I totally believe in rebrands that turn you 180 degrees from something abominable to someone people actually pay attention to. How @C_NyaKundiH went from being the King of Single Mother Haters to becoming a credible news outlet needs to be studied in-depth in Comms classes πŸ˜…

This poll isn’t going the way @HonMoses_Kuria thought it would, and I - 🀣🀣🀭
Take this to the bank. The 2027 Presidential race will be exactly like the 1997 election. There will be nothing like opposition unity. The following will all be on the ballot. With 318 days left, nothing will change. Hii imeenda.

Yesterday, I watched William Ruto ask Uhuru Kenyatta to stop sabotaging his government. I sat with that for a minute. He has the presidency. The police. The budget. The whole machinery of government. And his explanation for why things are this bad is a man who left office? Can he tell us; What job does Uhuru hold in your government? Is he the one sending police after young people? Was he in command when protesters were shot in 2024? Is he the one making life more expensive every month? A president who has delivered doesn’t need a ghost to fight. He puts the record on the table and defends it. The fact that his explanations are always pointing backward, means there's a problem with what is happening in the present. We aren't fools.

Ruto has access to all national intelligence. So he knows full well that Uhuru isn't funding Linda Mwananchi (there is really nothing to fund at this stage even). The bitter attacks on Uhuru must therefore mean that the 4th President has Ruto cornered somewhere else. And it must be somewhere so delicate that escaping is impossible. I can speculate that it is in the security sector. Ruto should face whatever Uhuru has on him and stop hiding behind Linda Mwananchi. Don't be a Neymar, who gets kicked on the foot, but falls down hysterically clutching the neck!

When you get transferred from being the Editor-in-Chief of a regional newsroom to being the Editor-in-Chief of a smaller, less consequential newsroom, that is not a promotion. Do with this information as y’all will.

Seriously though, why would a president we elected, being the hospitable Kenyans we are, make xenophobic pronouncements… unless he rigged the vote and therefore doesn’t represent the majority of Kenyans? 😎

Kenya is moving very quickly now 😳
FlexPay founders, the company behind Kenya’s β€œsave now, buy later” fintech FlexPay, were arrested by DCI detectives over the alleged theft of Sh31.2 million belonging to a major retail chain. The DCI says the suspects allegedly collected payments from customers on behalf of the retailer but failed to remit the money

We really need to fix street lighting in Nairobi asap. A few minutes ago, I found myself drifting from the overtaking lane into the left lane… because I was following lane lines while being blinded by oncoming full-beam lights, and Langata Road is quite tricky with lines.

Tjo, this Uganda election season is turning out to be worse than Tanzania’s. Bobi Wine is projected to win - kwa ground. However Mtandao, which is now shut down, says M7 is the leading horse in this race. Meanwhile, in TZ, no one understands how Mama BilaSuluhu won.

Up next is Kenya, where Ruto will be up against… eh, we don’t know yet, but what most Kenyans feel is that even if a donkey were to run against him, the donkey would win. (Apologies to all donkeys for the unfortunate comparison.)

2025 African Startup Review: Unpacking Key Trends and Events - Startup Shutdowns As 2025 comes to a close, the African startup ecosystem is ending the year with some hard conversations. This week, we’re spotlighting one of the toughest themes of the year: startup shutdowns. From fintech giants with multi-million dollar raises to edtech hopefuls backed by record pre-seed rounds, 2025 reminded us that funding alone is no shield. We break down the stories behind the closures that shaped the year: The full breakdown is live on Weetracker. ow.ly/lmjm50XBPKy #AfricanTech #Startups #Innovation #TechInAfrica #Founders #VC #2025Review #StartupShutdowns #Fintech #Edtech #BNPL #EcosystemInsights #DigitalAfrica

Kenyan lawyer Francis Wanjiku, a consumer rights and competition law advocate, has requested that the National Assembly's Finance and Privatisation committees scrutinise the sale of 15% of Kenya's shares in Safaricom, with a view to determining the transparency of the valuation process. This follows national outcry over the sale process, with Standard Investment Bank being the latest party to state the shares were undervalued by 15.4%. The National Assembly is currently on recess and will resume on February 10, 2026, while committee sittings will resume on January 26, 2026, at which point a way forward will be determined. WeeTracker will keep you updated as the situation unfolds.

As a Kenyan, this statement is worrying when you put it in the context of the fight for Kenya’s rightfully owned Indian Ocean stretch. Ilhan has literally called us an β€˜external threat’ & threatened to use US resources to fight us. Ma’am, this is NOT the way to go.
Ilhan Omar: "The U.S. government will only do what Somalians in the U.S. tell them to do. They will do what we want and nothing else. They must follow our orders."

At this rate, I’m like can we petition 50 Cent to do a documentary on Ruto?
