@LewisHamilton proving that he is still hungry for this thing through this Sprint Qualifying is nothing short of impressive. #CanadianGP

The race of who is the most useless Minister ever in the independent Kenya is so hotly contested😂😂😂 Today Morning, Mbadi opened a lead only for Murkomen to leapfrog him this evening. Opiyo Wandayi has gathered some last minute energy and they are neck to neck with Duale.

DECISIONS amongst them to 'gift' sh12/litre to PRIVATE companies causing the PUNITIVE fuel costs while cartels rake SUPER profits must be reversed ASAP and all CORRUPT public officials involved/benefiting PROSECUTED.Price controls must be REMOVED for COMPETITION to lower prices.

For a few minutes each year, sunlight makes this Yosemite waterfall look like a river of fire.😍

We must bring to a stop an administration that is burdening wananchi with the high cost of living. Voting for Kenya Kwanza on August 9 means voting for affordable prices of fuel, food, among other basic commodities.

They have only built 5500 units. Which means (at 170B collections) each house is over 30m. Total Waste of money as was predicted. Subsidize the cost of cement and steel and people will build their own houses at far cheaper rates. That's the true path to sustainable housing.

6th May, 2026 Africa Uncensored and Lighthouse Reports appreciate that the Social Health Authority’s management took the time to respond to our publication. We also welcome rigorous public discourse and exchange, which is why we submitted a detailed series of questions to SHA before publishing on Monday 4th May, 2026, which did not receive a response until now. We believe that nothing in this response substantively addresses those questions, nor does it refute our findings. We encourage SHA to respond to the submitted questions in detail, which, among other things, ask for key details around the equitability of the model — including for low-income households — and key design decisions that influenced outcomes therein. The public has the right to understand how unsupervised algorithms make decisions about them. We would direct you again to our reporting, findings, methodology, and our initial right of reply here: bit.ly/HidingBehindAI.

REJECTING THE MISLEADING SHA “EQUITY” NARRATIVE As was expected SHA have responded to the #ErrorbyDesign feature by @AfUncensored . Here is my take The statement issued by the @_shakenya (SHA) on means testing is selective, misleading, and divorced from the broader fiscal reality facing Kenyans. 1. The “Punishing the Poor” Narrative is Incomplete and Politically Convenient SHA argues that NHIF was regressive because lower-income earners paid a higher percentage of income. This argument is mathematically correct— but policy-wise dishonest. It isolates NHIF contributions from the total tax burden, which is where the real inequity lies. Let me use the line SHA like using to hood wink Kenyans to advance their false narrative: A Kenyan earning KES 1,000,000/month already contributes approximately: * KES 350,000 in PAYE (35%) * Additional indirect taxes (VAT, excise, fuel levies, etc.) Suppose we even add the 1700 they paid to NHIF. Their tax contribution is KES 351,700 + all other taxes. This goes to government before he touches it. The question SHA refuses to answer: Why is health financing being used to “equalize” inequality created by the broader tax system? That is not the role of social health insurance. 2. Social Health Insurance is NOT a Redistributive Tax Tool The core principle of social health insurance globally is: * Risk pooling * Government subsidization of the poor NOT: * Punitive redistribution within contributors * Nor experimental “Robin Hood economics” targeting the formal sector By enforcing a flat 2.75% on income, SHA: * Converts insurance into a quasi-tax * Ignores already disproportionate taxation of formal earners * Overburdens the compliant 17% of Kenyans in formal employment In the Kenya Kwanza era there is even more lost tax 1.5% for a house the 1 Million fellow for a house he will never get. 3. The Real Crisis: SHA Has Increased Financial Risk, Not Reduced It While SHA claims “equity,” the lived reality in the health sector is: * Increased out-of-pocket payments * Widespread claim rejections * Delayed or non-payment to providers * Closure or near-collapse of health facilities This is not theoretical. it is systemic failure. A system that: * Cannot pay providers * Rejects valid claims * Forces patients to pay cash Is not social protection. It is financial exposure. 4. The Means Testing Instrument (MTI) is Technocratic Overreach SHA defends Proxy Means Testing (PMT) as “global best practice.” But in Kenya: * The informal economy is fluid, undocumented, and unpredictable * Household data is incomplete and unreliable * AI/DHA-driven assessments are producing real-world harm The result of this as demonstrated in #ErrorByDesign * Misclassification of households * Wrong premium assignments * Delayed care and denial of services This is not precision targeting. it is algorithmic guesswork applied to human survival. 5. The Fundamental Policy Error: Overestimating Informal Sector Compliance Let us be honest as a country: 83% of Kenyans are in the informal sector. These incomes are: * Irregular * Seasonal * Largely untraceable It is unrealistic to assume that this segment will: * Consistently declare income * Pay 2.75% * Sustain a national insurance pool 6. The Burden Has Shifted — Not Solved SHA claims NHIF relied on 20% formal sector. But the reality today: The same formal sector is still financing the system now at: * Higher rates * Higher uncertainty * Lower benefit predictability This is not reform. This is repackaged dependency on the same shrinking base (now ~17%). Moreover health providers are the underwriters of SHA with unpaid legacy NHIF debts, mounting SHA debts and exclusion from SHA services despite financing SHA. 7. Health Financing Cannot Be Built on Policy Experimentation Healthcare is not a space for: * Ideological experiments * Political narratives (“Hustler economics”) * Unvalidated digital systems It requires: * Predictability * Trust * Scientific and actuarial grounding 8. The Way Forward: Evidence, Not Narratives We agree that discussion is necessary. But we must ask: Is Government listening? Evidence such as the #ErrorByDesign analysis has already demonstrated: * Structural weaknesses in SHA design * Systemic rejection patterns * Financial unsustainability Yet policy continues unchanged. My POSITION as Dr Simon Kigondu an overtaxed health policy commentator, is CLEAR AND UNEQUIVOCAL: 1. The informal sector (83%) cannot sustainably finance SHA 2. The formal sector (17%) is being overburdened 3. AI-driven DHA systems are causing harm 4. Out-of-pocket expenditure has increased 5. Provider non-payment is collapsing healthcare delivery CONCLUSION: TIME TO CALL IT WHAT IT IS The SHA model, as currently implemented, is: * Economically flawed * Operationally unstable * Clinically dangerous It is time to: - Acknowledge the failed experiment - Return to evidence-based health financing - Engage stakeholders meaningfully You cannot fix inequality in taxation by breaking healthcare. What SHA has done is not protect the poor — it has weakened the entire system. Dr Simon Kigondu is a gynaecologist & commentator on health policy.

I think you should remember that there are people in awe of what you do.

@DJKrowbar @davidmuriithi No lie! 😂

I am 41yrs old... 40s are crazy. Some people have 3yr olds, others have teens, others are grandparents. Some are dating 26yr olds others look like they are 60yrs. It looks like a confused group project.

WHAT ICU NURSES KNOW ABOUT THE LAST HOURS OF LIFE THAT FAMILIES ARE NEVER PREPARED FOR: 1. Hearing is the last sense to go. Many patients can hear everything being said in the room long after they appear unconscious. Nurses know this. Most families do not act like it. 2. The body does not shut down all at once. It withdraws blood and oxygen from the extremities first, working inward toward the heart. The cold hands and feet you notice are the body making a final decision about what to protect. 3. A sudden, unexpected improvement in energy and alertness hours before death is not a good sign. Nurses recognize it immediately. Families almost always mistake it for recovery. 4. The sound called the death rattle is not pain. It is simply the throat relaxing and losing muscle control. But no amount of medical explanation prepares a family for hearing it for the first time. 5. Most people do not die during the night. The body has a biological rhythm and many deaths occur in the early hours of morning, between 3am and 5am, when the nervous system is at its lowest. 6. Patients often wait. Nurses have watched people hold on for days until a specific person arrives, or a specific word is spoken, or permission is quietly given to let go. It happens too consistently to be coincidence. 7. The words "we did everything we could" are sometimes true and sometimes the most painful half-truth a family will ever receive without knowing it. 8. Families who are not present at the moment of death carry guilt that no counselor fully resolves. Nurses see this guilt begin forming in real time and cannot always stop it. 9. The face relaxes completely at the moment of death in a way that is impossible to describe until you have seen it. Nurses say it looks like the person finally put something down they had been carrying for a very long time. 10. Many ICU nurses privately believe that the most painful deaths are not the ones with the most physical suffering. They are the ones where the patient dies surrounded by family members who are fighting with each other. 11. The thing families almost never say, but almost always should, is simply this: it is okay to go. Those four words, spoken out loud, do something that medicine cannot explain and nurses have witnessed more times than they can count. 12. Nurses grieve too. They learn the names, the histories, the family dynamics, and the small personal details of every patient. They cry in break rooms, in parking lots, and on drives home. Then they walk back in the next morning and do it all over again, because someone has to, and they chose to be that person.

Hino ilikuwa imelemewa na mlima until that young boy showed up and without any glitches ensured the truck ascended the hill safely.

I sat in the committee room yesterday reading emails between ORYX ENERGY LTD and the Ministry of Energy officials, including the Cabinet Secretary, and I was shocked to discover that they were all in agreement to import fuel at USD 253.94 per MT—while the same government they serve imports fuel at USD 84.00 per MT. If OMCs are not taking advantage in cohorts with ministry officials, who is fooling whom? This is an artificial get‑rich‑quick scam orchestrated by a fuel cabal! We are not stupid—only for the deal to be cancelled at the last minute when a shipment of substandard fuel imported by ONE PETROLEUM LIMITED arrived and was offloaded, costing Kenyans the equivalent of USD 198,855 per MT—still USD 114 more per MT than the government’s own G‑to‑G rate.

Just to let you know that you can get a donkey in Ngong for 18,000, or a small one in Trans-Nzoia for 10,000...ungoje tu kamee. 😂

And now, the fuel shortage ends... #DeliveringThePlan #EPRA
