Step into the world of African politics, elections are staged, dissent is silenced, and power is the ultimate prize. Leaders shout about democracy, while practicing everything but.

But the parasitic phase is self-consuming. The contradictions of #EliteMediocrity are finally imploding with the rise of a new generation demanding accountability. The 2024 #RejectFinanceBill was a new political awakening to the recent #Nikokadi initiative.
Thread!
'I went to Alliance'. A name once synonymous with joining an intellectual aristocracy. Lately, the brag isn't of alumnus status, but shorthand for an elite marooned in Mediocrity. https://t.co/yj2EpJFw6z we dissect why this class has become nations greatest liability.
The Geneva-based Institute of Human Rights (IHR) has criticised President William Ruto’s efforts to back Supreme Court Justice Njoki Ndung’u for a position on the International Criminal Court (ICC) bench.
David Koros, the IHR president, stated that President Ruto lacks the moral standing to campaign and lead diplomatic efforts to secure Justice Ndung’u’s election to the ICC, given his alleged role in hindering justice for victims of the 2007/2008 post-election violence.

On this day, 18 years ago, on 12 May 2008, I published my first article in the @NationAfrica challenging the injustice of odious debt.
I argued then, as I do now, that debts incurred against the interests of the people cannot morally or legally be imposed on generations that never consented to them.
Africa must stop begging for relief from debts designed to enrich a few and impoverish millions. We must audit, question, repudiate, and prosecute where necessary.
Odious debt is not development. It is economic capture. The struggle continues.

E-citizen fees are up, museum fees are up, and park fees are already sending Mara tourists to Tanzania. The Treasury CS calls it a "tiered system," but it’s just a staircase with your wallet at the bottom.
While the FBI sets up shop to tackle our rising money-laundering index, Kenyans aren't waiting for permission to win. Mwende Mugambi is building AI to decode these very policies, and Felista Mugo just became our first female MMA fighter.
This country will tax you, ignore you, and produce world-beaters all in the same week!
@justinewanda explains it all (badly)
A reminder that accountability, transparency, and civic participation are essential pillars of democratic governance.
As governance challenges continue to evolve, protecting constitutional values requires informed citizens, responsive institutions, and sustained public oversight.

Vote for the local person who has advocated for your community and has a real footprint in the development of the locality where you are at. Leave the so called celebrities to their inflated celebrity status. They will only perform theatrically as they've done all their lives to the benefit of their alter ego
He has his hands on everything, even the trivial matters that really have nothing to do with the government; no wonder he doesn't know how to govern a Nation. Tentacles of unwarranted show of power.
Good objective, Mr. President. Wrong execution.
School fees is a private transaction between a parent and a school
Not a gateway for eCitizen rent-seekers to double their “convenience fee” on the backs of struggling families
Fix public schools. Cut costs. Stay out of my wallet.
My fees. My payment method. My choice! @WilliamsRuto@EduMinKenya
26. And because he made the Mashujaa Day a UHC day how about we look back at his promise on healthcare?
"Tumesema kabla ya December mwaka huu, serikali hii ya Kenya Kwanza itahakikisha yakwamba kila mkenya ana bima ya afya ya NHIF."
Sijui kama tunakubaliana wenzangu?
