LEO WAMEPATIKANA. Beware of these vehicle operating along Nku Nbi highway. They look for parked vehicles (in this case, Rubis Kikopey) park next to your vehicle, creating a blind spot on the left side, then disconnect a wire on the starter which is accessible on the left front wheel. They wait for you to start the vehicle, come to offer you assistance. They are equipped with jumpers cables, battery meter and tools. You'll end up paying for a problem they created.

We are at a pivotal moment in our nation's history, and the call to serve has never been more urgent. After careful consideration and consultations with trusted advisors, community leaders, and citizens from all walks of life, I am pleased to announce the formation of a Presidential Exploratory Committee. This committee will thoroughly assess the viability of my candidacy for the 2027 presidential election. Its primary focus will be to engage with the public, gather input on the most pressing challenges facing our nation, and determine how best to address these issues with bold and innovative leadership. The road ahead requires thoughtful preparation, and this exploratory phase is a crucial step in ensuring that our vision for the future aligns with the hopes and aspirations of Kenyans. I am committed to listening, learning, and building a platform that reflects the values and priorities of our citizens. Together, we can shape a brighter future. Thank you for your support as we embark on this journey.

.@hellen_obiri trained only for 6 weeks after an injury from Boston. She fell today twice. Missed the water. She threw up but still fought. "This bronze is like gold for me. It's been tough after Boston, short training but I kept telling myself I am the best. " #Paris2024

Many Kenyan politicians proudly show off their luxury lifestyles, but with the cost-of-living crisis and the deadly anti-tax protests, young Kenyans see the flashy habits of officials as unacceptable.

Never applaud someone who is dismantling his own mistakes. Only do after he corrects them.

3 minors have fainted in court while proceedings are ongoing, with one foaming in the mouth. The people arrested yesterday were not fed by the police or allowed to receive food. Many thanks to the court through Hon. Wandia, as the judiciary has offered to get milk for them

After some noise was made, his terms have been reduced from a bond of KES 10M to a bond of KES 150,000 with one surety. Alternatively, he has also been given a cash bail option of KES 200,000. Always make noise.
Items are worth KES 37M Bond is worth KES 10M
