Being 43 is wild. People your age are living completely different lives. Some are grandparents. Some are raising toddlers. Some are newly divorced. Some are newly engaged. Some haven’t slept in three years. Some are in St. Tropez posting Aperol spritzes from a yacht. Some look 25. Some look like they personally remember the invention of Tupperware. Nobody got the same assignment.

The fear is gone. She was illegally arrested for putting on a flag and she has chosen courage over fear. Start it from the top🎤

@ideasnvisions @eltorros Honestly sioni kama anakapitia juu I think she's faking the thefts ndio akue na ma woiye apate next victim. Na hio ndio inaniudhi

@Nyokaffiii @eltorros I even took her to court, our small claims court is equally useless but God has been doing me justice. She blocked me on all socials because she knew she had no intention of paying me back. To imagine the crocodile tears she shed and I fed her for a whole week. But anakapitia

@eltorros Unajua shida ni nini? Watu hawamuaniki. So hakapati consequences at all. Ana move to the next victim na hio kazi yake mbaya🤣

I LOLd 🤣🤣🤣

The Finance Bill, 2026 was published on 30th April and is now before Parliament and every Kenyan deserves to know what is in it. The government targets Ksh3.63 trillion in revenue for 2026/27 and a wider budget deficit of 5.3% of GDP in the 2026/27 fiscal year (July-June) up from 4.7% in 2025/26. These are not unreasonable fiscal objectives but the manner in which the burden of achieving them is distributed is a cause for serious concern. On tax filing timelines, the Bill moves the income tax return deadline to April 30th which is two months earlier than the current June 30th and compresses nil return filing to January 31st. This reduces the time available for audit completion, cash flow planning and compliance. For small businesses and individual traders, this is not administrative reform. It is an additional compliance cost they can ill afford. On mitumba, the Bill inserts a new Section 12H into the Income Tax Act which deems profit at 5% of customs value payable upfront before goods are released by KRA as a final tax. A trader importing a bale worth Ksh1 million pays Ksh50,000 regardless of whether they make a profit or a loss. I cannot in good conscience describe this as equitable.  The Bill increases residential rental income tax from 7.5% to 10%. Absent a serious enforcement framework, this will drive non-compliance rather than revenue. The government must fix the enforcement gap before it increases the rate. One without the other is burden-shifting. On digital financial services, the Bill removes existing VAT exemptions on money transfers and payment processing. These are the tools of financial inclusion that millions of Kenyans including the very people this government says it wants to reach rely on daily. Making them more expensive will not serve the objective of a broader tax base.  By including interchange and merchant service fees within the definition of management or professional fees for withholding tax purposes, the Bill introduces a compliance burden into automated banking processes. That burden will be passed on to businesses and ultimately to consumers. The amendment to Section 24 of the Income Tax Act empowers KRA to deem at least 60% of a company's undistributed income as dividends for tax purposes. This fails to account for legitimate decisions on reinvestment, working capital and business growth. It is a retrogressive measure that sends the wrong signal to the investors Kenya needs. A 25% excise duty on telephones for cellular and wireless networks is proposed. A phone is not a luxury. It is how Kenyans bank, communicate, conduct business and access government services. Parliament must interrogate this carefully. On PAYE, Kenyans were led to expect relief and a restructuring of the tax bands to ease the burden on salaried workers. That proposal does not appear in this Bill. That is not a minor omission. An explanation is owed to every employed Kenyan who was waiting for it. To be fair, the Bill is not without merit. The reduction of corporate tax for non-resident companies from 37.5% to 30% improves our investment climate. The extension of the tax amnesty to cover liabilities up to 31st December 2025 provides a genuine and welcome pathway to compliance. VAT exemptions on electric buses, bicycles, dialysers, animal feed raw materials and PPP infrastructure are sensible measures. The clarity introduced on trust taxation ensuring beneficiaries are not taxed on income already taxed at the trust level and the recognition of gratuity contributions as exempt income are also steps in the right direction. Be that as it may, we cannot afford a repeat of June 2024. Parliament must discharge its oversight role with the seriousness this moment demands. They should not merely rubber-stamp what the Treasury has placed before it. Every clause must be scrutinised. Every punitive or ambiguous provision must be rejected or amended. #FinanceBill2026 #PublicParticipation

Ahsante Kisumu.

@Weeleey6 uyu naye ataongoza hii nchi kama wanataka ama hawataki he is the<Malema,Sankara,Biko,Castro,Che Guevara without forgetting Traore .....list is endless of our beloved Sovereign KENYA.

My wife who has never run before decided to join her friends for a run. No preparation, no exercise just vibes.. Now I'm being called to pick her up from the ambulance 😂

We’re going to need a few days to recover from this one… 😮‍💨 2 men under 2 hours. 3 men breaking the world record. We have officially entered the new era of marathon running 🫳🎤

I didn't write Mad Women because I was angry, though I have been. I wrote it because I was tired of systems that punish ambition, desire and defiance in women while celebrating the same traits in men.

If you have ever tried articulating to someone the absolute nightmare that is this government’s corruption and incompetence - I respectfully submit that there can be no more accurate representation of the situation that these attached four exhibits offer. Frame 1: A family in Kiambu County is spending their weekend fundraising- stopping strangers to ask for donations, after losing their love one during the week. The hospital bill was KSH 371,000. @_shakenya paid KSH 90,000 and told the family they are on their own. The family cannot plan the funeral until the amount is paid. The current balance is KSH 237,000. The government is nowhere to be seen. Frame 1: Patients in Mathare hospital spend 261 days of the year, LYING ON THE FLOOR, or sharing beds with strangers, because apparently, we don’t have money to buy beds. Frame 3: During the same year, Ministry of Health @MOH_Kenya LOSES KSH 8.2 billion in interest on legal bills, because it let the bill sit on the table until that much interest accrued. This KSH 8.2 billion is enough to clear the KSH 237,000 billion mentioned above, a whopping 34,600 times! Let me repeat. The KSH 8.2 billion wasted on avoidable interest is enough to clear the KSH 237,000 a whopping 34,600 times. If the people in government were not corrupt and or incompetent. Frame 4: During the same year, the Auditor General finds that @MOH_Kenya paid out KSH 41 million for one patient who apparently delivered 10,860 babies through normal in one year. 10,860 deliveries in one year. It also says it paid out KSH 51 million for one patient who received 2,808 procedures in different hospitals in different locations, ALL AT THE SAME TIME. One patient, different hospitals, 2,808 procedures, AT THE SAME TIME! Another patient apparently gave birth to 656 babies through C-Section in the same year. This is the reality that is unfolding all at the same time. In the same country. This, ladies and gentlemen, is a Government of Thieves, by Thieves, and for Thieves. @HonAdenDuale @_shakenya @EACCKenya

Young people who need education, work, opportunities, dreams, growth, but this is what the political class gives them. A ceiling of death and destruction. It's social sabotage by the political class. And it adds up to underdevelopment because basically, the politicians are telling us that there's a limit to what our youth are allowed to know or imagine. It's so, so, so sad. And this is why I make so much noise about education and thinking in Kenya, and how the political class and our institutions suppress our imagination. Things like this stunt our political imagination, but #githerimedia blocks us from seeing it by cheating us that ideas don't matter to employers. If these are the employers they were referring to, of course they don't want young Kenyans to be knowledgeable! This violence is the agenda the media promotes by telling us those lies. Because the opposite of knowledge isn't ignorance. It's violence. Yet KICD said our kids don't need knowledge. It's just horrifying to watch this self-fulfilling prophecy happen in real time.

@adanonso_ @_Nursepreneur 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣or 30 days if the month of birth has 31 days. Do men realise they are actually the ones at risk of siring unhealthy babies?

@_Nursepreneur Not accurate, it’s 39 years, 11 months, 29 days, 23 hours, and 59 seconds….. that’s the correct time it ends

No, fertility ends at 39years 11months.

@elisha_sami @Dr_BossBabe They woke up early 😔

@Dr_BossBabe Man! what did Kenyans do to deserve this kind of leadership?

We don’t have a government here! I have been a victim of the ongoing mugging and destruction of property along Southern Bypass From 6am there’s been no police response! This is organized crime

So Trident Insurance goes under receivership and not a single clear notice to clients? I only find out AFTER being arrested and fined for “no insurance.” This is gross negligence. Customers deserve proper communication, not punishment for your failure. Fix this mess. COMPENSATE
