@randomworldke Laws are there to stop bad behaviors. If there’re no consequences for bad behavior, I’m sorry to say any society would descend to chaos. You can’t have a corrupt regulating body and expect order.

This country disgust me. You need development in your brain before infrastructural one 👎😏

@GithuDaktari @rofprayer @lynn_ngugi1 That’s not my point. It’s more like, why it doesn’t happen

@murithitim @rofprayer @lynn_ngugi1 2 wrongs don't make a right

I honestly don’t think we’re ready for this Eastleigh conversation. Few Observations,. You buy something in the majority of those shops and they want cash. If you don’t have cash, they have their own MPesa agents they tell you to withdraw from. They then make a quick call to the agent to confirm the withdrawal before releasing your goods. That way, they never have to explain their cash flow, but you may one day have to explain yours to the taxman. We’re talking about a multi billion shilling industry with very little transparency, accountability or visibility into how money moves. And as long as they remain the middlemen, pay zero tax, sell “counterfeit goods” the government is comfortable But how dare you use the same business model, open your own wholesale operation and bring your own goods through the port?…..

@crunkwiz @denniskioko It terms of population, Nairobi would be in the top 5 biggest cities in Europe. I also don’t get the argument on economic viability, how much does the government earn from Thika Road? Infrastructure is not meant to earn governments money directly. That’s why we pay taxes.

@denniskioko Nairobi has like 5M people. Commuters per day hawawezi keep a railway line and all infrastructure economically viable. Matatu industry pekee iko saturated magari reli structures zitakaa urembo tu ya town

Railways were never invented for their profitability. A commuter rail is the cheapest high density rail you can get. Metros don't come cheap and that's why they are favoured for inner city Germany does Metro - Suburb train - Regional train - Country train

@Chalbiwsk @gitau_griffith It’s not about GDP, it’s about priorities. Having a clean and an orderly town or city has nothing to do with GDP.

@gitau_griffith Indonesia GDP per capita is 5K Kenya is 2K. tread carefully

I wish Nairobi looked like this. I wish every town in Kenya no matter how small looked like this.

@DehMao @gitau_griffith What’s wrong with them? 🤣

@gitau_griffith that will never happen so long as these are the kind of urban planners and professors you have

@GithuDaktari @rofprayer @lynn_ngugi1 Who? KRA isn’t acting on it under Ruto, it never happened under Uhuru either.

@murithitim @rofprayer @lynn_ngugi1 Someone needs the community more

@rofprayer @lynn_ngugi1 But all other tribes get called out, even though they are equally influential economically and politically. The govt never hesitates to disrupt businesses in other regions when they are operating illegally or engaging in exploitative practices. Why not Eastleigh?

@murithitim @lynn_ngugi1 In Kenya, it usually boils down to strategic voting blocs and massive economic investments. Politicians are terrified of losing influential business allies or stoking regional tensions, so they default to silence.

@lynn_ngugi1 The thing I hate about our society is how comfortable we are with impunity. Wrong things just seem normal to us. Those who do wrong are often considered "street-smart," while those who do the right thing are sometimes punished by the system itself.

@rofprayer @lynn_ngugi1 Why is calling out system exploitation by Somalis always politically inconvenient? I never get it. I have seen same thing in Sweden. I can understand the undertones in US and Sweden, but in Kenya?

@lynn_ngugi1 This is exactly why the tax base never expands. The government goes after the low-hanging fruit (salaried employees and registered SMEs) because auditing cash-based, multi-billion shilling cartels is too difficult or politically inconvenient.

@ivymuthe @ChegeKuria_ Only Africans need to justify using the language they’re comfortable with.

For the first time, I am with President Suluhu on this. Why should she be forced to speak their language? Russia uses its own language, so she would need a translator anyway. Shouldn't she speak Swahili instead, forcing them to need a translator too?

@ambroseouma88 @Za_Kimotho 🤣🤣🤣

@Za_Kimotho @murithitim Poverty pattern still intact

Ni place gani ushai Travel hii Kenya hadi ukashangaa kama huko wanakuanga na Leaders??

@Za_Kimotho Past it

@murithitim Wueeh I hope mli break that poverty pattern guza

@DrScipio @Jasiri_D30 End of winter was in March, ama?

@Jasiri_D30 The northern hemisphere requires more energy during winter for heating hence high demand which slightly dips in summer. Krnyans in the replies are making Wandayi look like a genius.

I need you folks to explain this to me because my little knowledge of demand and supply isn't knowing at all!

@Kenyans Just abolish the boarding school system.

The second term is too long and probably has a lot going on. We can change our school calendar to introduce two midterms - Ndindi Nyoro

@clairecesc @Kenyans In the top leading economies corporal punishment is illegal, in school and at home.

@Kenyans We messed up education the day we abolished corporal punishment, period! Discipline collapsed, respect perished, and classrooms turned into playgrounds. What followed was chaos disguised as reform. Tell me where success is achieved without discipline

@kenyanprecariat @moneyacademyKE People who love posting this quote whenever people are enjoying sports, what exactly do you do in life that you believe is superior to sports fans? How miserable do you think sports fans are?

KBC has secured free-to-air broadcast rights for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Mind you there's land at Nchiru for that golf course that no one asked for. There's an international airport in Isiolo 30 minutes away and an airstrip at Gaitu. There's the huge house in Milimani that can be made a State Lodge. But we don't have water in Buuri. Idiot.

Section of Imenti Forest to be cleared for construction of Meru State Lodge, airstrip and golf course

@dnahinga @SteevTheTwit Government spends billions in infrastructure to improve one or two cities and they wonder why everyone is moving there.

What I see is that first they make a prophecy and now they impoverish the village to make sure the prophecy is fulfilled. The motivation behind 60% of Africans living in Cities is questionable. We need to do the reverse prophecy and equally simulate conditions for a good village life. Thank you.

Every statistic predicting that X% of Africans will live in cities by year Y hides another question: What percentage of Africans can access opportunity without leaving home? A man leaving a functioning homestead in Bungoma to live like rubbish in a sheet-metal structure in Kawangware is not automatically evidence of progress. Can modern prosperity be decentralized? Some estimate that 60 to 70% of Nairobi residents live in slums and informal settlements.
