President William Ruto has directed the government to buy idle land in the Coast region within 90 days and redistribute it to squatters. The move will cover areas in Kilifi, Kwale, Mombasa, and Taita Taveta.
I have received with deep sorrow the news of the passing of my staff member Frederick Odiwour (Papa). Papa succumbed to a bullet fired by a police officer in Busia. I am personally following up on the matter with the relevant authorities to ensure that circumstances surrounding this incident addressed and justice is pursued. To the family and friends of Papa, I extend my deepest condolences. May you find strength during this difficult time.
Uganda has secured more powers at KPC Kenya after buying a 20% stake. They can now approve the hiring or firing of the CEO and tariff reviews at KPC
To subsidize fuel by Kes 50, we need to abolish 33 counties. I explain below. I agree Parliament must be recalled from recess. They’ll have to do some trade offs and some math. Some data to start us off: - Kenya annual consumption : consumes roughly 6–7 billion litres of petroleum products annually (petrol + diesel + kerosene combined). - Monthly this is 500–600 million litres Now let’s see what people are asking for in subsidy. If government subsidized fuel by KSh 50 per litre, the monthly cost would be approximately 50* 500m or 50*600m This is KSh 25–30 billion per month [KSh 300–360 billion per year] What does this mean? - 72% -86% of county Counties (Equitable Share) - 51% of Kenya’s entire education budget. - 2–2.6 times the entire national health budget - CDF will have been dropped 5X over -21X statehouse budget -13X judiciary budget -7.2X parliament budget When you hear people mention KSh 50 fuel subsidy as a small measure - it is not a “small relief measure.” We are in a difficult moment. And we must remember this in our pursuit for political relevance. I wish parliament the best. BUT they should definately be recalled from recess. For once you miss Baba @RailaOdinga. He would know that on a time like this, Jenya is facing a much bigger problem than anything ever in its history. - @TimKipchumba
One day someone will write the history of Kenya and say, here lie the ruins of a nation destroyed by greed.
Mukabane: Today, we have just had a breakthrough, not because we are satisfied, but because we want to give negotiations a chance. We are waiting for negotiations at the high level, but we would like to let the customers and those who we work, if this is not taken seriously within the 7 days that we have given, the strike will be back.

We have recalculated the maximum petroleum prices to be in force from 19th May 2026 to 14th June 2026 following a petition by public transport sector operators on the need to minimize the risk of motor fuel adulteration that may arise due to Diesel & Kerosene price difference.
