“You may be 38 years old, as I happen to be. And one day, some great opportunity stands before you and calls you to stand up for some great principle, some great issue, some great cause. And you refuse to do it because you are afraid.
You refuse to do it because you want to live longer.
You’re afraid that you will lose your job, or you are afraid that you will be criticized or that you will lose your popularity, or you’re afraid that somebody will stab you, or shoot at you or bomb your house; so you refuse to take the stand.
Well, you may go on and live until you are 90, but you’re just as dead at 38 as you would be at 90. And the cessation of breathing in your life is but the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.
What people think about you is not your problem and it certainly doesn’t pay your bills.
True peace is acting as you want without fear of judgment from strangers who matter not.
~Let them judge you.
~Let them misunderstand you.
~Let them talk trash about you.
You become unbeatable when you,
~Invest in a career to enhance income.
~Invest in skills for relevance and opportunity.
~Invest in assets for financial stability.
~Invest in yourself for a well-rounded and fulfilling life.
~Invest in people for belonging and networking.
ZAKAYO!!
It is said ability can get you to the TOP, but it takes CHARACTER to keep you there!
Your ability to propagate propaganda, to lie while putting a straight face and deceiving people consistently got you there, but your unpleasant Character is bringing you down at a high speed.
JUST RESIGN!!

For Tinashe, being navigated by her mother is an amazing experience. “We get to share something that we both enjoy and build that bond while I also learn as much as I can from my mother’s multi-year experience in the sport, “Tina says. For Caroline, navigating for her daughter is a blend of pride and serious business. Read their story here:https://t.co/FQ5lWwNksi

Mama I made it!
I occupied Parliament
Remember the #occupyParliament demonstrations?
But tell daddy I’m sorry
I won’t come home tonight
Not because I’m spending at a friends’. No!
Not because I’m among the injured.
No!
Nor because I was abducted as they have to most of us.
That would have been better
I’m in a cold dark place called the morgue Mama
I know daddy will be angry why I wore his shoes
I had to, I know they are bigger but I had to
Otherwise no one could have.
I know he will complain that I have read too much political novels
Please don’t let him blame Animal Farm,
Don’t let him blame Kidagaa Kimemwozea,
Don’t let him blame Tumbo Lisiloshiba,
Don’t let him blame Kifo Kisimani,
Don’t let him blame Mstahiki Meya,
Or Parliament of Owls
They can’t be blamed.
I did it for Our country.
They hailed us for being fearless Mama!
They called it an historic moment; actually unprecedented.
Did you watch the news?
All over the country thousands of us matched forward, wearing mostly black,
chanting slogans and singing revolutionary songs.
They call us GenZ Mama.
Some Mpigs say we have watched too much Netflix and we eat KFC.
Sorry for the spelling mistakes Mama,
I meant MPs.
Did you see how we sang ‘Kudade’ with Mc Gogo?
Did you see how Juliani turned up and we sang ‘Utawala’?
That song you call ‘Nikoo njaa siwezi karanga’?
Did you hear us sing ‘Tujiangalie’by Sauti Sol?
Have you seen King Kaka’s ‘ Wanataka Kutumaliza’?
Did you see how Mulamwah gave us Tea and Mandazi?
Have you seen all the comedians, Content creators and influencers?
I told you it will be Big Mama!
We matched forward Mama Slowly and peacefully Like you told me
We said we were peaceful
They rattled us with teargas and water canons Mama
We coughed, cried and chocked to the smoke but still matched on
We matched amidst the sting of that pink water they sprayed on us with those beastly vehicles
But nothing was more painful than hearing them pass that draconian punitive Bill Mama.
Remember how you used to forcefully give us porridge by locking us between your legs, pinching our noses then pouring a tone of porridge in our forcibly opened mouth?
Leaving us with two choices; swallowing or choking to death?
That’s what they did to us yesterday Mama
But unlike in the past, today’s child chose the latter; death!
We approached the parliament as promised.
We eventually occupied Parliament Mama
Albeit briefly.
The wall gave in and we entered.
I’m sorry I did not taste the rice
As some did Mama
All I tasted was the bullets Mama
They sprayed me with bullets Mama,
That’s why i won’t come home.
My battle is over Mama
But not the revolutionary war.
Always remember that this document has been the SHIELD and DEFENDER of Kenyans.
Despite politicians mutilating it to feed their egocentric appetites, this document has stood for citizens.
Politicians would have committed worse atrocities than what we have witnessed before, but this document has stood in their way.
Therefore, no matter how much self-serving politicians disregard the law, loot public resources, and abet the killing of Kenyans,
They will face the consequences of their actions.
No matter how long it takes. Even if it takes 50 years.
The politicians defiling this constitution might hide in ambulances and tunnels,
- might dance and gyrate after looting taxes,
- might clench their fists and mock citizens,
- might laugh at the tears of citizens,
- might celebrate the bloodbath metted on citizens,
But,
They will all be prosecuted, judged, and punished according to our supreme laws.
Every politician will carry personal responsibility.
Therefore, if you are a politician, think about the consequences of your actions.
You are Killing the Youth For Condemning Corruption in Your Government
You are abducting the People For Standing Up For Their Rights
You are arresting the Youth For Calling Out Your Lies
You are taking us incommunicado for fighting for our Future
WE WILL NOT FORGET!!
The government has deployed plainclothes police who KHRC witnessed firing tear gas into a crowd of peaceful protesters. They are moving around in an unmarked car. Police must always be identifiable by wearing an official uniform and displaying their badges.
