The only way to save Kenya. Maraga the 6th.

BREAKING: The High Court has embarrassed the president and other govt leaders. Judges have quashed the appointment of Aisha Jumwa as Chair of the Kenya Roads Board. Even the Attorney General, Dorcas Oduor, defended the appointment. The court still threw it out. Why? Because the law is clear. To chair KRB, you must belong to specific professional bodies like LSK, ICPAK, IEK, ISK, AAK, or others listed in the KRB act section 7. The court found Jumwa does not belong to any of them. Justice Bahati Mwamuye also ruled the appointment violated Articles 10, 47, and 232 of the Constitution. This is bigger than Jumwa. It is about a government trying to turn public offices into political rewards. KRB controls roads and billions of taxpayer dollars. Those jobs are supposed to go to qualified people, not loyalists. Today, the court sent a message to the State House: Kenya is governed by law. Not by presidential moods. Not by political friendships. And for once, the Constitution won.

The Standard draws a sharp contrast between the President and his people:

The 13th session of the UN World Urban Forum is being held in Baku, Azerbaijan.The theme of this years forum is “Housing the world: Safe and resilient cities and communities” These are not the forums where nations send their Presidents to. They are forums where nations are represented by junior level officials such as sections heads or directors in ministries. I was therefore surprised to learn that the Kenyan President has hired a private jet, costing taxpayers kshs 4 million per hour to attend the forum. I then checked the program and found that the State Department for Housing and Urban Development is set to present at the forum. Kenya has other 7 speakers, three are from UN Habitat and UNEP, Michael from MICOP Kenya, Nassim Majidi of Samuel Hall, Nduta an advocate of Juvenile-Onset Parkinson and Sandra Odhiambo, a disability rights advocate. No Country, even our neighbors is sending their President, except Kenya. It’s either Ruto is idle or just likes wasting our taxes for him to be attending forums that the Hinga guy of affordable housing should be representing Kenya. That kshs 4 million per hour he using for that jet plus the millions that will be used to house and feed his delegation of joyrides could have been used for something helpful to the public, if Ruto had akili.

Instead of using the government jet, “Harambee One,” Ruto has decided to hire a luxurious Boeing jet, T7-BBJ2, for his three-day trip to Azerbaijan. The jet costs 18,600 USD per hour (about KSh 2.4 million). The logistics for the plane’s crew cost up to 12,000 USD (KSh 1.5 million). Parking a Boeing-sized aircraft at Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Azerbaijan for three nights adds roughly 10,000 USD (KSh 1.29 million). Handling fees, diplomatic clearance processing, and airspace overflight permits across Africa and the Middle East add another 25,000 USD (KSh 3.2 million). Don’t forget that State House spends KSh 42 million daily on hospitality and state receptions. In the next three days, Ruto will spend more than KSh 300 million of your taxes. Just imagine struggling so hard to pay taxes, only for them to be misappropriated through reckless public spending. Nikikumbuka Ksh 80 bob in every litre of fuel is tax,hasira inapanda.

I have seen a report that the killer regime is planning to increase NSSF deductions and unconstitutionally use the money for a different purpose. It's the same script that IMF tried in Hungary, 2010 and what followed later, was a disaster. Suicides, more debts and dead economy. This clip is seventeen minutes long (Part 1 and 2) and it is worth your time.

Kenyans are hurting. The economy is not working for us. It will be a tragedy to allow Ruto to come back. Let’s work together on #Ukombozi wa nchi yetu.

BREAKING: Today, I can reveal that President William Ruto has reportedly left Azerbaijan and is currently headed to Kazakhstan. For the last few hours, we have been actively tracking the President’s private chartered jet. Flight data shows it departed Azerbaijan at exactly 11:39 AM (07:39 UTC), and Astana airport systems have already updated its expected arrival later this afternoon. What makes this even more controversial is the timing. Kenyans are currently protesting painful fuel prices across the country, yet the President has remained completely silent. In fact, he left the country just a day before the protests intensified, in what I would call fleeing. I can also reveal that this private chartered jet reportedly costs up to $30,000 PER HOUR to operate. Multiply that by roughly 5 hours, and taxpayers could be looking at nearly KSh 18 million spent on this trip alone. While ordinary Kenyans are struggling with rising costs and fuel prices, the President appears to be moving from country to country as the crisis at home escalates. In my opinion, this is becoming the definition of a “tourist presidency.” And trust me, there is still much more we have uncovered that I will reveal later. Follow me - Sholla Ard - so you don’t miss what many would prefer stays hidden. We do this for our country, Kenya.

Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen’s press conference was not only disappointing, but deeply reckless and divisive. At a time when millions of Kenyans are crying out over the unbearable cost of living and the painful rise in fuel prices, the government has chosen the dangerous path of intimidation, political blame games and tribal undertones instead of listening to the people. Kenyans are not protesting because they have been “influenced.” They are protesting because life has become unbearable. Every increase in fuel prices pushes food prices higher, cripples businesses, burdens farmers, matatu operators and ordinary families struggling to survive. Reducing genuine public frustration into political propaganda is an insult to the suffering wananchi. Murkomen’s attempt to ask why matatu operators and commuters did not take to the streets during the previous administration, but are doing so now, is completely beside the point. Kenyans are not engaging in protests based on nostalgia or comparison of regimes; they are reacting to the present economic pressure, the present hunger, and the present hardship. That line of argument is political deflection dressed up as reasoning, and it collapses under the weight of the real crisis Kenyans are living through. A responsible government listens to its people. It does not threaten them with security forces simply because they have raised legitimate concerns. The solution is not intimidation or endless excuses. The government must urgently return to Parliament, remove the punitive fuel levies and consider subsidies to cushion Kenyans from this economic crisis. Leadership is not scapegoating; it is owning the crisis, fixing the problem, and answering citizens with action, not blame.

❗ VIDEO - Inside the govt fuel negotiations that flopped.

Things just got awkward live on TV. Opiyo Wandayi claimed they had agreed a deal with matatu operators to end the strike and even said there were no questions only for one of the matatu leaders to go live moments later and completely contradict him. This is exactly the kind of courage Kenya needs. Speak the truth publicly. Don’t let leaders rewrite reality while cameras are rolling.

Cornelius Chepsoi: There is an ugly thinking that we must get away from. This idea that the government believes the solution to every problem is a price increment is tragic. There is no more elasticity, the Kenyan has gotten to the maximum, they cannot take any other price adjustment #CitizenMondayReport

The 2026 extra judicial killings trend is extremely worrying…today, @VOCALAfrica_ has confirmed at least 5 more have been added to these statistics.

@otienowill On top of fuel price reduction kenyans should demand pay cut for all politicians and removal of all allowances. Let them take loans like all kenyans

Are some people in this country considered more human than others? When ordinary citizens are struggling with rising fuel prices, high taxation, collapsing purchasing power, and an unbearable cost of living, the political class remains heavily cushioned by public money. MPs continue receiving generous fuel allowances, car maintenance allocations, and multiple taxpayer-funded privileges while the same taxpayers financing those luxuries are being told to tighten their belts and endure economic hardship “for the sake of national stability.” That contradiction is morally disturbing. The ordinary Kenyan pays more for transport, food, electricity, and basic survival every single month, yet leaders insulated from that suffering continue operating within a protected economic bubble financed by the very people carrying the burden. Austerity is constantly prescribed to citizens but rarely practiced by the political elite themselves. A serious government cannot continuously demand sacrifice from the public while preserving comfort at the top. Leadership should begin with shared hardship, not institutionalized privilege. “A society begins to decay the moment leaders are protected from the suffering they impose on the people.”

There is no fuel crisis in Kenya. What we are witnessing is the unbearable cost of theft. The burden of corruption has become too heavy for the ordinary mwananchi to carry. The same politicians who masquerade as liberators of the people would rather watch Kenyans suffer, sink deeper into poverty, and struggle to survive while they loot public funds meant to provide relief in moments like this. They would rather funnel money into offshore accounts and buy overpriced properties in global capitals than stand with the mama mbogas, bodas, hustlas who believed in the dream they sold and gave them power. And Parliament, sits in silence. MPs lament on television and social media as though they are helpless spectators, yet they possess the constitutional power to legislate, provide oversight, and shield wananchi from exploitation. Their silence has a price and that price has been paid by public funds at the expense of Wanjiku.

Today we reveal that William Ruto flew to Azerbaijan on a chattered private jet T7-BBJ2. Not the usual T-70 aircraft many of us are used to tracking. We tracked it leaving Nairobi. It landed early this morning EAT. Now here is where the questions begin. Jets in this category can reportedly cost about $18,000 per hour on the lower end and rise beyond $30,000+ per hour. That could place the trip cost in the tens of millions of shillings one-way. Kenyans are being told to tighten belts. Families are struggling with taxes, fuel and the cost of living. So I ask: Should sacrifice only happen at the bottom? Anyway follow me sholla ard, as more details are coming that we'll reveal

I fully endorse and will participate in the national strike against fuel hikes called by the Kenya Transport Sector Alliance this Monday. so help us God.

You’re putting Kenyans’ lives at risk by lying that only a minority of matatu operators are on strike. All public service vehicles are on strike because Ruto has hiked fuel prices to pocket illegal billions and finance his wantam campaign. #RutoMustGo

The internet never forgets. Watch this 2021 video carefully. This is Moses Wetang'ula, furious at Uhuru Kenyatta because fuel had reached KSh135. Watch how he asks why fuel was cheaper in Uganda than in Kenya. Today, fuel is at KSh242. What changed?
