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



I remember begging the officers to allow us to make Dr. Obwaka comfortable because he was in poor health. We were passed from one person to another, with no clear response (The Investigating Officers and the In-charge). Dr. Obwaka had shared that he had previously undergone heart surgery. When we had no other option, we called emergency medical services and requested an ambulance. Only then did they allow him to receive medical care. Imagine receiving medical attention in the parking area of the Judiciary at Milimani Law Courts. Dr. Obwaka had been unlawfully arrested from his clinic and charged on what were fictitious claims, which were later dismissed. Daktari rage in the light, and don’t let those who pushed your to poor health rest.! #RiPDrObwaka

Last month, on 16th when Dr. Obwaka was released after his abductions over Nairobi hospital.
