political class was allowed to reorganize, buy time and return with the same old tricks. At this point, elections alone cannot save Kenya if the choices are manufactured by the same rotten system. Voting between thieves, brokers, family empires and fake saviours is not democracy; it is managed frustration. Kenya does not just need another election. Kenya needs a complete political reset, a new civic consciousness, new accountability, new leadership standards and a public that refuses to be recycled through the same gangster menu every five years.

The Finance Bill, 2026 was published on 30th April and is now before Parliament and every Kenyan deserves to know what is in it. The government targets Ksh3.63 trillion in revenue for 2026/27 and a wider budget deficit of 5.3% of GDP in the 2026/27 fiscal year (July-June) up from 4.7% in 2025/26. These are not unreasonable fiscal objectives but the manner in which the burden of achieving them is distributed is a cause for serious concern. On tax filing timelines, the Bill moves the income tax return deadline to April 30th which is two months earlier than the current June 30th and compresses nil return filing to January 31st. This reduces the time available for audit completion, cash flow planning and compliance. For small businesses and individual traders, this is not administrative reform. It is an additional compliance cost they can ill afford. On mitumba, the Bill inserts a new Section 12H into the Income Tax Act which deems profit at 5% of customs value payable upfront before goods are released by KRA as a final tax. A trader importing a bale worth Ksh1 million pays Ksh50,000 regardless of whether they make a profit or a loss. I cannot in good conscience describe this as equitable.  The Bill increases residential rental income tax from 7.5% to 10%. Absent a serious enforcement framework, this will drive non-compliance rather than revenue. The government must fix the enforcement gap before it increases the rate. One without the other is burden-shifting. On digital financial services, the Bill removes existing VAT exemptions on money transfers and payment processing. These are the tools of financial inclusion that millions of Kenyans including the very people this government says it wants to reach rely on daily. Making them more expensive will not serve the objective of a broader tax base.  By including interchange and merchant service fees within the definition of management or professional fees for withholding tax purposes, the Bill introduces a compliance burden into automated banking processes. That burden will be passed on to businesses and ultimately to consumers. The amendment to Section 24 of the Income Tax Act empowers KRA to deem at least 60% of a company's undistributed income as dividends for tax purposes. This fails to account for legitimate decisions on reinvestment, working capital and business growth. It is a retrogressive measure that sends the wrong signal to the investors Kenya needs. A 25% excise duty on telephones for cellular and wireless networks is proposed. A phone is not a luxury. It is how Kenyans bank, communicate, conduct business and access government services. Parliament must interrogate this carefully. On PAYE, Kenyans were led to expect relief and a restructuring of the tax bands to ease the burden on salaried workers. That proposal does not appear in this Bill. That is not a minor omission. An explanation is owed to every employed Kenyan who was waiting for it. To be fair, the Bill is not without merit. The reduction of corporate tax for non-resident companies from 37.5% to 30% improves our investment climate. The extension of the tax amnesty to cover liabilities up to 31st December 2025 provides a genuine and welcome pathway to compliance. VAT exemptions on electric buses, bicycles, dialysers, animal feed raw materials and PPP infrastructure are sensible measures. The clarity introduced on trust taxation ensuring beneficiaries are not taxed on income already taxed at the trust level and the recognition of gratuity contributions as exempt income are also steps in the right direction. Be that as it may, we cannot afford a repeat of June 2024. Parliament must discharge its oversight role with the seriousness this moment demands. They should not merely rubber-stamp what the Treasury has placed before it. Every clause must be scrutinised. Every punitive or ambiguous provision must be rejected or amended. #FinanceBill2026 #PublicParticipation
