Only Believe. #Faith #Ukunda

Senate Committee led by Sen Kajwang left in shock after discovering that Governor Susan Kihika runs the County Government without a Chief of Finance, Audit Committee and a qualified head of Accounting Services. This is how the taxpayers money is managed in Nakuru County.

Fuel prices are up again. But the government says “the economy is stabilizing.” Stabilizing for who? For ordinary Kenyans, matatu fare, food prices and and electricity will go up. Lakini corruption? Corruption is very healthy. Thriving even. How many ways must Kenyans pay for greed they did not create? We must unite, organize, and demand better leadership. Kenya belongs to its people, not a few connected looters. Tuungane. Tujikomboe

Imagine what more these medics would do if our health care systems worked????

I may have overdone that “Ruto Must Go” in my household but I regret nothing! My child knows what’s right

I was forwarded this image on WhatsApp, and it’s been making rounds all week. This was June 1997. Moi was in power. Fuel prices and cost of living were high and our rights were under attack. 29 years later, different era, same struggle. Kenya is blessed with so much potential, we cannot remain trapped in an endless cycle of corruption, poor priorities and injustice. We must unite and put in place leadership that can truly break this endless cycle of unnecessary misfortune. #TuunganeTujikomboe

What a time to capture the Judiciary...

Kenyans might have just lost over KSh 300 MILLION through another classic “consultancy” scheme. Yesterday at the Tourism & Wildlife Committee, it was revealed that: KSh 800 million had been allocated to compensate victims of wildlife attacks. Sounds good, right? Now wait for it, 🚨 KSh 300 MILLION of that was allegedly allocated to CONSULTANCY. Consultancy for WHAT exactly? You mean to tell Kenyans: -Only KSh 500M goes to actual victims -But KSh 300M goes to “consultants”? People have lost loved ones, limbs, farms, and livelihoods to wildlife attacks, And someone thought consultancy deserves almost HALF the budget? Even worse, members of the department reportedly could not properly explain the expenditure. And this is where many Kenyans miss the bigger picture: “Consultancy” has quietly become one of the biggest looting avenues in Kenya. Because it’s vague. Easy to inflate. Easy to hide money in. Easy to pay connected people. I’ve seen this script before. Last year, when I exposed details around the NYOTA loan agreement with the World Bank, a huge chunk of the money was also going to consultancy-related costs. over 50%. At some point, Kenyans must ask: Are we funding projects, or funding middlemen? Because this country is becoming a consultancy republic.

Remembering our past is important. My mother has childhood memories of having to flee into the bush with her mother to avoid being sent to these camps.

Macron, cut the crap!!! Africa attracted 97 billion dollars in foreign direct investment last year alone according to UNCTAD, without a summit and without you. Your “23 billion euros”, spread over an unspecified number of years, are mostly private sector pledges the French state will take diplomatic credit for without financing. And of those 23 billion, 10.5 billion are from African businesses themselves. Since you want to talk about investment, here is the context you deliberately omitted. Your French companies have been extracting wealth on this continent for decades and make annual returns that dwarf these your 27 billion euros. TotalEnergies alone produces 28% of its global output from Africa. Orange operates across 18 African countries with over 120 million customers. Bolloré at its peak controlled 18 of West Africa's 22 major ports, with 80% of its profits derived from Africa. Orano has been mining uranium in Niger for decades at prices below OECD market rates, leaving behind 20 million tonnes of radioactive waste and uranium concentrations in local drinking water 500 times above safe thresholds. France's development loans from the Agence Française de Développement came with contractual conditions requiring freight to use Bolloré railways, insurance through AXA, and consulting through French firms. The money went from France to Africa and immediately circled back as corporate profit. Let's have a clear look at Africa's market size and economy. Telecommunications generates 180 billion dollars annually, mining oil and gas generations over 900 billion annually. Financial services, construction, manufacturing, tourism, retail and energy collectively add hundreds of billions more, bringing Africa's total nominal GDP to approximately 2.83 trillion dollars. And then there is the creative industry. Africa's creative economy generates between 6 and 10 billion dollars in directly measurable annual revenue today. This industry was built without a single French summit, without a single French pledge, and without your presence in Nairobi. The idea that 27 billion dollars over an unspecified period, of which 10.5 billion are Africa companies’ money you are announcing as an achievement, constitutes something worth celebrating tells us everything about how you see this continent. You genuinely believe we will applaud you for this. You really summoned 30 heads of states over some so called 27 billion euros “investment pledge” over multiple years. You see, that is the particular variety of condescension that caused your military to be expelled from Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso. And since we are being factual: the CFA franc, created on December 25, 1945, has required fourteen of our nations to deposit a portion of their foreign exchange reserves in the French Treasury for eighty years. Kindly return our reserves if you so care about our economic growth. Return the gold. Return the uranium profits extracted from Niger at below-market rates while leaving radioactive contamination in the water. Return the port revenues confiscated by Bollore. Return the decades of oil profits extracted by Total through preferential agreements with the corrupt leaders your government installed and continue to protect. When you have returned all of that, then come back with your 23 billion euros and we will discuss whether it qualifies as a contribution. Until then, please shut up !

Pole sana, Senator Onyonka. Losing a mother, at any age, is a loss that cuts deep. There are no words that fully meet that grief. This afternoon we gathered at Don Bosco Catholic Church to honour the life of Mama Teresa Nyaboke Omoke. We mourn with you and we hold you and your family in prayer during this season. May God grant you comfort, peace, and the strength that only He can give. And may Mama Teresa rest in eternal peace.

This entire podcast episode should be watched repeatedly.

President William Ruto reportedly held talks with IMF boss Kristalina Georgieva to unlock MORE loans for Kenya. (~NTV News) The same IMF had reportedly halted previous funding after the Ruto govt failed to meet corruption conditions. Meaning even lenders themselves were worried about corruption and looting. But now watch what will happen. Despite everything, Despite scandals. Despite missing billions. Despite overtaxed Kenyans crying under pressure. The IMF will most likely still hand over more loans to the same govt they know has a corruption problem. And who will repay that money? Not politicians. Not the looters. It will be ordinary Kenyans through taxes, expensive fuel, high electricity bills, and a collapsing cost of living.

The unemployment rate in Kenya, according to the Federation of Kenya Employers is at 67% for those aged 15–34. If we are expanding our manufacturing industry, has it created jobs for our youth? If yes, why are our youth being shipped to foreign lands to suffer?

Abdullahi Alas~ You cannot point fingers at Gachagua for tribalism while employing your relatives in the counties in the name of Somalis. The hypocrisy of my kinsmen in Northern Kenya is nauseating. #ThePeoplesBreakfast #HomeOfHardTruths @BashowAlas @mungalambuvi @ctmuga

I once worked for an American company whose annual revenue was nearly 50% of Kenya’s entire GDP. The company wanted to set up a manufacturing plant in Kenya and even sent its Vice President to explore the opportunity. Do you know the VP couldn’t even secure a meeting with the Health CS? Gatekeepers blocked discussions before they could even begin. Everyone wanted their share first. The VP flew to Ethiopia instead. He was welcomed like a head of state. Imagine the jobs, technology transfer, exports, taxes, supplier networks, and investor confidence Kenya lost because of a few selfish individuals protecting personal interests. Dangote has been here before. He ended up setting a massive cement manufacturing plant in Ethiopia. Those government officials don’t care as long as they can’t see their share.

This guy has been through a lot.

It was said. It was written. It is happening right before our eyes.

Milimani Road suddenly has lane marking and the street lights suddenly all work. And that notorious pothole just past Sagret suddenly got attention and was tarmacked. Half-assed, but tarmacked nonetheless. Why can’t guys do their work for the benefit of fellow citizens? Why does it take visiting dignitaries to remember your work? Bure kabisa 🚮🚮🚮

Tharaka Nithi, thank you for receiving the Purple Train. 💜🚆Your voices, your hope, and your resolve continue to inspire this movement for a better Kenya. Unite • Liberate #TuunganeTujikomboe #PurpleTrain #MarthaKarua2027

Reading this halfwit’s post can make you think that Obama, Pope, Macron, Xi Jinping, Ban Ki Moon, Prince William, Shinzo Abe, Prince Harry, Narendra Modi, Park Gyeun-hye, Theresa May, Netanyahu, Angela Merkel, et al; were hosted at Sabina Joy by Uhuru.
