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. Watch the full clip for breakdown youtube.com/watch?v=f7aZ2GFPโ€ฆ

Spending a whole weekend waiting for a hatewatch so that you can console yourself about your country missing out on #HSBC3... Only to end up in a failed hatewatch attempt and having to wait another year to play again. Nasty business... Thank you #Morans.

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 Kenyaโ€™s AFCON 2027 bid and had spoken about Nairobiโ€™s 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. @pepeta_ke

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. @pepeta_ke

#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 Kenyaโ€™s health financing future? The National Assembly Health Committee says revenue is barely matching costs, with low compliance and funding gaps threatening the systemโ€™s survival. @ntvkenya @j2mutua @IEAKwame Yet earlier, @IEAKenya flagged the same risks ๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿ“Š A KSh 116B shortfall ๐Ÿ“‰ Low retention rates โš™๏ธ Weak means testing, All pointing to a system under strain. ๐Ÿ“ฅ Read the study: ieakenya.or.ke/download-cateโ€ฆ
