Madharau: What Kenyan institutions do to Kenyans.
Madharau in a suit and as a system is more efficient than fraud. It does not need to steal from you. It just needs to make the cost of not being stolen from higher than you can afford.
A Shofar being blown during Rhema Festival in Nairobi.A shofar is an ancient musical horn made from the hollowed-out horn of a kosher animal, most commonly a ram, though horns from goats, sheep, or greater kudus are also used. It is one of the oldest known wind instruments and holds profound religious and historical significance.

Precious Blood Riruta threatens my child!!!
Yesterday I returned my Form 4 daughter to Precious Blood Secondary School, Riruta. I have no school fees balance. I paid the Term 3 fees of KSh 15,744 via M-Pesa (Ref UHPL849W91) on 25 August 2026. Yet the school is demanding an extra KSh 30,000 for “Academic Support Classes / remedials.”
When I asked the Principal clear questions, she refused to answer. Instead she called my daughter and threatened her in front of me. The child broke down crying. She was told she will not be allowed into morning preps or evening “kesha” if the money is not paid.
I am a single mother of three school-going children. Cash is extremely tight. I speak for many parents in the same position.
Here are the questions that still have no answers:
What exactly is the KSh 30,000 “remedial / academic support” fee for? What lessons, which teachers, what materials, what measurable outcomes? Parents are entitled to a clear breakdown before any extra levy is imposed.
Earlier this year parents paid an extra KSh 10,000. What was that money used for? Was it also for “extra” support? Why is another large bill appearing now?
A class of ~50 students × KSh 30,000 = KSh 1.5 million per stream. With five streams that is approximately KSh 7.5 million. Who receives this money? How much reaches the teachers who are supposed to deliver the extra tuition? Where is the audited statement?
Why must the money go through a private Paybill and then to the class representative instead of the official school fees account and the bursar? Who owns and controls that Paybill? Legitimate school funds should be receipted through the school’s official accounts.
Capitation and normal school fees already exist. If the government support is insufficient, why is the shortfall being recovered through opaque extra levies that parents are not allowed to question?
Parents who raise legitimate questions risk their children being locked out of revision time. That is not education; that is coercion. What happens to the child whose parent is genuinely unable to pay or is on a bursary?
Boarding school is supposed to give students access to classrooms for supervised study after formal lessons. Denying a Form 4 student morning preps and evening revision because a parent questioned an unexplained fee is punitive and unsafe.
I left my daughter there yesterday under threat. Her mental safety now worries me more than any exam. I am prepared to withdraw her for her own protection if this is the atmosphere she must endure.
Relevant authorities, child-protection bodies, education officials, and advocates: this needs scrutiny. Opaque levies, threats against children, and silencing of parents have no place in a public secondary school.
Parents should never have to choose between their child’s safety and an unexplained bill. Transparency is not optional. Accountability is not optional.

The first time I ever fought with a man was in the market.
He touched me inappropriately, I reacted, and we got into a scuffle. I knew there was no way I was going to win that f!ght, so I s@nk my teeth into his ch3st.
It was tough, but I dvg in and held on. It took several people to pull me away from him.
And since then, I’ve abided by one principle: If you can’t beat them, e@t them.
I knew Kenyan mediocrity came from British colonialism, but the stupidity and hysteria of the British around the Jason Arday tragedy has made me appreciate that link at a whole new level. Especially the political violence we're seeing. Like Britain, Kenya is also a very class conscious and anti-intellectual society, which we cover up by being a very, very loud country with a political class and civil service that ignores us.

We won't send the Kenyan political class to jail.
We will accord them the same treatment as they did Rex Masai, Eric Shieni, Beasley Kogi, Denzel Omondi, Bridgit Njoki and all the fallen patriots.

Even now w no access, just serikali ya Jambazi's mouth watering @ pensions & sacco deposits, pensioners are still dying not having received a single cent.
Now, you can only imagine what'd happen if Kenya Kwisha got access to these funds merely weeks to its unceremonious toppling.
