Hii nchi inachosha . Even cold medication for kids, parents are usually afraid of the expensive meds finishing quickly, so they try to stretch it. People are even living with pain because good NSAIDs are expensive - or taking the mara mojas killing our kidneys. Hate it!
Antoney Kibagendi: Cancer patients are choosing between travelling to Nairobi for their radiotherapy and buying food. Patients are even rationing their medicine just to be able to buy groceries.
Gituku: Who told you that?
Antoney Kibagendi: We have witnesses. We were going through hospitals the past 2 weeks. We were in Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Hospital, Moi Teaching and Referral hospital and Kenyatta hospital #CitizenDayBreak
Bruuuuh 😭 I don't know if this economy will ever recover from Finance Bill 2023
Illicit cigarettes now make up almost HALF of Kenya's market, according to the latest figures from Kantar.
The black market is winning while legitimate business loses ground.
Kenya can't and shouldn’t tax its way out of this.

🚨An unusual incident unfolded at Arlington National Cemetery today following the Veterans Day ceremony.
A U.S. Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier publicly reprimanded Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, his wife Jennifer, and members of his entourage after some in the group were seen talking and laughing while taking photographs near the sacred memorial.
Stopping his patrol and turning toward the group, the soldier shouted:
"All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times!"
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is one of America's most sacred military memorials, and its sentinels enforce the same standards of respect for everyone, regardless of rank or position.

- Penalty unfairly awarded against us vs Forest. 2 points dropped.
- Gravenberch wrongly sent off vs City. 3 points dropped.
- Clear penalty denied vs Arsenal. 3 points dropped.
- Penalty unfairly awarded against us vs Palace.
10 games in and PGMOL have already robbed us of 8 points.
How are we meant to compete?
Liverpool should have been awarded a penalty against Arsenal after Alexander Isak was pulled back by Jurrien Timber, the Premier League's KMI Panel has ruled.
The KMI Panel produced a split 3:2 vote that the VAR should have intervened.

Knowing this government, that guy will see this and announce plans to put up a stadium and shopping complex there by next year 🤦🏾♂️
Jeevanjee Gardens has a what might be the most dense gathering of Jacaranda trees within Nairobi CBD.
I had not realised this until I went out looking for places with Jacarandas blooming in Nairobi.

'The Premier League’s five-person KMI Panel ruled in a 4:1 vote that the decision not to punish Timber was the incorrect one.'
So poor from both Madley and Attwell on the day and it cost Liverpool.

CS Aden Duale on Ebola: Kenya will not serve as a quarantine center for any jurisdiction. Travelers from other countries will not be held in Kenya, to meet another country’s entry requirement. MoH will not issue any certificate of quarantine, or Ebola free certification for travel purposes. Kenya remains open for business, with no restriction for movement or public gathering
Conned inside where ?
" I am not sleeping very well, I am only sleeping 3 hours a day,"- A Swedish businessman has testified at the Milimani Law Courts on how a syndicate conned him out of KSh 61 million inside Harambee House.
Between January 10 and February 25, 2026, the suspects convinced representatives of the Swedish firm M/S Jokara AB that they could secure a government contract worth over KSh 4.6 billion (USD 36 million) to supply 500 Toyota Hiace ambulances.
After flying to Nairobi on January 27, 2026, the victim was escorted to a boardroom on the 12th floor of Harambee House, where a female accomplice allegedly helped them bypass security checkpoints. Inside, the suspects posed as senior officials from the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Health, and the National Treasury, presenting forged award letters and contract agreements.
Believing the procurement deal was genuine, the victim transferred roughly KSh 60.8 million through a series of payments wired into a local Kenyan bank account tied to the network.

The "severe disability" criteria is unlawful. Secondary legislation can't impose a higher qualification than primary legislation, to the disadvantage of the targeted beneficiary.
The most awaited draft regulations on tax exemptions for persons with disabilities have finally been released by KRA.
Of particular interest is the tax exemption for parents and guardians of PWDs.
The new PWD Act provided for an income tax exemption for parents and guardians caring for persons with severe disabilities.
But although the law gave them the right to apply for the exemption, KRA had not published the rules explaining how to make the application.
The draft regulations now propose an additional income tax exemption of Sh 10,000 per month for an eligible parent or guardian.
What does this mean?
In Kenya, the ordinary monthly tax free income threshold is Sh 24,000.
An eligible parent or guardian would get an additional Sh 10,000 exemption.
That means the first Sh 34,000 per month would be exempt from income tax.
For you to qualify, you must:
1. Be the parent or guardian of a person certified as having a SEVERE DISABILITY and who cannot cater for their basic needs.
2. Have full care and custody of that person.
3. Be earning taxable income.
4. Be the only parent or guardian applying for that particular person. Not father & mother.
If you care for more than one person with a certified severe disability, you may apply for exemption for each person.
Remember, these are draft regulations. The proposed exemption is not yet available for automatic claiming.
Is the Sh 10,000 exemption worth it? Are the qualification criteria fair? What are your suggestions as a parent or guardian?

There are thousands of people who need to be in place before the city awakens.
Delivering milk and bread. Starting fires to cook. Fuelling vehicles. Hauling produce.
Most of them emerge from the "bowels" of the city and live hand to mouth.

Two things have changed since I had this conversation with Fiona Cincotta on Nov. 6.
[1] @AMD shares closed 13.3% higher on Monday (Nov. 9), erasing the decline we saw after the Democrats' strong performance in the Nov. 3 midterm elections.
[2] @AnthropicAI has started its IPO roadshow. Reuters reports the firm aims to raise $64.4 billion by selling 825 million shares. Its reported target valuation is around $1 trillion - half a billion under the figure being previously discussed.
Will the firm hit its target of raising at least $64 billion at a time when sentiment around AI is volatile and the regulatory hammer may start to come down in January?
@SoftBank's reported a loss of $7.1 billion in its second quarter, following write downs for investments related to planned data center build outs. Its share price has fallen by 30% in the last 12-months.
