The proposed Traffic (Amendment) Bill, 2026 introduces a measured but significant reform to the detention of motor vehicles and motorcycles under the Traffic Act (Cap. 403). It seeks to insert a new Section 107A, placing clear statutory limits on how long police may detain a vehicle following a traffic offence. Where evidentiary needs can be satisfied through photographs or an assessment report, detention is capped at 48 hours. In cases requiring further investigation, the maximum period of detention is limited to 14 days. The Bill also imposes a duty on the officer in charge to take reasonable steps to preserve the vehicle while it remains in police custody. If enacted, it will bring much-needed clarity and accountability to a process that has, for many vehicle owners, operated without predictable limits.

I want to make this special plea to all Zimbabweans from all ethnic backgrounds. Let us not amplify the voices of wicked, cruel, and bad people in our midst. We know who they are. We know that they create divisions within communities and within ethnic groups. Some of them are even funded to do so. Because if we remain divided, those who exploit us will continue to remain strong. So I want to appeal to you, my dear brothers and sisters, whether you are Ndebele, Shona, Shangani, Nambya, or from any other ethnic group, please let us not amplify the voices of people who divide us. I have been tagged in so many posts where you have a Shona man saying bad things about Ndebele people or a Ndebele man saying bad things about Shona people. Please do not tag me in those posts, because I will never repost them or comment on them. By doing so, I would be irresponsible. I have over 1.7 million people following me across three social media platforms, and the moment I respond to or amplify that nonsense, I give that person access to those 1.7 million people. That would be irresponsible, and that is why I will never participate in those kinds of discussions. I am not a tribalist. I am not a racist. I am a decent human being who wants to live in harmony with my compatriots from Zimbabwe and with people wherever I live, whether in South Africa or in Britain. I have lived in many countries and studied in different environments where there were significant differences in ethnic identity between myself and others, yet we got on very well. So what would stop me from getting along with my own people? As a man, I have had relationships across different ethnic groups, Ndebele, Manyika, Karanga, and even those close to me such as Zezuru, as I was growing up. I was never taught to hate a person on the basis of their ethnic identity. So please, let us not amplify such destructive voices in our communities. Block them if you can. The moment you amplify, retweet, or reshare such content, you are participating in it. You are validating it. And that is something we must all reject. Tribalists are useless people with no purpose in life except destroying communities.

The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) expresses profound grief and concern following the tragic death of Mr. Tom Ouya Imbukwa, Advocate, who succumbed to injuries sustained during a reported brutal assault. This incident marks a dark moment for the legal profession and the nation at large. The Society conveys its heartfelt condolences to Mr. Imbukwa’s family, friends, and colleagues during this period of immense loss. … The Law Society of Kenya reiterates that it will not relent until the truth is established and accountability is achieved.- LSK President @ckanjama SC in a Statement of the Law Society of Kenya on the Death of Mr. Tom Ouya Imbukwa, Advocate. @citizentvkenya @ntvkenya @KTNNewsKE @KBCChannel1 @K24Tv @tv47news @BBCAfrica @AlJazeeraWorld

Tenwek hospital built a brand new Cardio Thoracic hospital from scratch for about 5Billion. 176 beds, 6 theatres, lab, blood bank, 52 ICU units, endoscopy rooms etc. Ruto went to open it. The 89 Billion spent on statehouse in 4 years could build 17 of these across the country.

Kenya’s human rights crisis is deepening and it’s part of a worrying global trend. @Amnesty’s State of the World’s Human Rights (2026) report documents unlawful killings of protesters, attacks on media and dissent, rising impunity, and widening inequality in Kenya. Globally, governments are increasingly silencing dissent, restricting freedoms, and failing to protect the most vulnerable amid conflict, economic shocks, and climate crises.

We have to make sure that people among us who refuse to bend their values live to see better days. Thrive, even. The best of us must never be used as cautionary tales. Send something to Mwabili👇🏾 0799428109

Should men be involved in Maternal health matters? Tonight #AskTheDG is back, let's talk about Men involvement in Maternal and Newborn Health. @DrPatrickAmoth @Lasterbosire @MaryMagubo

Definitely 🤌🏾 Interventions that involve men have shown measurable results. These include increased communication between partners; greater preparedness for childbirth and support for their partners during pregnancy complications; and equitable decision-making power in the household. However, Male involvement remains an underused part of maternal health efforts.

I feel obliged to support @mwabilimwagodi2, a leader who has lost so much yet continues to advocate ferociously. Let’s support Tl Elder..

After I posted the mchanga audited reports in 2024 , exhausted, mentally drained and almost running mad, jobless and traumatized, Mwabili shared my number here enthusiastically and Kenyans gave me a million ksh that I’ll never forget. It’s our turn now to support him 0799428109

Microfinance institutions have had a tendency of imposing unconscionable interest rates under the disguise that the in duplum principle under Section 44 of the Banking Act does not apply to them. The High Court has ruled that the in duplum principle extends to all lenders. ✍️

While we do not condone any institution operating outside the law, we are alarmed that TVETA’s notice makes zero provision for the protection of thousands of currently enrolled students who bear no responsibility for KIM’s institutional failures. These are Kenyan consumers of education services who: •Paid tuition fees in good faith •Are mid-programme with examinations pending •Hold legitimate expectations of completing their qualifications •May now face unemployment, visa complications, or professional setbacks through no fault of their own. This must be reviewed asap @TVETAKenya @KIMKenya @EduMinKenya @elimikatrust

Last week, Lady Justice Namisi delivered a ruling to the effect that failure by a foreign company to register under section 974 of the Companies Act does not bar it from accessing Kenyan courts, and that beneficiaries cannot delay taking out a grant of representation citing cheeky reasons to the prejudice of creditors. Talk of progressive jurisprudence.

🔵 for IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Medical School Fees in Kenya: A Crisis We Must Confront Now I recently met Olga, a 5th-year medical student at the University of Nairobi Medical School, at the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists' Council (@Kmpdc). She is self-sponsored and carries a fee balance of approximately KES 900,000, with additional annual fees of about KES 350,000–384,000 for the remaining years. Despite working as a research assistant during her holiday, the burden remains overwhelming. Her story is not unique—it is the lived reality of many Kenyan medical students. THE BROKEN ASSUMPTION There exists a dangerous and outdated assumption in Kenya’s higher education financing model: that students admitted under parallel/self-sponsored programs have the financial capacity to sustain medical education. This assumption has collapsed. Medical training now costs KES 2–3 million+ over six years. Economic conditions have worsened, family incomes are strained, and employment after graduation is no longer guaranteed. Universities have increasingly commercialized medical education, while the State has failed to match training output with employment absorption. A STRUCTURAL MISMATCH Kenya faces a paradox: overproduction of doctors, underemployment of doctors, and persistent healthcare workforce shortages. This is not a resource problem—it is a planning failure. WHAT WORKED BEFORE The HELB model once offered a lifeline: accessible loans, affordable interest (~4%), structured repayment, and a revolving fund. Without HELB, many would not have completed medical school. I survived on HELB, which apparently also went to boost finances back home. I paid back the loan in 7 years of working. POLICY POSITION: WHAT MUST BE DONE 1. Universal Access to Medical Education Financing Expand HELB or create a dedicated Medical Education Fund covering tuition and upkeep, with income-contingent repayment and low interest rates. 2. Link Training to Employment (Bonding Model) Introduce structured internship-to-employment pipelines and service bonds in underserved areas. 3. Align Training Capacity with Workforce Needs Regulate intake based on internship capacity and employment opportunities. 4. Operationalize the Kenya Healthcare Professional Trust Fund Ensure transparent, well-funded support for needy students. The fund is being revitalised with Simon Kipchirchir Kibias appointed as chair and PS Mary Muthoni Muriuki alluding to it to help pay for fees of medics, speaking at the KMA Annual Gala Dinner. 5. Strengthen Public–Private and Philanthropic Partnerships Encourage sponsorships, scholarships, and partnerships. 6. Support Grassroots Initiatives Scale initiatives like Leave No Medic Behind (LNMB). LNMB participated is an initiative by thr late Prof Hassan Saidi, a gentle soul whose love for fellow humans was unmatched. LNMB participated in the #53KMAconf selling merchandise, and sensitising participants on how to help needy medics, and welcoming them to LNMB run later this year. THE ECONOMIC ARGUMENT Investing in medical education improves population health, productivity, and GDP growth. Failure leads to brain drain and system collapse. A CALL TO ACTION Olga’s words capture the moment: “I am fully confident that my dream of becoming a doctor will for sure come true despite these challenges.” The question is: Will the system support her— or fail her? CONCLUSION Kenya must choose to treat medical education as a public good requiring structured investment. We cannot build a resilient health system while financially excluding future doctors. IMMEDIATE RECOMMENDATIONS - Emergency bursary support for students with fee arrears like Olga. - Fast-track operationalization of the Trust Fund - National appeal to philanthropists - KMA-led coordination of support frameworks Let us invest in our medical students. They are Kenya’s future health system. Dr Simon Mucara Kigondu is a gynaecologist and the Immediate Past President of KMA
