@AfUncensored Cutting salaries might save the taxpayer some money in the short term, but without structural reforms and legal consequences, it’s unlikely to stop a politician determined to misuse their office.

The demand to slash politicians' pay is a loud and recurring theme in Kenyan public discourse. Many believe that stripping political office of its massive financial perks is the only way to attract leaders driven by service rather than greed. But is the formal paycheck really the heart of the problem? Read the full article by @elsakariuki and subscribe to our Substack on: bit.ly/will_cutting_s…

@TheStarKenya In Africa, hunger is a man made problem.

The global hunger crisis continues to deepen, with millions of people facing acute food insecurity across the world. Recent data shows that about 265.7 million people were affected in 2025, reflecting a sustained rise over the past decade. #starinfographics

@Kenyans The three; Id, Jr and Win will sing any song for the "master" as long as they protect their energy company...the "master" has them by the balls. Hio sio molasses watawachilia Tu hivo...generational wealth hiyo.

We, the people of Kibra, are grateful to you, President Ruto and we will support you - Raila Odinga Jr

@AlinurMohamed_ The contract for speed boats was given to "Omash One hours" this time, tulieni zinakam...

It is raining cats and dogs and our city has changed to Lake Nairobi. SAKAJA has really failed Nairobians.

@StandardKenya He is the President of Kenya not just some parts, whether liked in Mt Kenya or not, develop it, its part of Kenya. Same applies to Trans Nzoia county, liked or not, develop it. Disburse funds!

@Dr_AustinOmondi "Sheenziii" is Fat and mean and has money and multiple wives!??

You can’t be broke and arrogant. The same way you can’t be fat and mean.

@edgarwabwire_ Nothing, he'll still be DP. (puppet). Riggy G will get his 4 years or so salary and if in his favor, he can vie. (biggest win for him, not even the salary)

If the court declares the Rigathi Gachagua’s impeachment unconstitutional what happens to Kithure Kindiki?

Poverty can be very dehumanizing.

@Dr_AustinOmondi The more friendly the politicians look to each other, the more the common mwananchi needs to watch their pockets.

@ivymuthe Dont fall for such theatrics, non of those"top 10" make money from Forex.

Kenyans Left Shocked as 'Kenyan Prince' Ranks 10th Among the Country’s Top Forex Traders, Proving Market Results Speak Louder Than Online Hype.

@Malone1k The "Ruto-Gachagua" political partnership is effectively dissolved regardless of what the courts decide. The most he might get is his whole salary of the 4 years or so he was supposed to be DP...and yes, if in his favor, he can vie.

In case Rigathi Gachagua impeachment ruling is overturned by HighCourt, will he resume the office and continue working with William Ruto?

While at it, Kenta is waiting for Ksh 96.9 Billion. This money goes directly into the National Treasury to fund government "operations", salaries and debts,(majorly corruption) which won't benefit mwananchi, but missing it will lead to aggressive tax enforcement which directly affects common mwananchi. Tuko pabaya bwana...

IMPORTANT ALERT! COMING UP TOMORROW, TUESDAY 28TH APRIL 2026, MILIMANI HIGH COURT, NAIROBI. HCCHRPET E216 OF 2025 - ODIOUS DEBT PETITION LODGED BY SENATOR OKIYA OMTATAH AND OTHERS A:KEY FEATURES 1.A landmark constitutional petition challenging Kenya’s public debt as “ODIOUS,” Unconstitutional borrowing of trillions without parliamentary approval, 2.Misuse of Eurobond proceeds 3.Violations of the Public Finance Management Act 4.The IMF applied to be removed from the matter as respondent on grounds of diplomatic immunity. At the same time, the institution did some investigations and presented the Government of Kenya with a report demanding information/explanation of ‘HIDDEN’ and/or ODIOUS Debts. IMF has suspended negotiations based on the report. B:RELIEFS SOUGHT 1.DECLARATION OF INVALIDITY: Court to declare unconstitutional loans “odious” and unenforceable. 2.PERSONAL LIABILITY: Hold responsible officials personally accountable for repayment. 3.INJUNCTIONS: Stop the Executive from incurring new debts without parliamentary approval and prohibit repayment of existing unconstitutional loans. C:IMPLICATIONS 1.PUBLIC INTEREST CASE: Directly affects Kenya’s taxpayers and future generations. 2.SAFEGUARDING KENYA’S NATIONAL INTEREST AND SOVEREIGNTY: Challenges unconstitutional borrowing that undermines fiscal integrity and seeks to protect Kenyan citizens from repaying illegitimate debts. It defends Kenya’s right to self-determination in economic governance and shields future generations from exploitative debt burdens. 3.DEBT ACCOUNTABILITY: Could set precedent for invalidating debts incurred unconstitutionally. 4.GLOBAL IMPLICATIONS: Challenges IMF and international predatory lenders’ complicity in financing unconstitutional and corruption debt. #DeniBandia #ReKe #DrainTheSwamp

Tuko pabaya bwana...

Kenya cannot continue down a path of opaque borrowing and rising debt distress. Leadership must be held accountable but more importantly, the next administration must commit to full transparency in public finance, strict borrowing limits, and independent audits of all existing debt. The priority is not just changing leaders, but changing the system: ending waste, prosecuting corruption, and ensuring every shilling borrowed delivers measurable public value.

@MwangiHub the removal of Riggy G was a "political solution" to their systemic problem. Soprano installation was the political "solution" to their master. Removing Peter to install Paul wouldnt help, rather uprooting the whole system. (Mr. Liar)

Taking Gachagua out of office did not change the reality of our problems then, nor has it improved our situation now.

@georgediano There is a social pressure to appear unbothered or "detached," which prevents teens from expressing genuine needs, leading to resentment.

Teenage relationships are becoming toxic nowadays. Consolata Githinji, a 22-year-old student at Murang’a University pursuing a diploma in Health Records, allegedly fell from the sixth floor of an apartment in Kileleshwa (Kaisa Gardens), where she had booked an Airbnb. She was in the company of a man identified as Tony Odhiambo, 33 years old believed to be her boyfriend. But there's no way a 33 year old man doesn't have a place of his own, chances are the man is married. CCTV footage shows the two checking in together at around 4:15 a.m. Later, a disturbance was observed inside the room, prompting a security guard to respond, though he left shortly after. Moments later, Consolata fell from the balcony and died on the spot. Police have since arrested Tony Odhiambo as investigations intensify. This incident of young girls dying under unclear circumstances in Airbnb has become rampant. Let parents thoroughly advise on the issue openly for future protection of our girls. It's her family now left in pain while she is lying waiting to be buried. Sometimes before you engage in some actions be careful about the trauma you expose your family into. Anyway may God strengthen her family during this trying moment.

@Kibet_bull The 15% is a credible statistic reflecting the burden Meru places on the national referral system, but it also highlights the urgent need for decentralized cancer care centers across Kenya to reduce the need for families to travel all the way to Nairobi.

Someone just said that 15 percent of Cancer patients in Kenyatta hospital are from Meru county. I wonder

Supporter 7: courage to make unpopular economic decisions and focus on housing. Critic 2 or 3: high cost of living, the suppression of protests, and increased taxes. Neutral 5, acknowledging he inherited a "difficult economy" but his solutions have significant pain for the average Kenyan.

On a scale of 1-10 rate president Ruto's work

@ArapTilingi It'll simply show and mean ODM is dead to the country, a MEGA puzzle this one...(It's dead though)

If Junet wants to survive he should ditch ODM and run on UDA.

@DrJuma_M Technically possible Politically impossible. MPs aren't "clever" in the sense of moral bravery. Unless there is a massive, sustained uprising that threatens their immediate re-election, they will not move against a President who still controls the Treasury and the party symbols.

if the current breed of MPs were clever,they would impeach Ruto right now at his Lowest and save their face.
