Again I ask, do we have national plans to respond to this? Are we doing drills?
From quickly diverting flooded roads and sending alerts, training how to use enablers like drones for search and rescuing people on rafts, quickly restoring lost power lines and telco masts etc?

May 2026 ENSO update: The charts are blistering RED! Kenya's OND rainy season is likely to coincide with a strong El Nino (> 95% probability) and a strong +ve IOD, going by May 2026 initial conditions. The first reports of highly enhanced precipitation likely to occur in Eastern, North Eastern and the Coast in the coming rainy season

This country is honestly depressing.
But hopefully the war doesn't resume and there isn't a shock due to El Nino or the hanta virus.

@alexmwanzo Unfortunately, this is nowhere close to the full dose of pain...just a midly dose. Hapa mbele is kinungi fog.

@kerubo_hillary @Elvis_Localman Weeeuh...but lets try something for a sec, sit down with that thought for a second and let it percolate. What if he does get a second term (by whatever means.Hard as it is fathom,its a possible outcome). Then what.? Tutado?
We need to answer this if we are vested on a 2027 farce.

@rex_maina Take a dive into what became of hungary during Orbans rule.

The reason politicians are buying media houses is to control intellectual discourse by turning conversations into noise instead of accountability. You’ll notice the pattern: shallow interviews, no conclusive or progressive trajectory in discussions and carefully curated guests.

These are dictatorial powers that the govt, through KRA, is seeking... and they will have multiple applications outside taxes.

A government that cannot explain where money goes has no moral authority to ask for more.

@roomthinker And amidst all this farce, repeated calls by @OkiyaOmtatah @JimiWanjigi @otienowill and others that we need revenue estimates before we get to financing some peoples rags to rich life-arcs, go unanswered. youtu.be/l5IWQ3qIeJE?si…

If you ask KRA and the Government of Kenya at large, they will tell you the sole reason a business exists is to generate and pay taxes.
And with every passing moment they think of increasingly innovate ways to extract more taxes.

Under Finance Bill 2026: —Individuals who fail to issue an eTIMS invoice may pay Sh10,000 or double the tax. —Companies may pay up to Sh100,000 or double the tax. No eTIMS receipt may mean your expense is not counted, so you pay more tax

@WashiraX @WRoselyne_ As you all read...remember-we are alone, only you hold the tools for your liberation. Your MP was bought and paid for eons ago.

Unfortunately,
Even MPs have not grasped how dangerous this proposal is.
• It elevates KRA above the law.
If it passes, no one is safe. Big or small.
- Summon your MP.
- Email your objections now to the finance committee:

Deadline: May 25, 2026, 5 pm.

Finance Bill 2026 wants to make you helpless before KRA. Right now, the law says: - If you lose a tax case at the Tax Tribunal and appeal to the High Court, • KRA cannot freeze your bank accounts • Until your appeal is heard and finalized. That protection is called Section 42(14)(e) of TPA. The Bill wants to DELETE it. Completely. Meaning: Even if you have appealed your case to the high court, KRA can still: - Freeze your bank accounts - Grab money in your bank accounts - Collect money from your tenants and customers All while the tax case is live in court. Implications: • Pay now, argue later becomes the law • Businesses shall lose all cash during active disputes • You may win in court but find your business already dead This is one of the most dangerous sentences in the Finance Bill 2026.

And therein shall we get the ruins of a country destroyed by greed(RIP-@RasnaWarah)
We need to find the circuit breaker NOW-not in 13 months.
Then, maybe then, we salvage the soul of our nation.

We are on a death spiral aka cascade failure.1) The economic pain will get worse, 2) decay of social fabric will accelerate, 3) everyone will switch to extreme survival mode, 4) the system will dig in and seek ultimate extraction and control, 5) all in a positively reinforcing..

@MutemiWaKiama @UtuNaUzalendoKE Kuna kiulizo hapa...lets assume kaongo gets re-elected (by whatever means). For the raging public who wants him gone, the question should be what then? Once we answer that, then a derived conclusion is that there is no need to wait (13mths) on a system thats stewarding our pain.

Ruto is no longer preparing to win 2027.
He is preparing for what happens AFTER Kenyans reject the results.
Look carefully at the pattern.
Njoki Ndung’u being pushed to the ICC.
Philomena Mwilu exiting soon.
Warsame already singing “respect the appointing authority.”
A carefully cultivated Supreme Court bench slowly taking shape around one man’s political survival.
This is not random.
This is architecture.
A 7 judge shield designed to sanitize disputed elections, neutralize constitutional resistance and protect power at all costs.
Kenyans must stop thinking rigging only happens at polling stations.
Modern state capture happens in the courts, in appointments, in institutions and in silent elite deals made years before an election.
Why is State House so invested in judicial positioning?
Why are loyalists being rewarded strategically?
Why is every independent institution slowly becoming politically obedient?
Because Ruto understands one thing:
The real battle after 2027 may not be in the streets.
It may be in the Supreme Court of Kenya.
Observe the SCOK carefully.
Observe the appointments.
Observe the silence.
Observe the programming.
This regime is not planning for democracy.
It is planning for legal protection after democracy is violated.
History has taught us one painful truth:
When the judiciary is captured, the citizen becomes powerless.
2027 will not just be about votes.
It will be about whether Kenya still has institutions strong enough to defend those votes.

@nderi_j As was pointed out a few years ago...when we default, there will be signs- The desperate rank of an extractive system desperately trying to survive.

...they also have sweeping powers to determine whether you made money or not. Whether you had an income is besides the point.
