Kenyan leaders throw big tea party, but don’t serve the facts. President William Ruto, his deputy Kithure Kindiki, and CS Mutahi Kagwe have each told rich tales about tea earnings. But the government's own receipts show they got a lot of it wrong. africacheck.org/fact-checks/re…

We have received with great sorrow the news of the passing of Pheroze Nowrojee, one of the lawyers who courageously volunteered to defend Maalim Seif Sharif Hamad when he was arrested, detained, and charged with possessing classified government documents in Zanzibar in 1989.

Sometimes, you stumble on very interesting (and not-so-nice) data. So apparently, 2.3 million Kenyans don’t have national IDs, and most of them (1.9 million or 82%) are aged 18 to 25. They are old enough to struggle but not old enough to exist on paper?

Most people credit Mwai Kibaki for the 'bypasses' around Nairobi. I am still looking for his footprint. I got this firm one by JPM and UK, and went aaaahhh, what am I missing. Or what exactly is "commissioning"? 😜

No word yet on The People’s Watchman Agather Atuhaire whereabouts, a day after their alleged deportation. Musalia W Mudavadi statement on the news yesterday provides no specific detail about where exactly they are being held or when, if at all, they are to be deported. This is a serious concern
