I won't support Finance Bill 2023 - Luanda MP Maungu vows
Luanda MP Dick Maungu has vowed to vote against the Finance Bill 2023. Speaking to Star via the phone on Wednesday, Maungu said he won't support the bill that is currently being proposed by the Kenya Kwanza administration. He said President William Ruto’s government has betrayed the hustler nation that voted for him in the August general elections. "What the hustler Nation expected from President Ruto is now the opposite of what he promised," the lawmaker said. "I won't support it because it's going to cause more harm to our economy more so to small-scale traders," Maungu.

Fug Nation Loves Wide Leg Pants!
We had a conversation about this subject last week in Fugs & Pieces, wherein I had wondered if I was becoming a Wide-Legged Pants Person; I love a pair I got from Banana Republic in the fall, and have been eyeballing these white ones for weeks. (Banana is honestly really good right now, all their trousers are great. They’re also having a pretty good sale, if you, like me, currently hate your entire wardrobe.) There are a LOT of wide-legged pants floating around now, so if you want to try being a Wide-Legged Pants Person for summer, this is your shot! We can assure you that all items were personally chosen while we sat around drinking Diet Coke and watching baseball.

Be ready for resumption of weekly demos – Raila

Raila: State wants to starve devolution by depriving county govts of funds
Azimio la Umoja One Kenya leader Raila Odinga has alleged a deliberate plot by the Kenya Kwanza administration to starve devolution by depriving county governments of funds. Counties are owed Sh94 billion for April, May and June and Mr Odinga now sees this as a deliberate attempt to deny them funds and take over their roles by the national government. I think there is a deliberate effort to try to take over some of the functions being done by county governments,” said Mr Odinga. Yesterday, Azimio co-principal Eugene Wamalwa, who served as a Devolution Cabinet Secretary in the previous regime said that from the onset, President Ruto has been against devolution. “So you find that the county governments are now subjected to overdrafts by banks with very high-interest rates leaving very little funds.”
