South Africans are laughing at the size of a Kenyan police station, so I went to look at what those skyscraper police stations are achieving.
40,475 reported rapes in one year. That is about 3,373 a month, 778 a week, 111 every day and nearly five every hour.
Basically, one reported rape every 13 minutes.
Maybe we should compare results, not buildings.
Let’s address the elephant in the room because I feel like many people don’t want to have this conversation😳
So the plan is to vote for Sifuna simply because he can help get Ruto out? As long as Ruto is gone, then we’re good? Haven’t we been here before? Isn’t that exactly how Ruto benefited from the anger against Uhuru&Raila ?
And before that, wasn’t Uhuru’s victory also driven in part by a wave of sympathy over the ICC cases and the feeling among many supporters that it was time to stand with him and push back against those they believed were targeting him? Look at how Uhuru’s administration left this country? Haven’t we already seen where voting out of anger or emotion, instead of demanding better leadership, leaves this country?
The next election cannot just be about who is most likely to defeat Ruto. It has to be about who has a clear plan to deal with corruption, protect the Constitution, end abductions and extrajudicial killings, fix our broken healthcare system, reform education, create jobs, reduce the cost of living, tackle public debt, restore independent institutions and ensure there is real accountability in government.
I understand the thinking. The common enemy is Ruto, and the enemy of my enemy quickly becomes a friend. But I refuse to believe that after everything this country has been through, Kenyans are ready to settle for people with serious questions hanging over them simply because they are the fastest route to removing one man from power. A perfect example, Aisha Jumwa😂
We cannot keep voting against someone. At some point, we have to start voting for something. Otherwise, we’ll keep changing faces while the system that keeps failing Kenyans remains exactly the same.
For us parents raising children with disabilities, @edwinsifuna called us for a meeting in his office with @CrystalAsige after I tweeted him explaining all the challenges we face. They listened to us
A week later amendments to the PWD bill were done
It's now an Act of Parliament.
I consider it a compliment that this nepo baby calls me a traitor (msaliti).
The role of journalism is to speak truth to power, not to praise fragile bullies who celebrate extrajudicial killings
What we saw in Tanzania and what is unfolding in Uganda is the reason we must insist on the centrality of our values in all political discourse. Democracy, Human Rights, Freedom, Rule of Law, Social Justice and Equality. Everything else must be done within the framework and in accordance with these values.
Huyu jamaa alikuwa anaishi juu ya mti along Jogoo Road, but his transformation is real. For now, he has a house what is remaining is job ……. It took my time and few coins to change his life . Thanks to Kenyans who stood and encouraged him .
We know that Mwabili Mwagodi is being held by @SuluhuSamia’s government with the blessings of Kenya’s government.
East Africa is fast becoming a region of tyranny and oppression.
Let it be clear that we hold both Tanzania’s and Kenya’s governments responsible for Mwabili’s abduction.

The Judiciary must also take its fair share of the blame. Julia Njoki would be alive today if reasonable bail terms had been set. Her place of residence was known and so is her family. You can’t ask jobless youth to pay 50k bail for made up offences #JusticeforJuliaNjoki
BREAKING: 31 people were killed in Saba Saba protests in Kenya on Monday, @HakiKNCHR says.
That’s nearly 3 times more than police reported in their statement that praised officers for “restraint” despite widespread reports of brutality
