Today, we declined to proceed with the trial of Dr. Kizza Besigye and Hajji Obeid Lutale after they were not produced before court or presented virtually from prison.
The unexplained failure to produce accused persons can’t be overlooked. It raises legitimate concerns about their welfare, safety, and access to justice.
The norms we normalize today become the precedents we live with tomorrow.
Across our region and continent, the defence of constitutional rights requires constant vigilance, for rights diminished in one case can easily be diminished in another.
57,000,000+ Kenyans vs 570 colonial nyaparas;
We, The People, are going to have our way. The days of homeguards like Olekina Ledama, openly insulting communities & stealing their land for his yt overlords are soon coming to an end.
The only good Kenyan politician; is a dead one.
Heavily armed DCI officers in a white Subaru have stormed Great Wall Gardens, Athi River and abducted a man among people protesting water shortage in the estate.

Why is William Ruto making frequent foreign trips whose details are not always fully disclosed?
Is he in good physical health?
While in South Africa, some observers stated that he appeared to be limping. Is that accurate?
Is President Ruto well?
Can the State House, his office, or his medical team provide clarification and address the public speculation?
Have you guys watched this documentary?
"As long as we don't have this food independence, then we don't even have our independence".
Ibrahim Traore is the guy we need in Africa. Not Ruto.
UK military personnel are now being deployed to arrest Nanyuki protesters. The UK flag on the uniform indicates a special unit remotely recruited to serve British interests in Kenya.
The South African national anthem is exactly the same as the Tanzanian national anthem but SA chose to whip their TZ brothers in public like wild animals 💔💔💔💔
" Karen Nyamu alikuja kwa hoteli yangu akakula na wamama wenzake chakula ya 29,000 na hawakulipa"- Bunge la Mwananchi Member asks for help from Kenyans.
Policemen never get a coin of that money
The NIS is a mere paymaster of what is a political campaign slush fund for Ruto
The KDF loot went to the top cream in what was ringfenced graft. Lately, Ruto has sent his mistress to demand & collect his cut - much to the chagrin of the woman hating testosterone full generals
8 different protests are planned in Mexico today as the opening World Cup match between South Africa and Mexico takes place.
But in Kenya, a mere CHAN or AFCON tournament comes around, and suddenly bloggers, influencers, and government defenders appear everywhere telling people "don't protest" and "don't mix politics with sports."
Tell me, are Mexicans dumb?
Among the groups expected to mobilize today are:
• CNTE (teachers' union)
• Searching mothers' collectives
• Federal Judiciary workers
• Pemex & CFE pensioners
• Transport workers
• Farmers' organizations
• Healthcare workers
• Families and collectives of the disappeared
Mexico can host a World Cup match and still respect the right to protest.
Yet in Kenya, some people act as if constitutional rights should be suspended because football is being played.
Any time you hear someone telling people not to protest, understand they are not defending sports.
They are defending the government.
Rights don't take a break because there is a tournament.
