In Nairobi, many consumers experience limited food choices. Economic pressures and limited access to safe food forces them to settle for what's available often at the expense of their health. This reality highlights the urgent need for inclusive food policies that addresses affordability, accessibility, and safety. #NotSafeNotFood
Enhancing food safety awareness is powerful for consumers to demand accountability and champion the transformation of food systems. Through consistent sensitization, consumers are empowered to engage in policy processes, while safeguarding the public health. #NotSafeNotFood
This is what unfolded during the 2024 pro-good governance protests led by Gen Z. June 25 marks the first anniversary—a moment to demand accountability. On this day, take to the streets and make your voice heard

“ NCIC is getting higher budget allocations, yet we do not see their work. We saw on TV an MP saying they will carry goons to beat people in Nairobi. Where is their voice?”-Faith Odhiambo, LSK
Grassroots does not mean lesser, it means strategic and rooted in reality!
They tell us “You guys are doing amazing work! You have the potential.” But never invest in that potential even when they are capable.
But still we are relentless, hope keeps us going.

Such a productive session today facilitated by @GenerationShapers CBO and hosted by Future Leaders 254 and Mlango Kubwa Information Centre.

We celebrate all
Let us be the voice that rise against any dream being cut short.
It is deeply saddening that Ruaraka’s only playing ground, a vital haven in Baba Dogo for nurturing young talent, has been seized and sold off to an industrialist. This field has been the cradle of community sport, reducing youth crime and fueling dreams.

The attempt to build a hotel in Ngong Road Forest is a reminder that unless we are vigilant, our forests will continue vanishing quietly.
In today's @PeopleDailyKe, GBM's Job Mwangi sounds the alarm on the current trend of silent forest grabs. #SaveOurForests#SaveNgongRoadForest
Bonnie was stamped out of Kenya, and stamped into Tanzania. He entered legally. Now he’s being held incommunicado and the Kenyan government is silent. Worse, they’re complicit.
Every Kenyan passport literally says the govt will protect and assist us abroad. So why isn’t that happening? This is a straight-up breach of duty and diplomatic obligation.
This silence also breaks international law; both Kenya and Tanzania are signed on to the ICCPR, which protects against this kind of abuse.
And what happened to East African unity? #JumuiyaNiYetu isn’t just a slogan. The EAC stands for human rights and accountability -?or is that only when it’s convenient?
Can we take legal action against the Kenyan government for failing to do what it promised in its own passport?
Where is Bonnie? Where is Agather?
#FreeBonifaceMwangi #FreeAgatherAtuhaire
Another morning without Agather. As of now, we don't have any information regarding where they are detained. So far, a habeas corpus has been filed in Tanzania.
Please continue calling for @AAgather & @bonifacemwangi's release.
What happened to Boniface Mwangi in Tanzania is a stain on the conscience of the East African Community.
@bonifacemwangi was arrested before he could attend a public court hearing by authorities in Tanzania. No charge. No lawyer. No access to his consulate and torture in silence.
This is not just a violation of rights, it is a betrayal of the promise of Jumuiya. This is a direct assault on our shared East African values.
We carry one passport. It must mean something. We walk with one freedom. Jumuiya means soft borders, free speech, freedom of movement, dignity and justice without borders. Detaining and torturing individuals without charges violates the principles of fair administrative action.
If we are truly one people, we must defend each other when the state crosses the line. You cannot torture East Africans into silence. The East African Community must rise and protect its people. Otherwise, it becomes what we fear most; a union of presidents and not citizens.
If someone is wrong, charge them. But due process is not optional.
We must build a union of justice, not just trade. Of people, not power. If we can’t protect our own, we have no business leading a region.
