@citizentvkenya #JKLive Cry our beloved goonish country Kenya, ask Karakacha of MOA what justification was there for electric buses in Nairobi to increase fares whereas the electric bus sector should have come to salvage the situation for passengers?

@citizentvkenya @KoinangeJeff #JKLIVE I'm proud of the Jerichonians duo Patrice and Muluka and let me remind them that Jericho still remains united irrespective of our native tribes. Our tribe is Sheng I don't know how they perfected their English, lakini tuko kadi Jeri!

Several months back, Museveni’s brutal son posted that, "......Besigye will only leave prison in two ways. Either in his coffin after we hang him or shoot him or on his knees apologising to Mzee [Museveni]." Yesterday, Dr. Besigye and his colleague Hajj Obeid Lutale's fourth bail application was denied! Cry beloved country. The judiciary, like all other institutions, has been completely emasculated. We have an opportunity to press the RESET BUTTON on our country in 16 days and put an end to this suffering. #FreeKizzaBesigye #FreeUgandaNow

1. The bus isn't stuck in traffic. 2. There isn't room for bike Lanes, but bikes are welcome. Win win.

An employer has been ordered to pay Kshs. 169,953.95 for years of underpaying her house help.The employer paid her an average monthly salary of Kshs. 6,000 instead of the minimum wage of 10,954.70. Minimum wage is NOT a suggestion. Domestic workers deserve dignity and the court just reminded employers.

@kahia_wa @KURAroads @InteriorKE @MOH_Kenya @TransportKE @WilliamsRuto @kipmurkomen @ITDPAfrica @EUinKenya @ITFglobalunion @UNEP @COTU_K @SakajaJohnson @ITDP_HQ @ITFAfrica @FederationofPT The Nairobi County and National Governments needs to get into a dialogue with the city residents to restore #OurPublicTransport. Residents who suffer in silence should be well represented in the negotiations for us to have a safe intergrated road transport, pedestrians included.

In 54 seconds as seen in the video clip, matatus that move masses hardly moved a distance of 20 meters. Who collects data from matatu terminus to check on the number of passengers who board matatus during peak hours?

One hot afternoon in June 1993, the then Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) chairman Richard Leakey went to President Moi with a copy of a title deed signed by the Head of State for KWS land which had been hived and grabbed by developers. Leakey threatened to resign his position if the illegal allocation wasn’t revoked. Moi gave the famous green signature one look and shouted: 'This is perfect forgery. It can’t be my signature!' Banging the table in pretended fury, the President ordered on the intercom: 'Tell Philip Mbithi and the CID (Criminal Investigations Department) head to be here right away!' Within minutes, the civil service boss and the CID head, Noah arap Too, were in the President’s office. 'I can’t allow this to happen!' Moi shouted at the two as he banged the table even harder. 'I am giving you two up to six in the evening to arrest the crooks involved. Failure to do that, you’re jobless!' Hours later, Mbithi telephoned the CID head to find out how far he was gone with the investigations. 'What investigations? That’s the President’s signature and he knows it!' replied the CID head. 'So what do we tell him when he asks?' Mbithi wanted to know. 'I can assure you he won’t ask', replied the CID head. 'That matter went out of his mind immediately we left his door. It was all a show to make Leakey not quit his job. Credit to : Presidential Archives.

@SokoAnalyst But Leaky was to later become a beneficiary of that land at the national park.

#FixingTheNationNTV The road transport sector is growing faster than the regulations in place. We need a large spectrum approach to regulate road transport addressing labour issues, safety of pax, the business model and reclaim public transport back to public hands.

I slammed the car door on my thumb and it hurt so much I sat on the sidewalk and cried. I have no shred of dignity left 😂
