We're basically about to mandate ID usage for anybody who wants to use the internet in Kenya and all but kill your ability to be anonymous online..
Kenya proposes a new Bill that would require children below 18 to obtain parental consent before accessing social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, X and TikTok. The platforms would also be required to verify users' ages and restrict access to harmful online content.

Today Lato milk kwa wingi, “take 5 packets maximum” sign is no more. Looks like affordable housing laborers don’t like Lato?

The government really messed with the wrong one 😂😂😂
Had a chat with Raila Odinga Jr yesterday. Full chat at end of video. RAILA’S LEGACY DESERVES MORE THAN ANOTHER DEAL WITH RUTO. Raila Odinga helped win multiparty democracy and the 2010 Constitution. His 7 March 2025 pact with @WilliamsRuto promised action against corruption, a debt audit, protest rights and an end to abductions. @Railajunior backs Ruto’s re-election. Here is the record. • IPOA says 65 people died across four June–July 2025 protests. • Amnesty estimates at least 128 deaths and over 83 enforced disappearances across the June 2024–July 2025 protests. • Amnesty Kenya’s 30 August 2026 statement cites Missing Voices data recording 69 police killings and 19 enforced disappearances in 2026 so far. These figures overlap and cover different periods. • Kenya’s Corruption Perceptions Index fell from 32/100 in 2024 to 30/100 in 2025. Lower means worse. • The World Bank estimates corruption and collusion add about 2% of GDP to annual deficits. At 2025 GDP, that is roughly KSh352 BILLION. What does that mean for a Kenyan household? That sum equals either of these • About KSh6,500 for EVERY Kenyan — KSh26,000 for a family of four. OR • A full year of grants for public primary, junior and day secondary schools, PLUS about 64% of the annual public teacher pay and health insurance budget. Compensation payments have begun. Families also deserve the truth, missing relatives accounted for and criminal accountability. ODM’s leaders are negotiating power and campaign arrangements with Ruto for 2027. Where are the results for citizens? Junior told me, “Just remember you are a foreigner.” My nationality answers none of these questions. Ethnic favoritism in public jobs and contracts is a route to corruption. Enforce merit and accountability now. Raila’s democratic legacy should be visible in the lives and freedoms of ordinary Kenyans. Show the results. Power corrupts. Power to the people’s government. Abolish the cartel.

Guess who won the PA tender to supply KPLC with diesel for the remote power power plants now. Haha
In July the power plant in Faza island was supplied diesel at kes 400 compared to regular price of kes 220.

Give Ross Douthat a Pulitzer for this line alone.
In an interview airing Sunday on 60 Minutes, correspondent Ross Douthat asks President Trump: If it took six months of not insulting the Democrats to get a deal done, do you think you could do it?

If Kenya Railways can build tracks from Nyayo-Talanta,why can't they also build it from town A to town B without involving the Chinese? Railway building clearly isn't rocket science.
The future of connectivity is unfolding right before our eyes. Nyayo–Talanta link taking shape.

You honestly cannot convince me that being from the same tribe as your presidential candidate is the most important thing. Because it is not! H. E Sifuna speaking to Kikuyus lawyers and reminding them that they were the first to vote for him in his first elected position in LSK. He also goes on to tell them to help us explain to people our manifesto of constitutionalism and Rule of law because they are the ones who understand it best. Skiza, Sifuna connects with this people on a deep level since they speak the same language. The language is not tribe, it's law. Hio mambo ya kingpin, sielewe. My name is Muthoni and my Presidential candidate is Sifuna and I belong to LMM
