You sit through some of these meetings and you can't believe the amount of smart Kenyans out here doing amazing stuff. And then you wonder how TF we ended up with these bellends who rule us and basically make all the decisions for us.

Kenyan businesses can't work, spend their earnings or file their returns manually but the Govt with the same rules wants to spend this digitally collected revenue manually? Jail all of them.
The Auditor General notes that 1.3 Trillion was withdrawn manually in over seven months up to February 2025, bypassing all systems designed to ensure transparency and accountability. These funds were reportedly used for debt repayment, pensions and other recurrent expenditures.

IEBC banning use of mobile phones is bollocks. It means agents can't take pictures of the Form34A. This has to be stopped in court. In the meantime, all agents must have pocket cameras procured for them.

Hmm, let's see...they want to replace 45k Kiems kits (most which were used just once in 2022). Means each one is 137k. Jokes. At 5.9B, each balot is more than 50/-. Can't get cheaper? 1.1B in means - kwani mnakula nini? 1B for transmission - internet for just a couple hours?
IEBC set to spend Sh64 billion for the 2027 general election. This includes: — Sh6.2 billion for KIEMS kits replacement — Sh5.9 billion for ballot printing — Sh1.1 billion for meals — Sh3 billion for transport — Sh4.9 billion for logistics — Sh1 billion for results transmission

Prediction: In less than 90 days, all channels that we thought were safe from spam & automation will be so flooded that they will no longer be usable in any functional sense: iMessage, phone calls, Gmail. And we will have no way to stop it.

My pal has developed an interesting way to ensure peeps register to vote. Before he buys anything from a hawker, he checks using their ID on the IEBC Verify site if they're registered. If not, he's like, 'Here's my number, call me when you register I'll buy from you'
