@wa_muthithi @mabrukix @inglorious_bat If there’s one thing this govt has done is shown how the previous 10 yrs were a waste of time and potential. Imagine where we’d be if all these projects started a decade ago

Aliko Dangote: I applaud President Museveni for his bold decision to ban the export of unprocessed minerals. I also want to commit to the two presidents here that, with their support for the refinery, we will build a similar one in East Africa like the one we have in Nigeria.

@Amena__Bakr @DavidNdii I hope @DavidNdii retweeting means Kenya is actively pushing for it to be Kenya .

Spotted this during my trip, sisi tulikosea wapi jameni 😫😫
It’s like buying an ex-Japan GLE and expecting a mention from the German Embassy.
Still though, not everything requires crying wolf.

I know of 3 or 4 other Kenyan aviation companies that purchased several Dash 8 Q400 aircraft but there was no mention of them by the Canadian embassy in Kenya. Selective amnesia?
English
@WillieOeba It’s one thing to criticize govt and quite another to undermine your country. Even mentioning this without CAF verification shows you are happy enough for Kenya to fail provided it disparages GoK.

AFCON 2027 STARTING ON JUNE 19TH MAY BE MOVED TO SOUTH AFRICA BECAUSE OF UNDER PREPAREDNESS OF THE 3 EAST AFRICAN NATIONS
WHAT IS YOUR TAKE !!

@troublemanke @mabrukix These were poorly designed, look at the space between the blocks and the lack of proper finish or amenities. The affordable housing units have tried to address those risks , being built like communities rather than just holding units
English
@mabrukix You have no foresight if you can't see that those units will just become vertical slums eventually
English
Save 5 million + Kenyans living in sewage infested slums, provide affordable mortgage finance and address 2,000,000 housing units deficit.

Whats the end game for the Affordable housing plan?

@amenya_nelson Zero law enforcement. That’s the problem. Nairobi and a lot of African cities, it’s the law of the jungle . Rules are simply a suggestion. And that is why there is so much chaos
English
This makes me so sick cause it’s not like we don’t have the capacity to be a proper city.
Andrew Barden@AndrewWBarden
Make this make sense. Nairobi’s most exclusive hotel (hosting heads of state tomorrow) and the moment you step outside, complete chaos.
English
@tekinsaeko @Honeyfarsafi It’s a balance , Burundians and Rwandans are very well behaved and hard working…. While we see higher criminality from Nigerian immigrants. Immigration policy should address both risk and opportunity

@mohamed_daghar @davis_chirchir We have seen too many of these briefing sessions. Can you keep the updates within yourselves until you are ready to announce tangible actions? Start dates / schedules/ confirmed designs …. Everything else just irritates us . Nairobi is falling behind as Addis creates a 10yr gap
English
I met with Ambassadors, Heads of Missions, Government officials, and G7+ Development Partners on behalf of the Cabinet Secretary @davis_chirchir to take stock on the progress of priority transport sector programmes within the Nairobi Metropolitan Area.
Our discussions underscored the critical importance of sustained collaboration in delivering an integrated, efficient, and sustainable urban transport system to decongest Nairobi and enhance mobility.
Key flagship initiatives include the Nairobi Railway City Central Station Project as the anchor, supported by Bus Rapid Transit Lines 2 & 3, Commuter Rail Lines 1 & 2, the SGR link to Syokimau, and Non-Motorised Transport infrastructure; all geared towards enabling the movement of up to 30,000 passengers per hour by 2030.
We are working together with the Prime Cabinet Secretary's office, Government State Departments, Kenya Railways Corporation, KeNHA, KURA, NaMATA, the Nairobi City County Government, and our development partners to fast track project delivery and realise our shared vision of a modern, accessible, and efficient transport system.

@Sophie_Mokoena @CyrilRamaphosa "Prior commitments" is a polite way of saying "You disinvited me from the G7, so don't expect me to show up for the photo op in Nairobi”😎
English
The South African president Cyril Ramaphosa will not attend the France-Africa Summit in Nairobi Kenya next month due to prior commitments. @CyrilRamaphosa #sabcnews

The main problem with Kenya is we act like we are a rich country when in fact we are not. Politicians embezzle the little that is there then borrow heavily to please mwananchi.
English
@NDIMBO_KE @mohamedkomz In fact an express way all the way from the airport would be perfect
English
@NDIMBO_KE @mohamedkomz They should PPP it and toll it and let Ndongo Kundu be free

This is basically the design for Mombasa Gate bridge. And with JICA funding at least 40% of the money would stay home. And with Japanese contractors subcontract most work it will be a lot higher.
Akech Andrew@akech_andrew
The most expensive bridge in Africa is in Mozambique. Maputo–Katembe Bridge is 3 km long with clear span of 680 metres. It cost $785 million. But here is the fascinating part. The project was 95% funded by Chinese Exim Bank and the project was flipped back straightto China Road and Bridge Corporation. No single coin of the $681.6 loan landed in Mozambique. Funded by China. Constructed by China and Mozambique will pay the loan to China.

@Briankariu Nothing wrong with peaceful protests. Happens In all major influential cities around the world to raise awareness of plights of people by the resident diaspora . Even Kenyans protested in London during finance bill
English
Now, why are congolese and Burundians demonstrating on the streets of Nairobi?
English
@kenyanwalstreet How are Ethiopia doing it ? After a default mind you that led to massive currency devaluation. @DavidNdii any lessons we are taking and applying from Addis ?

Kenyan Wall Street@kenyanwalstreet
Kenya's 2026 growth outlook has been cut across the board as the Middle East conflict raises energy costs, disrupts remittances, and weighs on exports. 🔻 IMF revised its forecast to 4.5% from 4.9% 🔻 World Bank to 4.4% from 4.9% 🔻 Fitch to 5.0% from 5.2% 🔻 CBK to 5.3% from 5.5%. If realized, the IMF and World Bank forecasts would mark Kenya's weakest growth since 2013, excluding the 2020 COVID contraction of -0.3%, ending a recovery that peaked at 7.6% in 2021 and averaged 5.3% between 2021 and 2025. The IMF also raised Kenya's 2026 inflation forecast to 5.9% from 5.2%. Sub-Saharan Africa growth is projected at 4.3% in 2026, with oil-importing economies most exposed. Global growth has been revised to 3.1% for 2026, down from an estimated 3.4% in 2025.
