SIRACH 3:18 “The greater thou art, the more humble thyself in all things, and thou shalt find grace before God.”
Why you and I must vote against William S. Ruto and anything he stands for in 2027:
I have watched something break in this country, and I don't think we've properly reckoned with what it means.
Since 2024, more than 100 Kenyans have been killed in connection with political protests and police action: shot at rallies, killed in custody, disappeared and later found dead or never found at all. These aren't disputed abstractions. They are documented by the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, reported by international media, and mourned by families who buried children, students, vendors, breadwinners. A 12-year-old girl killed by a stray bullet in her own home. A mask vendor shot at point-blank range while selling masks at a rally. A student shot in the neck. These are not casualties of war. They are citizens of a republic that claims to derive its authority from them.
Here is the philosophical core of it: a government's legitimacy is not self-granted. It is not conferred by winning an election, by delivering infrastructure, by economic policy, or by political alliances forged after the fact. Legitimacy is a standing condition, continuously earned, and it rests on one non-negotiable foundation, that the state does not turn its violence against the very people it claims to represent. This is the oldest idea in the social contract tradition: citizens surrender certain freedoms to the state in exchange for protection, not predation. When a government kills, tortures, or disappears its own citizens for dissenting, it has not "gone too far" within its legitimate authority, it has stepped outside the boundary of what makes it a legitimate government at all.
Kenya's own constitution says this explicitly. Article 26 guarantees the right to life. Article 27 guarantees equality and freedom from state discrimination. Article 29 guarantees freedom from torture and cruel treatment, and the right not to be detained without trial. Article 37 guarantees the right to assemble, demonstrate, and picket. These aren't abstract ideals, they are the actual, binding text of the document every officer, minister, and president swears to uphold. A regime that violates them isn't making a difficult tradeoff. It is breaking the single agreement that justifies its power over us in the first place.
I understand the arguments people will make in 2027: about development, about infrastructure, about the economy, about political calculation, about "who else is there." I want to be honest that those conversations matter and deserve real scrutiny, I'm not pretending governance is simple. But I have come to believe there is a threshold beneath which no other argument is admissible. If a government has shown, repeatedly and without accountability, that it is willing to let its people be shot at rallies, tortured in custody, or vanished for speaking, then no policy achievement can be weighed against that on the same scale. You do not balance a life against a budget line. You do not trade accountability for a road.
This is not about tribe, party, or personality. It's about a line that either holds or it doesn't. If you watched what happened in 2024 and 2025, if you saw the funerals, the KNCHR reports, the mothers speaking to journalists about children who went out to march and never came home, then 2027 is not a normal election to you anymore. It's a referendum on whether that line still means anything in this country.
No one has the right to take a citizen's life for dissenting. No one has the right to torture, maim, or disappear a person for disagreeing with power. Not the constitution, not economic necessity, not political convenience. Anyone who has witnessed this and still finds a way to justify it has, I think, made peace with something I cannot make peace with.
May God Almighty have mercy on this Republic of Kenya in 2027.
one reason i want the diet of kenyans improved is so that we can all grow to normal sizes and realize passo and 14 seater matatus are not going to work for mass transit.
The fall of Mogadishu to Alshabab, and the whole of the country as well is happening as predicted.
And unfortunately, Kenya will suffer the consequences of it's shortsightedness and corruption.
And this will come to pass, Somalia will be governed by Alshabab, and Kenya will suffer the consequences of its shortsightedness on matters of security?
We all know the enablers, we Kenyans know the terrorists are always part of the resident community, they are enabled, fed, watered, nourished by mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, cousins who are citizens of the Republic of Kenya.
Hawako mbali, wako tu area, ni sisi wakenya tuko waoga in saying enough is enough.
Na ukiona hii pia, jiulize Simba ameambiwa nini akasema atoe kucha.
JICA wakifunga tap sijui itakuwa aje, given that a lot of funding for our graduate programs including exchange programs are hinged on this association.
Anyway, regardless of your station in life, you cannot escape the consequences when greed and gluttony are national hobbies along Denis Prit
You cannot advocate for the same regime that screws you without lube, then come to us with a morality complex.
If u choose to bow down to the devil, seek your blessings from the devil's bossom.
Only God bears the burden of loving us all unconditionally.
Stop thinking mamen.
You cannot abduct someone for representing someone else in court.
The alternative is them gathering a group of friends with weapons and attacking the person they have a dispute with.
Just stop.
Bar talk says it's because the Japanese make treasury open an account in Japan and they pay the contractors etc directly. So no room for inflated costs and such things.
Chinese are willing to dance to any song you play.

Let me repost so that the cooking can continue.
Most third worlders lack civilizational urgency.
If your men in your village cannot build bridges and pathways for your women and children to have an easy life, do not claim to be civilized, monkeys and baboons are probably more civilized and intelligent than you.
Dikidikini village in Eastern Cape, South Africa, doesn't have a bridge, so people cross the river inside a blue plastic drum!!
This is so fkd up
