Those persistently scaremongering Kenyans and calling unarmed civilians “violent” or “chaotic” never ever shout about heavily armed police and murder squads who recklessly shoot peaceful protesters to death.
Stop normalizing state violence and thuggery. We must CRIMINALIZE excessive use of force or brutality by JAILING those responsible.
Kenyans have an absolute right to picket, protest, march and demonstrate peacefully! No ifs or buts!
This is why when faced with Sankara's dilemma of 'water for all or champagne for a few', smart nations always choose water for all.
Because when everyone has a solid baseline, the elite can truly thrive and become exceptional. Their "champagne" can be meaningful.
But when most people are dirt poor, the elite become stupid, mediocre bastards who cannot pave their own roads, organise their own garbage collection, and prevent their own Ikoyi from regular flooding, constant foul odour, and mosquito infestation.
Charterhouse my ass.
Kenyans are being asked to pay more taxes through the Finance Bill 2026, yet the 2026/27 Budget hides KSh 101.37 billion under a vague item called “Other Operating Expenses.” No programme. No purpose. No accountability.
Before taxing Kenyans another shilling, Parliament must clean up the budget. We cannot finance opacity with taxpayers’ sweat.

A reminder to Kenyans that the UK doesn't have a written constitution. Their MPs swear allegiance to the monarch and the monarch's children. Makes you wonder why they hauled their handpicked Africans to Lancaster in 1961 to negotiate over a constitution, when they don't know what a constitution is. And makes you not wonder, at all, that Batuk violates the constitutional rights of Kenyans. Also makes you understand why Kenyan MPs are consistently unable to serve the people and adhere to the constitution. They serve the president and his business interests instead. The British seed in them is too strong.
Maybe our wig wearing lawyers could school us on this bizarre outcome of "independence."

Like I said, GoK is hawking data because it thinks data is the equivalent of oil. Data hustling cannot remedy the major political economy problems we have. It cannot be a substitute for production. Revenue from data is pocket change. The government needs to stop behaving like a hustler and start behaving like a government.
We remember and mourn our fallen citizens who were killed on June 17-2025 ,protesting for the country and Boniface Mwangi Kariuki, a 22-year-old face mask vendor,who was only selling masks to put food on their table but ended being shot on the head by a police officer in CBD 🕊️
They really want to turn every human interaction, from a private email to where and how you drive your car, into a transaction they can track, predict, and sell.
We're not even living anymore, we're just livestock in their digital farm.
The plan is to take over all routes eventually and have monopoly over the transport industry in the city, and maybe even outside the city.
But ni sawa, si mmesema matatu ziko fiti na zinapea mayouth kazi? ✍️🏽
Why Are So Many Europeans Suddenly Leaving Their Countries?
Since 2022, Europeans have been leaving their countries in record numbers, citing everything from rising living costs, to overtaxation, to the antics of their politicians.
The West, which has and continues to sell itself to the rest of the world as the pinnacle of human civilization, seems to be currently experiencing a serious civilizational crisis.
This crisis is not an accident, but the logical demise of the parasitic and inherently unsustainable system that the West imposed on the whole word at the barrel of a g*n over 200 years ago.
And its repercussions should concern every African.
@barrahart reports for The Spearhead.
"African journalists" like @LarryMadowo and @YousraElbagir are not telling you the "truth", my people.
They are telling you what their white bosses at @CNN and @SkyNews want them to tell you.
They are following orders like every good employee, and their bosses are your enemies.
DATA CENTRES
Let me share some uncomfortable information
The data Centres they are seeking to build will be the surveillance centres. They will act like the prison warden, monitoring and allocating punishments and giving scores.
For those data Centres to work, they will need FRESH WATER to cool the hardware.
They will need to divert water from entire dams towards the data centre. For example all the water feeding the Nairobi population will need to be diverted to the data centres for cooling the systems.
See the number of legal cases in the USA against the data Centres.
We have not talked about radiation that they will produce and affect the populations living in the environs
There is no policy in Kenya that suffers from poor "implementation." GoK policies are based on violence and theft, and so when they perpetuate violence and theft, the policies are working exactly as they were designed. We gave very well, philosophically considered critiques of SHA before it was implemented. But as always, GoK people said Kenyans complain all the time, we are not experts, so what do we know... There was not going to be any perfectly executed policy. Policies sown in violence will reap violence. CBC is in the same Whatsapp group. Irris warrirris.
Parents are not lazy. Our institutions disempowered them. CBC told them learning has to be easy, about talent, spa treatment for children from teachers, and not about work. I've been in classes where teachers have been told not to do reading activities because not all children are talented in the same way, and it will make some feel bad if others read better than them. I'm not giving an example from a movie. I saw it myself.
I warned that "parental involvement" was a bad idea but Kenyan parents told me they want to have fun with their kids.
What @KICDKenya did was completely irresponsible. I told them the idea of "talent" was mushy, touchy feely nonsense that would be misinterpreted by teachers because the meaning wasnt obvious. I hope the officials who imposed CBC, including Matiangi, will one day be held accountable.
Until then, it appears that #CBCisheretostay.
Both are NOT EQUALLY true. Systemic failures have more power than individual bad parenting. And many times, the bad parenting comes from systemic attack on parental responsibility.
"Parental involvement" in CBC turns parents into babies and baby sitters. Teachers now instruct parents on what to do with their children at home. That's absurdity, not education. I've explained this in my video on "The psychology of CBC ."
The Ministry of Labour now has a parenting policy written for it by foreign NGOs. How do proud African cultures that have existed for millenia get told that they don't know how to parent? I asked this once on KTN and the journalist quickly cut short the interview.
To be an adult is to think. To engage in ideas. Only children see the world only through the "practical."
But we Kenyan adults accepted the infantilization ideology of capitalism. We accepted that thinking beyond what we can see and taste is too "difficult" or "irrelevant." The effect of this ideology to reduce the moral power of parents to instruct, to guide and to correct children, and reduce their social role in education to customers.
If we had real parents in Kenya, we wouldn't have accepted CBC. But we gave up that parental discretion to the government.
Until we stop this foolishness of hating to think, we are going to keep treating children like accessories and to reduce parents and teachers to nannies. That's what is disempowering parents.

REVOLUTION IS THE ONLY SOLUTION
You can’t work with someone who ordered the abductions, illegal detentions, torture and murder of civilians while he occupied public office and claim to represent meaningful change and constitutionalism.
You can’t work with someone who disobeyed multiple court orders when he occupied public office and then claim to be progressive.
You can’t work with someone who shot and permanently maimed a civilian while he occupied public office and then claim to respect human rights, the constitution and the rule of law.
You can’t work with someone who plundered public resources while he held public office then turn around and claim that you will protect public resources from theft.
You can’t be a solution to problems you have been part of and which you either condone or perpetuate.
Kenyans cannot replace looters, abductors, torturers, thieves and murderers with criminals who are as bad as they are.
You can’t represent genuine change unless you are ideologically transformative and committed to the complete overhaul of the colonial structures and institutions, and the creation of a merit based society.
Changing suits, colours, political parties and perpetuating the culture of impunity is NOT GENUINE CHANGE.
Recycling thieves, looters, murderers and ideologically compromised colonial mascots perpetuates the culture of impunity which Jomo Kenyatta, Daniel arap Moi, Mwai Kibaki, Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto represent(ed)!
A revolution is the only answer!
Don’t tell us about “lesser evils”. Kenyans don’t want, need or deserve evils—lesser or bigger!
The solution is not a better president.
It is the reconstruction of states that answer to their populations not to foreign creditors, not to multinational extractors, not to a comprador class whose survival depends on keeping the arrangement intact.
