Senators Clash Over Revenue Sharing Formula
Senators had a big fight on Thursday. They were discussing how to share money among counties. The Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) had made a plan, but some senators did not like it. The senators whose counties would get less money were very angry. They said the plan was not fair. But the senators whose counties would get more money liked the plan. This fight was like one that happened in 2020. Back then, the senators tried 10 times to agree on how to share money. But they could not. In the end, the President had to help. He gave the counties 53 billion shillings more. This way, no county lost money. Mary Wanyonyi is the head of CRA. She told the senators about the new plan. The senators asked her how CRA made the plan. The...

Kenya Shifts Livestock Exports to New Markets
Kenya wants to export more cows and cow products to other countries. It used to send them to places like the UAE and the Middle East, but now it wants to send them to countries in Africa, like Libya and Nigeria.

ASRock Shifts GPU Production Away from China
A new tax on goods from China is pushing companies to look at other places to make their products. The United States added a 10% tax on Chinese items on top of other taxes firms must pay. PC Partner shows how businesses are changing their plans. The firm moved its main office from China to Singapore. Many other companies want to spread their work across different lands. They hope this makes them less open to sudden tax changes. The extra tax means higher costs for making computer parts. Power units already face a 25% tax when they enter the United States. Companies must check if staying in China makes sense when costs keep going up. They think about small price rises to help pay these costs. But they fear losing buyers to other...
