I got into Harvard because I built an AI platform to help families in informal settlements design and build dignified homes. I can’t afford the fees, so I’m walking across South Africa to meet the families I’m fighting for and raise the funds. A walk for home.

A Kenyan female bball player joined the WNBA , a kenyan player joined the NFL , a Kenyan broke a marathon record ,Omanyala did a sub 10s under a week ,mashemeji derby happened . I think we're all allowed to talk about whichever sport . And don't demean local football like that .

Hey , @NVoitenkov , I am Kenyan 🇰🇪 founder building @spairally : a real-time AI public safety system that turns smartphones into threat detection tools. 8+ years in software engineering, background in telecoms + AI research, focused on lightweight models that work in resource-constraint devices . We have a live product , with paying users from 8 countries ( including US ) in less than 90 days , proving that public safety is an actual pain point that can gain global traction. I would love to chat .

I trained hard to get a sub-2 hour HALF marathon. I ran 21 km in 1:59:31. Sebastian Sawe ran double the distance and was 1 second faster. This is an extraordinary record breaking event. Congratulations Sebastian Sawe. Congratulations Yomif Kejelchafor the sub-2 marathon.

Congratulations Sabastian Sawe & entire @2RunningClub on breaking this ceiling. A special mention to my husband Coach Claudio Berardelli, great job 👏🏽 All the hardwork and discipline has paid off.

In 2025, Sabastian Sawe asked the AIU to test him as frequently as possible. He underwent 25 tests in the build-up to the Berlin Marathon, blood and urine, around 2–3 times per week, including days where he was tested twice. He maintained that same approach into 2026. Now, he has broken the Marathon World Record, clocking 1:59:30 in London. Officially the first man to go sub-2 in the marathon.

1:59:30. Humanity just got faster. Powered by Adizero. #YouGotThis

That boy circled in green is Peter Edung. Fourteen years old. From Sosian Village, Laikipia North. From a family that has very little, except now they have even less. They have a funeral to plan. Peter went to visit his uncle, a casual worker at Oldonyo Lemora Ranch. The ranch is owned by Ivan Tomlinson, a British - Kenyan dual national. It's the kind of place where tourists pay good money to forget the world exists. Peter didn't go there as a tourist. He went there to see family. He never came back. According to police reports, the incident occurred on the night of April 21, 2026. A firearm was discharged. Peter sustained fatal injuries. The weapon, a Mark Four CZ 527 rifle, was licensed to Ivan Tomlinson. The person police have named in connection with the shooting is Lance Tomlinson; the 15-year-old son of the ranch owner. One teenager shot another teenager. One is now at Rumuruti Funeral Home. The other is... not in custody. Probably watching Netflix somewhere. The suspect is unaccounted for. The System is "Moving." Here's what we know so far, based on publicly available information. Ivan Tomlinson, the father and firearm owner, reported to the DCI offices in Laikipia West on Thursday. He came with legal representation. He recorded a statement. He was subsequently released on cash bail of KSh 100,000 for the alleged offense of allowing a minor access to a firearm, contrary to the Firearms Act. Meanwhile, the juvenile suspect; Lance Tomlinson has not yet been formally apprehended. Police have stated that efforts to trace him are ongoing. I hope we are together up to that point. A 14-year-old boy is dead. A firearm registered to a British man was involved. The father has been questioned and released on bail. The son named in connection with the shooting is still at large, and the official word is that the search is at "an advanced stage." We are not investigators. We are not the court. We simply note the sequence of events and ask: If the roles were reversed, would the pace be the same? Multiple sources have indicated that the young suspect was taken to Nanyuki Cottage Hospital for what has been described as a mental health assessment. We do not know the medical history of the individual involved. We do not know the legitimacy or necessity of such an assessment. That is for medical professionals to determine. But here is what we can observe: When a poor Kenyan teenager is named in connection with a violent crime, the path is generally direct; arrest, cells, court. There is rarely a private hospital visit in between. Whether this assessment is standard procedure or something else, the public is watching. And the question is fair: Is this healthcare, or is this strategy? This tragedy did not happen in a vacuum. It happened in Laikipia; a county where land, identity, and justice have been tangled for over a century. More than half of Laikipia's land mass is occupied by large private ranches and wildlife conservancies. Many of these are owned by families of British descent; descendants of settlers who remained after independence. Meanwhile, pastoralist communities who once moved freely across this landscape have, over generations, been squeezed into ever-smaller parcels. Peter Edung was not part of any conflict. He was a 14-year-old boy. He was from an extremely poor family. He was visiting his uncle, a casual laborer, on a ranch his ancestors may once have walked freely. And now he's dead. We do not know all the facts of that night. We do not know what led to the discharge of the weapon. We do not know the full story and we may never know it completely. But we do know the context. And context matters. Where Are the Leaders? This is the part that should disturb every resident of Laikipia County.

Sad that even KENYA’s athletics body itself @athletics_kenya, @OlympicsKe and the entire sports ministry @moyasa_ke under CS @Waziri_Mvurya are not aware that this morning our very own Kenyan twin brothers ALEX NZIOKA MATATA and CHARLES MBATHA MATATA won Gold and Silver medals respectively in the men’s race of the 2026 Türkiye İş Bankası 21st Istanbul Half Marathon. Their finish was decided by a photo finish (mere hundredths of a second apart). Women’s race was also dominated by our own PURITY KAJUJU GITONGA who won a Gold medal.
