@C_NyaKundiH This guy isn't what people think he is. I also don't think he is 100percent outside govt not after all those years. Give it time, in the end the truth shall come out. A Moi era operative can't suddenly shed his spots. He is what he is.

@C_NyaKundiH Whatever side one is on, it is clear he is not the solution, far from it. Anyone who is a Moi political orphan can't have good things planned for this country. They simply can't help themselves and this where an enlightened voting public is a politicians nightmare. Wake up!

Rigathi Gachagua must stop pretending he is on a holy mission to save Kenyans while spending his energy sanitizing Uhuru Kenyatta and the Kenyatta family empire. If Rigathi wants to lecture the country about corruption, greed and betrayal, he must also explain his own billions. Which industry built him? Which factories? Which exports? Which invention? Which serious enterprise created that kind of wealth? Kenyans are tired of politicians who become billionaires through tenders and proximity to power, then return later wearing the costume of saviours. And why this obsession with defending Uhuru? Uhuru’s administration left Kenya drowning in debt, Eurobond questions never disappeared, state capture exploded, connected families became richer, and ordinary Kenyans were handed the bill. Ruto has made the crisis even more worse, but Uhuru helped build the road to this disaster. Is Rigathi honestly trying to save Kenyans from Ruto’s greed and failures with his 'opposition', or is he trying to rehabilitate one corrupt power network so it can replace another? The journey of saving Kenyans cannot be led by people obsessed with defending the same Kenyatta family empire that benefited while the country was being looted, borrowed into a hole, and handed over to another gang of thieves.

@TaweMovement1 Educate the voters with indepth knowledge on the issues. That's you empower them not just blind declarations without context. Good or bad president a strong parliament is worth a lot. Then there's the issue of odious debt.

@TaweMovement1 Not really. You're right he is a lousy guy but the real problems will still persist even if a rainbow coloured baboon is elected president. Voters need to focus on a quality Parliament that would have prevented alot of the things we are seeing today and two deal with our debt

A truck driver was seen kicking containers of milk angrily along the road. It is alleged that after delivering the goods, they failed to pay him the full amount leaving Ksh2500. The driver then got upset and kicked the containers.

(MAK), Together with all transport stakeholders who were sidelined in the recent negotiations, strongly condemn the dishonest and underhanded actions of a few industry players who secretly called off the transport sector strike without the knowledge or consent of their partners.

Rigathi is absolutely right that the oil that comes to Kenya( that one from G-to-G) does not pass through the Straits of Hormuz. That is why some of us have always questioned Ruto’s excuses for hiking fuel prices.

@SokoAnalyst Someone needs to scan the whole of the East African coast right into the international waters because it looks like there is a parking lot of oil tankers somewhere acting as the storage for substandard fuel. I don't think this idea is beyond comprehension. There's something.

If diesel is bought at KSh 60 per litre, Kenyans deserve to know how it lands in Mombasa at KSh 167. Freight and insurance cannot swallow KSh 107 per litre. That gap smells of inflated costs, hidden margins and theft. Who is eating from Kenya’s fuel pain?

@themayor_ke Withdraw from the system, one week and see the effect on the system. That's what they did in Italy. Going to the streets now works for them, how about staying put for a week? No unnecessary bloodshed, no money movement, everything stops for private enterprises and GoK.

Matatu owners have little to lose from high fuel prices. After all, people have no choice but to use public transport. They simply raise fares, shifting the full burden onto the already overburdened mwananchi. So if they call off their strike, we should launch ours, a unified people’s strike against exploitative fare hikes. We’ve had enough.

Media platforms were warned not to take photos or videos during the fuel talk meeting with matatu associates. They were warned, but someone just pretended he was holding her phone, took a snap when they were issuing cheques. The photo is from a state official. It was taken secretly during the envelope distribution. Each envelope had a KSh 2 million cheque. The matatu associates froze and declared that the protest had been suspended countrywide. They turned the protest into millions...into wealth. Going home smiling with KSh 2 million plus job promises. Just same like Mprara Kebaso who became millionaire in just months.

@C_NyaKundiH The next maandamano must follow the Italy way. Stay at home, do nothing, stop the machine. Let's see Kenyas numbers after that week. No violence, no movement, deny them the blood on the streets.

Nothing serious will come out of these suspended matatu talks because the real problem is not lack of meetings, it is a government that keeps creating economic fires and then pretending to negotiate over the smoke. This seven-day suspension is not peace but another powder keg sitting under Ruto’s regime. Every new fuel fight, every levy, every strike, every angry sector and every broken promise becomes another trap and another landmine on the road ahead. I keep wondering how Ruto imagines surviving another term when there is no election nearby to blame, no campaign season to escape into, and almost no room left to fix anything because the country is drowning in odious debt. The regime is now trapped in a debt prison of its own making, where even pretending to help one group requires robbing another suffering Kenyan somewhere else. If I were Ruto, I would not even try to run again, because even if he performed a miracle and forced his way back, this experiment cannot work forever. You cannot rule a wounded country through taxes, police threats, confusion and temporary deals while hope keeps disappearing from the economy.

I once had a friend who grew up in China ask me why so many Americans watch the news. Confused, I asked, "What do you mean?" She responded, "Well, in China no one watches the news because we all know it's propaganda. I guess Americans haven't figured that out yet." Among the moments that completely changed my paradigm on life - this was one of them.
