The William Ruto govt promised that the new university funding model would fix everything. Instead, it’s quietly pulling the rug from under students by reducing allocations. 2023 → 100% funding (KSh 29.5B) was paid 2024 → 64% 2025 → 57% And now students are logging into portals only to find fee balances of over KSh 100,000. So what changed? Under the old model, funding was predictable. Under this “new model,” support can be reduced anytime. That’s the real story. This isn’t a mistake. It’s a system where the govt decides how much you “deserve”, then cuts it. And students are the ones paying the price.

Imagine a government agency doing what would land you in trouble instantly. The Auditor-General has exposed what’s happening at NCIC, and it's troubling. They were allocated ~KSh 20M for travel, but spent over KSh 132M on travel, more than 5× the budget. Then it gets worse. They went to a local bank and ran an unauthorized overdraft (basically a “Fuliza”) of KSh 118M, something that is illegal for a public institution without National Treasury approval. That decision alone cost taxpayers over KSh 822,000 in interest. And it doesn’t end there. The audit shows missing supporting records for that travel that could explain the 132 million spent. The Auditor-General concluded management was in breach of the law. This is happening at a public institution chaired by Rev. Samuel Kobia. A religious leader who you would expect would be following the word of God and protect Kenyans from Corruption and looting. If this doesn’t trigger accountability, what will? Where is Parliament? Where is EACC? Where is the follow-up? Both are silent. Kenyans are taxed every day. Then a few misuse the money.

Gladys Shollei is pushing a dangerous amendment, and Kenyans should pay attention. Yesterday, during a debate on the Public Participation Bill, she proposed removing a key safeguard: the requirement to publish public participation outcomes. Right now, Section 12(2) requires that once public participation is done, the results be made public, for example, on a website, so citizens can see what Kenyans actually said. Her proposal? Remove it completely or Keep that information private. If you want it, you must apply to the same authority that collected it. Let me be honest, we already know how this ends. We have been requesting NHIF, Housing levy, and capitation data for over 6 months. Letters sent to MOH and MOE. No response. Total silence. We are now heading to court soon. Now imagine this: A bad bill is rejected by Kenyans during public participation. The authority then claims: “Kenyans supported it.” How do you verify? You write to them, and they ignore you. That’s the trap. This amendment would legalize secrecy and make it impossible to hold the government accountable. Public participation without transparency is just a rubber stamp. MPs must reject this amendment. Kenyans deserve a public portal where participation outcomes are visible, verifiable, and permanent. Enough hiding. Article 35 on access to information is becoming ceremonial, and soon, we will prove that in court.

When oil was at historic lows of $67 last year, they refused to lower the prices and pass on the savings to us. Now, it's heading to $120 a barrel. And they are already asking us to swallow the pain through higher prices. Kazi yetu ni kumeza uchungu, na wao wakule mautamu.

Our government truly cares for us. When international fuel prices were at an all time low, we were told G to G kosokoso. But now we have to pay the price. Brace Kenyans brace!!

Kenya is about to lose KSh 3.6 BILLION, not because of war, not because of crisis, but because of sheer government stupidity. The State Department cleared Oryx Energies to import 60,000MT of fuel outside the G-to-G deal according to Citizen Tv. Then suddenly, they changed their mind. The fuel was already on the high seas. Now the company wants KSh 3.6 BILLION from Kenyans for losses. Think about that for a moment. Decisions made recklessly. Reversed carelessly. And YOU & I are the one paying for it. How do you greenlight such a deal, then cancel when it’s too late? This is not incompetence anymore. This is economic sabotage. We are being punished for mistakes they didn’t make.

Lets be serious for once,this is a hospital in Turkana? khaiiii

Govenors builds a dispensary worth 3 million then uses 5 million to launch it, yet there are no beds inside.

So there’s a healthcare bill in Parliament by Kimani Ichung’wah, currently at Second Reading And if you care about your taxes, you should be paying attention. In fact, I warned about this last week, that a lot of these bills in Parliament aren’t really about solving problems They’re about creating offices that the Executive can fill. Now look at this one 👇🏾 It proposes creating a new body called the Quality Healthcare & Patient Safety Authority. Its roles? - License hospitals - Accredit facilities - Inspect and audit - Enforce compliance - Handle complaints - Set national standards But, aren’t these roles already being done by KMPDC, PPB, even SHA, etc.? And the bill is NOT scrapping those existing bodies. This new authority will have duplicate roles to existing bodies. They are creating another layer, offices,s and another budget. Now, check the appointments side. The CEO and top officials? Appointed by the Health CS. And the CS? Appointed by the President. This is exactly what I was talking about. This is what parliament is doing now, Create a new authority → create positions → Executive then uses them to reward friends. And it’s all funded by our taxes. At the same time, we’re being told: “There’s no money.” “We need austerity.” But somehow there’s always money for: -new authorities -new boards -new tribunals Meanwhile: Hospitals are struggling Patients are fundraising Healthcare workers are overwhelmed I don’t know, Maybe I’m overthinking it. But it’s starting to look like these “reforms” are less about wananchi and more about expanding space for appointments. What do you think?

You refer a patient for stitching to another facility because there is no local anesthesia drug that costs 50 bob. I've seen enough with these counties.

Medical ward patients wako kama 80 na nurses ni wawili tu, dawa inapeanwa from 8pm to 11pm. Admissions zinaingia, kuna mwenye condition yake imekua mbaya anafaa CPR, kuna mwenye amekuja kulia hakupata food. Mamaye ni kubaya!!!

You see the goons being funded by politicians to cause mayhem and chaos? Once they are done with the political activities they will turn their anger and rungus to all of us. No one is safe!!

Our politicians are very predictable. They are back mashinani, talking nicely, eating from kibandaski and being down to earth!!

@OscaBon @anne_odida Even this he can't. BIO, chem and math/physics must all be at least C+ as regulated by the Nursing Council of Kenya

@anne_odida Maybe self sponsored

Eti with a mean grade of B plain, with a C- in chemistry mtu hawezi fanya BSN? Bachelor of science in Nursing?

It seems ozempic has become the new panadol. If you must use it, at least consult & use it under the guidance of a qualified doctor. Stop getting the injections from salons & beauty shops, otherwise you will be a ghost of your former self There have said it! Have a healthy 2026
