Some of these are 'ALLOWED'! There'sa General Election on Tuesday 10th August 2027. Some don't want it, at all. So? Create a situation to warrant declaration of a State of Emergency, postpone election by 2 years to 2029, have election with Referrandum to remove 5-year Term Limit
There is a disturbing video circulating showing an encounter between Al-Shabaab militants and Kenyan security officers along the Mandera–Raba–Lafey Road, following an ambush on a road construction convoy that left eight people dead. Among the victims are five engineers and two police reservists, according to reports. This is deeply unfortunate. It is worrying that Al-Shabaab militants continue to threaten lives and disrupt development projects while putting the lives of our security officers and innocent civilians at risk. This attack is a painful reminder that the fight against terrorism is far from over. Security agencies must strengthen intelligence gathering, enhance security operations and protect communities in vulnerable areas. Behind these tragic headlines are grieving families, lost livelihoods and a community left in fear. Kenya must not surrender its peace to terrorism. Our thoughts and prayers are with the affected families and all security officers risking their lives to protect the country.

The judge noted that evidence suggested Abshir was in the custody of police before he vanished, meaning security agencies cannot evade accountability simply by claiming they are not holding him. Justice Muteti ruled that law enforcement and security agencies have a case to answer in the advocate’s disappearance.

Thank You! 🙏
Do you remember baby Travis, who couldn’t get emergency medical attention at KNH because his mother could not raise Kshs. 20,000 deposit? This bill is FOR him and families like his. The Health Amendment Bill makes it mandatory ( with fine of up to Kshs. 3,000,000 ) to offer critical medical care without demanding for monetary deposit!

What is most disturbing is the level of denial. How can anyone look at the suffering, abuses and failures under this administration and still pretend everything is normal? A government must never be allowed to escape accountability for the harm it inflicts on its own people. Every violation, every abuse of power and every injustice must be documented, investigated and answered for. Those responsible must face the consequences through the law. Power is temporary. Public office is not immunity. This regime must be held accountable for its record. Kenyans deserve justice, not excuses.

Steve Masha, a coms graduate of Kenyatta University whose father was murdered by people well known to the family, spent the night on the floor in the corridors of the Malindi Police Sub-County Hqs, where he had gone to see the DCIO who had requested to see him about the case following Masha's complaints about lack of progress in the investigation and prosecution. The DCIO later refused to answer his questions, particularly why all the accused, save for one fallguy, have not been charged, says Masha. This made him refuse to leave the premises till he gets answers. There are still none, so he remains put. Masha's father was killed in 2022 by a rowdy gang that claimed he had bewitched a neighbor, a common claim in the coast against elderly people by people who target their lands. Only one person out of several identified by the family, who witnessed the killing, has been charged. @DCI_Kenya @ODPP_KE @citizentvkenya @NationAfrica @StandardKenya @AfUncensored @DefendersKE @VOCALAfrica_ @MUHURIkenya
Hey @DCI_Kenya, enough of these games and pranks you play Steve Masha Kitsao, with his disability, seeking justice over his father's murder by people well connected to your Malindi office that you're covering for. The murderers, all of them at large, save for the accused fall guy must be brought to book!

A Meru son, Kevin Mugambi Gitari, is serving 3 years in a Saudi jail for transporting alcohol that wasn’t his. He was a junior staffer at the Kenyan Embassy in Riyadh. On 16 June 2026, diplomats Linah Lumidi and Charles Oure bought the alcohol (allowed only for diplomats). They handed it to Kevin to transport in his car. When Saudi authorities asked the ambassador to confirm this, he refused. Kevin took the full fall. There are receipts, CCTV of the handover, and a voice recording of the diplomats admitting to Kevin’s wife that the alcohol belonged to them. Yet nothing has been done. Why did the ambassador refuse to protect his own staff? Why is a junior employee carrying the cross for diplomats? Where is the PS for Diaspora Affairs while a Kenyan sits in a Saudi prison for someone else’s drink? #JusticeforKevin

Thank you @Hon_Njeri_Maina for stewardship on this Bill, Which among other provisions gives effect to Article 43 (2) of the Constitution Constitution of Kenya 2010: "(2) A person shall not be denied emergency medical treatment" This is the true definition of REPRESENTATION! 🙏
The National Assembly has passed the Health (Amendment) Bill, 2024, sponsored by Kirinyaga Woman Rep Jane Njeri Maina, seeking to stop hospitals and mortuaries from detaining patients or withholding bodies over unpaid medical bills. Approved during its Third Reading on Wednesday, November 11, the Bill also seeks to guarantee emergency medical treatment regardless of a patient's ability to pay. If enacted, the law would bar public and private hospitals, mortuaries and other healthcare facilities from holding patients or human remains over outstanding medical bills.

Clinton was arrested on Saturday morning around 8am. He was taken to Kwandege Police Station and booked there, then later taken to Juja Police Station but he was not booked. After that, he was taken from there and we don't know where he was taken to. The live location he had shared was disconnected, and the messages he had shared were deleted.

Nine days since the abduction and enforced disappearance of Advocate Abshir. Nine days too long without answers, accountability or justice. The continued disappearance of Advocate Abshir raises serious concerns about the safety of citizens and the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms. We call for his immediate release, full accountability and an end to enforced disappearances in Kenya. @LawSocietyofKe @ealawsociety @AmnestyKenya @IMLU_org #FreeAbshir

Its more than 24 hours since the death of 5 engineers, 2 Kenya Police Reservists (KPRs) and a driver in a suspected militia attack along the Mandera–Arabia Road. Interior CS is still scrolling pornhub, Police IG,DIG, ATPU,DCI and NIS are busy abducting activists and advocates. There is no country here.

Advocate Abshir Abdi was abducted in broad daylight by armed goons who call themselves ATPU headed by Said Kiprotich, the same man who abducted me from my house at dawn on February 2, 2018. Mr. Abdi must be released immediately or produced in court. There is absolutely no justification for abducting a Kenyan and detaining him incommunicado. If the state has evidence of any alleged crimes, it wouldn’t be pretending that it doesn’t know Abdi’s whereabouts. Mr. @WilliamsRuto, @kipmurkomen, Raymond Omolo and mandarins at the @PoliceKE must understand that no one is above the law. #ReleaseAbshirAbdi
