In Levin Opiyo's article, he writes about how Tom Mboya and Jaramogi Oginga Odinga would receive huge sums of money from their Western and Eastern donors, that they had to use their friends' bank accounts to secretly channel money in order to hide from colonial intelligence.

Does the law allow the Civilian Intelligence Agency to operate armed units? Return NIS to the Generals

Listening to Mbadi’s breakdown here, you will agree with what I’ve been saying at every opportunity I get - Kenya’s biggest problems begin at Parliament. A House of 349 MPs who are incompetent at their work - Represent, Legislate, Oversight. (Instructive to note that Mbadi was

There is credible evidence linking Burundi’s ruling party militia, the Imbonerakure, to the trafficking of Burundians into Kenya & Tanzania—then extorting or seizing their wages. They operate illegal border checkpoints and detention camps. Wanamugambo move like North Koreans.

This Rice Bill seeking to control milling and trading of rice came through senate last year Sept They tried to introduce a price control bill where the CS could regulate essentials like rice. In May, Mwea farmers were stuck with unsold rice. They have now imported 500,000 tonnes

I was just reading the EAC Common Market Protocols (Article 13, in particular). Jirani gets away with a lot. Art. 13(8) The right of establishment shall be subject to limitations imposed by the host Partner State on grounds of public policy, public security or public health.

African diplomacy often walks a tightrope. Nairobi is hosting an EAC-SADC peace summit on the DRC, just weeks after foreign powers brokered a deal in Washington between Rwanda and DRC. They will champion “African solutions to African problems,” yet quietly seek donor funding

I am not a Liverpool fan but their home shirt for the premier league is so sleek. It's so good🔥

The Kenya digital loans market is interesting. In 2024, Hustler Fund disbursements plunged 93.3% to KSh800M due to defaults. Meanwhile, NCBA disbursed KSh1.0T digitally, a 23% YoY rise.

Expect an Uhuru esque, charm offensive over the next couple of months. Footballer bonuses, youth at Statehouse, cool slogans, joining dancers, eating in kibandas, kissing babies... Until, "Hata Ruto si mbaya, ni wenye wamemzunguka". Critics will look like bitter jilted lovers

Capitalism is not afraid of its critics. It is clever enough to turn them into ornaments. It dresses them up, gives them a stage, and sells their rebellion in neat, attractive packaging. In this way, even the language of resistance becomes a product. In Africa, its loudest

The latest infrastructure bonds received bids worth 323B against an offer of KSh 90B. Liquidity is clearly not a problem. Banks would rather govt securities than burn their fingers lending to the private sector. This is definitely not the signs of an economy that is doing well.

This is a very sober debate that we should be having. Listen to this🎤 #RutoMustGo #DrainTheSwamp

A lot of questions for successive regimes from Kenyatta to Ruto now, but also Amason Kingi as we size up Governor Mung’aro.

Europeans getting the “Africa Summit” treatment, and not liking it.

There is a county that installed these machines, including MRIs circa 2014-15 and sponsored many medics for specialisation only to lose both functionality and staff when the governor changed. What can you do to Africans to institutionalise some measures for eternity?

We consume 1.3 Million metric tonnes of Rice annually but locally produce only 264,000 metric tonnes accounting for 20% of National demand according to AFA. With a deficit of 1.1 Million tonnes & importing 500 K metric tonnes; how will contribute to solve Japan rice problems?

Workouts should be about making the quality of life better and not pushing yourself to the limit. Training like a pro athlete everyday isn’t healthy at all, speaking from living experience because how we athletes sometimes train is performance based and not healthy for the body.

The problem with socialism is that sooner or later, you run out of other people's money

A very interesting watch… The Bible you hold today is not the whole story. While Europe fixed the canon at 66 books, Ethiopia preserved the oldest and most complete version of 81 books. Inside Ethiopia’s Bible are texts the West erased or forgot: the Book of Enoch, the Book of
