I knew my mentors wouldn't watch that thingπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ’―,, like,,, why is everyone invested in watching a script that depicts women as dumb! 🀧🀧 I mean, women are doing great things in big '26 and you are still watching series' about being dumb in love πŸ‘€, marriages and dickmatization?!
Baddies hunifurahisha sanaa πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜….. I don't even understand why they pay for Netflix because it's the worst app to find a sensible movie but that aside,, huwa wananibamba vile they'll hype a movie alafu ukienda upate ni shida za mapenzi na movie zinakaa za Nigeria.. Sasa saai watatumaliza na story za polygamist anga doe na I can bet on my life there's nothing special about that one. πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…

The economy is not what government officials say it is. The economy is what ordinary people experience every day.

The more Uhuru 'developed' Kenya after Kibaki, the more we sank into debt, & people had less disposable income. The more Ruto 'develops' Kenya, the more we sink into the abyss as a nation of taxes, goons, abductions, and scandals. I'm tired of 'development,' aren't you?

That budget was not written for SMEs, content creators, influencers, fintech entrepreneurs, farmers, manufacturers or ordinary hustlers trying to build something honest. It was a warning shot. The full force of KRA is coming, because that budget deficit is not a joke. The government must raise money from somewhere, and instead of cutting waste, stopping corruption and reducing reckless spending, they will come for the people already struggling to survive. Look at the sectors that received the biggest allocations and you will understand the game. Money has been directed to areas where looting can happen easily, while those who create jobs, pay taxes, produce goods and keep the economy alive are being squeezed dry. They will loot from the top as they bleed the bottom. This is not just bad economics. It is cruelty dressed as fiscal policy. Ruto and this government have made it clear that the ordinary Kenyan is nothing more than a revenue target.

This is such a kick in the teeth. Here's what 4.5 billion shillings could have done instead.
State House spent Sh4.5 billion outside its approved budget in the first nine months of FY2025/26, according to the Controller of Budget. This is one of the highest cases of unplanned government spending in the period.

Auditor General Nancy Gathungu revealed losses included KSh547 million for expired cancer medicines, pharmaceuticals, and medical supplies and another KSh367.4 million that KEMSA had hidden from its books entirely. They didn't just let medicines expire. They hid the expired medicines from the audit. That is deliberate concealment of public loss.

More Kenyans have died in Ruto's quest to lick Trump's boots by setting up the Ebola facility than Americans have died from Ebola. Sad. Africans would gladly kill their own just to save white people from the slightest inconvenience. Ruto must go.
