What would it cost the government? @OkadiaFiona challenges the KSh 35 billion revenue-loss estimate, arguing that the assumptions behind these figures need closer scrutiny.

Ababu Namwamba might have been the best Sports CS we have had under this regime.
There was something about how quickly he moved to address certain football issues, particularly those involving management wrangles. He was hands-on and seemed willing to get into the trenches when the situation demanded it.
He was also instrumental in Kenyaโs AFCON 2027 bid and had spoken about Nairobiโs ambition to host the 2029 World Athletics Championships long before the formal bid was eventually submitted.
Looking back, perhaps we did not appreciate his time in the Sports docket enough.

Current debt stock: KSh 12.96 trillion
๐น 70% of GDP
๐น ~KSh 237,000 per capita
This has sharply driven up debt servicing costs โ now at KSh 2.3 trillion, or 75% of ordinary tax revenue.
๐ Per the Auditor General (FY2024/25): a key driver is growing reliance on expensive domestic debt.
๐ Per Treasury's MTDS 2026: domestic debt costs substantially more than external debt.

Victor Wanyama has retired from football. He had 8 goals in the 64 games he played for Harambee Stars.
Id want to speak to players in the Kenyan Premier League and those aspiring footballers with hopes that they'd make it in this sphere.
Those who have had the privilege of talking/working with Victor will tell you that he was a funny human but, most importantly, one who was dedicated to his craft. Shy human in front of a crowd but a workaholic away from the cameras. He might not have been talented as some of his peers, but he hated distractions that came with the craft. This is the place that any aspiring footballer should be drawing his/her inspiration from.
Playing in the top five European Leagues isn't for everyone, and to me, he remains the best footballer we ever exported to Europe.

#UnpopularOpinion: @Seb_Desabre is a very good coach who deserves all the success in his game. Well done with @FecofaRdc and the Leopards but would he take @UgandaCranes to the @FIFAWorldCup this year? I don't think so. The quality and level of players in the DR Congo team is superior to the one we have. Imagine, @fistonmayele9 warms the bench, he would be our star here.
MPs are now warning: SHA is unsustainable. What does this mean for Kenyaโs health financing future?
The National Assembly Health Committee says revenue is barely matching costs, with low compliance and funding gaps threatening the systemโs survival. @ntvkenya @j2mutua @IEAKwame
