In my latest @theelephantinfo Gold and Grief, I explore how women in Kakamega’s artisanal gold mines are exploited by gender norms and unequal systems. The industry is sustained by their labor, yet their voices and rights are routinely sidelined.ReadMore;theelephant.info/analysis/2026/…

President has a message for Arsenal but not for the fuel crisis 😆😆😆 Awuoro bana

🏆 ARSENAL ARE CHAMPIONS 🏆

The Arsenal. Your Premier League champions.

A politicians life should be as comfortable as they makes yours. Until then the people should make a politicians life uncomfortable as theirs is.

Wewe tuambie juu ya femicide, all the kids who have been showing up dead and the security situation in the north. Hii kupayuka ingine wachana nayo.

“The government doesn't owe you anything!” Buddy, I pay taxes. The government damn well owes me a LOT.

I thought we already agreed that there's nothing like "stray" when it comes to state sanctioned violence. To call it "stray" validates the usage of this violence on the people you're told should be the target. Also how many times do you need to "stray" to f# up 50+ kids?

Comoros🇰🇲 government now suspends new fuel prices introduced in response to the Iran war, backing down ‌after the hikes, diesel prices by 46% and gasoline prices by 35%, prompted demonstrations and deadly clashes across the East African archipelago. "The government and President Azali (Assoumani) heard the cries of the Comorian people. There ⁠was no other solution than to listen to them. The goal is to preserve peace," Energy Minister Aboubacar Saïd Anli announces. President Azali suspended the decrees related to the fuel price hike, which were introduced on May 9, to allow for talks on the matter. Source: @Reuters.

Being m*rdered by a man is the leading cause of death in 18-44 year-old women globally but were concerned about male loneliness epidemic.

Independence from Britain is celebrated somewhere in the world roughly every six days.

I suspect his main takeaway is that our pain threshold is elastic

You're an elected MP, hio maneno unataka kusema, semea parliament 🤦🏽‍♀️

WOMEN are NO LONGER like your Mothers. If you want a woman like your mother, you may have to marry someone from your mother's generation. Today's women have learned how to CHOOSE THEMSELVES. If you cheat on them, they will honor you with the gift of distance. When we are all ready, we will RAISE OURSELVES.

@EPRAKenya has released its Press Release for the period 15th May to 14th June 2026 pursuant to Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act, 2019. Super Petrol goes up by Ksh.16.65 and Diesel by Ksh.46.29 per litre. EPRA states that the landed cost of Diesel surged by 20.32% which means it has increased from US$1,073.82 to US$1,291.98 per cubic metre. The Government has deployed Ksh.5 Billion from the Petroleum Development Levy Fund, a fund built from levies Kenyans already pay at the pump, to cushion Diesel and Kerosene. That cushion is clearly not enough. Of concern is that VAT on petroleum has now been pegged at 8% pursuant to Legal Notice No.70 of 15th April 2026, down from 16%. That reduction should have meaningfully softened these prices. Yet here we are. Two consecutive brutal cycles. Kenyans have a right under Article 35 of the Constitution to interrogate every line of this document. The PDL Fund is public money. Its deployment must be transparent and accountable. We will keep watching.

My new long-form essay is out today in @aeonmag. Rights require money — on why African governments are not poor, but made poor, and what it would take to change that. Read it 👇 aeon.co/essays/to-fund…

The Kenyan elite is not a monolith, but a class that has successfully consolidated its interests and identified its own survival as the primary goal. @WMutunga states that, while there is a serious division within their ranks, often manifesting as political theatre, this friction is rarely about the public good. Instead, it is a strategic management of power that keeps the masses distracted. How can we disrupt this cycle and reclaim our collective agency?

🚨 Public forests are not corridors for destruction. The proposed amendment to Section 56(2) could open Kenya’s forests to roads, utilities, and infrastructure through administrative approvals. Speak up. Protect our forests. #VoteNOSection56(2) #HandsOffOurForests

Kenya’s greatest challenge isn’t just policy failure, it’s a crisis of thought. Are we trapped in elite mediocrity, chasing Western narratives while neglecting the deep wisdom within our own roots? In this episode, “Our Elites Not Organic to Society,” @wmnjoya asks: Why do we seek answers from a collapsing global order, yet shy away from our indigenous knowledge? Without a strong philosophical foundation, our institutions remain fragile and disconnected from who we are.
