One time I went for a parents day and my son had preformed really terriblly . On the way home I took him for nyama choma , bought him some new clothes and some DVDS to watch at home. I refused to pass on the trauma of achievement based love . Many men including myself and more famous masculinity prophets suffer from this , it's a terrible burden to believe that only when we achieve do we deserve love .He learnt to share bad and good news with me . But I can't share any bad news with them at all ,my wound is too deep .

@NdunguWainaina The irony of the matter is most gas cylinders are placed inside the house.

All petrol stations and LPG gas plants located near residential estates in Nairobi have been ordered to relocate with immediate effect following the fire at the Total Fourways Petrol Station.

@anj_116_ I still use coast bus once in a while but I've noted they changed their mtito andei stop over hotel.

The one time Tigers roamed freely on our roads. This company Coast Bus was formed in 1957. They are the oldest operating bus company in Kenya. They are not just known for their tag line, "We lead others follow". They are known to have one of the most comfortable seats you'll ever find in a bus. At 69 years, you would expect them to be leagues ahead of what you currently see with Tahmeed, Ena, Dreamline and the like. But such is not the case here. What happened? How does a company with so much history suddenly experience stagnation and be at that point where nothing seems to be happening? 1. Failure to change with modern times. Here is a fact from the bus world. You fail to adjust to modern times, you are left behind. When online booking was introduced, alongside Modern Coast and Mash, Coast Bus had the first priority but they preferred to maintain offline booking where you could either contact the office via telephone or you have to physically visit the booking office. And that took passengers especially the young ones away. Coast Bus has since introduced Online Booking but it came late. A tad too late. 2. Fleet Upgrades. Comfort is something that was synonymous with Coast Bus. No VIP seats but each seat felt like a VIP seat. Coast Air was literally a plane on the ground. Full Air Suspension. Full Kiyoyozi. And their non AirCon units were super comfortable. Like Coast Bus is among the only bus companies utapanda na ufike mahali unaenda, uoge uingie kazi ama shule. Comfortable seats. Top of the class leg room. But while comfort is king, an old bus is not something passengers want to experience. I want you to see it from this perspective. After the KBE units came KBG units. After that we had three KBKs (F270s) and two Coast Air Units (KBN). From KBN we waited for a while until KBV and KBX and then later KBX. From KBX came KCA. From KCA we waited upto KCC and then KCF. Their newest Units are KCUs. Gari ni Engine. But don't let that fool you. Number plate matters in the bus world. Wewe unapanda KBV from Mumias alafu wengine wanapanda KCK. Then KBV has mechanical issues meaning sio guarantee mtafika mapema. Passengers note these things and slowly they begin to shift to other companies with newer fleet. 3. Failure to move with the changing Technology When Scania phased out the immortal Scania F330, they brought in the Scania F270 and Scania F310 which Coast Bus acquired. They were among the first companies to be approached for the Scania F360 bus but they declined. They have never embraced the F360 and stuck to the F310 Rungu Edition units. While their F310s are something else (code named Jet Fuel), the F360s presented Coast Bus with something more than just another Scania.

@fndaga @anj_116_ One of the mwananchi shell is at their abandoned yard next to KCB.

@anj_116_ And to their credit, they operated a bus codenamed "Mwanainchi" which was always an older bus with basic seats and charged ½ the fare between Nairobi and Mombasa. This was popular among comrades and hustler.

Barua ya waruhiu kwa watu wa limuru. Mkinunua 50by 100 na mnaona neighbors wanalima msikuje kupanda blue gums kwa hizo ploti .

@kamauwaruhiu There should be a law that bars Land subdivisions in fertile Agricultural areas,my heart sinks everytime I imagine Limuru as a ghetto,mbuloti maguta maguta my foot!

@anj_116_ Inform them Mash ilirudisha the 12pm bus.

SGR ya Mombasa made buses to reinvent. The one timeslot that SGR ate properly was the 1pm bus from Nairobi to Mombasa and vice versa. The traditional Nairobi-Mombasa route evolved into 1. Nairobi-Mtwapa 2. Nairobi-Bamburi 3. Eastleigh-Bondeni. Also amenities offered in these buses especially that Eastleigh-Bondeni route is on a different level and scale.

@georgediano When Tuju narrated the issue in detail, I was left wondering who is safe. You are on your own.

Many people are puzzled by the whole Raphael Tuju situation, but the story becomes clearer when you understand one thing,, Tuju found himself dealing with very sharp boys, mikora ya taon. And sharp boys don’t play games. The irony is that Tuju himself is not an ordinary man. He’s intelligent, experienced, and financially capable. In many circles, he is considered a very sharp man too. But in this case, he walked into a game where the other players were even sharper. Here’s the simplified storyline. Years ago, a group of powerful sharp boys wanted a prime piece of land in Karen. Money wasn’t the problem, walikua wamepora Euro Bond. What they lacked was a clean front to acquire such a high-value property without their names appearing anywhere near the deal. That's where our boy Tuju comes in. They convinced him they could arrange for the foreign owner to sell the land to him. A bank was lined up to finance the project. Everything looked legitimate. In 2015, the deal went through. The bank financed KSh 950 million for the purchase of the 20-acre property and promised another KSh 300 million to develop the Entim Sidai Luxury Villas & Wellness Project around the existing hotel. But here is where the game allegedly changed. The KSh 950 million was released and the land changed hands. The KSh 300 million development funding never came. Because the real interest, according to the narrative, was never the villas or the wellness project. The real prize was the land and the hotel. Without the development capital, the business model collapsed. The project could not generate enough revenue. Servicing the loan became increasingly difficult. Whenever Tuju tried to renegotiate the loan or have it refinanced, the response was simple: “Usijali Morio, utalipa tu.” Then COVID-19 hit and things escalated. By 2019, the loan had ballooned to about KSh 2.2 billion. Today, figures being mentioned are as high as KSh 4.5 billion. Legal battles followed, including proceedings filed in London. Sharp boys were determined to finish Tuju completely. At this point, the issue was no longer just about a loan. According to those following the saga closely, the real target had always been the prime Karen land next to St. Christopher. Tuju’s biggest miscalculation may have been believing the sharp boys were his friends. Now he’s learning the hard way that sharp boys don’t do friendship when prime land is involved. Keep Tuju in your prayers gaiiz. Because in Kenya, when sharp boys want something, they rarely walk away empty-handed. Kwanza unaskia majina zina tajwa kama wanunuzi ni Yamune tupu. Chesaa. For those who don't understand Rusungu fisurii, lemme explain it to you in kamakis language. Hii Risto ya Omwami Tuju ni kama kutolea beste yako form. Unanunua drinks and food anaita madame on your bill,, unalipa BnB pale Thindigua, then end up sleeping on a couch without a duvet as your friend enjoys 3some on your bill. Tuju analipia mbogi bill na haonjeshwi the kilgoris slippery zones. Yani unaitiwa form alafu sharp boys wanakutoka kabaridii. A true lesson for all men, a small miscalculation at your prime can cause a life of misery in your senior years. This property has gone together with other hard earned properties and his dignity. May Yehova Wanyonyi remember our poor boy Tuju, Big boys hawanaga huruma. Anyway, kama kawa sisi walala hoii siku zote hatuna maoni, Letu Jicho tu.👀

@DCI_Kenya The price of bhang should be reviewed coz the risk as it is ain't worth it.

NARCOTICS DRUG TRAFFICKERS BUSTED IN DAWN OPERATION; 180KG HAUL RECOVERED A well-coordinated intelligence-driven operation by officers from the Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU) has dealt a significant blow to a narcotics trafficking ring following the arrest of two suspects and the recovery of a large consignment of suspected narcotic drugs in the early hours of today. The operation unfolded at around 0200 hours, when vigilant ANU detectives acting on actionable intelligence regarding individuals involved in trafficking narcotic substances mounted a targeted operation in Ng’alalya area of Joska, within Mavoko Sub-County, Machakos County. Upon arrival in the area, the officers intercepted a motor vehicle registration number KCA 484R, a navy blue Toyota Auris, which had been flagged as a possible carrier of the illicit consignment. The detectives swiftly moved in and secured the vehicle before conducting a meticulous search. Their efforts yielded a significant discovery. Hidden inside the vehicle were three greenish gunny bags and eleven yellow-taped bales, all packed with greenish dry plant material suspected to be narcotic drugs. The seized exhibits were carefully secured as evidence. Two suspects who were in the vehicle at the time were immediately arrested. They have been identified as 30-year-old Charles Otibong’or Muruga and 29-year-old Joel Dienya Swart. However, during the operation, the driver of the vehicle, identified only as Newton, managed to escape from the scene by a whisker. Detectives have since launched a manhunt for the fugitive suspect as investigations intensify. Preliminary assessments indicate that the recovered consignment has an approximate weight of 180 kilograms, with an estimated street value of Ksh. 5,400,000. The recovered exhibits have since been securely transported and stored at the DCI Headquarters exhibits store, where they are pending official weighing and sampling to ascertain the precise weight and value as part of the ongoing investigations. Meanwhile, the suspects are currently being held at Muthaiga Police Station, where they remain in custody pending arraignment before court on charges related to trafficking in narcotic drugs. The motor vehicle used in the suspected trafficking operation has been detained at Joska Police Station, awaiting transfer to the DCI Headquarters yard as investigations progress. Detectives are actively pursuing leads aimed at tracking down the escaped suspect and dismantling the broader network believed to be behind the trafficking operation. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations reiterates its unwavering commitment to combating narcotics trafficking and protecting communities from the devastating impact of illicit drugs, and urges members of the public to continue sharing information that can aid in the fight against drug-related crimes. #FichuaKwaDCI Call 0800 722 203 (toll-free) or WhatsApp 0709 570 000 to report anonymously.

@georgenjoroge_ The mat crew knew she can't win her case in a police station.

do you support her?

@karis_gaz @EngJohnMachari1 Police station angeitishwa proove of payment na hapo nyuma iwe imeandikea na conductor amount of change owed.

@EngJohnMachari1 Apewe 900 yake na yeye aweke a new windscreen.

A lady reportedly boarded a matatu in Buruburu with her young sister while taking her to school. She handed the makanga a KSh 1,000 note, expecting her KSh 900 change after fare deduction. However, by the time they reached Nairobi CBD, the tout had allegedly disappeared without giving back the change. When she confronted the driver, he reportedly responded arrogantly: “Fanya kenye unaweza fanya.” Moments later along Luthuli Road, the lady picked up a stone and smashed the matatu’s windscreen. Looks like she really did “kenye anaweza fanya.” 😳💥 Kenyans online are now debating: Was this justified frustration or destruction of property? 🤔 . Let's debate this .

Skin. The Skin does not lie.

@jumaf3 It's scary.

There was a day a whistleblower into a mega million dollar corruption was shot by a sniper, in the middle of Nairobi CBD, with thousands of people walking around, and life moved on like nothing happened. Very powerful people run this country.

@SomoinaKapeen The angle of inclination

Lakini kusema ukweli nikona swali..nyash huwa ya kazi gani? Si all you need ni shimo ya kupoop? Ama Does size increase utamu ya vitu?hii obsession huwa ya nini exactly?

Before the introduction of electricity tokens we used to relay on kplc officials to come and physically read the total consumption and then send you a letter with your bill,your then had to go to the bank and pay the bill get the receipt and physically take it to their offices or wait for the official on his next round and give him the bank deposit slip.

In the few years that I been paying my own bills, I have made some observation through experience: poverty punishes you heavily. This happens in three main ways. 1. You eat the same ugali as someone in a higher tax bracket, but the cost takes up a much larger portion of your income compared to the richer person. Same product, same cost, different impact. 2. You buy one 2kg packet of ugali, while someone with a higher income can afford a bale (12 × 2kg) from a wholesale shop. Or they buy a 13kg LPG cylinder at once, while you buy 6kg or the daily Koko refills. This is called the kadogo economy, and it is very expensive. Or you buy a car on loan, while the rich can buy in cash or access lower interest rates. This makes their cost per unit lower, while yours is higher. This is poverty charging you interest. 3. Na pia usisahau mental cost. If you are in a lower tax bracket, you spend a lot of time thinking about small things like food, school fees or rent. At higher income levels, these things require little thought or sacrifice. That constant worrying is a cost on its own. The latter inafanyanga ikue umejam all the time

The good thing about 2027 is that all sitting members will be seeking re-election.
