This group of #RejectFinanceBill2024 protestors is now marching into Nairobi CBD.

Posta Kenya to shut down 125 post offices and cut 440 jobs in a major restructuring move to save Sh1 billion in costs.

Finance Bill 2026 wants full suspension of data protection Act. Here is how. 1.

Be it QuickBooks, zoho, etc • To give KRA live feed of your transactions Fail to comply: 100K penalty every month. 2.

Pre - filled Tax Returns • KRA will generate tax returns for you based on any info available to them.

This is the first time in Kenya’s history diesel has gone up by Sh46 to Sh243 in a single fuel pricing cycle after an EPRA review. When diesel goes up like that: — Cost of living goes up — Logistics costs go up (Yet salaries remain the same)

A school in Nandi county that has no electricity. Ironically, these are the schools that will be getting laptops!!!

This fuel increase is economic terrorism against Kenyans. Petrol is up, Diesel is up. Transport will go up, food will go up, power backups will become more expensive, and every small business will be squeezed again. You cannot keep looting, overtaxing and mismanaging a country, then punish citizens at the pump and call it regulation.

Kenya’s government now says it needs nearly KSh 400 billion every year to sustain the so-called affordable housing programme. This is the same project that was forcefully imposed on Kenyans through deductions from their salaries despite massive public opposition. Citizens were told their money would finance the programme yet now the state claims it still requires hundreds of billions more. That contradiction alone exposes the entire scheme as fiscally questionable. Who exactly are these houses being built for? Ordinary Kenyans cannot afford food, rent, school fees, electricity, or the endless taxes being unleashed through every Finance Bill. Yet the political class behaves as though the country’s greatest emergency is constructing concrete blocks financed by overburdened workers.

Irungu Kang'ata: Manufacturing, education and health should be central pillars of our national policies.

Kenya plans to buy a stake in Aliko Dangote’s proposed East African oil refinery through the National Infrastructure Fund. The refinery could cost up to Sh2.6 trillion.

Finance Bills used to arrive with reliefs, incentives and hope for ordinary citizens. Nowadays, people read them like horror trailers like, waiting to discover which new tax, levy or burden is coming next.

🚨 Kenya’s forests are under attack. A proposed amendment to Section 56 of FCM Act will allow roads and utilities through public forests. With 10 ha of Ngong Road Forest already targeted, this threat is real. Tell your Senator to reject & #VoteNOSection56(2). #HandsOffOurForests

The first thing France did was get immunity. Do you think they have your best interests?

If a French troop kills you, he will be excused. Yes, Ruto has signed that.
