This Is What It Means to Be Kenyan Right Now #sirininumbers
Being Kenyan right now
means eating teargas like breakfast.
Means your lungs burn,
but your spirit don’t.
It means leaving the house with a goodbye
that feels a little too heavy.
Like maybe today,
you don’t come back.
It means knowing a Subaru can pull up anytime,
no number plates, no warning
and just like that,
you vanish.
It means tweeting with your hands shaking,
speaking truth with your face half covered,
marching even when your legs are screaming “no,”
but your heart says, “ kaende kaende”
Because how long can we stay quiet?
How long can we clap for thieves
and pray our kids grow up free
in a country that chokes us
just for asking “why?”
They want us scared.
But we’ve seen too much.
We’ve buried too many.
We’ve paid the price already
in hunger, in shame, in silence.
So we rise.
Teargas in our eyes,
but vision never clearer.
Gunshots in the air,
but hearts steady.
They can beat us,
they can drag us,
they can call us names
but they can’t kill all of us.
Because we’re not just angry.
We’re tired.
We’re fed up.
We’re awake.
This isn’t just protest
this is heartbreak turned into fire.
This is love for a country
that keeps breaking us,
but we refuse to let go.
This is what it means to be Kenyan right now
It means fear is real,
but courage is louder.
He is able—so we bow in reverence, lifting our worship and our prayers to the One who reigns. With hearts wide open, we intercede not just for ourselves, but for our nation. Lord, heal and bless Kenya. You alone are worthy!

Every Nation in History has a Generation that towers above. For Kenya, our Gen Z is our GREATEST GENERATION … We were brought up to put our TRIBE ABOVE NATION … Our GEN Z was brought up to put NATION ABOVE TRIBE … Humbled to be alive when GEN Z raised our FLAG HIGH! #June25th
Natoa machozi mimi 😭
Thread Alert 🚨:
Brace yourselves, Kenyans! I’ve taken a deep dive into the National Audit Report on the newly formed Social Health Authority (SHA). The findings are downright shocking😱—from dubious financing to shady procurement. Stick around for 6 more tweets that expose this #HealthScam! #SHA
I keep telling y'all that our country is on the precipice of total collapse. I am not certain that people really appreciate the seriousness of our predicament.
Let me try to paint the picture one more time, so you can see why what you see in the attached letter is likely to become normal across the country.
We are in debt up to our neck. Almost KSH 11 trillion.
For every shilling the KRA collects today, we put aside 60% to pay just interest.
Then we have to try and make do with the balance, 40%.
Paying the army. The Navy. Police. Teachers. Doctors. MPs. Judges. etc.
Buy MPs and government's top cream cars, houses, etc.
And then send KSH 400 billion to the counties, to places like Busia.
You can see that there is no way the 40% that remains after paying interest can cover the rest of these bills.
So each year we borrow more. To the tune of around KSH 1 trillion annually, in order to maintain this scam of a government.
Now, 100% of our counties cannot cover their annual budgets.
Only 6 of our 47 counties can cover more than 10% of their annual budget. 6 out of 47!
The average county is covering only 6% of its annual budget. These "leaders" from each county sit there, come up with a budget, knowing that they can only cover 6% of it from local revenue sources, but no one says, well, where is the rest of the money going to come from?
That's how Busia comes up with a budget of KSH 9 billion, despite the fact that it can only raise KSH 200 million.
The natural consequence of this is that 100% of the counties have their hand out every time a bill is sent. Including paying their own staff.
But remember that at the National level, this "magical" place where money is supposed to come from, does not have enough money to cover ITS OWN BILLS.
Yes, even before you factor in the counties, the National Government is already in a fiscal deficit.
So, now we borrow money to pay the bills as they come, and kick down the can.
No body is asking how long we can keep doing this.
This issue is only going to get worse.
If you have no control over 60% of your income, you are a slave. Pure and simple.
That is why the IMF will tell Kenya that it needs to raise VAT on bread, and your leaders go for it. Knowing good and damn well that this is going to be highly punitive on the poor in our country.
But these same leaders have absolutely no interest in reducing their salaries, their allowances, or their trips and dining domestically and abroad.
Look on the second picture.
None of these people will miss their checks. And the County governors and MCAs will not miss theirs either.
The Governor in Busia, who makes KSH 12 million annually before benefits, and who in 2022 received KSH 150 million in cars and mortgage from the County budget, won't miss his checks.
The MCAs in Busia, who received KSH 101 in cars and mortgages in one year, and KSH 66 million in MCA allowances, won't be missing their salaries. And even if they did, they have more than enough in the bank to wait a year or two.
The County politicians spend around KSH 300 in travel annually. Hundreds of millions in cars and mortgages for politicians.
Don't you think that if these politicians did not eat up pretty much all the money, and waste the rest, Busia workers, the ones actually delivering services to citizens, would be more likely to receive their salaries?
Kenya needs reforms. Immediately.
The size of our government needs to shrink. Significantly.
The compensation of our politicians needs to change, significantly.
The behavior of our politicians with our money needs to change, significantly.
If you are a politician and needs someone to build you a free house, and send you abroad every month for benchmarking, go employ yourself.
Leave us alone.

Psalm 42 is written by the sons of Korah at a time of great distress and pain, like we all get from time to time. However, even in their despair, they encouraged themselves in the Lord by remembering His faithful love.
Let us hope in the Lord
