When Mumias Sugar Collapsed the entire economy around it also collapsed.

Frame 1: These dilapidated one-roomed houses is where sugarcane truck drivers lived. Those who remained behind are now living in squalor.

Frame 2: This was a very active commercial centre inside the complex, just a few meters from the factory. Here, there was:

- Post Office

- Bus Booking offices, in fact, Easy Coach parked here all the way from Nairobi.

- Police Station

- Shops, the first Mumias M-Pesa in 2007, were set up here.

- Nation had an active courier shop here.

Frame 3: These are offices of Asians who were contracted to transport cane. They owned hundreds of trucks and tractors. The place is now a shell.

Frame 4: Former employees of the company have resorted to doing menial jobs like burning charcoal to make a living.

Fuck you, Kidero.

This shows how people are tired of the government and its people.

Sudan court sentences RSF leader Hemedti to death https://t.co/ag1gdutk5R

We need to wake up to reality…

[Faith Odhiambo @FaithOdhiambo8]

Kenya is not dealing with random criminals, I refuse to join such a chorus. We are dealing with a procurement system of violence with well known politicians as the buyers while the unemployed Kenyans are the commodity trading impunity as their currency!

The goons and criminal gangs have been allowed to run a parallel economy with well known buyers and sellers; until we prosecute the buyers, the market remains open!

As Civil Society Organizations, we will not fall under the pressure of such coercion and intimidation. We will call out these ills for what they are; outright defiance against our Constitution.

I stand with @dianagichengo, @TISAKenya and the entire Civil Society community.

THE SHYLOCK NEXT DOOR

You would never let someone use your ID to borrow money from a Shylock, then expect you to repay the loan. You would call it THEFT.

So why are we so quiet when it happens to our country?

Kenya’s public debt now stands at about KSh 12.8 trillion. This year, about 91 percent of the taxes we collect will go to paying debt, not improving hospitals, schools, roads, or supporting counties.

We feel it every day through higher taxes, delayed county funding, delayed and reduced capitation, struggling public services, and fewer development projects.

Debt is not the problem. Debt without clear results is.

Every Kenyan is paying for these loans. Every Kenyan has the right to ask one simple question.

What did we borrow all this money for?

Your name is on the bill. Your voice should be part of the conversation.

[Willis Evans Otieno @otienowill]

What are they afraid of? If the borrowing was lawful, transparent, and every shilling can be accounted for, then a public hearing should not be feared.

Kenyans should not be compelled to shoulder debts that are found to have been incurred unlawfully or misappropriated. Those who authorized illegal borrowing or stole public funds should be held personally accountable. The burden of corruption must not be transferred to ordinary citizens who never benefited from it.

Accountability is not a threat to government, it is the foundation of constitutional governance.

A Sudanese court has sentenced Rapid Support Forces (RSF) commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, widely known as Hemedti and 15 others , to death in absentia after finding them guilty of crimes linked to violence in West Darfur, including the killing of the state's former governor, Khamis Abdallah Abakar.

An international arrest warrant, a RED notice and a bounty on top would be make this such a beautiful conundrum for Kenya.

He is not incompetent. He is a criminal.

I am yet to personally meet a Kenyan who genuinely supports William Ruto.

This is to spin a narrative to create a “We are not sure who really won” situation. “You see he even won the opinion polls”.

Psychology tupu!

[Wanjira Maina @LegisLady]

We haven’t grasped how deep the internal security crisis in the country is because we use words that mask its intensity, such as “goons” and “insecurity”.
So what if we called it what it is, “state-organized armed militia”, “state-funded terrorism”, “state-sponsored violence”?

[Gitz  @Gitz__]

You guys orchestrate violence & then pretend to be shocked like the rest of us.

[Pauline Njoroge @paulinenjoroge]

“This is the lowest we have sunk as a country, that goons can go brandishing weapons, bows, arrows and pangas openly in public, marching in the streets to go attack a congregation in church or people who are just exercising their freedom of assembly…”
