You can be good at what you do. And You can be popular for it. Try to be both, but if you can't, it's better to be good.

He posted ONLY HIMSELF! Jesus Christ! 🤢

I confirm that Brian Njung'e aged 24 years old a student of Kiambu National Polytechnic died inside Kiambu Police Station today on 21st May 2026. The alleged manner of death is suicide by hanging and his clothes have blood stains from nose bleeding.

If GoK was serious about this (and their actions tell us they are not): (1) the state would not be fighting as aggressively as it is to keep SGR contracts secret, hiding behind ‘national security’ claims (2) @KeTreasury would have made contracts for loans from institutions like TDB public (annual debt service to that body can be in the $ 1 billion p.a. range) (3) we would have far more regular updates on inflows & outflows from funds that should be ring-fenced (but as PDF, RDL prove to us, they are not) (4) we would see all tax returns & asset ownership data for anyone in public office - both politicians & civil servants (5) Energy Ministry would have given taxpayers detailed clarity on what the triggers are for subsidizing fuel ages ago. This was required in our last @IMFNews program, but GoK chose not to comply. This idea that ‘transparency’ is only for ‘other people’ (taxpayers like you and I, that is) is the unspoken part of how GoK makes policy. One rule for thee, and another for me.

The US is the biggest terrorist organisation in the entire world.

Tax experts - correct me if I am wrong, but this is what I understand KRA’s proposal in the finance bill 2026 to be. Assume I made revenue of 100,000 All my costs are 80,000. My net profit is this 20,000. KRA at present expects 30% of this as corporate tax. Leaving me with 14,000. I can pull that out as dividends, at which point KRA will tax me. Or, I can plough it back into the business. KRA’s proposal is to TAX at MINIMUM 60% of this, the ceiling being at the discretion of the commissioner general. This makes absolutely NO SENSE to me. Not only are you punishing reinvestment, you are hitting hard new businesses that are the most likely to reinvest their profits, not to mention businesses that are growing organically. In what universe is this a rational policy move?

This‼️

@danaceda "Private citizens ought to make their financial data public. We, public officials, however, must keep ours secret.... For national security reasons."

@warubuku Hata Kwa upole ?

@danaceda how dare you a normal citizeen ask a full cabinet secretary to declare his Billions? omera yawa, it is not posiboooo

@aCreole Yes

I think, as part of transparency, all elected leaders' KRA Pins should be easily accessible

@charlotte_bwana @dave_themc Those guys are unbelievable

@danaceda @dave_themc I don’t use KLM beverages of this, I missed a flight out of Lagos and I went to the airport two hours before the flight. They said check in was closed.

Pole sana to those affected. This is how KLM behaves all over Africa. I used to have to fly KLM alot and it happened on every flight. If you can avoid this airline, please do.

It's such a disgusting behaviour @KLM.......I would never, ever again! Infact, I would ban my entire generation from even thinking about travel with such a mannerless airline that treats her customers with such disrespect! 😡

@danaceda Me hushangaa mtu hawezi hack and expose all that stuff

@akurajr001 Parliament is a rubber stamp

@danaceda KRA can't act alone, parliament has to pass a law. Mpigs wanafaa viboko.

KRA's war on business is continuing. And they will win.
