@Alfayaz11 @GibNabson A major problem is Kenyans don't understand exactly how much money 1 billion is. If artists created sculptures of billions lost in each scandal, we'd be stunned! We can demand daily publishing of expenditure online - where exactly are our taxes going?

@jkobuthi @AdhiamboKE - publishing platform already exists:Ecitizen. Plus Nairobi is teeming with skilled techies @chao_mbogho - we can borrow dailytreasurystatement.com leaf & make it ours any way that suits: 1. raw daily uploads for trust 2. CPAs accrual needs 3. Class action lawsuit compelling GoK

@jkobuthi @AdhiamboKE E.g by compelling each GoK department to publish DAILY accounts online: - money IN - money OUT, as per relevant Q1-Q4 budget lines in the budget cycle Potential outcomes: - taxes directly linked to quality services - wider oversight - earning public trust

Our financial architecture (Treasury, CBK, and KRA) and other attendant financial institutions, needs to be democratised. They are stuck in the colonial era.

@TonyphilipW @mgmainam @sholard_mancity Well well... Not so naive it seems. - a platform already exists (Ecitizen). Plus Nairobi is teeming with skilled techies @chao_mbogho - we can borrow the leaf & make it ours any way that suits: (1) raw daily uploads for trust. (2) CPAs accrual as is dailytreasurystatement.com

@TonyphilipW @mgmainam @sholard_mancity - daily records exist & purpose of publication would specifically be earning our trust - Ecitizen platform exists: no need for another, or additional costs - we have the right to taxes being used for quality services - Transparency is whatever we demand it is, to curb corruption

Diana Gichengo on KTN says Kenya is now losing Sh3 BILLION every single day to corruption and wastage. Under Uhuru, the figure was estimated at Sh2 billion a day. Do the math. Sh3 billion × 365 days = Sh1.095 TRILLION a year. Now look at Kenya’s budget deficit, its approximately about that number. That’s the same money government goes out to borrow. Meaning? Kenyans are being taxed, squeezed and buried in debt, so a few people can loot comfortably. We really jumped from the frying pan in the 2022 elections.

@miss_mumbzk @AdhiamboKE @ukhozi_254 @NyakundiReport @ArtcaffeKenya @javahouseafrica The missing cup holders is increasingly an issue almost everywhere. It pisses me off because they wouldn't dare in e.g EU, but are happy to burn Africans Shout out to spots that uphold safety with cupholders e.g @springvalleycfe One doesn't always have one's own mug handy.

@cardio_walk @AdhiamboKE @ukhozi_254 @NyakundiReport @ArtcaffeKenya @javahouseafrica Yes that’s exactly what happened. Private equity came in and is of course interested in maximising returns by cutting every little cost

Hello Nyakundi, Please hide my identity. I am a staff member at Artcaffé, and we are really suffering under the current management conditions at the branch. First, last week our PHs, off days, and leave days were deducted simply because of the matatu strike, something that was completely beyond our control as employees. It is unfair for management to punish staff for a nationwide transport crisis that affected everyone. Secondly, the transport situation for staff working late shifts is becoming dangerous. Imagine the staff van arriving at the branch around 1:40 AM, then dropping employees along the highway at around 2 AM and leaving everyone to figure out how to get home safely on their own. This is not secure at all, especially for staff members going home at such hours. The worst issue is the “FUNGA FUNGUA” shifts. Right now it is around 3 AM and I have just come from the PM shift, yet I am expected to wake up again at 4 AM to prepare and report back to work. We barely get any sleep. You enter the next shift already exhausted and sleepy, which is extremely risky especially in a busy restaurant environment where mistakes and accidents can easily happen because of fatigue. We are mentally and physically drained. Some of us cannot even sleep properly because by the time you reach home, it is already time to prepare for the next shift again. This is not healthy and it is affecting staff wellbeing badly. Another major issue is staff meals. There is no proper breakfast and sometimes no lunch at all, yet employees are expected to work long exhausting hours. Nobody seems concerned about staff welfare anymore. Please let this reach HR because workers are really suffering. We are asking management to listen to staff concerns and improve these working conditions before things get worse.

@AdhiamboKE @ukhozi_254 @NyakundiReport @ArtcaffeKenya @javahouseafrica Stopped going. Wasted a year giving feedback that it seems some McKinsey types cut costs to a shameless level: - no cup holders for hot takeaway coffee!! - cutlery set on a flimsy serviette , which is the only serviette, so you have to ask for more for dabbing - dead eyed staff

@ukhozi_254 @NyakundiReport @ArtcaffeKenya @javahouseafrica Ah! Suspected some nasty, money-grubbing regime had taken over when the previous joy--a key selling point, and work delight of the staff declined. Poor things. Imagine a company spoiling its bright brand due to greed, robbing the lives of their people. @ArtcaffeKenya avoid evil.

@TonyphilipW @mgmainam @sholard_mancity Impartial focus 🎯 We can find out by citizens filing a class action lawsuit compelling each GoK department to publish DAILY accounts online - money IN - money OUT, as per relevant Q1-Q4 budget lines in the budget cycle It's our money; we demand transparent access to accounts

@mgmainam @sholard_mancity Corruption isn’t a thermometer you shake down every election, it’s a cancer every regime inherits. The difference? This administration is cutting into the tumour while the last one perfumed it. You call it pointing out, I call it selective amnesia dressed as neutrality.

@martinwaithaka8 @sholard_mancity We can find out by citizens filing a class action lawsuit compelling each GoK department to publish DAILY accounts online - money IN - money OUT, as per relevant Q1-Q4 budget lines in the budget cycle It's our money; we demand transparent access to accounts.

@sholard_mancity So how do we know that it's a fact we lose 1b, or 2b, or 5b maybe per day to corruption? And who benefits from corruption? In my village, people adore those who pay /corrupt for their children to be military, police, kra or any GOK/ COUNTY job. In street speak they are smart, no?

@_Real456s @SpiceFMKE @nduokoh @dennisaseto @EverlyneMungai What matters more is that the class action lawsuit is on the record. And that it gains public support because: - everyone is affected by corruption - the constitution enshrines transparency When dealing with bullies, standing up matters & legal recourse sets a precedent.

@cardio_walk @SpiceFMKE @nduokoh @dennisaseto @EverlyneMungai The judiciary is compromised by the executive.

Tom Ogada: The government is trying to fund many things at the same time. Where Kenyans expect money to go to, money is not channeled in that direction @nduokoh @dennisaseto @EverlyneMungai #TheSituationRoom

@Abdirah26592735 @Alfayaz11 Nairobians could file a class action lawsuit compelling each GoK department to publish DAILY accounts online - money IN - money OUT, as per relevant Q1-Q4 budget lines in the budget cycle No need to rely solely on elections. Taxes = quality services.

@Alfayaz11 Facts. We are not poor in resources or intelligence — we are poor in governance and accountability. The potential of this country is unmatched, but corruption keeps stealing the future from ordinary people. Reclaim Nairobi

I keep saying this, we do not lack the brains, knowledge, ability, or human resource to fix many of our broken systems. In fact, we are abundantly blessed with all of these. We are also not a poor country, as I have said before, we are simply a mismanaged one. Our biggest problems for decades, and ones that seem to worsen with each passing year, are nepotism, endless politicking, lack of genuine will, and above all, the cancer of corruption. I will never stop saying this. We are blessed with one of the most beautiful countries in the world and some of the most resilient and remarkable people. We have every opportunity to be the very best on this continent and to stand proudly among the best in the world. It is what it is. #ReclaimNairobi

@minarchismnow @xysist Citizens can file a class action lawsuit compelling each GoK department to publish DAILY accounts online - money IN - money OUT, as per relevant Q1-Q4 budget lines in the budget cycle We signed up for the 2002 rainbow & Vision 2030, not this corruption & overtaxation nightmare

@xysist Yes

The article is well written. My take away is this part ‘ The bill fails to address the deeper question haunting Kenya’s economy : Increased taxation with little to no accountability’

@MwangiBonnie @OAG_Kenya regularly reports stolen billions + Mpigs can earn 200k max Citizens power 1. We file a class action lawsuit compelling each GoK department to publish DAILY accounts online - money IN - money OUT, as per line items in the budget cycle 2. Tusilipe ushuru iibiwe

On the preposterous Singapore mirage, the numbers don't lie. Try and make sense of this insanity: 48% of our budget in 2026-2027 is dedicated to the past. To debt service. Not where we are going. 48% of the entire budget is thrown in to the wind. Won't create ONE job. Won't save ONE life. Won't fund cancer research. Won't feed ONE child. It is quite literally the price of greed, corruption, and stupidity in abundance. Our healthcare budget is KSH 202 billion. Our education budget is KSH 767 billion. But, our debt service is KSH 2.3 trillion. Our debt service is 11 times our healthcare budget. And, 3 times our education budget. Our government wants us to believe that it will earn KSH 3.6 trillion - even though it has never earned KSH 3.0 trillion, ever! The reality is that, we will spend KSH 4.8 trillion, earn around KSH 2.7 trillion, and add about KSH 2.0 trillion to our current debt, when it is all said and done. In the government's proposed Finance Bill for 2026 - the average citizen faces really gruesome new taxes. Such as 25% tax on phones. Taxes on mobile money transactions. This is a bull's eye target on every breathing Kenyan. Why? Because, where else will money to maintain this gravy-train come from? You know, it would really be uncalled for and uncivilized to touch politicians' compensation. Just look at the peanuts we pay politicians (attached), and then text or call every one of them, and tell them you are sorry for even thinking about calling for a pay cut for them. How would they be able to eat? @Senate_KE @NAssemblyKE @FlavNasmbu @MoGAbdi

Is Nairobi caught in a never-ending cycle of corruption? This deep dive explores why leadership failures persist and challenges citizens to rethink their power at the ballot box. Must watch! #Nairobi #KenyaPolitics #Accountability #ElectionMatters

@JoelJirane The answer is quality public schools in each ward. One roadmap is citizens filing a class action lawsuit compelling each GoK department to publish DAILY accounts online 🎯 - money IN - money OUT, as per budget line items Q1-Q4 of the budget cycle "Tulipe ushuru tujitegemee"

@TISAKenya What steps can we collectively take to file a class action lawsuit compelling each GoK department to publish DAILY accounts online? - money IN - money OUT, as per relevant Q1-Q4 budget lines in the budget cycle We demand it based on @OAG_Kenya corruption/incompetence reports

What This Means for Public Finance Accountability: • The Constitution Overrides Secrecy: The government cannot hide behind the Official Secrets Act to deny citizens access to public information. Non disclosure clauses in contracts with foreign governments or lenders do not override your constitutional right to information. • The burden of proof lies entirely with the STATE (not the citizen) to justify withholding public data. • Information is Not a Bureaucratic Favor: Citizens do not need to prove a "beneficial interest" or explain WHY they want information. Access is the absolute rule; secrecy is the exception. Delivered on May 15, 2026, by Hon.Justices Murgor, Laibuta, and Ngenye-Macharia, this is a monumental victory for every Kenyan demanding to know how public debt is structured, who benefits, and where our tax money goes.

🚨Court of Appeal Forces Open the SGR Black Box: A Major Win for Debt Transparency in Kenya The Court of Appeal in Mombasa has dealt a definitive blow to state secrecy. The appellate bench dismissed the Attorney General’s appeal, upholding a landmark High Court verdict that legally commands the government to immediately disclose hidden contracts related to the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR). The petition, relentlessly pursued by human rights defenders Khelef Khalifa and Wanjiru Gikonyo alongside Katiba Institute and the Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ), demanded full public access to SGR agreements, loan contracts, feasibility studies, and operational frameworks.

@JamesKWaNjeri *Here stands*

One day someone will write the history of Kenya and say, here lies a nation saved by its patriotic young people and built on the foundation of liberty, justice and prosperity for all. We can change the narrative, all it takes is one generation

@Mwangi1431690 @Ohta_Ryota That's it! I was flashing back to someone like him in the 2000s (?) at pressers next to Maina Kiai (?) I would be disappointed, but after watching the evolution of Kiraitu Murungi from civil society to oppressor, this tracks. Dawa ni full implementation of CoK2010.

@Ohta_Ryota Imagine this guy was once a human rights defender..

@kokondk @wayne_gakuo @IGChero_Ke Always rmbr apartheid was once legal. Regulations grounded in bad faith can be changed. SRC & all GoK bodies working against citizens can be held to account. Initially their pay hikes were cited as "to curb corruption" . Well, @OAG_Kenya reports & economic reality say otherwise

@wayne_gakuo @IGChero_Ke MPs' salaries are reviewed by MPs.

Whoever takes the reins in 2027 post-Lil Wantam, their first item on the agenda should be to review MPs' salaries DOWNWARDS. We can't be having lawmakers who are increasingly becoming lapdogs of the Executive while busy driving around in fuel guzzlers.
