Dear Edwin, we can’t have the Senator of Nairobi tweeting like the rest of us while our literal lives are at stake, you are an elected official and act accordingly. File an urgent motion, take some action.
Act presidentially if you want to win our confidence.

There's a whole industry built around African poverty. NGOs, consultants, conferences, awareness campaigns, celebrity endorsements. 

Billions of dollars flow through this system every year, employing thousands of well-paid Westerners.

None of those people have an incentive for the problem to actually be solved, because if African poverty disappeared tomorrow, they'd all need new jobs. 

I'm not saying they're evil. 

I'm saying the incentive structure is broken, and incentives shape behavior more than intentions do.

[Observation is not a... @ErekoRex]

Namibia just wiped out its IMF debt. Powerful statement.

A few more notes: They also cleared a $750 million Eurobond in Oct 2025 (drew down reserves, but still bold), launched a $30M sovereign wealth fund (Welwitschia Fund) to invest oil/mineral revenues for future generations, and IMF still warns of fiscal pressures—but this is about breaking dependency, not perfection.

Freedom isn't easy. 🇳🇦

[New Direction AFRICA @Its_ereko]

🇳🇦 BREAKING: Namibia just paid off its entire IMF debt. Zero balance. $23.8 million repaid. No new loans. No new conditions. Freedom.

While other nations drown in IMF austerity, Namibia walked out. No more structural adjustment. No more neoliberal lectures. No more foreign control over economic policy.

This is what sovereignty looks like. Paying your debts. Refusing new ones. Charting your own path.

Namibia is free. Other African nations should take notes.

Question for the timeline: Which African country should be next to tell the IMF goodbye?

For ONE year, a 42-year-old patient visited our hospital with alternating diarrhea, constipation, and occasional rectal bleeding. From Day 1, we advised a colonoscopy. He refused every time, convinced his symptoms were just from 'spicy food.'

​He was recently diagnosed with advanced colon cancer.

​Please don't ignore persistent bowel changes. The traditional age group for colorectal cancer is shifting younger. Early screening saves lives

The only acceptable reason to have kids is that you want to nurture and care for another being.
That's it. That's all of the good reasons. Not because you want someone to take care of you in your old age, not because you want them to take on a certain career, to give you grandkids, to further your religion. None of that. To bring a child into this world with expectations makes it unethical to have one, it lays the foundation for emotional blackmail; as in, 'I brought you into this world and raised you, had you for this reason so give me that happiness'. No one owes you anything for the things you do out of your own will for your own sake, not even your children.

Whoever came up with KPLC's standard operating procedure was pure evil. You go to Kenya Power and tell them you want them to supply power; they make you buy the post, wire, and meter. They then tell you that those things you just bought are now the property of Kenya Power. They then charge you a fee to come and connect you to the grid. Then they make you wait for months. When you think they're done, just like major, they hit you with another banger: they randomly switch off power and don't shout at them. It must be nice 😊.

What an ordeal. This seems like a hospital where a lot of things could go wrong(negligence, mixups). People should reconsider seeking treatment from this hospital.

[Vivianne @Rixviv]

For a month+ I have done all pre-procedure tests at @MPShahhospital in preparation for an operation scheduled for 23rd Jan 2026 at 7:30AM.
In Dec I did a pelvic MRI at the hospital. The machine went off for 15mins while I was inside...

[Mwende @mwende_kyalo_]

This!!
Also, in that field of study, was that the most pressing thing to be researched?

For example, they funded endometriosis research, but instead of searching for a cure or pain reliever for women first, they studied how endometriosis affects men in those women's lives

There’s a big part of me that honestly believes we deserve everything we get from these politicians. Because how do we keep watching the same people mess this country over and over again and still act surprised?

We have a generation that’s too comfortable letting Gen Zs fight for the country while they sit and comment from a distance. How are you in your late 30s, 40s, 50s okay watching your children or younger siblings fight battles for problems you helped create? You voted for thieves, defended them, campaigned for them, and when they get back in office you act like victims.

Look at what’s happening right now. Our lecturers are on strike. Students are stranded. Campuses are falling apart. But a whole CS is in another country praising their universities and lecturers as if ours don’t exist. How disconnected can you be?

Our healthcare system is collapsing. Hospitals have no medicine, doctors and nurses are exhausted and underpaid. When these politicians fall sick or want to give birth, they fly out for treatment instead of fixing the same hospitals they destroyed. They go to countries whose hospitals were built by LEADERS who cared about their people.

We have MPs passing harmful laws that directly affect the same people who voted for them. They show up, collect allowances, and disappear until the next campaign season. And still, we say “tutawafundisha lesson next election.” How many lessons have we taught so far?

Then there’s the Kenyan middle class. The most delusional ones, the ones who think national issues don’t concern them. As long as they have Wi-Fi, their kids are in private schools, and they can drive to work, everything else is “noise.” They don’t realize that the same system they ignore will come for them too :when taxes rise, when school fees double, when the economy finally collapses and insecurity rises due to lack of jobs for the “common” mwananchi…

We can’t keep outsourcing courage from Gen Z. Every generation that stays silent makes it worse for the next one. This habit of saying “minding my own business” is why nothing changes. Because those who created the mess never stay to clean it up.

And before we complain again, here’s the truth we actually have power, we just don’t use it.
We can recall MPs who betray the people, but we never do!! That’s why they’re comfortable saying they want to copy this and this from China coz they know you guys aint shit.. We can demand accountability, but we don’t..We can organize locally, but we wait for someone else to start

If we were serious, we’d start showing up for public meetings, asking questions, and refusing to clap for politicians who don’t deliver. We’d rebuild civic awareness and stop acting like politics ends at voting. We’d stand with those who are fighting instead of mocking them. And we’d vote with memory , not tribe, not token, not empty promises.

Because if nothing changes, one day your child will ask you what you did when this country was falling apart and silence won’t be a good enough answer.

For me, I will continue using my platforms no matter what 🚶🏾‍♀️🚶🏾‍♀️
