We decided to make a #MwangoMemes as a tribute to outgoing President Uhuru Kenyatta given how memeable he has been.
He literally became the president of Meh-meh-s and he seemed to enjoy them too
Here are our top 10 memes from him:
1. Getting started a while back:
2. We have many faces of him:
3. Happy face:
4. Sad face:
5. Naughty face:
6. Cheeky face:
7. Funny face:
8. "Ona huyu" face:
9. This is kind of the way foreign journalists were waiting to see Kenya up in flames during elections:
10. Will be tough tomorrow for him wondering what to do now that he is no longer President:
11. At least for, the Presidential Retirement Benefits Act entitles him to a KES 34.7M lump sum pension for the 2 terms served, & an annual gratuity of KES 72M amongst many other benefits:
12. Meanwhile, he leaves behind a legacy of huge infrastructure project plus huge debts and a high inflation:
13. Slowly, Kenyans are going back to watching KBC. It is the only local channel showing the inauguration:
14. "Sasa, cheki yule pale anasoma memes zetu bila kulike au kuRT"
15. "Sasa, mnataka nido?"
16. "Wee, mimi sina pesa"
17. "And then we told them we are going to build 5 international stadiums"
18. "Do you see those #MwangoMemes, wueh? These #Mwango people know their stuff"
19. Anyway, he bows out tomorrow. Goodbye king of memes.

Parliament has directed East African Portland Cement to buy back Holcim’s 29.2% stake instead of selling to Tanzanian tycoon Edhah Abdallah Munif.

Starting 5th May 2025, NEMA will begin implementing the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Regulations under the Sustainable Waste Management Act (L.N. 176 of 2024).
1/ A KES 150 levy will be introduced per item of packaging. 🧵
2/ What’s Affected?
The levy applies to nearly everything: plastic, glass, aluminium, paper, cardboard, rubber, leather, textiles, and composite packaging.
Think food wrappers, medicine boxes, cosmetic bottles, even sanitary pad packaging all fall under this.
3/ NEMA says the KES 150 will apply to "standard packaging" but that term isn’t clearly defined.
For example, if Panadol tablets are packed in strips, which come in boxes, the boxes packed into cartons, and the cartons stacked onto pallets - what exactly is considered the chargeable item?
Is it the strips, the box, the carton, or the pallet?
—The Transmission Master Plan (TMP) projects the need for an additional 9,600 km of transmission lines and a $5.2B investment by 2042 to support industrial growth and electrification.
—KETRACO is exploring Public-Private Partnerships to bridge the funding gap
2. Why PPPs?
—KETRACO projects have historically been financed through loans from development partners like the World Bank, AfDB, JICA, and Exim banks.
—The next set of funding from these partners is estimated to be available after the financial year 2028/2029.
