Here are 15 lessons I have learnt as a civil servant working for Government.

Thread 🧵

You can lie down for people to walk on you, and they will still complain that you aren't flat enough.

[Eric @amerix]

@Julius_Gitts Good morning, Julius.

[Eric @amerix]

My followers,

Good morning.

Wake up!

Success is not built in a day.

It is built in ordinary mornings like this one.

While others complain about the economy,

Disciplined people are:

• Creating value

• Solving problems

• Positioning themselves for opportunity

Focus.

@Mfalme_Sauli The old tactics of Orengo is why you are on this platform posting, otherwise you would be waiting for morning Psyop from VOK.

I don't like his latest dramas, but, please, have some respect for Orengo.

[Eric @amerix]

I told you that all those politicians masquerading as opposition are what we call POTEMKIN or ASTROTURF OPPOSITION.

But you insulted me.

Do you now see the game clearly?

They aimed to discredit genuine clamour for economic transformation, scatter powerful voices and legitimize Government's economic agenda.

This is their mechanism of existence:

INFILTRATION

Movements and social media platforms were quietly infiltrated by individuals loyal to the establishment. These individuals mismanaged the platforms to discredit social media voices in the eyes of the public.

"You have been paid."

"You are tutam."

"How much have they paid you to post this?"

These infiltrators also steered the platforms away from achieving the core goals by creating unnecessary slogans.

"Wantam"

"Tutam"

Example: X users, X posts, X spaces.

CO-OPTATION AND COMPROMISE

Leaders of a genuine grassroots movement are persuaded, bribed, or pressured into watering down their demands.

They are given lucrative platform access and media coverage but are kept on a tight leash, transforming radical critics into moderate voices that the establishment can comfortably manage.

Example: ODM and BREAD-BASED ESTABLISHMENT

STATE-MANUFACTURED OPPOSITION

The state actively creates, funds, and legitimates smaller political parties. These groups appear to challenge the government on minor, superficial issues, but they never truly threaten the ruling regime's control over the state.

"Please don't protest. We shall defeat him on election day. He has no numbers."

Sheep: "Yeees!"

Example DCP and LINDA MWANANCHI

The state played its cards strategically and outmanoeuvred all of us.

Now, we are back to:

"You are a Kikuyu."

"You are a Kalenjin."

"You are a Luo."

Don't under-estimate the STATE.

Anyway, one day, GRASS WILL GROW.

@NaikulNchoe You are still sleeping.

Challenge them to look at UK straight in the eye and ask him the whereabouts of the Yurobond.

WAKE UP.

@amerix @solgichuhi Actually Uhuru and cronies bankrupted KQ then arranged rescue loans beneficial to their banks. While Ethiopia Air was buying the latest Boeings, KQ was leasing from the corrupt cartel mafia. Instead of profiting the govt, KQ was draining the Treasury.

@solgichuhi MORE THAN HALF of Kenya Airways is owned by taxpayers.

Lenders own ~ 38%

That means GOK has a powerful influence on KQ.

When taxes are stolen, HALF of KQ will struggle,

When KQ struggles, taxpayers must dig deeper to keep it afloat.

Is it clear now?

You served in a regime (2018 - 2022) that heavily borrowed EUROBOND.

2018 - KSH 200 BILLION

2019 - KSH 220 BILLION

2021 - KSH 100 BILLION

Today, for every 100 shillings we collect, 87 goes to pay these debts.

How do you now expect anything to improve?

Nothing will improve.

[Amb. Macharia Kamau @AmbMKamau]

Flew over night #KQ business class again. They still don’t have toothpaste, toothbrushes, no toiletries. No eye blinders, no earplugs. No pajamas. The only thing you get is toilet paper. This has been the case all year. Nothing has improved. Very expensive ticket. Why?

Forgive yourself in the same breath you forgave others.

Congratulations,

Keep going.

I hope you have this self-mastery calendar.

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested two employees of the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) over allegations of soliciting and receiving a bribe in connection with a tax matter.

The suspects, Faith Gathoni Njoroge and Tyson Marango Owuor, both based at KRA's Upper Hill offices, were arrested following a complaint that they had demanded Kes3 million from a taxpayer in exchange for influencing the resolution of a Capital Gains Tax assessment amounting to Kes4.5 million.

Acting on the complaint, the Commission conducted an operation during which the suspects were allegedly caught receiving Kes900,000, being part payment of the bribe. The money was recovered and the suspects arrested.

The two are currently being processed at Integrity Centre pending the conclusion of investigations and appropriate action under the Anti-Bribery Act, 2016.

I planted this coffee casually next to my fence as an ornamental plant, and the yield has been promising.

If properly harnessed, coffee farming in Western Kenya can be an economic stimulant.

However, Western politicians are narrow-minded beggars.

[Eric @amerix]

Negative ethnicity, ethnic slurs and ethnophaulism on this platform are getting worse, daily.

Spoken by educated young people.

Derogatory politicians successfully bundled the so-called "tribeless, leaderless" voices into negative ethnic conclaves.

What a shame.
