Couldn't catch him! 🔥 Congratulations to Sabastian Sawe on his fastest marathon (male) at 1:59:30. He also beats Eliud Kipchoge’s fastest marathon distance #londonmarathon @LondonMarathon

Kenya is a crime scene. It's only fools like you and me that pay taxes. This is pure nonsense.

The IMF says it cannot continue talks with Kenya on a new programme until the government responds to the delayed corruption audit report.

The language of development is the most sophisticated imperial vocabulary ever constructed. "Good governance." "Institutional capacity." "Enabling environment." "Civil society strengthening." "Participatory approaches." "Country ownership." "Evidence-based policy." All of it sounds collaborative. All of it sounds technical. All of it sounds like it is about the poor country's self-determination. None of it changes who sets the conditionalities for the loans. None of it changes who controls the international financial architecture. None of it changes whose currency is the global reserve. None of it changes whose subsidized agricultural exports destroy the market for the small farmer in the country being "developed." The language is designed to make power invisible by describing its operations in the vocabulary of partnership. Partners, by definition, are equals. No one in the room is equal. But the language of partnership makes it impolite to point this out. Which is, of course, the function of the language.

Auditor General reveals massive irregularities in the latest audit on the eCitizen platform. We’ve done a deep thread on the audit for the FY ended June 2025 — here’s the summary. Read and share widely:

The Auditor General has flagged the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party for failing to deduct PAYE, SHIF, NSSF, and the housing levy from employees’ pay as required by law over the last 2 years. Further, the party did not remit withholding tax deducted from suppliers to KRA.

When Uhuru left power, NSSF was at flat rate of KSh 200. For Ruto, it's 6% on the employer side and 6% on the employee side. When Uhuru was leaving power, the dollar was KSh 118. Ruto took it to 160 and brought it down to 129. When Uhuru was leaving power, petrol was going for KSh 158 with subsidy. Ruto took it to 217, brought it down to 178, and now it’s at 198 with subsidy. When Uhuru was leaving power, the maximum NHIF contribution was KSh 1,700. For Ruto, it's 2.75% of your salary. During Uhuru’s time, KSh 100 would give you about 6 KPLC units of tokens, but under Ruto you now get about 3 units for the same amount. During Uhuru’s time, VAT across key sectors was 8%, but under Ruto it has gone up to 16%. For Uhuru, affordable housing meant no deductions on your payslip, but under Ruto, you now have an additional mandatory deduction. Despite all this, borrowing hasn’t stopped. In fact, it has picked up. So, how has Ruto reduced the cost of living ?🤔

Your sink needs to look like this before you sleep please!!!!

Anyone else following the drama at the African Union? Burundi which is chairing the African Union, tried to bulldoze its way and impose Macky Sall as AU’s candidate for the UN Secretary General position. Without authority, it informed the President of the UN General Assembly that Macky Sall was the African candidate, in these words “my government, current Chair of the African Union, nominates His Excellency Macky Sall, former President of the Republic of Senegal, for the position of Secretary-General of the United Nations”. Then when the gross breach of procedure was challenged, it then submitted Macky Sall under a 24 hour silence procedure to Member States. In essence, AU Heads of State and Government had only 24 hours to either endorse, by keeping silent, an AU decision that "EXPRESSES ITS FIRM SUPPORT to the President of the Republic of Burundi, H.E. Evariste Ndayishimiye, Chairperson of the AU for 2026, for having presented the candidacy of President Macky Sall [...] for the position of Secretary-General of the United Nations", or to reject it by breaking the silence. Well, 20 countries I understand have broken the silence procedure. Meaning that Macky Sall has not been accepted as AU candidate for the position. Even Senegal was like, what the hell! We have never endorsed Macky Sall for this bullshit. 🤣 Developing story!

How do I explain it to my kids?

I’m in love with this sentence: “The best math you can learn is how to calculate the future cost of current decisions.”

OPINION: For the first time in my life, I felt genuinely embarrassed watching the evening news with my children—my daughter Wangechi, 21, and my son, Lord Byron, 13. And for the first time, I found myself angry with my President, not as a political observer, but as a parent. Listening to the President, especially the part where he ranted on and on about how an unnamed political opponent had impregnated a girl “his daughter’s age” and killed the baby, was jarring. It was not just political; it was deeply personal, crude, and wholly inappropriate for a national platform. As a parent seated next to a girl the same age as the one invoked in that statement, I felt a line had been crossed. This was no longer about politics; it was about dignity, values, and the example set before impressionable minds. ow.ly/g8pv50YwOeg

First, i would like to send my sincere condolences to the family that lost a loved one during the collapse and send a quick recovery message to those in hospitals recuperating. While I was the design architect, the client, upon receiving the approval drawings and NCA permit as required by the law, we asked him to employ the services of a reputable contractor and share a work program so we could do periodic inspections. The guy went quiet. We never heard from him until the day the building collapsed. The structural engineer was also not aware of the construction having begun. We shall let due process take its effect and hope developers can learn from this to avert future loss of lives and properties

LMAO this is first major break between bad buddies 😭🤣😂

The Nairobi Hospital (Kenya Hospital Association) does not have shareholders in the conventional corporate sense: — The institution is a company limited by guarantee, meaning it operates as a not-for-profit private hospital rather than a shareholder-owned company. — Instead of shareholders, it has members (guarantors) who collectively own the institution and whose liability is limited to a nominal guarantee amount. — Governance and strategic oversight are exercised through two main bodies: Board of Trustees and Board of Management — The hospital’s assets, including land, buildings, medical infrastructure, and financial investments, are held in trust for the institution’s mission of providing healthcare rather than for shareholder profit distribution. — Any financial surplus is reinvested into hospital development, infrastructure, technology, and clinical services, rather than paid out as dividends.
