If we do not keep our conversations around;
- Repudiating Odious debts
- Tracing looted funds to the last coin
- Sociopolitical justice
- Jailing thugs
- Nationalizing minerals,
Then there's no meaningful change we are advocating for.
The noise is just a distraction from the main economic problems.
We will keep on replacing wardens and crying after every 5 years.
For the last three years I've sat with other people's grief.
I didn't set out to become a chronicler of loss. I was trying to survive my own.
20 things I've actually seen, no theory, no five stages
When you hear politicians suddenly uniting to tell you who the “enemy” is, pause and ask yourself one question:
Who benefits when citizens are divided and distracted?
Too often, the political class closes ranks not to defend the people, but to defend the system that feeds them. They want Kenyans fighting each other while corruption, impunity, unemployment, and economic injustice continue unchecked.
The moment someone begins questioning the structure of exploitation, the wardens of the prison quickly unite and point at a new “enemy” to keep the prisoners distracted.
Kenyans must stop worshipping political camps and start defending principles. Accountability is not tribal. Justice is not regional. Truth is not partisan.
The real struggle is not between ordinary citizens. The real struggle is between a corrupt system and the people paying the price for it every day.
To every mother in Kenya, Asanteni sana.
You are Kenya’s first teachers of integrity, its first keepers of justice.
Long before any law was written, you were building this nation, quietly and faithfully, in the home.
The Kenya we are working to reset, rebuild, and restore is a Kenya worthy of your sacrifice.
Happy Mother’s Day.
The State has imposed mandatory housing levies on Kenyan workers, with deductions calculated on gross earnings. This expands the contributory base beyond basic salary into allowances and variable income streams. Such a mechanism is justified on grounds of urgency, necessity, and public interest , implying that the funds are required for immediate deployment into housing delivery.
However, the revelation that approximately KSh 25 billion of these funds has been invested in Treasury Bills introduces a structural inconsistency. Treasury Bills, by design, are liquidity management instruments. Parking programme-critical funds in such instruments effectively sterilizes capital that should otherwise be circulating within project pipelines. This creates a clear temporal mismatch between revenue collection and expenditure obligations.
This raises deeper concerns about public finance management. The recycling of earmarked contributions into government securities, absent a transparent and publicly articulated cash flow framework, creates the perception of fungibility , where funds intended for a specific programme are absorbed into broader state financing operations. Such opacity undermines the integrity of the programme.
I am a woman. I am not an extension of anyone. I am not the supporting role in a life that was always meant to be yours.
I have my own hunger. My own anger. My own God, who I speak to directly without a man standing in the middle translating.
I have a name that existed before anyone loved me and will exist after everyone has forgotten to. I have opinions that were not given to me. I have a body that was not built for your comfort. I have a future that does not require your permission to begin.
I was not created to be palatable. I was not created to be manageable. I was not created to shrink myself down to a size that makes the people around me feel large.
I am a woman. Complete. Whole. Entire.
Not almost something. Not someone's potential. Just me.
We are distraught by the heartwrenching loss of lives and property on account of the flooding of Nairobi following yesterday's heavy rains. We extend our deepest condolences to all those who have lost their loved once, and sincere commiserations to all that have lost their property or are nursing injuries.
The flooding crisis indicates a significant challenge resulting from decades of mismanagement in planning and derogation of environmental priorities. It is further concerning that our emergency response services have been too slow in giving the necessary intervention. The cycle of unpreparedness to deal with such occurrences and laxity in learning from them is as regrettable as it is unacceptable.
We have received distress calls from Kenyans in various flood stricken parts of Nairobi including South C, Hazina Estate, Embakasi, Nairobi West, Kahawa, Loresho, Roysambu and Parklands among others. The harrowing images we have received and desperate plight of those affected paints a daunting picture for the state of affairs, which is likely to worsen as the rains continue. Something needs to be done urgently.
We call upon our emergency services to intensify efforts to salvage the city from more loss of lives and property. This moment serves as a test for our structural planning over a problem that is neither isolated nor novel. We expect that no intervention will be spared in taking care of our people and finding lasting solutions to this mess.

"The people growing rich because of their proximity to the President feel threatened by any criticism of the President and will destroy you even without the President's knowledge," a powerful and eye-opening quote from Wakili Paul Muite.
William Ruto's killer regime is committing economic terrorism.
Public funds are looted in billions and looters are walking free without being held accountable.
They are keeping the country in an illegal debt trap while auctioning state parastatals at the same time.
This is economic terrorism and #RutoMustGoNow
