Hio story ya Mbadi kuuliza where is Baba now has created a big rift between him and Raila's family, hadi Ida amesurface.😡

Posta is closing 125 branches to save Sh1 billion yearly. Nearly half are already shut. I checked the financials myself. Posta has been operating at losses for years. But this is bigger than numbers. Kenya is slowly watching one of its oldest institutions die. Other countries modernized their postal systems into logistics, banking and e-commerce giants. We let ours decay. Now the price will be paid by workers and ordinary families losing jobs. That is the painful part. One day Kenyans will realize many institutions did not fail because they lacked potential. They failed because leadership failed to adapt plus corruption and looting.

Jumia Group plans to cut 10% of its workforce due to increased use of AI across its operations. The company says AI is now handling more tasks that were previously done by staff.

New electricity tariffs are now loading for July too. Kenyans are being squeezed from every direction ; expensive fuel, expensive electricity, expensive transport and rising food prices while salaries remain stagnant and unemployment keeps rising.

Breaking: Kenya now has the most expensive diesel in East Africa. Think deeply about what that means. Tanzania - 211 ksh Uganda - 174ksh Rwanda - 195ksh Kenya - 242ksh Ethiopia- 148Ksh Burundi- 170Ksh So a Ugandan farmer, transporter, or manufacturer starts business every morning already 68ksh ahead of a Kenyan. Then we wonder why Kenyan businesses are collapsing while imports from neighboring countries keep rising. Why Uganda is exporting Sugar, eggs, maize, etc to Kenya You cannot punish production, overtax fuel, and then preach industrialization. At this rate, Kenya risks becoming a consumer economy feeding the industries and jobs of its neighbors while its own citizens sink deeper into poverty. And the people making these decisions will never queue for matatus, never worry about unga prices, and never buy diesel with their own money.

Kenya needs leaders who fear hunger in homes more than they fear losing political seats. Right now, too many leaders are defending power while citizens defend survival.

Live from Broadbased Headquarters: Petrol ---- 214.25 Diesel ---- 242.92 Congratulations Diesel!!

Political leaders should be amiable, NOT angry, vengeful, visibly enraged, emotionally wrathful, and bitter. In a world where people are living through pain and hopelessness, only politicians who speak with grace, hope, stoicism and an affable tone will be embraced.

For the next few days, NIS will be busy manufacturing distractions. They will try as much as possible to make the pain caused by fuel price hikes look like some comedy. They will sponsor outrage with the word "but" in it. They might even sponsor some demonstrations to disarm you because you will think someone is fighting for you. They will even make it look like tyrant William Kipchirchir Ruto cares about you so much. Wake up.

A police Land Cruiser was overturned in Moyale after reports that officers shot over 6 protesters, with some already feared dead. That vehicle is not the real story. The deaths are. Every time police bullets are used on civilians, public anger grows even deeper. You cannot keep responding to protests with force, then act surprised when rage erupts back at the system. Must you kill the people?

Kenyans are insane. Why allow a rogue gov't borrow shs 64b as a precautionary package measure and raise your fuel tax? This is crude. Riot!!

Kenya gov't will collapse in 10-15 yrs from now with public debt of kshs 2.6 trillion currently if oil and minerals aren't mined in 7 yrs.

Ksh 211B was stolen through the unconstitutional Railway Development Levy Fund. Remember Railway Development Levy is a tax incurred in every litre of fuel purchased. A government that cannot trace looted funds should not be allowed to increase fuel prices. #RutoMustGoNow

This is the first time in Kenya’s history diesel has gone up by Sh46 to Sh243 in a single fuel pricing cycle after an EPRA review. When diesel goes up like that: — Cost of living goes up — Logistics costs go up (Yet salaries remain the same)

@Asamoh_ @WilliamsRuto Hapa Nandi petrol is unchanged, propaganda yako hiyo bwana. Huko Mt Kenya ndio imepanda tu.

Why can't access to your business documents on eCitizen be just a simple "click and download" process? Why should it be a difficult, convoluted process?

Tha problem with our government is that when fuel prices rise globally they increase the prices but when it drops they don't lower the prices by the margin required.

A Sh46 diesel increase means: Higher food prices. Higher matatu fare. Higher electricity costs. Every Kenyan will feel this pain. Take a few seconds and tweet; REJECT FUEL PRICES REJECT FUEL PRICES Let’s make this impossible to ignore.
