Meanwhile while Kiarie is travelling to expand his capacity oversees, The Kenya Skating Federation has refused to forward him the reimbursement money that was sent to him through them

Yes Kasongo you are right that during HE Uhuru’s time the fuel pumps went dry, we carried Jerry cans in our vehicles, we lined up for fuel, but at no time did we buy a liter of pertrol at Kshs. 212and a liter of diesel at Kshs. 246.

Trump’s administration is reportedly planning to send US citizens exposed to Ebola to Kenya for monitoring and care instead of returning them to the US, according to NYT.

@MrCharlesky I'm interested

Can you stay awake from 1 AM - 4 AM every weekdays and work remotely? I have a remote job for you that pays $100/hr depending on input.

💣 JUST IN: Manchester United are monitoring Mason Greenwood’s situation ahead of a potential return to the club. Michael Carrick is highly impressed with his performances at Olympique Marseille and believes the Englishman could be the solution United needs on the right wing. There are no issues from Greenwood’s side, as he has always wanted to return to the club. Discussions are expected to take place in the coming days, with the deal potentially being sealed before the World Cup.

The Finance Bill 2024 triggered protests because Kenyans felt overtaxed and unheard. Finance Bill 2026 risks making things even worse: ✅ Higher Cost of Living More taxes mean higher prices for food, transport and basic goods. ✅Job Losses Overburdened businesses may downsize, freeze hiring or shut down. ✅Investor Exit Unpredictable taxes and policies are pushing investors away from Kenya, and the impact of this on the economy and job market is heavy. ✅Higher Production Costs Moving key products from zero-rated to tax-exempt status including animal feeds, medicine and other manufacturing inputs will increase production costs, which businesses will ultimately pass on to consumers. What is most unfortunate is that the powers that be don’t care about the pressure Kenyans are under. Instead of easing the burden, with elections coming up they see this as the last budget under their control, so a final opportunity to milk citizens dry, regardless of the economic pain being inflicted on families, workers and businesses.

Governor @Wamatangi_ : "I have invested KSH 5.5 billion in development in one year." Liar. Liar. Pants on fire. Take a look at the table attached here - containing actual data, from the Controller of Budget data. As opposed to listening to a proven charlatan - who lies every time his mouth is open. In 2022-23, his first year in office: From a budget of KSH 11.9 billion, he spends KSH 1.21 billion on 'development". That is 10% spend on "development", when the legal minimum is 30%. In 2023-24, his second year in office: From a budget of KSH 17.8 billion, he spends KSH 2.95 billion on 'development". That is 19% spend on "development", when the legal minimum is 30%. In 2024-25, his third year in office: From a budget of KSH 16.5 billion, he spends KSH 2.95 billion on 'development". That is 18% spend on "development", when the legal minimum is 30%. In just these three years, the lost development is a whopping KSH 6.23 billion. Billion, with a b. You and I, are missing KSH 6.23 billion in development, that we are supposed to have, because the money was there. It was available. Right there. The only thing needed, was prudence and purpose, and a commitment to serving citizens. That is what is lacking. Think about this: While we are missing KSH 6.23 billion in development, our county wasted KSH 1.2 billion in these three years alone, travelling across the globe, for absolutely nothing. So, we don't have KSH 6.23 billion in development that we should have. And, our country wastes KSH 1.2 billion travelling everywhere for nonsense. Even worse - is the fact this greed is denying people jobs. That KSH 1.2 billion is enough to create hundreds of jobs. The KSH 6.23 billion is enough to create thousands of jobs, right here in Kiambu County. Government must remember that is sole reason for existence is to serve citizens. Not itself. In 2027, let's choose Prudence. Purpose. And, Progress. bonniemwangi.com

Don't say anything. Just repost. 10K reposts will create enough awareness. Let's bring Precious and Zennel home.

My people of Kiambu County: When I announced my candidacy for Governor, I pointed out that what I want to bring to the County Government of Kiambu (@KiambuCountyGov) is: Prudence. Purpose. Progress Prudence means discipline. It means every shilling must be treated as sacred. It means cutting the bloat in government, hard-capping payroll, publishing spending, killing waste, and ending the culture of entitlement by those in government. So that the vast majority of money is spent serving citizens. Providing services. Developing our county, and creating jobs. Purpose means government must remember why it exists. Government does not exist to enrich those in office. It exists to serve citizens. To educate children. To support enterprise. To build roads. To fund clinics. To improve water access. To restore dignity to public service. I will cut wasteful spending, spend funds with purpose, and eliminate corruption. Progress means results. Not slogans. Not ceremonies. Not ribbon cutting without delivery. Real progress means bursaries that reach students and are enough to keep them in the classroom, hospitals that function, roads that are completed, procurement that is clean, and a county economy that creates jobs. With that in mind, take a look at the attached summary of how each shilling since devolution has been spent by the various county governments in our county since devolution. The numbers tell you everything you need to know about the upside-down priorities, greed, and frankly incompetence that has left so much pain and suffering in a county blessed with smart and industrious people. Consider these examples: In 11 years of devolution, our county has had KSH 142 billion to spend. To serve the 2.5 million people that call Kiambu County home. This is a lot of money, to be honest. Enough to do a lot of good. But how was it spent? Well, the first order of business was to spent KSH 72 billion on salaries for those in government. Kiambu County employs less than 1% of the 2.5 million people in the county. Yet, 51% of every shilling that came to Kiambu, a total of KSH 142 billion, went to salaries alone. The legal limit is 35%. This legal limit is designed to ensure that government serves citizens, not the other way round. When government is perverted into an extraction machine - we end up serving those in government, who naturally consume everything in sight. That is exactly what has happened here. By spending 51% of revenue when the legal limit is 35% - you and I have lost KSH 22.4 billion to those in government. Can you believe that? KSH 22.4 billion in 11 years. This is enough to: Build and equip 8 Level 5 hospitals. Hire 1,000 new doctors and 2,000 nurses for 5 years. Build 1000 classrooms to support 100,000 students. Tarmac 600 kilometers of roads. And still have over KSH 5 billion left! So - the point is, our issue is not the lack of money. It is greed of those in power, wastage, incompetence, and indifference. During this 11 year period, our county government has invested only 22% of the budget in "development". This is despite the legal requirement that at least 30% of the budget goes to development. The data is attached. In other words, the priority of those in government is to eat. To consume. For themselves. This 8% that is missing (30% minus the 22%), results in KSH 11.2 billion in missing development. It is the missing hospital. The missing road. It is the reason you and I have to buy water at KSH 5,000 per tank! It is a shame, and it needs to stop. During this same period, our county government has wasted KSH 4.2 billion travelling across the globe, for total nonsense. "Capacity building" in Dubai, at the cost of KSH 16 million. Another "Capacity building" in Dubai, at the cost of KSH 7.2 million. Another "Capacity building" in Dubai, at the cost of KSH 3.5 million. I think you are beginning to understand that these trips are a game. Nothing of value to you, and I. But these trips have cost us KSH 4.2 billion. Enough to build 5 Level 5 hospitals, for the benefit of all of us. Now - think about this: During this period, our county government has spent only KSH 1.5 billion on bursaries, FOR ALL THE CHILDREN IN THE COUNTY. A county with 2.5 million people. One shilling is spent on bursaries, for every three spent travelling for nonsense. This is what our issue is. Lack of seriousness by those in government. Upside-down priorities. What is worse, is that even the amount "spent" on development is often a lie. A fabrication. Take a look at the last attachment. These "hospitals" you see there, which are shameful - have cost close to KSH 500 million between them. The prices you see there were the original amounts, which were raised later as we have come to expect now. Wires are hanging in hallways of "hospitals" that look like they were constructed by Form 1 Building and Construction students. It is extraction all the way around. Not service to citizens. My point is this: We started with KSH 142 billion to serve people. 1% of the population took KSH 72 billion. Directly stealing KSH 22 billion above the legal limit. We lost KSH 11 billion in "missed development". We lost KSH 4.2 billion to wasteful travel. And that is before we factor in how much @Wamatangi_ , @GovernorBabayao and others have stolen from us. Almost all our governors leave office, and spend the next decade in courts because of corruption. Now you can begin to understand how a county with so much in resources ends up the way it is today. The most painful thing today is to see our people drunk at 10am in the morning on every corner of our county - because of lack of jobs and economic opportunities. And - knowing that this situation is avoidable. When @Wamatangi_ holds hostage permits for development from the likes of @Tatu_City - because he needs a few billion for himself, you and I suffer. Our neighbors suffer. Desperation increases. Crime increases. Families break down. That is the cost of charlatans in government. With your support, I will bring Prudence, Purpose, and Progress to Kiambu County. And I thank you in advance for your support. Read more at: bonniemwangi.com

A petition has been filed in court to stop banks from raising loan interest rates and charges without asking customers. The case says banks should not change loan costs on their own and should follow clear rules

Tension has been reported along Thika Road. The state of the highway is unusual, and just a few vehicles are seen on the highway. Kindly, if you’re using the highway to commute to work in town or elsewhere, take care. Mi huwa nasema kama huendi maandamano, wee kaa tu kwa nyumba apana tokea!

I am informed that several matatu saccos have independently parked their vehicles. Kenyans must support them with TOTAL SHUTDOWN, Ruto thought it best that buying out several "leaders" of the industry will stop the strike. #RejectFuelPrices

BREAKING: The Ruto government is reportedly planning to lease a floating power plant (powership/ or barge) at the Mombasa coast to “solve” electricity shortages. ~BD The plan? Import a giant power ship, likely from Turkey’s Karpowership, plug it into Kenya’s grid, then pay billions through a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA). And this is where Kenyans should ask hard questions. Floating power plants can cost around KSh 15-32 per kWh, sometimes even higher. We've seen them in countries like Ghana. And you haven't added other costs like taxes. Meanwhile: - Ethiopia sells us power at roughly KSh 8 - Uganda at around KSh 9-12 So explain like we are in Class 3: Why rent an expensive foreign ship to sell you electricity at 4 times per KW when cheaper electricity already exists next door? Aren't there other alternatives? This is starting to smell like the same old IPP script: Create a crisis. Bring in an “emergency solution.” Lock taxpayers into costly contracts for years. A few connected people make billions. Ordinary Kenyans keep paying expensive electricity bills forever. The Ruto govt could be creating problems today that could punish this country for decades.

Former Kenya Airways CEO Allan Kilavuka received Sh131 million in exit pay in 2025, including salary, pension and other benefits. His pay was up 77% from Sh74 million in 2024.

This is so wrong, kwanza the guys work in the office of Felix Kosgei.

On the preposterous Singapore mirage, the numbers don't lie. Try and make sense of this insanity: 48% of our budget in 2026-2027 is dedicated to the past. To debt service. Not where we are going. 48% of the entire budget is thrown in to the wind. Won't create ONE job. Won't save ONE life. Won't fund cancer research. Won't feed ONE child. It is quite literally the price of greed, corruption, and stupidity in abundance. Our healthcare budget is KSH 202 billion. Our education budget is KSH 767 billion. But, our debt service is KSH 2.3 trillion. Our debt service is 11 times our healthcare budget. And, 3 times our education budget. Our government wants us to believe that it will earn KSH 3.6 trillion - even though it has never earned KSH 3.0 trillion, ever! The reality is that, we will spend KSH 4.8 trillion, earn around KSH 2.7 trillion, and add about KSH 2.0 trillion to our current debt, when it is all said and done. In the government's proposed Finance Bill for 2026 - the average citizen faces really gruesome new taxes. Such as 25% tax on phones. Taxes on mobile money transactions. This is a bull's eye target on every breathing Kenyan. Why? Because, where else will money to maintain this gravy-train come from? You know, it would really be uncalled for and uncivilized to touch politicians' compensation. Just look at the peanuts we pay politicians (attached), and then text or call every one of them, and tell them you are sorry for even thinking about calling for a pay cut for them. How would they be able to eat? @Senate_KE @NAssemblyKE @FlavNasmbu @MoGAbdi

WHY WE MUST REJECT THE FINANCE BILL 2026 Here is the numbered list of the controversial sections of the Finance Bill: **Warrantless Data Access: ** Grants KRA unchecked access to private bank and mobile money records without a court order, violating constitutional privacy rights. *Higher Smartphone Costs:* Raises the excise duty on mobile devices from 10% to 25%, making phones more expensive. **Costlier Internet: ** Imposes a new 15% tax on mobile data packages and internet bundles. *Expensive Mobile Money:* Removes VAT exemptions on financial transactions, driving up transaction fees for mobile transfers and payment systems. **Upfront Mitumba Tax: ** Forces second-hand clothes traders to pay a 5% tax at customs based on "deemed profit," regardless of whether they make a loss. **Increased Rent: ** Raises residential rental income tax from 7.5% to 10%, which is expected to trigger higher monthly rent for tenants. **Fuel Pricing Changes: ** Alters the EPRA fuel levy formula, this will secure state funds rather than lowering local pump prices. *Taxed Healthcare and Food Inputs:* Strips tax exemptions on raw materials used to make local medicines, animal feed, and green energy products. #rejectthefinacebill

A very good afternoon to the best player in the Premier League! 👋😁

Today, I stormed Busia County to stand in deep solidarity with the resilient people of this border town, to condole with families grieving unimaginable losses, and to view the bodies of our fallen heroes in various mortuaries. The heartbreaking reality on the ground is that the death toll has now risen to five innocent youths after the Tuesday confrontations. Among those brutally taken from us is Fredrick Odiwour, a dedicated and prominent staff member for Busia Woman Representative Catherine Omanyo. These were not criminals; they were young Kenyans crying out against an economic chokehold, and their only crime was refusing to suffer in silence.We must be clear about what sparked this uprising. The people of Busia, like millions of Kenyans across the country, were driven to the streets by a crushing 24% surge in fuel costs. This sudden, merciless price hike triggered widespread matatu strikes and made the basic cost of survival completely unbearable. While we deeply regret the destruction of property, the looting, and the temporary halting of cross border trade, absolutely nothing justifies the state's lethal response. Property can be rebuilt and trade can resume, but a human life, once taken, is irreplaceable. As the Defacto ODM Party Leader, I utterly condemn the barbaric and excessive use of force by the police against citizens who are merely fighting the harsh economic times. Exercising a constitutional right to protest should never be a death sentence, and bullets will never succeed in silencing hunger. We are demanding that the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) immediately launch swift, thorough investigations to ensure the culprits are brought to book. We do not want empty rhetoric; we want the rogue officers who pulled the triggers identified and held criminally accountable. To the grieving families of Busia, Linda Mwananchi will stand firmly with you until justice is served and economic sanity is restored to our nation.
