For my latest with the Common Reader Journal. I write about how Modern African Literature Confronts the Constraints of the Global Politics of Reading. https://t.co/xqgwlQY29Y
Murkomen got the mic as the Interior CS, and the first thing he says is the protests were political and had nothing to do with the hiked fuel prices. We indeed have irredeemable, incurable nincompoops in very high places. Khabusie!
Someone called this a devil-worshipping regime, and honestly, the way they keep responding to public pain with more brutality makes you understand why people speak like that. More and more blood, keeps oiling them!
Expect them to spread fear, and terror.
Wait for them to divide the matatu industry.
And when eventually they are forced to lower the cost of fuel, expect the news to come from the Messiah-in-Chief.
The politics of death always employs a resurrector
But some corpses are stubborn
Never forget that @WilliamsRuto & his corrupt regime will always KILL Kenyans for demanding better. Always.
That enough is reason for him to go to jail, not home. Shame on EVERYONE supporting him starting with you @JohnMbadiN!

Mbadi’s arrogance is clearly coming from the confidence and support he’s getting from the BOTTOM UP president😂
You can already imagine how those group chats and calls sound behind the scenes,
“Hawa wajinga wamechoka, hakuna kitu watatufanyia. Kelele ya siku mbili tatu then wakumbuke wako na loans, warudi kazi haraka sana.”
And honestly, where are the pigs we call Members of Parliament?
Watch this administration carefully and you’ll realize they already believe Kenyans are too exhausted, divided and economically cornered to genuinely fight for their rights.
The fact that you lean into a useful idea does not mean you owe the author a handshake, a cup of tea, your leisure time.
The only thing you owe the owner of a borrowed thought is a footnote.
Scholarship is not friendship.
No need to meet someone you regularly walked past at uni.
This is painful to watch!
Albert Ojwang’s mother says sometimes she thinks her son is still in Mombasa. She walks outside hoping to see him come through the gate, only to see his grave.
Albert was the one that provided for her. Since he was murdered, life has gotten really hard for her. There are days she has slept without food.
She says the jobs wakina Sakaja promised her, never came through.
To this very day, the government has never told Kenyans what was this serious crime Albert Ojwang committed that Senior police officers had to be sent to pick him from his father’s home, not even allowed to have one last meal with his people, and ferried to be killed in Nairobi.
How can any parent listening to her still shout “Tutam”?
And the Luo politicians, after being bought cheaply, decided praising those who killed Albert Ojwang is more important than seeking justice for him.
May earth grant justice to the family of Albert Ojwang and those other Kenyans the UDA government has killed.
Pole sana Mama!
