Bwana Methu says William Ruto has kicked out Tata so that he can mine Lithium worth trillions and Millions of crude barrels underneath Magadi. 🤣🤣🤣 Lithium and Crude that Brunner Mond Group and Tata Chemicals couldn’t find since 1911! This William Ruto must be a genius… AKILI?

FACT-CHECKING PASTOR DORCAS: Rigathi clearly stated that it is the good Pastor who wrote his speech, and deficiencies of facts agrees with Gachagua. So let’s factcheck Mtumishi: 1. BASE TITANIUM: ❌ The Claim: Politically driven closure or policy failure. ✅ The Truth: Pure geology. Titanium ore reserves in Kwale (South Dune & Bumamani) were 100% depleted by late 2024 after 11+ years of active extraction. You can’t mine what isn't in the ground! 2. NAKUMATT SUPERMARKETS: ❌ The Claim: Recent economic policies collapsed the retail giant. ✅ The Truth: Mismanagement & debt. Downfall started back in 2017. Nakumatt accumulated over KSh 38 Billion in debt through hyper-aggressive overexpansion, empty shelves, severe supplier defaults, and massive shock losses- 2009 Downtown fire and 2013 Westgate attack. Officially liquidated in Jan 2020, 3 years before Ruto administration. 3. HILTON HOTEL(Nairobi CBD): ❌ The Claim: Hilton completely pulled out of Kenya due to bad business environment. ✅ The Truth: CBD dynamics have been gradually shifting for decades and the winding up wasn’t if but when. The iconic 1969 tower closed Dec 31, 2022, because corporate/diplomatic clients moved to Westlands & Upper Hill. Renovation costs were astronomical. Hilton didn't leave Kenya—they expanded elsewhere (Hilton Garden Inn, DoubleTree). 4. DE LA RUE: ❌ The Claim: Arbitrary shutdown. ✅ The Truth: Global restructuring. Suspended operations in Jan 2023 after losing a KSh 1.1 Billion High Court tax case to KRA relating to royalties paid to Parent company between 2013-2017, combined with parent company global cost-cutting across their printing footprint. 5. JUMIA FOOD: ❌ The Claim: Jumia exited Kenya. ✅ The Truth: Vertical exit across all of Africa. Delivery of low-ticket meals lost money continuously against specialized app competitors. Jumia shut down its food app across 7 African nations on Dec 31, 2023, to focus 100% on its core e-commerce marketplace and JumiaPay. 6. TWIGA INDUSTRIES. ❌ The Claim: Closed down / dead. ✅ The Truth: Twiga Chemicals remains very alive, active, and fully operational across. 7. CMC MOTORS. CMC Motors had been struggling for roughly 14 to 15 years before officially announcing a complete exit and wind-down of operations in East Africa in January 2025. The company's prolonged decline did not happen overnight; it was driven by a sequence of corporate infighting, strategic blunders, loss of major vehicle franchises, shifts in consumer buying habits, and macroeconomic pressures. All the vehicle brands previously under CMC are fully in the market under different franchises. Facts over noise!

I have seen several comments on this news article suggesting that the Government will arbitrarily target or take your SACCO Savings to build infrastructure. Basically, ignorant, and sentiments almost obviously from people who either don’t have savings anywhere or don’t understand how SACCO’s, and generally financial institutions work, or just political contractors kama wale wa reject Finance Bill for nonexistent clauses. On the contrary, this is actually a big win for savers who will earn interests or dividends on revenue projects like PPPs. Would you apply the same logic on money you save in your bank account? Like, “Hii pesa yangu nimesave hapa, msijaribu kuguza…” 😅 In the same breath, why don’t we have a problem with buying government bonds and treasury bills? The loans we take from China are from citizen/public savings, and workers pensions. Closer home, the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) is funding the Rironi-Mau Summit highway project in a joint Public-Private Partnership (PPP) agreement with CRBC. CPF Pension Fund(former LAPTRUST), has been bidding to fund the proposed Mombasa-Nairobi Superhighway. Ignorance is already bad, but ignorance packaged as knowledge is a public hazard.
