We beg @AfDB_Group for money and then here we are approving firms that are blacklisted. Honestly it gets to a point whereby you wonder why do we keep getting any form of support as a country
A Chinese firm, Weihai Construction Group, previously blacklisted by the African Development Bank over fraudulent practices in Kenya, has won a Sh3.2 billion government contract. The contract will see the firm upgrade three roads in Busia County to bitumen standards.

After their oil tankers in the Red Sea were hit and control over the strategic Bab al-Mandeb Strait lost, Saudi Arabia approached Ansarallah to ask what it would take for a negotiated settlement to be made, according to the Wall Street Journal. The Houthis response was $51 Billion USD, which they said would be needed cover the cost of over a decade of Saudi strikes and blockade. They also reportedly demanded that Saudi Arabia recognise Ansarallah as the legitimate rulers of Yemen, "for good measure".

Open to global air traffic the other 3 can't even take an international flight. Yani the whole country is configured like a Manyatta, with only one door and 1 window. Shida ikitokea JKIA, hakuna mtu anatoka. We are incredibly shortsighted sometimes.

I keep complaining about our hyperfocus on JKIA and nothing highlights this better than this story. We have 5 international airports. Of these five, only 2 are 24 hour operations the rest close down by 8:30. Of the 2 that are 24 hour ops, only 1 is fully theeastafrican.co.ke/tea/bus…

Don't forget policy... POLICY... the Dems ran on policy and won in states they haven't in decades.
Hope isn't a strategy. The Opposition have not only to Unite, but do relentless campaigns across the country over the next 10 months, plus offer us serious candidates across the various seats

Nandi County minority team has issued a response
This is Truphosa Kutto an MCA from Kemeloi Maraba in Nandi County. Making such harmful remarks in the gesture of trying to wie votes for President William Ruto. Where should the President's supporters in Hamisi, Nyanza, Central, and any other part of the country relocate to?

This is called NdiiCONomics. When you securitise the levy it means that the money cannot be used for its rightful purpose which is road maintenance. So to maintain roads you need to introduce another levy. Nonsense on stilts
Kenya's government is planning to introduce a separate road maintenance levy, on top of the existing fuel levy. The new levy is intended to help fund road repairs and maintenance as the growing use of electric vehicles reduces revenue collected from fuel sales.

A ban on anyone who has worked at WB/IMF from CBK/Treasury/ National Economic and Social Council will be necessary for the future of this country.

Trump spent year one rattling economic sabres against friend and foe. Year two, he lit a shooting war, sent oil prices skyward, and gave himself the perfect pretext to pull the economic uncertainty trigger whenever he pleases. Quite the powder keg to blow up the mid-terms.

Only way Trump goes out on a high is doing a JCPOA with Iran.
What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate.

Really? Is there actual GoK data to show how many EVs are registered and how much they've impacted fuel consumption? This may very well be a simple issue of fuel being too expensive hence impacting consumption. I mean traffic on the roads isn't what it used to be.

There's no correlation between Kenyan and US politics, at all. No indicators, nothing to be learned.

There is no exact copy paste for Kenya and the US save for the parallels of evident corruption by the leadership. For us it will need serious groundwork and less dick-measuring by various opposition factions.

Gimme three months and his golf buddies in Florida wouldn’t even vote for him. I’ll smoke him by 7. Bet on it.
🚨BREAKING: Republicans' odds to flipping the Michigan US Senate seat JUMP OVERNIGHT. Michigan - 2026 US Senate 🟥Mike Rogers 44.3% (+3.7) 🟦Abdul El-Sayed 40.6% Polling average via Pollsmax.com. Abdul El-Sayed has become the Democratic frontrunner, and compared to his primary opponents—Mallory McMorrow and Haley Stevens—he performs by far the worst against Mike Rogers. If El-Sayed ends up being the nominee, Republicans will be the heavy favorites to flip Michigan's US Senate seat later this year.
