Maandamano (peaceful) is the only language regimes understand otherwise M.Ps will be persuaded "one way or the other" to pass this draconian Finance Bill with budgeted corruption; Education, Health Ministries and State House. Corruption will continue unabated..

….someone should introduce him to three keywords…. Cost Benefit Analysis… The public is the one paying his bills and the benefits (if any) do not trickle down to the citizen…

The Kenyan “Chief Diplomat” flew to Norway in his kshs 5 million per hour jet, spent another kshs 300 million in accommodation, to find 120 ship cooking and cleaning jobs for Kenyans. Somehow the slow learners kwa Ikulu believe this some excellent achievement.

🚨 GOONS CANNOT SILENCE THE PEOPLE'S VOICE We strongly condemn the violent disruption of the Post-Budget Forum at All Saints Cathedral, a peaceful gathering that brought together citizens, civil society, faith leaders, and private sector actors to discuss the national budget and its impact on ordinary Kenyans. The use of violence and intimidation to silence public participation is an attack on democracy and the constitutional rights of all Kenyans. This is not an isolated incident. The growing use of goons to disrupt lawful civic engagement and instill fear must be rejected by all who believe in democracy, accountability, and the rule of law. No amount of intimidation will stop citizens from engaging in conversations about the future of our country. #DefendDemocracy #ProtectCivicSpace #PublicParticipation #PeoplesBudget #Kenya

Earlier today, state-hired goons stormed a Post-Budget Dialogue Forum at All Saints Cathedral, Nairobi, @allsaintsnrb where Transparency International Kenya and other Civil Society Organisations gathered to discuss the 2026-2027 budget presented yesterday. The meeting sought to assess how well the budget addressed citizen concerns. One of the assailants was arrested, upon which he stated that a government official had sent them. The goons stole some valuables, including a phone, during the incident. We condemn this act of intimidation and assert that it will not deter us from scrutinising the budget. We will continue to demand that the interests of the people of Kenya be at the forefront. #KenyaBudget #DefendDemocracy #ProtectCivicSpace #PublicParticipation #PeoplesBudget #Kenya

@Defenders Coalition 🇰🇪
On behalf of Kenya’s civil society and human rights defenders’ community, the Defenders Coalition is deeply concerned by the persistent, coordinated attacks against HRDs, civil society organizations, and their staff by armed, unidentified groups with the most recent incident meted on a meeting by @thekhrc, @TISAKenya and @TIKenya. Given the current precarious state of human rights in Kenya, we urge all citizens, the government, and international partners to demand the protection of human rights and frontline defenders especially in the lead up to the 2027 general elections. @UN @OHCHRKENYA @achpr_cadhp @AndreaBV_SR_HRD @UN_HRC READ FULL STATEMENT HERE defenderscoalition.org/press-release/…

…the people must be listened to… this budget does not include the voice of the people….
KHRC@thekhrc

This is the message @JohnMbadiN did not want to get out. But guess what? It’s bigger and louder. Mbadi’s budget did not prioritise the people. Mbadi must resign or be forced out for sending goons to attack Kenyans who were scrutinising his budget. He must face the law, too.

The images and clips coming from Europe/UK and America tell a story that African and Asian politicians should be forced to watch on repeat. Their citizens being humiliated and being turned away. Being reduced to statistics in someone else's immigration debate. Choosing to endure that rather than return home. That is not a migration crisis. That is a report card. And it is failing. When your people prefer the uncertainty of a foreign country that does not want them over the certainty of a home that has failed them, you have answered the most important question about your leadership without being asked. The rise of the far right in Europe and America is not just a Western problem. It is a mirror held up to every African and Asian government that has looted public resources, collapsed institutions, killed opportunity and then watched its brightest and most desperate pack bags and leave. They did not leave because they hate home. They left because home gave them no reason to stay. Fix the economy. Fix the institutions. Fix the corruption. Make home a place worth returning to. Because the alternative is watching your citizens be processed through someone else's hostility while you sit in a comfortable office that their taxes built. That is not just failure. That is shame dressed in a suit and calling itself government. Dismas wa Tabu. Dreaming in installments. Billed in full.

“… the Law Society of Kenya remains firmly on the frontlines to shield Kenyans from predatory fiscal engineering.” LSK President Charles Kanjama
Charles Kanjama SC@ckanjama

As Treasury CS John Mbadi presents a massive KSh 4.8 Trillion budget for the 2026/27 financial year, the Law Society of Kenya stands as a vigilant constitutional watchdog over the Finance Bill and the Appropriation Bill. This election-year budget carries a steep KSh 1.11 Trillion deficit, which is severely disconnected from the crushing cost-of-living realities ordinary Kenyans face. Sourcing nearly 90% of this deficit financing, totaling KSh 997.8 Billion, from domestic borrowing will choke local businesses, starve the private sector of credit, and violate the public finance principles under Article 201 of the Constitution. While we welcome the prioritization of health and education, government spending must be transparent, impactful, and free from administrative wastage. On revenue generation, the LSK questions the constitutional validity of the Finance Bill 2026’s introduction of a "securitisation" framework. Pledging future public revenues, such as the Housing, Road Maintenance, and Railway Development levies, as collateral to bypass the Consolidated Fund creates a dangerous hidden debt mechanism that threatens to bankrupt future state agencies. The LSK will not sit idly by as our national liabilities are understated. We will analyze these proposals in meticulous detail, aggressively engage in public consultation phases, and take swift legal action against any provisions that violate constitutional standards on fairness, equity, or mandatory public participation. The @LawSocietyofKe remains firmly on the frontlines to shield Kenyans from predatory fiscal engineering.

State House Spending Spree: The Controller of Budget has exposed a disturbing pattern of reckless public spending, revealing that State House consumed KSh 2.5 billion in unauthorized expenditure within just six weeks. According to the report, State House spent up to KSh 4.45 billion outside its approved budget, raising serious questions about fiscal discipline, accountability, and respect for public finance laws. Even more alarming, the Controller of Budget shows that the government spent KSh 200 billion without proper approval, while the National Treasury used KSh 144 billion to settle part of the public debt. This is not just overspending. It is a governance crisis. When billions can be spent outside approved budgets while ordinary Kenyans are being told to tighten their belts, then the problem is not lack of money — it is lack of accountability.

The State House cannot preach austerity to suffering Kenyans while indulging in what appears to be a fiscal bacchanalia of unchecked expenditure. According to the Controller of Budget's findings, billions of shillings were spent outside approved budgetary allocations, including KSh 4.45 billion reportedly consumed beyond budget provisions and KSh 2.5 billion in unauthorized expenditure within a matter of weeks. At the same time, ordinary citizens are burdened with punitive taxes, struggling businesses are suffocated by declining purchasing power, and public services remain chronically underfunded. This is the quintessential paradox of the current administration: fiscal discipline for the poor, fiscal extravagance for the political elite. The social contract is irreparably weakened when citizens are asked to tighten their belts while those entrusted with public resources operate with apparent impunity and disregard for budgetary constraints. Every shilling spent outside parliamentary approval is not merely an accounting anomaly but also an affront to transparency, accountability, and constitutional governance.
