.@SakajaJohnson and @WilliamsRuto this is what other countries do to their heroes. We want this guy from Kware absorbed in any of the disaster management and response departments and be given a state commendation .
Ifikie President William Ruto na Governor Sakaja.
Malian Immigrant, Mamoudou Gassama climbed four stairs to save a child from falling down from the fourth floor.
He was granted French citizenship and given a job by the Paris Fire Brigade.
Mali's then President Ibrahim Keita offered him the rank of a Captain in the Malian Army.
Roads were closed for the Nairobi City Marathon but somehow there was no space for a peaceful procession calling for the protection of children.
These were citizens speaking on behalf of children who have been killed, abused and others still missing. They were exercising their right to be heard and demanding action on an issue that affects the entire nation.
If we can make room for a marathon, why is it so difficult to make room for voices calling for the safety and protection of our children?

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.
More and more voices are coming out. You know this government still underestimates how tired youths are.
When youths book spaces in morgues before a protest, that is a red flag you should never ignore as a government/regime.
Monkey see, monkey do seems to be the new “culture”.
When traffic rules are ignored daily and impunity becomes the norm, others simply follow suit.
Enforcement creates habits, habits create culture. The absence of enforcement creates a culture of lawlessness.
We do not value human life enough.
Failures @ntsa_kenya hoiyee.

It is sad that over 10 students are feared dead and others injured following the fire outbreak at Utumishi Girls Academy in Gilgil, Nakuru County.
What makes this even more painful is that the school is located near Gilgil Barracks and the NYS Academy.
We mourn with the affected families, students and the entire school community.
These two cases are yet another painful reminder that justice cannot be achieved when investigations are poorly handled, delayed, ignored or compromised from the very beginning.
This is why the country urgently needs a fully functional and well-resourced Sex Crimes Unit dedicated specifically to handling such cases.
Too many cases collapse because evidence is mishandled, reports are ignored, survivors are intimidated or investigations are never pursued thoroughly.
While gender desks exist in many police stations, many survivors continue reporting frustration, inaction, insensitivity and lack of follow-through.
The current system is failing too many survivors/victims and creating room for more abuse, impunity and repeated violence.
@kipmurkomen@NPSOfficial_KE over to you.

Shocking revelation: Nairobi County reportedly spent 20% of its budget on just four lawyers in one year, despite having an existing legal department. How is this possible? Watch the full breakdown here. #NairobiCounty#KenyaPolitics#BudgetCrisis#NairobiNews
This is the girl who was caught by CCTV disappearing with a child.
She had come back to steal onother child when she was caught by residents.
I am wondering why the parents did not first insist on getting their child before handing over the 15 year old girl to police.
Every day, more reports emerge of children going missing, being sexually violated, abused or murdered across the country.
One child missing is too many.
One child violated is too many.
One child murdered is too many.
Protecting children must stop being a side conversation, it is a national emergency.
PROTECT OUR CHILDREN!!
President William Ruto has a message for Arsenal but not for
1. The well-being of Kenyans
2. Fuel crisis
3. High cost of living
4. Missing Children
5. Children being defiled and killed
6. Femicide
Cases of SGBV, femicide and violence against children are skyrocketing by the day.
Because Matatu operators are the ones who have called off the strike, Kenyans MUST REFUSE to pay hiked fares. Since they are the ones in dialogue with the government, they should not pass on the cost of their dialogue to innocent, underpaid and overtaxed Kenyans!
Adan is 62½ years old. The mandatory retirement age for the job he's been given is STRICTLY 60. This is backed by state directives and high court judgments. A term extension is not applicable to a non incumbent. Even then, such an "extension" would contravene the law.
Interestingly the applicant must be aware of this & if he has any integrity (as is expected of a person seeking such a job) he'd not have applied and now that he's against all ethics landed the job, should decline. But we know he will not do such a thing. He will grab the job and still lay claim to possession of the highest integrity. That's how low we have descended. A man desecrating the values of the land while demanding respect.
In civilised countries where such things used to happen, legislators came up with an all-encompassing law declaring all decisions made by an unqualified person null & void. The nullity extends from him to all his subordinates. Thus, appointing such a person renders the institution he heads as impotent as a castrated bull. We should explore that.
