The crowd went from Wantam to Tutam in a flash. This is how things will turn when Ruto hits the ground full blown, campaigns are going to shift tables in unbelievable numbers.

You're at your most brilliant and wisest when you keep your mouth shut.

What I like about smart people like Tim is that they can make convincing arguments for things they do not believe in to win or stay in political offices. Self preservation + political hustling. I hope this gentleman wins the Senate seat.

Tim. You are lying prostrate in front of UDA political demi-gods, not even the big guy at the top. Including Mkarabati and Kipchumba to secure that UDA ticket for the Senate. Shida ni wakatae kukupea.

Tim the national event dignitaries get invitations by the state to attend. Was he invited and failed to?

Aliko Dangote plans to invest an additional US$ 1.5 Billion (KSh 194.8 Billion) to expand Kenya Pipeline Company's approximately 1,300 km network, according to the Financial Times. The announcement follows his acquisition of 25% of KPC for KSh 42.5 Bn ($327.4 Mn), involving 4.5 Bn shares traded on the NSE on October 19. Speaking at the FT Africa Summit in London, Dangote said the acquisition would support petroleum products distribution, Bloomberg Terminal and Reuters reported. The investment complements Dangote's proposed $16 Bn oil refinery in Lamu. Financing and implementation details of the pipeline expansion remain undisclosed.

Translate the gains, remember this is a private entity owned by the two

Why are you bitter, sir? 63 years later, the gains for independence is not yet, inequalities, post colonialism need to be defeated, constitutionalism & rule of law to be adhered to for Justice to be our shield & defender

Is there a prescribed way to celebrate heroes? Did all Senators attend the event in Eldoret?

Ahsante sana @rigathi and Mama Dorcas for inviting the @LindaMwananchi_ team to your Wamunyoro residence today. We believe this is a first of many engagements that will foster unity within the opposition as we gear up to the General Elections. Mbele kuzuri.

1/ The Road Maintenance Levy securitisation is, in my view, the clearest test of the government's "off-balance-sheet" financing model. It therefore deserves far more scrutiny than it has received. Under Phase I, Sh7 of the Sh25 per litre fuel levy was pledged to raise KSh 175bn for road pending bills. Phase II pledges a further Sh5 per litre. Parliament's Budget Committee placed its target at about KSh 120bn, whereas the Roads CS reports KSh 139bn raised (Aug 2026). If the two phases are cumulative, Sh12 of every Sh25, that is 48% of the levy, now belongs to investors. Even on the most conservative reading, no less than 28% is already committed. The levy was created to maintain roads. Consequently, every shilling pledged to past arrears is a shilling withdrawn from future maintenance. This is all the more worrying given that road spending had already declined from KSh 208.2bn in FY21/22 to KSh 133.2bn in FY23/24 (KNBS, cited by the PBO). Maintenance is therefore squeezed twice: by a smaller budget today and by a smaller levy tomorrow. Furthermore, the Parliamentary Budget Office observed in February that the 2026 Budget Policy Statement contains no measures to prevent new pending bills from accumulating. It follows that securitising arrears without such a rule does not resolve the problem. It merely refinances it, and the next round of arrears will inevitably claim the next slice of the levy. Finally, there is the question of classification. The underlying cash flow is a statutory tax, and the obligor is, in substance, the State. On what basis, then, is this not public debt? Calling it an asset-backed security alters the balance sheet on which it is recorded. It does not alter who bears the risk. Should fuel volumes fall or the levy be reduced, the shortfall returns to the Exchequer regardless. None of this is to say that securitisation is inherently wrong. It is, however, to say that it must pass a test the government has yet to publish.

Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.
