RECEIPTS: A CNN review found that Kenyan police violated their own rules for the use of force in protests outside Parliament. Nairobi police boss Adamson Bungei personally led the operation.
It was the deadliest day for a single demonstration. Who killed these protesters?
Tomorrow marks two years since young Kenyans who stood up against political tyranny were killed for it. Many others were maimed. They are living scars of our brutal political system.
Two things must be clear as we commemorate June 25th: First, the right to peaceful assembly and to picket is constitutional. The government is duty-bound to respect and protect it. It should not unleash goons or interfere. Second, government officials must desist from threatening citizens who are organising to exercise their rights and remember their departed loved ones. Kenyans, killed in 2024 and 2025, deserve justice.
Accountability must be followed with appropriate compensation and permanent memorialization. Cobbling together sham compensation is not justice.
Kenyans must be allowed to exercise their democratic rights, and never again should we witness abductions or forced disappearances.
Enough.
Tuonane kesho!

🚨 Cristiano Ronaldo: “I’m the most complete player EVER. To say that Cristiano isn’t complete is a lie”.
“You may prefer Pele, Messi, Maradona, I understand and respect that”.
In the end you do not end up with the people you love. You end up with the ones who choose to stay. And staying, my friend, has nothing to do with love
Kenya hosts millions of them from South Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Rwanda, Burundi and even Nigeria yet we don't go about beating them on the streets.

I honestly don’t think we’re ready for this Eastleigh conversation.
Few Observations,.
You buy something in the majority of those shops and they want cash. If you don’t have cash, they have their own MPesa agents they tell you to withdraw from. They then make a quick call to the agent to confirm the withdrawal before releasing your goods.
That way, they never have to explain their cash flow, but you may one day have to explain yours to the taxman.
We’re talking about a multi billion shilling industry with very little transparency, accountability or visibility into how money moves.
And as long as they remain the middlemen, pay zero tax, sell “counterfeit goods” the government is comfortable
But how dare you use the same business model, open your own wholesale operation and bring your own goods through the port?…..
@Kibet_bull@Ademba_47 I only have a problem with them if it's matters to do with immigration laws. Not about them working if they have Kenyan IDs or Passports there's definitely a problem we have to deal with but if it's about them working I don't think we should go the SA way
