BREAKING NEWS: ANOTHER FAMILY IS NOW LIVING A NIGHTMARE. WHERE IS AYUB MOHAMMED MAALIM?
This is Ayub Mohammed Maalim.
He was with Wakili Abshir Ahmed on the morning Abshir disappeared.
CCTV footage shows him running during the incident.
Since that morning, his family has heard nothing from him. No phone call.
No explanation.
No confirmation of his whereabouts.
Just fear, anguish and unanswered questions.
Imagine being his mother, father, wife or child.
Imagine waking up every morning wondering whether your loved one is alive, injured, detained or dead.
Imagine watching CCTV footage of someone you love running, then watching him disappear from the face of the earth.
WHO IS PROTECTING THESE FAMILIES? WHO WILL GIVE ANSWERS?
Inspector General of Police, DCI Director and NIS Director General, you cannot continue watching this country descend into a nightmare of unexplained disappearances while ATPU operates as though it is above the Constitution.
You are the people entrusted with oversight, security and accountability.
What exactly are you doing while families search for their missing loved ones?
If ATPU has Ayub, produce him.
If they have Abshir, produce him.
If they have neither, explain what investigations have been undertaken to establish their whereabouts.
An intelligence agency is not a government within a government.
An anti-terrorism unit is not a law unto itself.
No security officer has a licence to disappear a Kenyan.
And let nobody tell us that these are security matters that cannot be discussed.
The Constitution does not disappear when a Kenyan is taken away.
IG, DCI BOSS AND NIS BOSS: YOUR SILENCE AND FAILURE TO ACCOUNT FOR THESE DISAPPEARANCES DEMAND SERIOUS QUESTIONS.
We are not asking for favours. We are demanding human beings back.
AYUB MOHAMMED MAALIM MUST BE FOUND. ABSHIR AHMED MUST BE FOUND. BOTH FAMILIES DESERVE THE TRUTH.
A country cannot call itself a democracy while its citizens disappear and their families are left to bury hope every single morning. – at Ruiru, Kenya

The statement tabled by the Chairman of the National Assembly's Finance & Planning Committee following last week's meeting with the Central Bank Governor states that,
"A balanced implementation of the capital requirements is therefore necessary taking into account financial stability, competition, financial inclusion and the sustainability of locally owned banks"
Musings:
· Has the Committee forgotten that the current phased out annual hurdles for increase in minimum core capital was actually its proposal from Dec 3rd, 2024 (see quoted tweet)?
· It is this same National Assembly's that passed the Business Laws (Amendment) Act of 2024 which amended the Banking Act which proposed the Kes 3 billion by Dec 2025; Kes 5 billion by Dec 2026; Kes 6 billion by 2027; Kes 8 billion by 2028 & Kes 10 billion by 2029
· Did the legislators propose & pass something they did not understand or what has changed between then & now for this fresh push back?
· Banks have been handed a breather on the bump up in core capital requirements
· Committee recommends extension of compliance period horizon from 3 years to 8 years
· So the initial plan of Kes 3.0 billion by Dec 31st, 2025; Kes 6.0 billion by Dec 31st, 2026 & Kes 10.0 billion by Dec 31st, 2027 will now be spread out over 8 years

Fellow Kenyans, I've heard you LOUD & CLEAR. The voice of the people is the voice of God. The people cannot be wrong. Sifuna IT IS. So let's all rally behind him and give him all the support he needs

“His abduction is directly linked to a case at the Makadara Law Courts, where he complained against known NIS, ATPU and military intelligence officers. These officers had earlier indicated that they would interfere with the matter, but they have now opted to abduct him,” — Lawyer Alex Kubo, after reporting the alleged abduction of lawyer Ahmed by Kenyan police.
An Advocate, Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi was abducted on 1/11/26 along Muchai Drive. His motor vehicle was recovered on the same road. The incident was at Kilimani Police Station - 55/1/11/2026 .
Reports from people who witnessed the incident, indicate he was pursued by 2 motor vehicles, a Prado TX and a double cab. The occupants of those vehicles had guns and 2 were in what seemed like police uniform and bullet proof vests.
The abduction is linked to a case he’s involved in against some senior police officers & he’s been subjected to various intimidation tactics prior to this incident.
An attack against an Advocate is an attack on the administration of justice and due process of law. The involvement of police in extra judicial abductions continue to prevail despite repeated assurances that they will end. The police cannot behave as if the life of a Kenyan doesn’t matter. They are not above the law.
@IG_NPS @kipmurkomen @ray_omollo intervene and urgently release our colleague from your agents.
Isn’t this lovely!!!
Looks like iko fireworks Uganda...The New Radical Bar is roaring! @IsaacSsemakadde

The moment this was announced it was easy to see it wouldn’t take place. There was bound to be too many legitimate questions about the deal. What is the cost, who is shouldering it, what value does it add to our local sporting activities, would local teams have been paid if they were to curtain raise? Who made the decision? If it was the President? If it was the President, in what official capacity did he do this yet there’s a sports ministry?

Edwin Sifuna: We heard the president was going to make a very important announcement and because he was in Russia, some of us were hoping that he was going to announce that he has secured release of more than 1,000 Kenyans lured to fight in the Russian-Ukrainian war, instead he told us that some 2 European teams are coming to Nairobi to play a football match
Abductions continue and we are told development is more important than respect for human rights!!
#hotoffthebench
The court has ordered the Inspector General of police Douglas Kanja @NPSOfficial_KE and the DCI Boss Mohamed Amin @DCI_Kenya to produce Twaha Mwaipaya or the body and personally appear before court on Monday 2nd November 2026.

The Constitution is not President Ruto’s suggestion box or a buffet where he picks what he likes and leaves what he doesn’t.
The very Constitution he is sworn to uphold is what provides the framework for his election and his authority to govern. So why should its other provisions suddenly become optional?
That same Constitution also guarantees citizens’ rights, demands respect for the rule of law, requires gender representation, and sets limits on presidential power.
If the Constitution is valid enough to make you president, it is valid enough to tell you what you cannot do as President. You cant claim its authority while treating its obligations as optional!
Any person holding themselves out as a Cabinet Secretary is engaged in a coup against the Constitution.
Starting today, any engagements or agreements executed by the current CS are illegal and void. Any public expenditure incurred by them is illegal and liable to a claim for recovery. Members of the public should be wary of dealings with the government and its cabinet entities, as they cannot claim ignorance as to it’s illegality.
The Cabinet is unconstitutional and in light of our laws cannot exercise any functional authority on behalf of the Kenyan.

The issue of voter apathy cannot arise. The agenda is a single candidate to remove the seating President. It’s not about the popularity of the proposed candidate. The aim is one. Removal of the current president
If the opposition chooses to give the presidential ticket to Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka, I see one major problem ahead. Voter apathy. Even me I cannot wake up to go and vote for a guy who has been in leadership position many years before I was born.
For those new to the idea, voter apathy means a lack of interest or enthusiasm among eligible voters to take part in an election. These are people who are registered to vote but decide not to get up and cast their ballots.
Kalonzo is, for many young voters, simply uninspiring. That could be a serious political setback in 2027.
People do not want to wake up early, stand in line for hours, and vote for Kalonzo Musyoka. They want a new face on the ballot. So far the name that seems to be connecting with some of them is Edwin Watenya Sifuna.
Politics is about numbers, but it is also about excitement, energy, and the ability to make people feel that their vote matters.
You can have the best political machinery in the country, but if the people who are supposed to turn up on election day stay at home, the result will be clear.
Then there is Ndindi Nyoro. I have serious doubts about his political consistency. His apparent indecision and his absence during crucial parliamentary votes, including the impeachment of Rigathi Gachagua and the latest Finance Bill debate, raise questions about where he truly stands when the pressure is on.
People who sit on the fence are dangerous in politics. When the storm comes, you need to know who will stand with you and who will be looking for the safest place.
I would not put my political trust in someone whose position appears to shift when the wind changes.
Even the Bible has a word for this kind of politics. In Revelation 3:16, Jesus says of the lukewarm, “So because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth.”
Those are strong words.
Ultimately, the opposition needs more than a name that can unite politicians. It needs a candidate who can move the needle, excite young voters, and get people out of their houses on election day.
Because when it comes to elections, you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink.
And in 2027, the opposition cannot afford to nominate a candidate who leaves millions of voters asking, “Why should I bother waking up to vote?”
That is how voter apathy becomes the opposition’s Achilles’ heel.
This post demonstrates need to create a more robust and integrated system to curb illegal developments. It should not be easy to scam public authorities and take advantage of unsuspecting members of the public to believe a project has the necessary approvals.
I have seen some people peddling a fake approval document alleging that the Eastleigh development was approved. It is telling that this is the same document that the Eastleigh developer used to get NCA approval. They allege that the development was approved in January of 2024. This is not true.
The application for development as shown below was made in November of 2024, it could not have been approved in February of the same year. Also, there is a difference between a change of user approval and a development approval.
The developer applied for change of use from residential to residential & commercial in August of 2024. Change of user was approved in October of 2024.
Development approval has never been granted. The developer went on to build with impunity and without building approvals despite enforcement action by the county and arrests.
