@RobertAlai You conveniently leave out the big boys - the real culprits. What about the PS and CS?

DCI boss Amin is personally using the money meant to gather crime information from the public. The biggest enemy of police officers are the IG and DCI boss Amin. Two useless individuals.

@kalugana52325 @ArsenalNews_Hub Mjinga sana. Celebrate mbale or January FC instead of butlicking foreign clubs. Shenzi sana

@ArsenalNews_Hub Just visit uganda the only country with PURE love. U will never regret this decision

This is Uganda🤔I think we need to get a preseason tour to one of these African countries.

@LarryMadowo These were celebrations while the other was a destructive protest. You are extremely unpatriotic. What's the purpose of the ballot? Isn't it to vote out a government if it doesn't perform? Then why should protests be destructive?

Kenyan police allowed Arsenal fans to gather and disperse peacefully but they never allow the same youth to protest against the government without killing some

@mwangi_23 @piersmorgan You are not any different - they celebrate the success of a foreign club and you celebrate the destruction and downfall of your country at the behest of foreign agents; you both lack patriotism. Ushindwe kabisa.

@piersmorgan This is utterly ridiculous instead of protesting against a tyrrant, this third world country is celebrating an English team...worse yet all those jerseys you see are fake. Who cursed Africa!!

MABINGWA!!!

@RazedFootball Wajinga sana. Failures!

🚨 CRAZY SCENES: Arsenal fans have taken over the streets of Nairobi, Kenya, celebrating the club’s Premier League trophy success. 🏆❤️

@onedayatatimej @Deee_luul How's Nigeria?

@Flownetit @KenyaAirways @KenyaAirways sort this out

@KenyaAirways I cancelled 2 tickets for South Africa because the visit visa applications were denied. I requested for a refund and March 28, 2026. I got an email that $100 will be deducted for each ticket as penalty. Till date the refund has not been made. I've sent several email reminders.

@KalekyeMoments This is terrible

Thread: Mt. Everest is a tourist attraction strewn with dead bodies that act as landmarks. Around 300 people have died there & over 100 corpses still lie there, well preserved due to the freezing environment. They're a stark reminder for people on the dangerous assignment.

@EFB659 @RnaudBertrand Reread the statement and from there you will know that she made the statement earlier, not in this video

@RnaudBertrand When did she say that China is a disease or cancer? In these very short excerpts, it is quite difficult to understand what the context is. For example, she is right when she says, how do you want to wage war if you can't take on Russia, let alone China.

Another day, another rabidly idiotic statement. There is truly no overstating how much of a walking disaster Kallas is for Europe. Yesterday she called China a "disease" for Europe (specifically "cancer"), and now she's saying the EU can't have a Middle East strategy because - brace yourselves - there's just too much going on there. This comes among hundreds similarly idiotic statements - basically every time she opens her mouth. When you choose people like this to be your voice to the world, you deserve every ounce of irrelevance and mockery coming your way.

The debate between Gen Zs and millennials is totally imbalanced because we are comparing people at very different stages of life, under very different burdens, and then pretending the answers are already clear. Gen Zs are right to say they are bold, outspoken and less willing to tolerate humiliation, especially in workplaces, politics and society. That is a good thing, and Kenya has benefited from that courage. But millennials are also not weak simply because many learnt how to endure bad systems, survive quietly, keep jobs, swallow pride and carry responsibilities without making noise every day. The truth is that we may not get the real answer now. We will only know when Gen Zs are in their 30s and 40s, with children in school, ageing parents to support, rent or mortgages to pay, medical bills arriving without warning, loans hanging over them, and entire households depending on one salary. That is when life tests political courage, workplace courage and social courage differently. It is easy to say people should walk away from oppressive spaces when you are mostly carrying yourself. It becomes more complicated when your resignation, rebellion or public confrontation can immediately affect your children, your parents, your spouse and everyone who eats from your table. So maybe millennials were tough in survival while Gen Zs are tough in confrontation, but the debate is not complete until both generations have faced the same weight of adult responsibility. Let us wait and see whether the same fire remains when life adds school fees, hospital bills, dependants, debt and the fear of one wrong move collapsing a whole family. Until then, this argument is interesting, but it is not settled......

@omgsidewalks Wambui

@zakoakley @AbdikadirMohami @SomPundit @AnalystSomalia @QulshTM ... and where is this rage coming from?

@AbdikadirMohami @SomPundit @AnalystSomalia @QulshTM Pitiful delusion and blissful ignorance,,,kenya is a fully fledged & dysfunctional vassal state,,,if in doubt see how little Macron mishandled you last week.

Imagine the arrogance of this lowly functionery... only in Africa! @SomPundit @AnalystSomalia @QulshTM

@LarryMadowo Why focus on the negative? Very unfortunate.

Africa Forward Summit was so chaotic that President Kagame was stranded outside at some point. Total’s Global CEO was also blocked, and was seen yelling at security. Some presidents & dignitaries left without speaking as things spiraled. Kenya (or France?) dropped the ball bigly

On Foreign Service Day, we honor our career diplomats. In normal times, over 70% of all U.S. Ambassadors are from the career ranks. Today, the number is just over 7%. Our country deserves better. @afsatweets

@WashiraX @AmbokoJH That's unfortunate. People's intellectual property should be acknowledged

Over the weekend, I logged into LinkedIn. All of a sudden, my timeline was full of my own content. Word for word. Stolen and posted by others. With zero credits. So I started calling out the thieves. As I am doing this, Julians Amboko noticed. @AmbokoJH But what caught my attention was his comment. He said: He has marked every single person stealing his content. They are all CPAs. That made me curious. So I went back. Reaudited my own content thieves. They were all CPAs. Some even very senior. Honest talk. - What is the problem with CPAs? - Where is ethics? - Why can’t you read, understand, then create your own authentic content? What is the problem?

This world is getting more dangerous by the day. Really worried that continued human existence on this earth is being threatened by politicians and greedy businesses as well as overzealous religious fanatics.

@FerdyOmondi Access first with Safaricom internet and then use WiFi thereafter. It worked for me.

Safaricom app is still on this nonsense when you're not in Kenya. Effectively paralyses one from transacting their money as soon as you leave the border. Which geniuses thought this is a good idea in 2026 ?

@WashiraX Interesting and entertaining

Court has warned KRA to go for real thieves, not NIL filers. There is a company called Kapwell Enterprises Limited. Their business is not complicated. They sell cargo clearing and forwarding services. When they started, they had no one to show them mashimo. They only had hope and determination. They hit the road. 2013, no deal. 2014, zero deal. 2015, no nothing. Kazi ni kufile tu NIL returns. As the director was busy tarmacking and accumulating tiny stones under his shoe heels, Some crooks had stolen & were busy importing goods using Kapwell’s KRA PIN. In 2018, Kapwell has known mashimo. They are minting real money. KRA notices. They decided to audit. Checking their internal customs system, they discovered that Kapwell’s PIN had imported goods worth 25M in 2013 and 2014. Yet they had filed NIL returns faithfully. KRA went mad. They took the 25M, added a fictitious 20% profit margin, computed income tax, VAT, penalties and interest, and slapped Kapwell with a tax bill of 11M. Next morning at 3am, the director akagurumuka. He reached for his phone to check time. Saw an email notification. Hoping it was a client, he opened it. Bahati mbaya, it was KRA. Delivering the bill. Sleep ended instant. • Lesson 1: usiku wacha simu sitting room. At dawn, without even taking tea, he rushed to KRA to report a system error. Akaambiwa ndugu keti. He was shown mad numbers on the screen. He swore he had never imported such goods. KRA wakamwabia hii utalipa. He ran to the police and reported a case of identity theft. Got an OB number. Took it back to KRA and asked them to investigate who had used his company PIN. He even gave them a list of competitors he suspected. He then served KRA all of his bank statements. They were all zeros for those years. But KRA could not hear any of it. As KRA is doing all this, it is unaware of one dangerous sentence chilling quietly in Kenyan tax law. It reads: • KRA SHALL make inquiries into all tax issues raised by a taxpayer. Make sure to underline the word SHALL. MANDATORY. KRA did not investigate. Their position was: • PIN ni yako. 11M ni yako. Lipa. Frustrated, he ran to court. The Tribunal asked KRA: Where is your investigation report? - KRA said hakuna. Tribunal invoked the one dangerous sentence. You still remember it? • KRA SHALL make inquiries. Tribunal ruled that the word SHALL is MANDATORY. Tribunal concluded Kapwell was a victim of identity theft. 11M tax was set aside. You would think that is the end. Noo. KRA retreated to Times Tower swearing: 11M haiwezi enda hivo. Aje? They appealed to the High Court. In court, Kapwell was asked: Why don’t you want to pay tax under your PIN ndugu? He responded: My lord, I have no problem paying taxes. But not for goods I never bought, never touched, and never sold. The good judge asked him: What do you mean? He responded: My Lord, if you owe your landlord 100K. You take the 100k bundle to his office and hand it to him. As he starts counting, a thief storms in, orders everyone down, and in the confusion the landlord throws the money back at you. The thief grabs it and disappears. Have you paid rent or not? The court went silent. The judge asked him: Kapwell what are you saying? He replied: My Lord, who should the landlord pursue for the money? You the tenant or the thief? Judge removed his spectacles. Paused. Then sided with Kapwell. The 11M tax was set aside. KRA wakaambiwa waende watafute wezi wawalipe. Case closed. Lesson 2. • KRA cannot tax a victim of identity theft. • KRA must go for the real beneficiary thief.

@WashiraX @sbiketi14 Ignore that. Those of us who were here to benefit were thoroughly educated by your tweet na wale wa kutafuta makosa walidandiya neno moja which you sarcastically misspelt. Keep on educating us Bw. Wa's'hira

@sbiketi14 Sawa mzee

KRA is not playing with Naivas. You know Naivas. Hii tu moja. It was a fully family owned supermarket giant. When the time came to cash out, the owners weighed their options. If they sold the supermarket from Kenya, they would pay insane taxes. So they went shopping for low tax countries. And Mauritius presented itself. It was irresistible. - 0% tax on sale of the company. In 2015, the family registered a shell company in Mauritius. Called it NIL. Then transferred all their shares to this company. So Naivas was now 100% owned by a Mauritian company. To make it even tighter, they added another layer. They set up a second shell company. Called it GFI. And transferred all NIL shares to GFI. So now: • GFI owns NIL • NIL owns Naivas Kenya Proper entanglement. Achana na hiyo yako. As all this is happening, they are unaware of one dangerous sentence sitting quietly in Kenyan tax law. It reads: • Any company managed and controlled from Kenya is a Kenyan resident company. Then the family went looking for a buyer. In 2020: • They sold 30% of the supermarket for 5.2B • By selling 30% of NIL shares So: - Naivas is still owned by NIL - But NIL now has a new shareholder And everything happened in Mauritius quietly. Nothing has changed hands in Kenya trigger anything. • Deal is closed. 0 tax. Bahati mbaya, KRA caught wind that Naivas is gone. Immediately, KRA embarked on a fault finding mission. In 2022, KRA discovered that: - The family has always lived in Kenya. Not Mauritius. - They managed and controlled every single operation of the shell companies from Kenya They invoked the one dangerous sentence. You remember it? • Any company managed and controlled from Kenya, is a Kenyan resident company. KRA said: • These Mauritius shell companies are Kenyan • They must pay tax in Kenya Tax demanded: 30% of 5.2B. Plus penalties • Total Bill: 1.8B Naivas ran to court. The court looked at it, and sided with KRA. Family wakaabiwa walipe tax. Case closed! Lesson. • Structure your offshore company properly. • Or KRA will structure it for you.

@mangekimambi @LarryMadowo As Kenyans say, 'Olololo, hii imeenda'.

Tonight, I had the pleasure of having dinner with the legendary @LarryMadowo, my Kenyan brother. We covered a wide range of topics, from Tanzania’s October 29th massacre and where the country stands today, to what lies ahead and Meta’s removal of my accounts. It was a deeply engaging and productive evening. It was a true honor to meet in person a journalist who works without fear, using his voice to speak for those who cannot.
