Dear @KeNHAKenya the vestigial curves of the the defunct Westlands Roundabout are a cause of unnecessary traffic congestion. Please, remove them and straighten the Highway.

Thika road does not need an expressway. Kenha needs to improve the Pangani interchange maybe by adding a viaduct as its the section that creates traffic.
Also it doesnt make sense having 10 lanes culminating to a single carriageway in Thika interchange.
Am also worried that the expressway might eat into the three/four lanes currently in place. Anyway, why do we need an expressway in Witeithie?

@jimNjue_ @KenyaPower_Care Kenya power is treating us like its a favour to access their services. Last year they deactivated my token meter and didnt bother to reactivate with numerous follow ups. I cant wait for power freedom....

Embu @KenyaPower_Care has the worst customer service in Kenya. These two women will tell you ‘there’s no network’ and continue with mushene mkiwa mmeketi hapo tu. Or systems ziko down, for a whole day. Then they stay there applying lipstick. Especially the fat one. It’s infuriating.
@KenyaPower_Care

Jim Njue@jimNjue_
@KenyaPower_Care Embu Branch you need to fire those two women at your Front desks. It takes a whole day for a simple service in KPLC Embu.

What I like about devolution is that with time there will be a huge difference between serious counties and jokers

Kenya’s Economy Is in ICU — Here’s Why
⭕️ The govt collected only Sh1.81T by Nov 2025 — just 41% of the full-year target of Sh4.43T, showing deep revenue underperformance.
⭕️ Borrowing has already hit Sh623B accounting for 34% of all money the govt has received, meaning Kenya is running on debt rather than real income.
⭕️ Tax revenue is badly lagging, with only 35% of the annual target collected, while non-tax revenue is also falling behind.
⭕️ Public debt payments have swallowed Sh865T in just 5 months — already 45% of the full-year debt servicing target.
⭕️ This means almost half of every shilling Kenya plans to collect this year is going to creditors, not to development, jobs, or services.
⭕️ Total public debt obligations for the year stand at Sh1.91T, even before any new Sh1T borrowing is added.
⭕️ If the govt goes ahead to borrow another Sh1T and sell national assets like Safaricom or KPC shares at a loss, due debt payments could balloon to about Sh2.5T by June 2026.
⭕️ That would mean more money is going to debt than to running the entire country, a classic sign of fiscal distress
⭕️ Kenya is now financing spending by selling assets and piling up loans, not by growing its economy — a dangerous path toward a debt trap

Kitui coal has a gross calorific values typically ranging from a 21,016 kJ/kg to 27,090 kJ/kg (6,474 cal/g), which is lower than international high-quality coal, but high enough for power generation.
Unfortunately ash content is high, generally ranging between 25% and 50%.

@MativoMJohn Absolutely. Coal in kitui has quality issues though..ashy

@koske_felix The problem is we the people dont trust the political class. There is lack of transparency and rushed projects/ programs which erodes public trust.
English

"And just as we demand responsibility in our homes, we must demand the same, at an even higher standard, from those entrusted with leadership in our public life.
I reiterate that 2026 and the years beyond will usher in a period of accountability. Leadership will be judged not by promises made, but by performance delivered; not by the exuberance of youth or the longevity of service, but by results and a proven track record.
Those entrusted with the privilege of leadership will be held to account for the service they render and the outcomes they deliver to the people; not for excuses crafted to mask a poverty of ideas or lack of ambition. The measure of leadership is impact, and that standard will apply to all.

@edwinsifuna Your comments are well aligned. My question is where has Gulf Energy participated in upstream projects other than the white products import and the expensive IPP with Kenya Power.

Parliament has invited your views on the Turkana Oil FDP that we are considering currently. You should pay attention because this is Ruto’s biggest scandal yet.
1. The ownership of the Company that is to produce the oil (Gulf Energy, Formerly Tullow) changed names and hands multiple times in a matter of weeks. Days even. Your lawyer will tell you thats symptomatic of attempts to mask real ownership. It is telling that the current FDP was approved by government days after the last ownership changes.
2. The Original production contract has been varied a million times. Most notably on 25th November 2025 just days after the last ownership changes, to raise the maximum recoverable cost for petroleum production from the initial 55% to 85%. Kenyans will never see any real benefit from that oil.
3. On the same day Clause 27(2)(b) was amended to expand the definition of capital
expenditure to include expenditure on labour, fuel, repairs, maintenance,
hauling, mobilisation and supplies and materials relating to production,
development, exploration and appraisal and decommissioning costs. We may basically never see a coin from our oil.
4. Crucially, we in the Senate passed the Local Content bill which requires the oil company to utilize locally available resources including labour and supplies. They have cleverly made the current agreement with Gulf exempt from such legislation.
We don’t have leaders. We have dealers in government who don’t care about anything other than themselves.

Installation of Solar has dropped to 5.98 Kshs/kWh. Pairing solar with batteries to keep the electricity flowing 24/7 is now an economic reality. At around just 9.88 Kshs/kWh all in, dispatchable solar is already competitive

@Briankariu This is true, the peoples needs should be addressed not the political class.

The referendum I support is one that:
1. Reduces counties to 13
2. Places term limits on all elected and appointed offices
3. Places restrictions on borrowing to max 20% of buget
4. Removes either parliament or senate
We cant have a referendum to stock personal egos

@kinuthiakm @KenyaPower_Care @EPRA_KE @Cofek_Kenya Kenya power should unblock the prepaid meters ASAP. We are buying tokens, why are we denied power. We are in darkness.
English

@kinuthiakm @KenyaPower_Care Kenya power are blocking prepaid meters and claiming its linked to a landlord postpaid meter. Mine too 14252816922 has been blocked. Why subject us to darkness and we are paying. Your call centre agent is saying its law, which law? You are treating us as second class customers.
