@joeblackzw It's actually sickening

It’s jarring. Fly with Emirates from Switzerland to Dubai, it’s all haute cuisine and live TV. Change in Dubai for Lusaka/Harare, and you’re strapped to the ailerons eating congealed food watching Rushing Hour 3.

@ntvkenya @jamessmat @SylviaKathoni Do journalists even bother to interrogate, or they just spew out the garbage like a sewer, word for word?

Govt Reverses Infrastructure Slump: The government is reversing a decade-long slump in infrastructure investment. New data from the National Treasury has revealed a massive Sh92 billion jump in development spending. #NTVTonight @jamessmat @SylviaKathoni

@KKombani This is actually hilarious!!

How are you telling me I don't have info and yet (1) I am the author (2) I also sell the books myself (3) Everyone else - including TBC and Nuria - sells this book at 750/-. Oxford recommends it at 750/. Note I have reached out to you guys before because of exorbitant pricing.

@CatholicAce @OMG_ITS_NDABA So it has nothing to do with white farmers?

@OMG_ITS_NDABA A 1.1% increase, attributable to the higher than average rain this past year.

The 'farmers' fled to America and crop yields immediately went up

@thatkenyankid @Kibet_bull @Stoner254K Look at per Capita. Can't use nominal GDP ignoring population. Wueeeeh. Google has no password my brother.

@Kibet_bull @Stoner254K

It took 4 years for William Ruto to bring down our country.

@ShehuSani A genius in a society is not a god indicator of the general population. I'm sure you get it.

Ruto is mocking the English of the Country with a Nobel Prize for literature winner.The Nation of Achebe and Chimamanda.

@BuySellStopcom @24_70xu I thought the mighty US was going to open the Strait, or that changed as fast as cheese on a hot pan? We're used to the pendulum statements by americans. Zero grounding or principle.

@24_70xu I am typing slowly so low IQ clowns like you can keep up: There is no reason enter The Strait. There is no reason to invade Iran. All the US has to do is leave on the blockade and blow shit up. The entire Iranian economy is 2 weeks from total collapse and then beyond repair.

U.S. has currently deployed 3 aircraft carriers around Iran, along with over a 200 fighter jets and more than 12 naval ships. Even so, it does not have the confidence to enter the Strait of Hormuz or the Persian Gulf. It is still staying about 200 kilometers away from Iran’s coast due to fear.

@xysist Yes because so called Kenyan professionals have been too busy gate keeping the profession on one hand, while short changing Kenyans on projects in exchange for some loot. Let the foreigners do the work until we learn good manners!!

Architect Dancan Odhiambo has said what every professional in the built environment has been lamenting about - Work that can be done by Kenyans is being outsourced to external guys. The government of Kenya does not care about its professionals. SAD

@tonykaromo It's called order. It's a strange phenomenon to Kenyans haven gotten used to the mess that is Nairobi.

Living in Tatu City is not easy.  Children under 13 must be accompanied, walking is on specific pavements and pets should not make noise. To enter you require identification, house you are visiting, owner's confirmation....aand you must remember the entry number to exit.

@NyargotS @AndrewWBarden Absolutely spot on. They can pick their damn hotel and move it. Leave our road as bad as it is, it's ours. Thank you very much for your attention.

@AndrewWBarden They found the road there right? If they wanted peace and tranquility we have konza city, masaai mara, turkana, wajir the list is endless. The madness is the allure, just irresistable. Enjoy. I can give you a tour of eastlands for free

Make this make sense. Nairobi’s most exclusive hotel (hosting heads of state tomorrow) and the moment you step outside, complete chaos.

@moneyacademyKE Biggest load of nonsense. Until we start with meritocracy, rather than psychophancy, at the very top, this is a wet dream. Meritocracy begets itself, mediocrity also does the same.

Kenya’s government plans to introduce a merit-based recruitment system in public service, where jobs will be awarded based on qualifications under a new tech-driven process.

@KeKirwa Surely, what kind of reasoning is this? Are we this shallow and empty? Is this rage baiting?

Mwabili is now begging people to subscribe to his YouTube channel. From a restaurant manager to a struggling rage content creator. Life comes at you so fast.

@inglorious_bat Makes two of us. I think I can cart along at least a dozen to ensure he doesn't make it to the start line.

I vote in Langata. In the spirit of reach one, bring one, I am certainly bringing at least one person to vote AGAINST this brother. Godspeed

@nickiBIGFISH Does it still exist? Is it the one headed by a semi senile chap?

The moribund NCIC is waiting for either Rigathi or anyone from his team to say something slightly close to this then they’ll issue the most nonsensical statement ever. A group of poor actors.

@Leonmuigz The reason that happens is because we don't plan. Trees are part of the aesthetics when planning developments. Unfortunately, we don't plan. It's just not an African thing.

In Nairobi any road expansion project MUST first involve cutting down innocent trees.

@sholard_mancity So will we also import twice a month?

Rongo MP is proposing a law to allow the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) to review fuel prices every 14 days instead of 30. He argues it will lower prices since global markets change fast. Sounds great when prices are falling. But when they rise, are you ready for fuel to go up just as fast? We can’t only think about the “good side” of policy. And does this align with the G-to-G deal, or quietly contradict it? Be careful what you wish for. Let’s wait and see the actual bill.

@onjolo_kenya What happens when you hand over anything to an African. Exactly what happened to the old rail. KR were unable to run it,and we went right ahead and added them another one to destroy. Well, here we are.....

The Executive Public Toilet at SGR, Syokimau Terminus 😳😳😳

@onjolo_kenya If they do all these right, how do they eat, which is both their short and long term strategy?

NTSA holds more leverage than it probably realises. Define the standards. Set the minimum capacity. Phase out the small buses. Then get out of the way and let private capital do the rest. The next generation of Nairobi matatus builds itself if the rules make it inevitable. We can debate this forever. Nothing moves until someone decides to move it. This is about what Nairobi deserves as a capital city not aesthetics. Safe vehicles. Dignified travel. Buses that a wheelchair user can actually board. That’s the baseline. The Nganya culture isn’t dying it’s relocating. Let it define the identity of the next town on the rise. Nairobi has outgrown it.

@ledamalekina For crying out loud, sit down, out and shut up. You don't have the breadth nor the latitude to analyse such matters with your level of greed and ignorance.

Unless we rein in ministry officials working in cohort with KPC officials and Uganda oil marketers, and prioritize our own fuel reserves at least 540,000 MT to cushion us for three months we will continue to face supply risks. How do you explain a situation where transit fuel, destined for neighboring countries like Uganda, is given priority in storage at KPC over our own local reserves? @WilliamsRuto @OpiyoWandayi @kenyapipeline

@ledamalekina Who elects these nincompoops? We have ourselves as the electorate to blame. What claptrap is this? This is someone who is supposed to oversight legislation and can't even exercise simple critical thinking or reasoning!!

I know it hurts a lot, but the truth is : Fuel isn’t “free money.” Cheaper fuel means less levy revenue for roads. Kenya has 164,967 km of roads, 15.1% paved (24,868 km); Uganda has 146,000 km, 4.4% paved (6,466 km); Tanzania has 181,000 km, 8% paved (15,000 km). Kenya uses a fuel/roads levy, and cheaper fuel still means less road funding unless the gap is covered elsewhere. The choice is simple: lower taxes and cheaper fuel with slower road development, or higher levies and stronger road expansion. The opposition should stop turning every fuel conversation into cheap politics and blaming Ruto for everything.
