I told you that all those politicians masquerading as opposition are what we call POTEMKIN or ASTROTURF OPPOSITION.
But you insulted me.
Do you now see the game clearly?
They aimed to discredit genuine clamour for economic transformation, scatter powerful voices and legitimize Government's economic agenda.
This is their mechanism of existence:
INFILTRATION
Movements and social media platforms were quietly infiltrated by individuals loyal to the establishment. These individuals mismanaged the platforms to discredit social media voices in the eyes of the public.
"You have been paid."
"You are tutam."
"How much have they paid you to post this?"
These infiltrators also steered the platforms away from achieving the core goals by creating unnecessary slogans.
"Wantam"
"Tutam"
Example: X users, X posts, X spaces.
CO-OPTATION AND COMPROMISE
Leaders of a genuine grassroots movement are persuaded, bribed, or pressured into watering down their demands.
They are given lucrative platform access and media coverage but are kept on a tight leash, transforming radical critics into moderate voices that the establishment can comfortably manage.
Example: ODM and BREAD-BASED ESTABLISHMENT
STATE-MANUFACTURED OPPOSITION
The state actively creates, funds, and legitimates smaller political parties. These groups appear to challenge the government on minor, superficial issues, but they never truly threaten the ruling regime's control over the state.
"Please don't protest. We shall defeat him on election day. He has no numbers."
Sheep: "Yeees!"
Example DCP and LINDA MWANANCHI
The state played its cards strategically and outmanoeuvred all of us.
Now, we are back to:
"You are a Kikuyu."
"You are a Kalenjin."
"You are a Luo."
Don't under-estimate the STATE.
Anyway, one day, GRASS WILL GROW.
@NairobiWater@NairobiWater kayole kuna shida ya maji for a whole month can you tell us what te issue is and what have you done so so far to sort it out
@KelvinK53648970@NairobiWater Nilienda huko only to hear one of them saying kayole kuna shida ya maji and you wonder what have they done to sort out the issue🤦
Here is Tito, a Grade 8 boy who has been left to take care of his siblings after their mother abandoned them. All the children are from different fathers. There is also a Kemboi, the family is truly broadbased. It is so unfortunate to see a 14 year old boy forced to converse and reason like an adult.
The small boy in the maroon sweater is just sitting there, clinging to hope. You can see from his eyes that his elder brother is his only source of hope. The mother disappears, only to return pregnant, adding another burden to the family. It is a very unfortunate situation.
The young boy has a phone registered under the mother’s ID. You can help with whatever little you have. His number, as heard in the video is: 0745 944060 (Ruth Maleve).
This guy William Ruto,is anything but intelligent or smart. I have sat down for days trying to understand his logic and I can tell you for free he is very far from intelligence and brilliance . Infact if the bus carrying intelligence was passing today, he would be arriving at the bus stop two days from now. Thats how far he is from intelligence
What this man is,is a crook,a very shrewd crook with money and resources. No more nothing less. There is no intelligence or smartness being reflected from his actions. If he was smart,if just did just 50% of what he promised what he would do before election,we wouldn’t be where we are now.
Ata kama ni kuiba,if he was smart,this is not how a smart person steals. This guy is literally eating anything he finds his way. He has the hunger of a mad man in the market. Ruto is grabbing land,hes taken over tiles business,LpG gas depots,construction,mining,Maize growing,wheat farming,sugar import,hospitals,insurance,banking,fuel imports,Avocados,Steel production and many more. Even condom importation,hes there
And you can imagine its not like hes creating fair competition,its him coming in,pushing the existing traders aside and taking over where they were. Now look at this logic and tell me if you see any brilliance in that. Hes not scheming,HEs bulldozing his way through all walls. Anaenda tu!
Ni mtu ambaye ana ujinga ambao hauna tiba. That is why he must Go. As soon as now. This is a man committed to burn this whole nation full of dreams and potential,just to ensure his stomach remains full.
He found 3.3 million people already surviving on hand to mouth. He then forcefully hijacked their payslips and deducted their money to fund a housing project that directly benefits his companies. After years of contributing to a health insurance fund, he takes everything away and tells you to start paying again into a system that benefits him directly.
The money Kenyans used to pay into NHIF disappears into thin air. As if that’s not enough, he increases contributions, yet you still don’t receive services at hospitals. He found education affordable but went ahead and cut capitation, making it a luxury for a few elites.
He introduced a confusing funding model in universities, effectively turning higher education into a privilege for the rich. He even shamelessly boasts that building churches is more important than schools and hospitals.
And this is just less than 1% of the unfortunate things the president has done to Kenyans. Yet, he is still asking for another term to continue with these sinister actions. If you find yourself seated with someone singing Tutam, you better be careful. That person is capable of murder.
Now that EPRA has increased the price of fuel in Kenya, life will become:
— More expensive to move around
— More expensive to buy food and basic goods
— Harder for households to manage daily costs
— More pressure on businesses and workers
