What happened to that Kenyan taxi driver in Qatar is barbaric, unacceptable, and a painful reminder of what our people go through every single day in the Gulf. A man simply trying to earn a living was assaulted so violently that he nearly lost his life. This is not “misconduct,” this is attempted murder and it must be condemned without hesitation.
According to the dash-cam footage, the assault began after the Kenyan driver rejected an inappropriate advance from his passenger. Instead of accepting a clear “no,” the attacker grabbed him in a rear-neck chokehold that almost strangled him. The vehicle veered, nearly crashing, and that driver survived only by instinct and grace. No one should face death simply because they refused unwanted behavior.
Cases like this often disappear into silence. The systems in those countries have a long history of protecting their own whenever foreigners demand justice. And our own government? It has perfected the art of shifting blame, offering excuses, and pretending they are powerless. Kenyans abroad bleed, scream, and die and Nairobi drafts statements instead of solutions.
Our people in the Gulf are surviving conditions that no human being should ever be subjected to. Some are overworked. Some are abused. Some live like prisoners in employer homes. And when they rush to embassies for help, they find officials too busy enjoying diplomatic comfort to lift a finger. The suffering is real, but the offices meant to protect them are deserted when it matters.
Let’s not forget the shameful truth: our Head of State negotiated the weakest, most humiliating labor terms for Kenyans in the Gulf. He goes on and on in speeches about Singapore, Japan, Korea, Malaysia yet refuses to explain why a Kenyan doing the same job as a Malaysian or Filipino earns 35,000 while others earn 55,000–60,000. That gap is not an accident; it is a failure of leadership.
And that so-called Kazi Majūu project? It was nothing but smoke and slogans. Kenyans have died in Saudi Arabia from depression, abuse, negligence, sexual assault and the same ministry that promised protection cannot even bring bodies home with dignity. Families cry; the government shrugs.
What hurts even more is how victims are mocked instead of defended. When Kenyans raise complaints about mistreatment, the same officials responsible for their welfare call them “mannerless,” “problematic,” or “undisciplined.” So people suffer twice first abroad, then again when their own leaders insult them for begging for help.
And to those who think this is tribal banter whether the victim is Kalenjin, Kikuyu, Luo, Luhya, Somali, Meru understand this clearly: poverty, desperation, and exploitation do not check tribe before they strike. These are the jobs the president tells our youth to take, and when violence follows, no protection is offered. Only excuses. Only silence.
I condemn this attack. I condemn the wider injustice. Kenyans are not disposable. Our people do not deserve violent abuse abroad and indifference at home. Until our government defends its citizens with the same energy it uses to defend its image, this cycle of suffering will continue and every death, every assault, every broken family will sit squarely on the conscience of those in power who chose to look away.
@dom_lucre Do they all agree with worship about the same God? The Bible is used used in all the three religions. One of them is still stuck in Torah, but the second one is stuck mid-air till now they have not decided what book they have, 20% Torah and less than 5% Gospel.
@MasterMaliq@SloanRusset How do you correct what you don't have "an original" copy. Quran has no gospel. But again I know your line of argument: to agree with anything that agrees with rantings and hallucinations of a lunatic who doesn't know if it was indeed God who spoke to him or not.
🚨BREAKING:🚨POPE LEO ACCUSED OF COVERING UP CRIMES COMMITTED BY FELLOW PRIESTS - A former priest colleague of WOKE Pope Leo has come forward with EXPLOSIVE CLAIMS that during his time in the priesthood, Leo had direct knowledge and evidence of both SEXUAL AND FINANCIAL CRIMES that were occurring in both his church and sister churches as a part of the MAJOR SEX ABUSE SCANDAL that rocked The Vatican but instead of reporting the crimes to authorities, Leo actively COVERED THEM UP to protect the reputation of the church. In return, now Pope Leo was rewarded by The Vatican by continuing to move up the ladder of wealth, power and influence to eventually get to where he is today. Allegations have also emerged that Pope Leo is a close friend of the political and global elite and actually visited Epstein Island MULTIPLE TIMES. This is an ABSOLUTE BOMBSHELL... No wonder he hates President Trump so much. It appears that we not only have a WOKE Pope... Perhaps a more appropriate nickname is POPE PEDO PROTECTOR! What do you think fellow patriots?📢🔥🇺🇸
@Eze_Wilberforce Nobody appreciates the fact that Christians don't pray for Israel because they worship them, it's beautiful God has attached blessings to Israel and their denial of Jesus made salvation to belong to the whole world. If they deny Jesus or not, it's God who judges them.
@Dr_AustinOmondi Politicians n politic seem powerful because here where you see them triumph is their strong hold. Scriptures say Satan was thrown on earth, he's aggressive because he's little time left. He has impacted on many causing them to lose grip on spirituality, a connection to God.
@TheresaArueyin1 There was a time I urgently wanted a particular amount of KShs and I was unable to borrow, so I wanted to go to the bank to get it. As I was waiting for the bus to drop me, I saw money, on the ground, picked and counted, and it was exact amount I needed.
@Kibet_bull According to human standards but not God's. God is not the problem, it's humans, you can't refuse to do what is right because many do it wrongly!!!
