The other day KK bloggers were busy telling us how perfectly SHA is working.

Then today Citizen TV reports something disturbing.

A teacher (below Alex Nyakeri) was involved in a terrible accident and spent days in HDU.

He survived. Thankfully.

But here is the reality:

Total hospital bill: KSh 4 million.
Amount SHA paid: KSh 1 million.
Not even half.

Yet every month, this teacher has deductions taken from his salary for this very system.

Ironically, if he had taken a good private medical cover, it would probably have covered 70-80% of that bill.

In another case, a teacher’s body is reportedly being held in a hospital in Western Kenya because SHA settled less than 30% of the bill.

But we were promised something different.

We were told this system would end medical fundraisers.

Instead, families are fundraising again.

And if teachers - people with stable salaries and deductions - are going through this…

What about the millions of poor Kenyans with no voice?

You can paint a lion with white stripes,
But it will never become a zebra.

Sha has failed kenyans

The Daily Nation says the government plans to borrow KSh 5.9 trillion in the next three years.

But remind me... wasn’t the reason for all these new taxes and levies that Kenya needed to stop digging the hole of debt?

So if the borrowing continues anyway, what exactly were we tightening our belts for?

And here’s what really frustrates people.
It’s not just the borrowing.
It’s the misuse.

We hear of offices spending millions every day.
A Deputy President’s office is burning through tens of millions daily.
The President is flying on chartered planes.

Meanwhile, citizens are told:
“Pay more taxes for the good of the country.”

Now imagine if that borrowed money was clearly building highways, hospitals, industries, irrigation...

Kenyans would probably endure the pain quietly.
But borrowing just to sustain waste?
That’s what turns frustration into anger.

And that’s why more and more Kenyans are saying:
2027 can’t come soon enough.

Let’s remind ourselves of something important, because in this country, we forget very quickly.

In October 2025, reports showed that Kindiki’s office spent about KSh 14.4 million per day.
In just three months, that came to roughly KSh 1.4 billion.
This year again, we’re told that KSh 1 million a day is being spent on planes.

Meanwhile, some Grade 10 students from poor families quietly dropped out of school because fees could not be raised.

The government continues borrowing.
The national debt keeps growing.
Yet the priorities seem unchanged.

So when Kenyans say “Ruto must go,”
It is not always anger speaking.

Sometimes it is simply people looking at the numbers…
and asking whether the country is being run for them, or around them.

I’ve been watching the sudden overdrive trying to convince Kenyans that SHA is working.

But Itumbi should know painting a lion with zebra stripes doesn’t make it a zebra.

If SHA is truly working, why are patients still fundraising from hospital beds?
Why are families leaving hospitals with bills instead of treatment?
Why was SHA payment data quietly hidden after fraud questions emerged?
Why isn't it even paying 50% of bill for most patients?

And now bloggers must sing about its success every hour.
Strange.

Because when something truly works, you don’t need a choir to praise it.

The people themselves become the testimony.

Ruto must go

2023 – Several tree planting holidays.
2024 – Several tree planting holidays.
2025 – 🌳 …
2026 – 🌳 …
Did we finish planting all the trees, or what happened? 🤔

First, the 2024 Finance Bill.
MPs passed it… then later claimed they didn’t know what was inside.

Now Mbadi says he lied to them.
And no MP challenged him at the time.

So I’m trying to understand something.
Aren’t MPs supposed to question government officials before passing bills?

Or is the system now:

Pass first… understand later?

If MPs can pass laws without noticing they’re being lied to…

What exactly are Kenyans electing them to do?

Citizen TV has just done a really disturbing story on Grade 10 students, something I warned about earlier this year.

Their report shows many Grade 10 students, including the ones in the pic below, are now stuck at home after mid-term because schools will not allow them back due to the fees.

In January, I warned about what this Ruto government was playing parents. I said the priority seemed to be getting the students to schools registered as “transitioned” in their systems, so the numbers could be presented to the World Bank for more loans.

After that, the real struggle of these students would quietly be forgotten. No one would care whether they had been chased back home for fees or dropped out.

Sadly, this is exactly what we are now seeing.

The students dropping out are not from wealthy families. They are the children of poor households who simply cannot keep up.

Why can’t we make education truly free?
Why build a system where the poorest children are the ones pushed out?

My heart bleeds for these students.

Yesterday I saw an advert on Citizen TV promoting a herbicide called SRASHER to farmers in Kenya.

Before people rush to buy it, please share this message in your WhatsApp groups, especially those with farmers.

This herbicide contains chemicals such as Atrazine and Acetochlor. Studies have linked these two long-term exposures to serious health concerns, including:

• Endocrine (hormone) disruption affecting estrogen & testosterone balance
• Reproductive effects like reduced s***m quality & menstrual cycle disruption, irregular periods, etc
• Possible birth defects in heavily exposed populations
• Cancer concerns studied in relation to breast, ovarian, liver, lung, thyroid cancers, and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma
• Nervous system effects such as headaches, dizziness, nausea & weakness
• Liver toxicity, including enlargement and enzyme changes
• Possible kidney stress
• Skin & eye irritation from direct contact
The bigger concern in rural Kenya is misuse. Many farmers may not know the long-term effects of chemicals like atrazine or how dangerous exposure can be. Some apply herbicides without protective gear and close to rivers or boreholes where communities get water. During rain, these chemicals can wash into water sources or remain on crops.

Also, most of the agricultural land is located close to rivers and water sources

Over time, repeated exposure through water, food or inhalation may create serious health risks, e.g., cancers.

If this herbicide must be used, farmers should be guided by agricultural extension officers and take proper safety measures.

Sometimes the safest method is still the traditional one: manual weeding using a hoe or hand tools.

Many health problems begin quietly from small exposures over time. Please share this information, especially with farmers.

As always, we will continue monitoring issues affecting the safety of food and water in Kenya and speaking up when risks appear.

James Orengo spoke today, and his words carried a difficult truth.

He said Oburu Odinga was born inside power, raised near its center, yet mostly remained in its quiet shadows, unlike Edwin Sifuna, Babu Owino, and others who stood where the streets burn, and history is written.

Tear gas is not a qualification for leadership. But it has a smell you never forget. Police cells are not classrooms, yet they teach the price of speaking for the people.

Raila Odinga (Baba), Sifuna, Babu Owino and many activists did not inherit their voices; they forged them in struggle, in fear, in resistance.

Today, as Kenyans speak out against police brutality, it feels natural that the youth listen most to those who have faced the batons, not just the microphones.

Perhaps that is why Edwin Sifuna’s voice echoes so strongly among young people; it sounds less like power speaking and more like experience remembering.

I’ve just watched this video of President William Ruto addressing residents in Roysambu.

The crowd was strikingly small, honestly, it didn’t look anywhere near 100 people. It's as if they forgot to bring crowds along

What stands out even more was the mood. No energy. No spontaneous applause. Just a quiet, subdued gathering.

In politics, crowds can be organized and optics carefully managed. But genuine public enthusiasm cannot be manufactured.

If this reflects the real mood on the ground, then he will not believe

This morning I followed the Senate grilling of Governor Sakaja, and Senator Edwin Sifuna delivered advice that sounded less like politics and more like a warning siren.

He did not oppose development. He warned against building a house on quicksand.

The Nairobi-National Government deal may look attractive, but according to Sifuna, it is surrounded by legal landmines because public participation was supposed to happen before the agreement was signed, not after.

Doing it afterward risks the courts striking it down, just as many government projects have collapsed before.

His advice was simple but crucial: cancel it, redo it properly, and anchor it firmly in law so Nairobi does not pay for shortcuts later.

He also pointed out that if the President truly has KSh 80 billion for Nairobi County, there is a lawful path to channel it through Parliament’s appropriation process so the money still reaches Nairobi in full, but transparently and constitutionally.

Otherwise, the county may end up spending even more taxpayer money defending a flawed agreement in court… and still lose.

This was not an attack. It was preventive medicine.

Kenya does not lack resources. We lack patience for due process.

Shortcuts in governance are like borrowing from the future at a brutal interest rate, citizens eventually pay the bill.

Development that bypasses the law rarely survives the law.

Let them build Nairobi on rock, not sand.

Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen has been asked by the Senate to explain the progress on the police brutality incident that occurred in Bomet in 2024, where footballer Victor Mutai was shot in the mouth and killed.

Nearly two years later, Murkomen says the police officers involved have neither been arrested nor suspended.

The explanation given is that ballistic testing of the fi****ms is still ongoing, a process that can ordinarily be completed within a short time, yet it is now approaching two years. The file is still at the ODPP.

This raises serious concerns that investigations by the DCI and prosecutorial processes by the ODPP in cases of alleged police brutality may be moving too slowly or are being delayed intentionally.

Delayed accountability risks normalising impunity.

When asked about measures taken to protect or support the victim’s family, no clear or constructive steps were outlined.

Situations like this are frequently cited as reasons why police brutality cases continue to recur, without timely and visible consequences, deterrence is weakened.
