@j_makite @sholard_mancity ...And that is where 'Kenyans' draw the line , they dont want digitisation . If you force them , the systems will be sabotaged all through until you go back to the manual (thieving) system

@sholard_mancity Technology stops all that nonsense. The law must make it mandatory to digitise revenue collection. That's it.

During the Senate grilling of the Kitui Governor, it was revealed that county staff were collecting cess from sand trucks daily… ...but pocketing it. Here’s the shocking part: In a whole year, official records show only 8 trucks paid cess. Yet on the ground, over 5 trucks leave the county DAILY. So who has been collecting this money every day? Because clearly, wananchi are paying... but the county isn’t receiving. Now this brings a bigger question: How sure are we that taxes collected by counties are actually remitted? Because this looks like a loophole where officials collect money from wananchi... then pocket it.

This young man sat beside me and as powerful sessions were going on, he kept pressing his phone. I felt so pissed. How could you attend an event as this and not be present to listen? During a short break, we were asked to speak to people beside us. Thankfully, he turned to me and said, “Sir, I see you’re a married man, how do you cope with life and all the things you do?” I replied, “It’s simply the way I’ve structured my life. Tell me about yourself.” He said he’d just left school and is now working to put his life together. It was my opportunity to teach him. “Since I sat here, I’ve noticed you’ve been pressing your phone. Why aren’t paying attention to what the speakers are sharing?” “Sir, I’m trying to multitask.” “This isn’t multitasking. You’re wasting your presence here. Did you hear the last two speakers.” “No, Sir. I didn’t really get everything.” “Multitasking means that you can be doing different tasks concurrently and achieving results in each of the tasks, but for this one, you’re wasting space and presence. This place demands your eyes and ears. Can you raise one eye to see the ceiling and one to see the ground?” “No, Sir.” “This event demands your presence. See me. I’m not pressing my phones. I paid to be here. You paid to be here. Utilize it. Leave your phone. Be present. Learn. Our lives need conversations to move to the next level. That’s what we are here for. Using your phone can be to type something that hits you. That’s what I am doing now with my own phone. Nothing else.” He looked at me, thankful. ©Emeka

@OkowaNashon @Bossyator In a fair world , the hardware owner should arrested and charged for stealing then selling(profiteering from) another persons rebars. Orelse he returns them plus something small for inconveniences and damages

In my view, the contract completed when he made the payment - there was an offer, acceptance and a consideration (payment). The hardware owner cannot alter price of the bars now post contract. The only thing the hardware could charge is storage, which again is only applicable if there was indication of a charge for the same.

In January, there's a guy who purchased re-bars at a hardware in Kitengela, Kajiado. He paid in full amount (800k) but didn't collect the goods instead he asked the hardware owner to keep them for him but got a receipt. Ofcourse the prices of rebars have gone up since then. This morning he asked the hardware owner to prepare the rebars for him to collect. The hardware owner says, yes the rebars are available but the prices I got this stock for were higher so you have to top up 400k to make 1.2m. My friend is demanding his rebars, at the amount he purchased them in January. The hardware owner on the other hand says you either top up 400k or I refund your 800k. Who's right, who's wrong?. Discuss.

Today, Sunday, the skies themselves bore witness to the reckoning. Johanna Ngeno died in a plane crash yesterday, and when the wreckage fell, it spoke a language that no human can ignore. Look at his body the hands, frozen mid-plea, as if begging Malakul Maut, the Angel of Death, for forgiveness. Not from the people he terrorized, not from the laws he trampled, but from the very force that decides when life ends. I remember Chege on Parliament Road. I remember the slabs at City Mortuary. I remember the mothers and fathers shattered, graves yawning before their eyes, and the blood of youth spilled because some thought they were untouchable. God’s anger does not sleep. It does not negotiate. It does not forget. It found Ngeno mid-flight, and it is coming for every hand that struck against Gen Zs, every voice that cheered corruption, every soul that shielded brutality. It will find you in your cars, in your homes, in your offices. There is no hiding. Do I feel sorrow? No. I feel the fury of a nation that still mourns its children while the guilty smile in their mansions. At least Ngeno’s family will now contend with the blood money, the looted wealth, the legacy of violence he built to protect those who empowered him. But what of the innocent, the voiceless, the youth who will never see justice? Their cries pierce deeper than any chopper crash, their absence a permanent stain on this nation. This is the message: cruelty invites fire. Power misused invites ruin. And the heavens are watching, and the earth will remember. The nation will not forgive. The nation will not forget. The reckoning has begun.

This symbolism shows that law is not just a matter of text, but also a reflection of a social conscience. The breaking of the pen represents the judge's sorrow at the decision he has made, but also the inevitability of the law. This British legacy in Kenyan courts is a striking example of how justice is embodied through rituals.

Red Robe, Broken Pen: A Heavy Moment in Nyeri Court In a quiet Nyeri courtroom, Justice Kizito Magare did more than read a death sentence. Dressed in a red robe, worn in serious criminal cases, he delivered the judgment. Then, after signing the papers, he broke his pen. The red robe was not about style. In Kenya, a tradition borrowed from British courts, judges wear red during major criminal trials to show the seriousness of the case. It signals that the matter before the court involves life, freedom, and heavy consequences. Breaking the pen also had meaning. It is a long-standing legal symbol of finality. The pen that signed such a heavy decision will not be used again. It shows the weight of the moment and that the court has spoken. No drama. Just a silent message about the gravity of justice.

That hits harder than it seems at first glance. Small, everyday struggles like a locked phone are not trivial, they shape dignity, agency, and even behavior. If the phone is just for communication purposes, one can get a phone at just KES. 1,500. However, on the flip side, if you are using it for work or income generation, and you are not able to afford one, then that is an option. But it requires discipline, otherwise it trains a mindset of constraint and helplessness.

Yesterday, I asked our security guard to share with me the mobile phone number of his boss, the director of the security company he works for. The guard quickly ran to get his phone, After a minute, he came back looking desperate, "I can't share because my phone is off," he said. He assured me that when I return in the evening, he will have shared the number. Today morning, I asked him again, and he was bold enough to say it, "Boss, my phone is locked. I have not paid for it for 3 days now." I looked at his sullen face and the hopelessness in his eyes. I stopped probing. I just asked for his phone details, and I paid for him. These credit phones are chains that have colonized the mindset of our people. Release our people from this neo-colonial slavery!

On this Koko story, one lesser-known factor of carbon markets is how the financing side actually works. Most conversations discuss impact: cleaner air, cheaper fuel, reduced emissions. Here’s the financing part many people don’t realize. When a household switches cooking fuel, that behavior doesn’t just create a one-time benefit. It can generate new carbon credits every year. Each year is a new “vintage,” and each vintage can be sold to a different buyer, so airlines one year, manufacturers the next, tech companies next etc... So the value stream isn’t one-off. It’s recurring and long-term but the households creating that value usually receive: •a discount today •no share of future upside •no participation in pricing •no protection if the carbon market collapses The upside keeps compounding in external markets while the risk sits locally. And I think this is the real question African governments are now asking: Is cheaper fuel today a fair exchange for turning people’s daily lives into a multi-year financial instrument that’s sold offshore? This goes beyond any single company or project. It’s a meta question we should ask. How are carbon markets designed and who they’re designed to serve?

Dr. Belio Kipsang has been the PS of Education for over a decade. Working under great leaders like Dr. Fred Matiangi and Prof. George Magoha. I do not know why or how President William Ruto saw it fit to move him away to the ministry of Immigration? I mean it is clear that Amb. Julius Bitok is not well conversant with that role. Belio Kipsang should be brought back to Education docket and restore order. A man should only be superior by merit and inferior by demerit. Ruto's main problem has always been his appointments in cabinet. He appointed quacks in his first cabinet. The likes of Linturi and Aisha Jumwa. This is the same thing he is doing with Belio.

KNH is dying in broad daylight not from mismanagement, but from State House greed. This hospital collects KSh 50–70 million every single day, yet that money never touches patients. It is siphoned straight into Ruto’s eCitizen black hole, the same system where the Auditor-General says KSh 150 BILLION cannot be accounted for. That is not reform. That is looting . Today, Kenya’s largest referral hospital cannot give painkillers after surgery. Patients wake up in agony while their money sits somewhere in Treasury limbo, feeding cartels and funding political vanity. Labs can’t buy reagents. Wards can’t feed patients. Doctors are forced to improvise humiliation as healthcare. A hospital is supposed to heal the sick. But KNH itself is now the patient bled dry by a government that values control over human life. If a State can collect millions daily from a hospital and still leave patients screaming in pain, then this is no longer incompetence. It is cruelty by policy.

The Climax bus driver, now posing as some noble hero in interviews, claims he deliberately sacrificed Cyrus Jirongo’s life to “save” his 60 passengers. Pure nonsense. Who anointed him God to decide whose life is worth more? Since when do we weigh human lives like market produce - one lone driver versus a busload? That’s not bravery; that’s a chilling red flag from a man trying to justify reckless driving after the fact. We’ve all been on those roads. These same PSV drivers routinely hog lanes, block overtaking vehicles, speed like maniacs, ignore indicators, and treat traffic rules like optional suggestions. Yet suddenly we’re supposed to applaud this one because he spun a self-serving fairy tale? This wasn’t an impossible choice between doom and salvation. It was a preventable crash caused by the very arrogance we witness daily: refusal to let others pass, poor lane discipline, excessive speed. Stop romanticizing PSV drivers who gamble with lives and then demand medals when their gamble costs someone everything. The driver should face the full wrath of the law. No excuses, no hero narrative. Treat this as the homicide it is - because playing Russian roulette with a 60-seater on public roads is not “sacrifice.” It’s criminal negligence. Lock him up.

I hate America for alot of things,but I love them for a few things,like the 2nd ammendment. The constitutional right of citizens to own guns for self defense. If we had that in kenya or Tanzania,you would never see the police killing innocent people like that. Shooting in their homes and cars anyhowly,simply because they have guns. The Americans have something called the Castle doctrine. A law that states a mans home is his castle,and he has no duty to retreat from his house. If someone starts shooting at you in your house,police included,You are obliged to defend yourself. The african police misbehave because of the monopoly they have when it comes to owning guns

My brothers and sisters, I just spoke to the man believed to be Yuehua Bai Zhenya Junxi. I can now confirm, according to verified communication, that the government has leased land to his company for approximately 50 years. Total size of land: 18.7 acres We verified his identity independently, including through M-Pesa confirmation (evidence in image below). I’ll share the full conversation with you all in the next few hours. I do this for Kenya, not for politics, for truth and accountability. As I’ve always said, governments fear when citizens know the truth. Stand with me as we uncover what they hide. 🇰🇪 Long live Kenya.
