So KRA allowed the goods into the country, fully aware that they were counterfeit🤔but tax walichukua.
No difference from this government. They are nowhere to be seen when you're struggling to build a business, but they are always quick to show up and demand taxes once you've grown.
Why are we paying a private vendor to access our own birth certificates and passports?
When the state admits it doesn't even own the source code for the platform it’s forcing us to use, the "convenience fee" is actually just a private tax.
Doubling it while the audit reports are still screaming about missing billions is an insult to our intelligence. 🇰🇪
@l_lizah@osoroKE They released the military to guard their kingdom during maandamano but they couldn't bring out the same military to save Kenyans in distress last night.
In Dholuo, we love saying “Ngima ema duong.”
It means that the gift of life is greater than anything else. It implies that as long as there’s life, we can do anything.
That as long as you’re alive, there’s room to try again. And again.
Thinking about it always makes me smile.
Why are Africans obsessed with making deals with other people to exploit our own resources?! If the Chinese will pay us, imagine how much they will make? Are we simply not able to imagine a world where we can build the equipment for ourselves and exploit the minerals and sell them ourselves, the same way that Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso is currently doing?! We claim that our only problem is Ruto but yet, Ruto seems to represent exactly the same limited thinking of the average Kenyan.. So mentally colonized we literally can’t think outside the colonial exploitative model… it’s 2025. Today we have far more technology available to us right within Kenya than any country had in 1950, and yet by 1950 they were building Concorde, reeeraching space exploration, shops, submarines.. We MUST build and exploit our own resources…
