It’s we the people who use public transport that should go on strike. The millions who wake up every morning to keep the economy alive, Not just the matatu drivers and conductors.
Tell me why people still woke up early to go wait for matatus to take them to work.
The office worker, the banker, the teacher, the civil servant, the engineer, the nurse, the corporate employee all should simply refuse to report to work.
Because nothing scares a government more than a silent country where productivity stops.
Matatu strikes alone are not sustainable. Empty offices. Empty buildings. Phones unanswered. Systems frozen will scare the hell out of the ruling class.
Kenyans don’t need violence.
They need coordinated refusal.
Manager: Starting next month, the new policy is five days a week in the office. No exceptions.
Employee: I manage the New Zealand accounts. Most of my calls happen between 12 a.m. and 2 a.m. Working remotely helps me manage that schedule.
Manager: We need you at your desk from 8 to 5. The whole team needs to be together to improve our culture.
Employee: If I’m at my desk from 8 to 5, I won’t be available for those midnight calls.
Manager: Figure it out. We’re not bending the rules for one person.
Employee: Understood. Here is my resignation.
Manager: Great. Rules are rules!
One month later…
Manager: Why are sales in the New Zealand region down 50%?
HR: Because nobody is answering their calls.
Manager: Why not?
HR: Because it’s midnight here, and everyone is asleep.
Manager: We need someone to answer those calls.
Team Lead: We had someone. You made them sit in traffic for two hours a day just to sit in office with noise cancellation headphones.
Manager texts Employee…
Manager: The New Zealand region is a mess. We can offer you a hybrid schedule if you come back.
Employee: Sorry, it’s too late. My new company trusts me to manage my time, not my location.
You can mandate a desk. You can’t mandate engagement.
When you value policies over people, you lose your best people.
Juogi have softened today and I can now address my people in English.
LUOS, our culture is beautiful. Let us Do It, Overdo It, Invent new mourning styles and Go Overboard.
Without fear or Shame, We Are Us. ✊🏾
#RailaOdinga
She watched her man wade through clouds of tear gas & the heavy hand of state oppression, his spirit unbroken by the brutality of power. Yet, no matter how fierce the storm, he always found his way back home to her, to love, to the quiet dignity of survival. But this time, as fate would have it, the journey home would be different. The man who once returned in defiance of death now returns in silence, enshrined in a casket, his final protest written in the stillness of his body.
Baba had his flaws. Everyone does
But he has brought more reforms, fought many injustices & made our civilization stronger than any other Kenyan I know
I loved Raila Odinga — hated him for a bit in the recent past.
Today, I choose to celebrate him.
Rest in Power Raila Odinga.
Sending out goons to rape women just because women have stood up against your murderous regime is a war crime. Ruto is a terrorist. He should be arrested and tried for crimes against humanity and jailed for life. Or better yet hanged.
There’s no way to go through today without a lingering sense of guilt.
Even waking up feels like a quiet betrayal of those who didn’t make it through the night.
Ei, Kenya. 💔

I have so far spoken to 3 women. We are waiting for an ambulance for one of them to go to the hospital
All these cases are harrowing. goons would surround a motorbike and grab the woman off the bike.
Gang rape and rob them.
I'm so angry right now. We can't continue like this
