Kenya’s war on traditional alcohol: A colonial hangover about what it means to be ‘civilised’

https://t.co/GYNsAeEYWJ

[KTN News @KTNNewsKE]

At the dawn of Kenya’s colonial era in 1902, consumption of home-made alcohol was deeply embedded in society. For instance, among the Mijikenda of coastal Kenya, palm wine was integral (p.290) to traditional ceremonies, such as marriage and initiations, and in ritual offerings.

This partly explains why the colonial authorities did not consider prohibiting African home-made liquors.

[The Conversation Africa @TC_Africa]

Who gets to decide which traditions are “civilised” — and which are criminalised? Across Africa, debates around traditional alcohol reveal deeper tensions around culture, class and colonial legacy.

Dear Kenyans, SAY HIS NAME!!!

What exactly happened to Albert Ojwang?
This popular X influencer was picked up by DCI in Migori on Saturday, transported to Nairobi, and booked at Central Police Station. By Sunday morning, he was dead. Police claim he “injured himself” overnight..!???????

We demand answers. This death cannot be swept under the rug. How many more young lives must we lose to this rotten system??

Let me remind you, when we lose our fear, they lose their power…please use whatever platform you can to demand for answers!!

@DCI_Kenya we need answers..

[Eastern African Literary & Cultural Studies @EALCS_Journal]

Literary Giant. There's only one person that has been bestowed this name in our literary history as we know it. Today we honour a life we've co-lived in books we've read and words we've shared, in stories we were told and in the stories we tell.
Ngugi wa Thiong'o, go well.
