@WilliamsRuto How do you go to sleep knowing you have killed peaceful citizens asking for accountability? We thought you would at least change after the murders you did in the 2007/2008 post election violence! @charlruto how does it feel to have a murderer as a father?#RutoMustGo

[Dr. John Njenga Karugia PhD. @johnnjenga]

The current generation of government and opposition politicians, and security agencies elites and officers in Kenya grew up witnessing the terrible impact of tribal clashes, political goonism and elections violence upon Kenya and Kenyans. No lessons learned. I cry for Kenya. ⚖️

[BRAVIN YURI @BravinYuri]

I am not worried about Kenya in 2022. I am extremely worried for Kenya Post 2022 because a Ruto presidency post 2022 looks like it's inevitable and Ruto isn't someone you'd want to give a country to lead.

[Kel @ambitious_Kel]

@WilliamsRuto Dear Kenyans, this is all a distraction.

[Stay Hidden @Stay_Hidden0]

What have they done that cannot be done with a female MP?

Do we have No. 1 Girl and No.1 Boy in regular exams? We just have the No.1 best student; why should politics be different?

Can you list at least 3 bills, authored or sponsored by any Women Rep in the last 15 years of devolution that empowered the Girl Child directly?

If being a female is not being disabled, why reserve a seat like they're special? If what a man or a woman can do better, let's meet at the MP/Senator/Governor/President. By having a separate seat, we’re basically saying women aren't strong enough to beat men in a regular election. That’s not empowerment; it’s an insult.

If you need surgery, you don't look for a "Woman Surgeon" or a "Man Surgeon"—you look for the best surgeon. In Parliament, we need the best leaders.

Kenya spends ~KES 1.1 billion annually on salaries and allowances for the 47 Women Reps.

The KES 1 Billion spent annually on Woman Reps could buy 250,000 school desks every year.

One year of Woman Rep salaries could pay for 100,000 dialysis sessions for kidney patients. For many Kenyans, this is the difference between life and death.

[Author Sakwah Ongoma @CSakwah]

The story of NdidI Nyoro and the MPs who missed parliament on the Finance Bill voting day should teach us that not participating in an election has the same consequences as voting for bad leaders and bills.

We have gone to the same schools

We have gone to the same Universities

We have received the same education

And now We are in the same job market

But even so,

You expect me to have more money than you so that I can fund your lifestyle because im a man

Are you mad!?

[The People’s President @bonifacemwangi]

Kenyan police only respect a particular skin colour, or a person’s status based on their proximity to power or wealth. They would rush to arrest a black man (a retired Chief Justice), rather than touch a white person or an Indian. Yesterday’s protest had white, Indian, and black people - all citizens of this country. Yet, when the police decided to arrest the protestors, they went for the kind of people the Kenyan police is trained to beat, shoot, and sometimes arrest. Black people. The Indian and white people were allowed to return peacefully back to their homes.

One of my mentees, who is Indian, had been working for weeks to mobilise for yesterday’s protest. He went to the people who frequently visit Nairobi National Park daily - the ones who own lodges, hotels and tour vans, the ones who have published photography books with beautiful images of the park and sell prints of the photos they take - but they refused to stand against the destruction of Nairobi National Park.

Even without building the controversial parking lot, Nairobi National Park is already dying. Uhuru ignored all reason and built a railway through the park. The unchecked urban encroachment and the loss of crucial wildlife migration corridors, driven by human settlements and industries in areas such as Kitengela, Athi River, and Rongai, have been slowly killing the park.

And not only are they building a parking lot, but they also want to build a new state-of-the-art orphanage in the park, which they cite as justification for the parking lot. They want to take away healthy, pristine, and wild land to put up buildings and enclosures to hold wild animals for people to come and gape at. Orphanages are meant to rehabilitate and rewild animals. Not to commercialise wildlife viewing in a country with numerous parks. Roughly 11% to 16% of Kenya's total land area - roughly 9 million hectares – comprises parks and wildlife conservancies. In addition, the current Nairobi orphanage is so badly run and neglected. People who can’t manage a bird cage want to build a big zoo.

No sane architect would design a KSh 30 billion convention centre without considering parking spaces, but that’s what Bomas International Convention Complex has done, so that Ruto can use that excuse to grab a bit of Nairobi National Park. But I digress. I am writing this with complete sincerity as someone who has friends and supporters from all races and communities in Kenya and around the world.

Yesterday’s arrest of only black people at the march also speaks to the huge racial divide that exists in the minds of the officers on the ground and those above them about arresting brown and white people.

The trade union in Kenya was started by an Indian, Makhan Singh, who was imprisoned by the British colonial government. Makhan Singh served 11 years in political detention, the longest in Kenya's pre-independence history. There is the Vidyarthi family, who used their printing press to advocate for black and Indian rights during the colonial days, and supported pro-democracy movements during the Moi dictatorship days. There is Eruch Nowrojee, a lawyer who represented the Mau Mau fighters, and his son Senior Counsel Pheroze Nowrojee, who fought for democracy, justice and represented political dissidents. His daughter Binaifer Nowrojee is in the trenches promoting democracy and human rights globally.

Tired of corruption and bad governance, a white Kenyan, Dr Richard Leakey, founded the Safina Party in 1995 alongside Senior Counsel Paul Muite. The name, which means "Ark" in Swahili, was intended to symbolize a rescue mission for Kenya’s political and economic systems. It was a medical doctor and Human Rights activist Ling Kituyi, a Norwegian-Kenyan, who founded the Independent Medico-Legal Unit (IMLU), an organisation that was founded to treat Kenyans who were brutalised, shot or tortured during the Moi days. They were dedicated then, and to date, to preventing and responding to torture, extrajudicial killings, and related human rights violations. It’s IMLU who provided the experts and forensic doctors to document my torture injuries from Tanzania.

However, the majority of the grandchildren of the Kenyan Indians and white Kenyan settlers who have the wealth and power to support change, cover their eyes and ears and remain quiet when injustice happens. Where has that spirit gone? Have comfort, privilege and resources diluted the courageous blood that ran through the veins of their forefathers? If we're in this mess, aren't we all supposed to be in it together?

Some of them own and run sweatshops in industrial area, where most of their employees are casual labourers, a workforce that forms the majority of slum dwellers. They’re the ones running flower farms that pay employees peanuts, while earning billions and living lavishly, while their employees are getting miscarriages and other complications.

They control the luxury hotel industry, owning lodges and conservancies that charge thousands of dollars, while the local communities lack clean water or school libraries. They’re not willing to work with local communities to fight the bad governance which causes abject poverty but, instead, give politicians and their cronies company shares for “political protection.”

In 2022, a leading presidential candidate collected Ksh 2 billion in a single day from the Indian business community. People were lining up at his office carrying duffel bags full of cash. They would meet with the candidate for 2-5 minutes, say which company they represented and how much was in the bag, and the candidate would note the amount and company so he would know whom he owed favours in the future, and the size of that favour.

Like in all communities, I understand that there are people who contribute tirelessly from behind the scenes to the progress of our country. I am sure there are many who prefer to work in the safety of silence but, unfortunately, we live in a country where silence is deemed as weakness and that weakness is then exploited.

The reason I bring this out is that the silence of the wealthy minority - the black Kenyans who have made it, the Indian and white community - will not save them. You can get private security, private schools, and afford the best lawyers, but when a government goes rogue, no amount of money will save you. When billionaires can be abducted, and board members get charged on flimsy grounds for refusing a hostile takeover, you’re not safe. It’s only a matter of time before someone in power decides they want to take what you have by force, and they will even have you murdered, if it comes to that.

Four of the top five richest people in Kenya are Kenyan Indians, according to a 2022 Oxfam report. It’s time they, together with white Kenyans, joined the frontline in fighting for our rights. Going by the shameful police behaviour yesterday, they will not get arrested if they lead a protest or two. June 25th 2026, is a day of remembrance for the Gen Z heroes that we lost, and we would like to see the two races that are minorities in Kenya - but have more wealth, power, and influence - take part in the protest.

At the end of the day, yesterday's protest was not about colour or status, even though the actions of the police stated so. The protest was about protecting the Nairobi National Park. A National Park belongs to the people! All people, of all colours. Just like our country does. So, let's act like it and stand side by side when it comes to fighting those who would break us, rather than build us.

@C_NyaKundiH I can't help but wonder what if this ruto is embezzling all he can knowing he will not have a second term and assumes no consequences will be there for him to face just as it was during the 2007/2008 PEV and the Kiamba church incident

[BenkaCentral @BenkaCentral]

I don’t think many Kenyans have fully realized it yet, but we are living through one of the darkest periods in our nation's history. A time that arguably rivals only the British colonial era.

[The People’s President @bonifacemwangi]

Last October, my niece was raped on her way home at around 9;00pm. After those two beasts were done violating her, they forced her to send money to an M-Pesa till.

My sister called me crying in the middle of the night and I called Usikimye Founder, Njeri Wa Migwi, because I didn't know what to do. My niece received the medical help she needed, and the matter was reported to the Theta Police Station in Juja Constituency. She was given an OB, number 07/09/10/2025.

My niece went to follow up with the police but they didn’t even bother to write a statement. They didn’t even visit the scene. I paid a visit to the station with a lawyer @fatumabdulkadir, my wife @njerikan, and a friend, @JulianiKenya and spoke to the OCS. Our presence forced the Officer Commanding the Police Station to assign an officer to her case.

My niece wrote her statement and we drove the police to the site. The lady assigned to the case was Inspector MWW. I kept in touch with her every other day for months while following up on the case. The wheels of justice in Kenya grind slowly or sometimes never even start. As a good police officer, she filed a miscellaneous application in court to find out who owned the M-Pesa number to which my niece sent the money.

The application went through, but before the inspector could identify the perpetrators in January, she was arrested by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, Serious Crime Unit. The same DCI unit that has been harassing me and arresting me on trumped-up charges. I have been under state surveillance for a long time, ironically for being a good citizen advocating for a better Kenya.

My repeated calls to a police inspector were flagged by the National Intelligence Service, which handed over the call logs to the DCI to obtain a search warrant against her. She was arrested, her phone and laptop confiscated and taken to DCI. She gave my phone number to her family, and they called me. They told me she was questioned and accused of helping me plan protests. Inspector MWW was accused by the DCI of planning to mobilize members of the public to demonstrate and cause mayhem in the Ruiru area. Specifically, she was suspected of offences including preparation to commit a felony, malicious damage to property and assault causing actual bodily harm. The case also involved unauthorised interference with computer systems, with allegations that she used WhatsApp chats, text messages, and other digital communications to orchestrate or coordinate actions that posed a risk to public peace, stability, and safety. Her HP Compaq laptop and dual-SIM smartphone were seized for forensic analysis to gather evidence related to these alleged activities.

I called Advocate Ian Mutiso, who went to see her at DCI and was ready to help. She declined legal assistance connected to me, fearing that accepting it could be interpreted as evidence of an association. She cut off all communications with me to protect her job and decidednot to follow up on my niece’s rape case. The last time I checked on her through her family, her gadgets were yet to be returned to her. After her arrest, even the officers at the police station refused to investigate the case.

Then another assault and attempted rape happened. Same place. Same people, according to the description given by the second victim. This time, the rapist sent the money to himself, not another number, and took the victim’s phone. The victim could see her phone’s location somewhere in Juja. The victim’s OB number is 02/03/03/2026.

If the police had arrested the perpetrators instead of the investigator, the second rape wouldn’t have happened, and many other crimes. Every year since this government came to power, the National Intelligence Service (NIS) has continued to grow. Their budget is Ksh 51.4 billion, while the Judiciary’s is about half that, at Ksh 27.8 billion. The judiciary has over 250 court stations and tribunals across the country. They have more employees, a pending caseload of approximately 600,000 cases, and justice to deliver to millions of Kenyans, but it’s the spying agency that has a bigger budget.

The NIS does important work to protect Kenyans, but it also has units that are assigned to abduct active citizens. They have killer squads who will show up in protests masked, and shoot unarmed citizens. The same budget for NIS is where the president can call and send Noordin or his minions to deliver a briefcase containing millions of shillings to a politician or someone the president wants to bribe, so they can be silenced or persuaded to support him. They collect dirt, blackmail, and bribe people to support an unpopular president whose only legacy is abducting and killing young people. increased debt, and defunding education.

Let this regime be a lesson to all of us. Never vote for people who are accused of beating women, raping women, murdering and committing crimes against humanity. When you vote for such people, they will not care about the safety of women and children, they will prioritise house repairs over health, handouts instead of funding education, and if you dare protest, they will send police to shoot you. The pain and depression in the lives of Kenyans are a result of voting for someone who showed us his true colours, and we still elected him.

Tomorrow, my family and I will join the women’s march in Nairobi to protest against femicide, gender-based violence and the children who have been kidnapped or killed. I will be in the streets for my niece, and every woman and child whose life has been violated and ruined by this regime.

Ps: I have attached the search warrant and photos of the OB numbers in the thread.

[Dr. C @chao_mbogho]

I'll never get used to just how much contempt most Kenyan political leaders show Kenyans.

They spend more time defending things Kenyans are loudly against, than listening.

As if their positions have placed them above Kenyans' intellect & see the collective as inherently stupid.

They shot me. A sniper flashed out my brains

I have resurrected. The rage is on Tupatane Tuesday
