JOINT STATEMENT: 9 people, including former Chief Justice David Maraga, were arrested today for peacefully defending Nairobi National Park. We condemn the violent dispersal of environmental defenders, students, and human rights activists exercising their constitutional rights. We demand the immediate release of those arrested and the protection of the rights to peaceful assembly, expression, and environmental justice.

For those who have been wondering what is a FOIA request that we used to get some information from @_shakenya about their Algorithm/ AI system's parameters/ indicators.

Join the newsroom this evening on: x.com/i/spaces/1PKqrEXDyAwGb

x.com/i/spaces/1PKqrEXDyAwGb… We shall be giving more insights about #ErrorByDesign for the next 1.5 hours. Tune in

A lot has happened since @LHreports @AfUncensored published our #ErrorbyDesign investigation. SHA published a non-response response, we wrote back, government officials attacked our reporting. Join us for an X Space where we unpack our reporting and its aftermath.

SHA's AI model was designed with a known flaw: It systematically overcharges the poorest Kenyans while undercharging the wealthiest. Tomorrow, we open the newsroom to hear how this has played out in real life. Join @MoigeWilliam with @joy_kirigia, @MukamiPurity, and @gabriels_geiger on the Newsroom X Space. This is your space. Come with your story. 🔗 x.com/i/spaces/1PKqrEXDyAwGb… #SHA #HealthcareKenya #JoinTheNewsroom

Using access to info requests & public data @MukamiPurity & @gabriels_geiger describe the journey of investigating Kenya's SHA, uncovering the deadly flaws of an algorithm that hurts the people it aims to serve. By @LHreports, @guardian, & @AfUncensored. twp.ai/4hqzD7

In Kenya 'dirty money' does not always hide. Sometimes it just buys a car. @elsakariuki examines how Kenya's second-hand vehicle market became one of the most convenient and least regulated channels for laundering illicit funds, on the latest edition of The Signal Newsletter.

Tbh we will miss you on this other side @tom_mukhwana . At the same time, so happy for you to be landing your dream job. So glad to have seen your curve and to have met the brilliant you.

The #Education Budget is out for FY 2026/27. My read reveals notable increases to the sector's budget amid significant #cuts to free primary education, university budgets (big ones) and school feeding. On the flip side bursaries are set for a good bump. Let's get into it👇

AI-driven Social Health Authority (SHA) was sold to us as a revolution in healthcare financing. However, the algorithm overcharges the poorest Kenyans while undercharging the wealthy. A single mother earning Ksh 3,500/month is now billed Ksh 1,030 for health cover. That is digital poverty extraction. At the same time, yesterday’s Daily Nation cover story on the politics of motherhood reminds us that women, especially poor and working-class mothers, already carry the invisible burden of sustaining families, communities and the economy through unpaid care work, sacrifice and survival. Yet instead of easing that burden, the system is now digitising it. A mother struggling to put food on the table is reduced to an affordability score by an opaque algorithm that cannot measure exhaustion, caregiving, vulnerability or survival. Many reports flagged this system as flawed and inequitable before it was even launched. The Government chose to proceed anyway. Today, only 5 million of 22 million registered members pay regularly and Kenyans are dying because they cannot afford to walk into a facility. Technology should serve human dignity. This one entrenches inequality and calls it algorithmic neutrality. The poor are not data points. They are Kenyans who deserve better healthcare.

Kenya’s #health budget is set to rise sharply this year, but the story behind the numbers is intriguing. I dug into the latest #budget books to briefly analyze sector allocations the against the background of a shifting health financing landscape. Here's what I found 👇

While here, I also noticed that the primary health care fund - which funds @_shakenya - is being straight up cut by Kes 4 billion or 17%. Also notable is the obliteration of the Insurance Subsidy Program for Orphans Vulnerable Children. Possibly being reconfigured under SHA? 🤷

#ErrorByDesign, produced by @AfUncensored’s @joy_kirigia and @MukamiPurity, in collaboration with @LHreports and @guardian, investigates how Kenya's Social Health Authority (SHA) AI algorithm is overcharging the poorest while undercharging the richest. twp.ai/4hpko4
