Taxes zinapanda kwa mkate, mafuta ya taa, na hata chakula cha mifugo—wazazi wanaskip meals, biashara zinafungwa, na wasee wanabeba mzigo mzito. Hii sio story ya “wengine,” ni sisi wote. Ukisukuma watu kwa kona, economy inaumia, biashara zinakufa, na wengi wanateseka. TISA urges the government to broaden the tax base fairly, support farmers & SMEs, and stop punishing those already struggling.

In a bold stand for freedom, the High Court has just struck down Nairobi's protest ban, reminding us that our voices matter and cannot be silenced. 💥 This isn't just a legal victory, it's a triumph for every Kenyan who believes in the right to speak up, challenge injustice, and fight for a better tomorrow. Key takeaways: 1️⃣ The blanket ban on protests failed to meet constitutional standards. 2️⃣ The press statement restricting the right to protest until further notice was ruled unconstitutional. 3️⃣ The requirement for a designated protest leader to cooperate with police was deemed unconstitutional. In a country where power often tries to quiet the people, this ruling is a powerful reminder that no one can take away our right to protest.✊🔥

TISA and @SUN_CSA_KENYA , in partnership with Githunguri Sub-County Agricultural Officers, hosted an introductory meeting to engage key stakeholders in the agri-food system. Smallholder farmers, aggregators, and processors were introduced to the gender-transformative approach and proposed interventions aimed at strengthening inclusivity in agriculture. Stakeholders expressed strong commitment to participating in the initiative, setting the stage for impactful collaboration.
