@MsJohzie_ Ni hapo kwa kusalimiana sister sindio?

Hii inaweza niteka I’m afraid 😂😂

@MeranSaysHi @Mukiteee @MuitaNyagu30408 The fact that we securitized part of the levy is a big one, removal or cross subsidy(petrol|diesel),then there’s the landing cost which has no proper breakdown & that to me looks fishy. Someone is definitely making a killing on that front,a dwindling stabilization fund as well.

I have a suspicion. G2G assures as of fuel availability but comes at a steep price juu ni ya deni. Odds are, fuel shortages will start turning up in the region save for UG who also have such an arrangement (ET wako hapo tayari) or there is a lag and their hikes will be the same. The difference is they do not have crazy taxes so it will still not be as steep.

KNBS is changing its name to Kenya Statistics Authority (KSA) as per the Statistics Bill 2026. Here are the highlights: 1. Name change to Kenya Statistics Authority. 2. Collection of Biometric Data. 3. Establish County Statistics Office. 4. Establish National Statistics Fund. 5. Establish National Statistical System. 6. How to petition census results. In brief, here's what we think about each one of these. First, government bodies like KRA are moving away from calling themselves an "Authority" in favour of "Service." KNBS, calling itself an authority, may reflect a change of culture that tilts towards regulation and enforcement. This is likely to cause issues for an organization that is public-facing and often requires the goodwill of the people to collect credible statistics. Second, KSA will start collecting and processing biometric data such as fingerprints, iris patterns, facial images, or other identifiers during census and surveys. These data will go through the usual processes of anonymization and privacy protections. However, even with good intentions, we believe Kenyans have become quite paranoid given government overreach in recent years, and biometric data collection may be a cause for concern, if not now, later. We've seen this with the negative reception of the health data deal between Kenya and the USA, Huduma numbers, and other such initiatives. With the KNBS becoming an authority, this may not look good even for PR purposes. The establishment of the County Statistical Office is long overdue, and we believe county data has always been scarce and fragmented. KSA solves this by introducing a County Statistical Office in each of the 47 counties. This means, at least, we get the county statistical abstracts for all the counties annually, and on time. Like the County Statistical Office, the National Statistical System is long overdue and coordinates data collection and processing across government ministries, county statistical offices, parliament, judiciary, and state departments. This means KSA will oversee how these entities produce, manage, and disseminate official data, which generally improves the quality of data that reaches the public. Currently, we have ministries and SDs that disseminate data as an afterthought, and as you'd expect, such data is usually of a very low quality. If the new bill passes, we will also see a more formalized approach to petitioning census results. This comes after KNBS was ordered by the courts to do a fresh census for Mandera, Garissa, and Wajir. However, if you are going to petition the census, you'll need to establish clearly the grounds of the petition, including whether its because of errors in methodology, systematic exclusion, or undercount, manipulation or falsification of data, procedural irregularities, and failure to adhere to statistical standards. After establishing the grounds of the petition, you'll be required to provide verifiable evidence, identify the geographical area you believe is affected, and highlight the type of correction you want. A panel will be formed to verify, and if indeed errors exist, further guidance will be offered. Finally, KSA seeks to establish the National Statistics Fund. This is interesting, considering how costly collecting and managing data can be. For example, after the United States stopped USAID funding, the DHS lost most of its revenue, effectively dismantling KDHS and other surveys relevant to Kenya. If this fund were to mitigate such issues, then it makes sense. Overall, the name change sounds like a bad idea; the collection of biometric data is risky if not properly handled, and the establishment of county statistical offices, the national statistical system, and the statistical fund makes sense. @KNBStats

@Mukiteee @MuitaNyagu30408 According to you what even is the reason for the hike? Ju we're the only ones in the region with such an astronomical jump.

@MeranSaysHi @MuitaNyagu30408 x.com/i/status/20569… The 30+ subsidy si sustainable at all na sidhani they have considered that but if the price sticks ama moves up again we are looking at serious problems (naona fuel companies wameshaanza kusema walipwe arrears kwanza)

The matatu strike has been called off but at what cost? Fuel prices haven't reduced and it is commuters who have to bear the brunt. They made a deal smiling from ear to ear knowing they will pass on the buck to us. And the way folks had already assigned them revolutionary status.

@Mukiteee @MuitaNyagu30408 Temporary stop gap measure no? Pia hao hawana the foresight to see that it's not sustainable?

@MeranSaysHi @MuitaNyagu30408 Ilikuwa done on the premise of the govt finding the 35-46bob/litre subsidy that they are asking for.

"Arsenal have broken their 22 year drought. Makes me think of what we'd do if we got back together. Say hi to your little sister for me." Send to many.

Wacha nikaambie my Arsenal boyfriends since I came into their lives their team has broken their premier league drought.

KANU seems to have a stronger record when it comes to industrial action as compared to KADU and KPU. Perhaps our presenters will shed light on why the party that supported the Mombasa dock workers strike would later crush unions and infiltrate COTU. qwanibok.hustlesasa.shop/products/69ecc…

100 year Reich but for KANU

Maybe they think of Wanugu and friends every time they come to Rongai.

I also want to know what the Police have against Rongai because their use of ammunition in that town every time there is unrest, is always disproportionately high and frankly unjustifiable.

@Adrian_Surname Maybe that's what they're doing with all the shooting.

@MeranSaysHi Gotta nuke it and start afresh

Very curious kuona the records za ammunition they use in Rongai coz isn't this just wastage? Unaweza dhani ni warzone. Side note: This place looks like crap.

@ChizzyInsene @MainNeli_ Ni kwetu pia.

@MeranSaysHi @MainNeli_ Wachana na kwetu bois

@tiny_charoh Sometimes kutroll back is the answer😂😂

Ama maybe mimi ndio niko chronically online 😂

But millennials pia we are easily rage baited 😂 for people who have surfed the internet when trolling was at its peak I thought it would be easier for us to identify trolls/rage farming types of engagement

One day someone will write the history of Kenya and say, here lie the ruins of a nation destroyed by greed.

I can't post on my other account so this will do for now. Mretweet my next tweet tafadhali.
