So far, no presidential candidate is close to winning the 2027 elections. We've weighted all pollsters based on transparency, recency, and sample size. Ruto 39% Kalonzo 21% Sifuna 20% Noteworthy is Sifuna's rise amongst all pollsters and Matiang'i's drop.

Interesting. Our weighted July poll put Ruto at 26%. We are in October and it seems Ruto hasn't gained much since then. Our next poll is in November to see if this still holds.
Poll Puts Ruto at 26% as 69% Prefer Alternative Candidate

That map had its own title. Why would someone crop it out?
One of the greatest indicators of regional marginalization by the state is household access to electricity because nobody can blame misuse of CDF. This is purely a National Government function.

Poor households live on very tight budgets with 52% of incomes going towards food alone. The question isn't whether KSh 25 is small. Rather, should a poor household spend it on food, health, education or pool maintenance?
Cost of maintaining a pool is ~50k p.m. Pioneer Eldoret is 2000+ units, princely sum of Sh25 per house.

Vision 2030 compare and contrast. Housing was a 2012 goal.
Affordable housing was in vision 2030 and I remember out the CEO Mugo Kibati talking about it when I was in high school. Glad to finally see them materialize.

KNBS currently estimates the value of informal trade at the Busia and Malaba border points at KSh 11.6 million and KSh 15.5 million, respectively. This is the cumulative 14-day trade volume stimulated by the border points.
Kilifi in 25th position? Doubtful. Also Busia can't be way down there. The border activity...

Interestingly, high socioeconomic status did not confer major advantages in Kenya, with wealthier students scoring only 8 points higher than those from lower-SES backgrounds in science. In the OECD, the difference between the two groups (High SES vs Low SES) was 85 points.

The dismal performance reflects previous findings such as: xitter.cf/Stats_Kenya/status/178…
How good is the Kenyan education system compared to other countries? The table below shows results from a large study that evaluated grade 4 pupils. Only 50% of the pupils could identify words, 26% could read a paragraph, 5% could multiply double digits, and only 1% could multiply triple digits.
