Meet Wicknell Munodaani Chivayo. 43 years old. Zimbabwean. Founder of Intratrek Zimbabwe. Known locally as "Sir Wicknell." He calls President Ruto his "father and mentor." He has visited State House Nairobi, Sagana State Lodge, and Wajir State Lodge. In February 2026, he was granted a Kenyan passport a fact made public not by the government, but by activist Boniface Mwangi. Here is what Kenya needs to know about the man collecting Kenyan travel documents and government-adjacent contracts while barely out of Zimbabwean courtrooms. In 2004, Chivayo was convicted of theft and illegal foreign currency exchange money laundering and sentenced to three years in prison, which he served at Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison. Not alleged. Convicted. Served time. Behind bars. In a maximum security facility. He rebuilt. In 2015, his company Intratrek Zimbabwe was awarded a contract to construct a 100-megawatt solar power plant in Gwanda, for which it received an advance payment of US$5 million from the Zimbabwe Power Company without carrying out substantive work on the project. The lights never came on. The solar plant was never built. The $5 million was gone. He faced multiple rounds of criminal prosecution over the advance payment but due to his close alleged links to Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa, he was ultimately acquitted in 2024. Close political connections are a remarkable legal strategy. Highly effective. Zero costs. Then in 2024, leaked audio recordings linked him to a US$100 million contract for the supply of election materials to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission. His former business partners accused Ren-Form and Chivayo of inflating costs by up to 235%. South Africa's Financial Intelligence Centre investigation concluded that more than R800 million was transferred to the business bank accounts of Wicknell Chivayo from this deal. In December 2025, the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission closed its probe saying it could not find contractual evidence tying him to the deal. However, sources told the Zimbabwe Independent that the Hawks' investigation in South Africa was "very much alive." In April 2026, a South African High Court issued an anti-dissipation order freezing assets, bank accounts, and a private jet linked to several of his entities. South Africa's FBI equivalent is still on the case. The jet is frozen. The investigation is alive. Now here is the Kenya chapter. In June 2026, ZimLive reported that his company IMC Construction Kenya had won a stake in a US$2.9 billion contract to expand Jomo Kenyatta International Airport joining the Chinese state-owned China Communications Construction Company and its subsidiary, China Road and Bridge Corporation, as a joint venture partner. This is the same airport the Adani Group was supposed to expand until that deal collapsed in late 2024 following a US corruption probe and public backlash. COFEK the Consumers Federation of Kenya had already petitioned the High Court in petition No. E083 of 2026 to bar Chivayo from Kenya entirely, citing his fraud and money-laundering record and tender scandals in Zimbabwe, including the Gwanda solar project and Zimbabwe Electoral Commission contracts. COFEK said IMC Construction Kenya is wholly owned by Chivayo and that the lobby raised concerns the company lacks an airport construction track record. The government's response? Transport CS Chirchir said Chivayo does not appear in any bidding documentation as a contractor, partner, or joint-venture member. "We don't know this gentleman. I saw him for the first time in the media. He is not in any of our documentation," he said. "We don't know this gentleman." The same gentleman who visited State House. Who visited Sagana State Lodge. Who visited Wajir State Lodge on June 1, 2026 to discuss multimillion-dollar investment projects. Who was issued a Kenyan passport in February 2026. THAT gentleman, the government does not know him.

How @KenyaPower @KenyaPower_Care has all the time to fabricate customer bills but no time to follow-up with legitimate fraud reports directly affecting their revenues.
Replying to @KRACorporate
@KRACorporate doesn't it concern anyone that the government is losing a lot of revenue due to illegal @KenyaPower connections?

Frustrated former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko now claims That he cannot withdraw or access money from his bank account because it has been blocked. This comes a few days after KRA moved to recover an alleged tax debt of KSh 623.39 M Sonko said he has other options for getting money, including his deals in Dubai.

I'd love to see how many of them have been mentioned in a fraction of the mega-corruption cases you all have been accused. Just shut up! Don't compare your bad manners with people of integrity .
𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 💃 Amy Klobuchar (MN), Gina Hinojosa (TX), Amy Acton (OH), Deb Haaland (NM), Keisha Lance Bottoms (GA), Katie Hobbs (AZ), Maura Healey (MA), Hannah Pingree (ME), Huldah Hiltsley (MN House), and Senator Zaynab Mohamed(Minnesota) These victories are more than American milestones—progress is contagious. Barriers broken abroad awaken courage at home. As Kenyan women prepare for our coming elections, may this wave remind us: the future belongs to those bold enough to step out & lead with wisdom and hope. Boundless pride for 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳.

10 more reasons why Sifuna presidency is now a matter of urgency. We don't want one more day of the current kleptomaniacs iin the office.

Deep inside, Babu Owino hates the fact that it is Sifuna the Spirit of Baba chose. His 'Baada ya Baba, Babu' mantra suddenly became irrelevant.

Note how Sifuna, a first-time senator sounds so presidential than the president himself. The president should take a leaf out of Sifuna's book. He might somehow safe face.
Our Constitution envisages an Independent Police Service and an Inspector General who is responsible for the enforcement of law and order without direction from anyone. Thats why our Courts require the IG to be the one to produce people who have been lawfully arrested. Unfortunately this system can’t work where the regime sets up parallel police squads away from the IG’s command. This is exactly why LMM insists on Constitutionalism and the Rule of Law. I will not be surprised if the IG shows up and tells the court, just like he did in the Twaha Mwaipaya case, that he doesn’t know where lawyer Abshar Abdi is. #LindaKatiba

You're literally having wet dreams. Wake up! Pork is the only sin you fear.
If United States can elect Muslims as Senators and members of House of Representatives. Then Kenya we can elect a Muslim President, expect it Very soon guys. Mark this.

Republicans fucked up every sane pro-human policy. It's come back to bite the ass!

We must agree on one thing: this stadium took away the right to education from millions of Kenyans. It deprived many of their right to accessible healthcare.

At what point does Gachagua outgrow tribal bigotry? Gachagua will never care about Kenya, the country, or Mt. Kenya and its people. The gentleman is negotiating for his stomach.

You have 45 minutes to make sure it's up in flames!
My mama fua has showed up rocking a UDA Tshirt with Ruto smiling full mouth on the front side. Karibu niweke yeye round kick akiamungu. The Tshirt is in the dustbin as we speak

Mali Kenya Iko right now you can not afford to be politically neutral. It's juvenile to think that's right. Choose a side and inspect how it'll affect your tomorrow.

Really satisfying to see how Obinna struggles to engage someone who uses his brain. He mumbled in his own show, jumping from one topic to another!
