Before Mike Sonko or Waititu, there was a David Mwenje. Definition of "street-smart" politics. He set the pace of the chaos we see today. Here is a piece I wrote about him.

@MrKipkalya @Capitano774 Funny thing is that, the Bantus were the one's responsible for clearing forests for agricultural purposes, wafugaji would move region to region.

Some context

What I want to do is bring 20 more devs to Nyamarambe, each earning a minimum of 150k a month. Most of them will come from Nairobi. We're also preparing for the next cohort of students in September. By the end of next year, Reduzer alone is going to pump around Ksh 6 million a month through salaries, and I don't want that money going elsewhere. I want it to circulate in this town.

The biggest issue right now is housing, both residential and commercial. My devs are coming from Nairobi, and they're forced to look for decent houses in Kisii or Rongo. They need a good place to stay, nice hotels, entertainment, a good social life which is not here yet.

So I've started renting individual houses and renovating them. It's a proof of concept. I want to show the landlords here what it means to provide decent living, and show them that people are actually willing to pay for it. It's a long shot, but I'm very hopeful, since this is something Reduzer is genuinely interested in

You know the area is protected and you proceed to move in with a drone to shoot a video ?. Environmentalists need to pack their bags on this issue.

We found evidence of construction going on inside the Nairobi National Park but @KWSKenya just confiscated our drone. Currently protests by lobby groups and environmentalists are going on over the construction.

1/2 The Activists Have Had Their Say. Let Us Now also Share Our Version.

Welcome to the New Nairobi Animal Orphanage Experience. Kenya's commitment to wildlife protection is taking a transformative leap forward.

The Kenya Wildlife Service Kenya Wildlife Service is developing a world-class New Nairobi Animal Orphanage and Rescue Centre on an 89-acre site opposite the Bomas of Kenya ( Bomas International Convention Centre) and this move actually strengthens our national park, not weakens it.

First, let's separate fact from fiction, because public discourse demands clarity.

✅️1. What this Actually Is: This is a KWS managed conservation and rescue facility not a commercial development, not a land grab, and not the dismantling of our national heritage. It is a strategic investment in wildlife welfare, veterinary care, rehabilitation, and conservation education, fully overseen by Kenya Wildlife Service and open to the public.

✅️2. The Numbers Don't Lie. The project occupies 89 acres. That represents 0.31% of Nairobi National Park a fraction so small that to suggest the park is being "lost" is to ignore basic arithmetic. The park remains intact, and no conservation land is being removed. The facility underwent proper environmental assessment and received the required regulatory approvals.

✅️3. The Land is Grassland, Not Forest
misinformation claimed an upland forest would be destroyed. The reality is that the site sits on open grassland. Moreover, habitat restoration and revegetation are built into the project design. We're not sacrificing ecosystems we are improving them.

✅️4. A Strategic Hub for Heritage and Conservation. The Bomas site is being developed as part of the broader Bomas International Convention Centre initiative, currently under construction. This state-of-the-art facility will accommodate 10,000 delegates and create a vibrant hub for heritage and conservation that complements both the new orphanage and Kenya's tourism infrastructure.

✅️5. Why Kenya Needs This Now. The existing orphanage, established in 1964, was built for a different era. Today, we face a reality that demands modern solutions. Growing numbers of injured, orphaned, and confiscated wildlife arriving daily; limited veterinary capacity to treat them; insufficient rehabilitation space to prepare them for the wild; and conservation education spaces that can't keep pace with demand.

✅️6. The new facility valued at approximately Ksh 4 billion and more than 20 times larger will deliver state-of-the-art wildlife hospitals, advanced quarantine and nursery facilities, and expansive rewilding zones. Injured animals will have far better chances of survival. Schools will have immersive learning experiences. Kenya's reputation as a global conservation leader will be reinforced.

✅️7. The Site Was Carefully Chosen. Other options were evaluated and rejected. The existing park location due to overcrowding and pressure on indigenous trees; the Southern Bypass because of Wilson Airport noise; and Athi River for being too remote and prohibitively expensive. The Galleria-Bomas location offers optimal space, minimal ecological disruption, excellent connectivity to schools and tourism infrastructure, and synergy with the convention centre.

Ian Henderson led the colonial government operation that led to the capture Dedan Kimathi .
He wrote a book about it.

In the book, he makes it clear that capturing Dedan Kimathi was less about conventional military might and more about solving a massive intelligence problem. According to a CIA review of the book, Kimathi was shielded by an airtight grip on information and an unmatched mastery of the terrain within the dense Aberdare forest. To crack this defence, Henderson’s operation had to pivot completely, relying on four core realities.

First, the colonial forces had to admit that European soldiers were useless trackers in the deep bush. The success of the entire operation hinged on a network of surrendered or captured Mau Mau fighters, alongside Kikuyu police. These turned recruits possessed the jungle craft and intimate knowledge of Kimathi's movements that Henderson’s men simply could not replicate.

This reality forced the second major strategy, which was the use of pseudo-gang tactics. The CIA review notes that Henderson’s real breakthrough came from his ability to persuade former fighters to switch sides. Government-backed teams made up of these turned guerrillas went back into the Aberdares posing as active Mau Mau units, using their insider knowledge to locate and compromise real cells from the inside out

Third, Henderson turned the hunt into a granular study of Kimathi’s personal rituals. Intelligence gathered from the forest revealed that Kimathi regularly prayed, facing Mount Kenya beneath wild fig trees. By mapping these specific spiritual and personal habits, the trackers drastically narrowed their search zone, setting targeted ambushes at the exact landmarks Kimathi was bound to visit.

Finally, the operation was a gruelling war of attrition. Even with the broader Mau Mau movement heavily weakened by 1956, it still took ten agonizing months of constant tracking to corner him. Kimathi’s extreme caution and flawless bushcraft meant there were no shortcuts, making the hunt a slow, exhausting grind through the canopy.
