Kenya’s Court of Appeal has declined to suspend the High Court ruling that nullified the government’s sale of a 15% stake in Safaricom to Vodacom for Sh204.3 billion.
The sale remains legally invalid for now, with further court directions set for October 23, 2026.

#BelgianGP 🇧🇪 | Fred Vasseur on Lewis Hamilton’s penalty:
“I think it’s garbage because that Lap 1 so far into the season there was no penalty [for similar incidents]. If you have a look at the corner, Russell had enough space on the left hand side. It’s not like he was close to the wall. More of a racing incident for me.”

Lewis Hamilton is now the first F1 driver in history to have a win with McLaren, Mercedes, and Ferrari. This is Formula One Heritage.
#MonacoGP 🇲🇨 | Lewis Hamilton on getting podiums back to back:
“I’m grateful to have moved forwards [in the race] cause we started 3rd and to get to 2nd is awesome. To have two 2nds, especially, I think, with a good race in Montreal. Everyone was kinda like “yea, but he’s quick there,” I feel like I’m in a period where I’m having to remind people of who I am. My fans had to remind me of who I am, and now, I’m having to show up each weekend to try and do that.”

I’ve been following Parliament closely lately.
And what I’m noticing should anger every Kenyan.
Because this is no longer lawmaking.
It’s state capture happening in real time.
Every bill I look at
is creating a new board, a new authority, or powerful new offices with appointment power, sitting with the President or CS.
Not solutions.
Not relief for Kenyans.
Just positions.
Fisheries Bill - 3 new boards.
Forestry Bill - a powerful approving authority.
Cooperatives Bill - more offices.
Technopolis Bill - another board.
Sacco Bill - an entirely new structure.
And the list keeps growing.
The pattern is too consistent to ignore.
In almost all of them:
👉 The President or CS decides who gets appointed. And you know who the president is likely to appoint.
So I keep asking myself,
Is the national assembly making laws for the country?
Or are they creating positions to reward loyalty?
Because at the same time, we’re being told:
“Kenya is broke.”
“We need austerity.”
“The wage bill is too high.”
But somehow, there’s always room for:
-More offices.
-More salaries.
-More allowances.
It doesn’t add up.
And what’s worse,
many of these roles already exist in other institutions.
So what exactly are we fixing?
Because the more I look at it,
The more it feels like Parliament has quietly shifted its role,
From solving problems
to expanding government and consolidating control.
Maybe I’m wrong.
But if you’ve been paying attention,
You can see the pattern too.

Kiambu County has shown KRA dust.
KRA audited the county.
And found the county was collecting serious money from:
- Parking fees
- Business licenses
- Market fees
- Renting stalls
- Renting stadia
- And other county fees
Then KRA asked:
- Where is our VAT?
- If you charge 10,000 for stalls
- You should have added 16% VAT
So Kiamburians should have paid: 11,600
And the extra 1,600 goes to KRA.
But Kiambu did not charge VAT. So KRA became dramatic and said:
- No problem. You'll give us that VAT from your own county coffers.
It is at that moment that, Gov Wamatangi knew hii si mchezo.
He ran to court.
He argued:
- The county is not a business entity.
- It is a government unit performing public functions
- It does not operate for profit
- The county fees charged are already a form of tax
- Charging VAT on them is double taxation
- It is illegal
The court agreed.
And KRA’s VAT demand was set aside.
This is a big precedent.
It means:
- County services should not be inflated by VAT.
- Public services are not businesses to charge 16% VAT.

Most SACCO members have NO idea this is happening.
Here are extracts from the SACCO Bill set for 1st Reading 👇
Read for yourself.
Anne retweeted
🚨 There’s a SACCO bill in Parliament today, and most Kenyans don’t even know what’s coming.
Quietly... with almost no public attention…
A system is being introduced that will centralize SACCO money, and Govt will now have a massive say in it.
Think of it as a “Super SACCO” for all SACCOs.
It will:
- Hold funds from different SACCOs
- Manage liquidity
- Run payments
- Lend to SACCOs
- Invest your money
Sounds safe? Here’s the reality:
❗ SACCOs could lose some operational independence
❗ Oversight becomes much heavier (via Sacco Societies Regulatory Authority)
❗ Leaders must meet “fit & proper” approval
❗ Strict reporting & constant supervision
And yes, this could mean slower access to your money in some situations.
Now the part they won’t emphasize:
Your savings are only protected up to KSh 100,000
If a SACCO collapses?
Anything above that = your risk.
Even worse:
⚠️ Payouts are NOT immediate
⚠️ Must be approved & gazetted first
⚠️ You could wait while your money is locked
So ask yourself:
Why centralize SACCO money...
But limit protection for members?
This bill is being sold as “safety.”
But it also introduces control by the government, delays, and new risks for ordinary Kenyans.
This is how systems change,
slowly, quietly... then permanently
