Kenyan flags now wrap more coffins than celebrations.
Not from war abroad, but from bullets at home.
Not heroes fallen in battle, but citizens silenced by the very guns that promised to protect them.
This isn’t patriotism. It’s betrayal. 🇰🇪
So, it has become common knowledge that:
1. e- Citizen is owned by a private individual who as full access and control and NOT the government of Kenya. They pay themselves first a certain percentage before forwarding the cash.
2. SHA /SHIF is owned by an individual who pays themselves 2.5% per transaction. This means, the money isn’t enough to do what it is supposed to do. The government has no control whatsoever and that’s why you see the system is a complete mess.
3. The Government Paybill No: 222222 is also owned by an individual who has full control and pays themselves first per transaction. Government has no control whatsoever.
4. All the above 3 transactions when the facilitation fees are removed, the funds are forwarded to a private bank owned by a senior politician whose intention is to make the bank a tier one bank by 3 rd quarter of 2025.
The level of theft is unprecedented. The courage to steal has such an audacious aura about it that they don’t care anymore if we know or we don’t. The People’s DP has spoken publicly that there are containers across several locations in Nairobi that are full of billions and billions that is going to be used to bribe politicians and citizens so that they can continue to loot.
For how long are we going to suffer as they destroy our country?
I captured the entire "Planetary Parade" using my 11" telescope, and combined everything into one composite photo that stayed true to the angular scale of these objects.
Made entirely with real photos, I hope this composite helps illustrate the scale of these things!
An ICC indictee who grabbed Airport land, tear gassed school kids, stole maize as minister of agriculture, stole 100 acres of land from a PEV victim, son has an unruly matatu, daughter created office of the first daughter, wants to lead the conversation on good morals. Absurd.
Kenyans who were abducted talked of hooded men with guns. We filmed hooded men with guns in Nairobi but they kept fleeing from our cameras.
Authorities want the world to believe that ~82 government critics disappeared but they're not involved. Here's our historical record
Yesterday,I received credible Intel from a reliable source that I am now a marked man. This is so laughable if only it was not so sad.
This came after two of my senior friends told me to tone down my posts on the government or anything touching on abductions. The warnings came from a good place in their hearts, and I know they mean well.
What has our country become? I consider myself one of the mildest critics, yet every time family or friends tell me to tone it down, I am shocked.
I sat there thinking about those young men abducted, some whose bodies are surfacing in various parts of the country, and asked myself, "Is all that necessary?"
How fragile do you have to be as a President to sink so low, as not take criticism for your bad leadership and at least learn a thing or two.
Like they are asking the least from the president, but we have people like Sudi saying that he needs three days to deal with anybody saying bad stuff about the president online. I saw Ichungwa's outburst at Natembeya's remarks, and I felt like the president wouldn't get far with people like Ichungwa and Sudi as his principle advisers
Even sadder are new defenders of the president who are louder than even people who voted for him, who suddenly think that a president automatically deserves respect.
Respect for what?
Running down our education system?
Killing our healthcare system?
All those companies exiting Kenya due to the high cost of doing business.
For being proud of sending young people to slave out of the country and shamelessly taking credit for it?
For abducting our children?
For partnering with a Mungiki leader?
For bringing dynasties his fold?
For lying endlessly even when he doesn't have to?
I respect the presidency and would love to live in a country where leaders and elders are respected. But respect like money is earned and is a two-way street.
I am here thinking about all those Kenyans who were jailed and tortured over the years. Kenyatta 1 jailed folks. Some met worse fates. Moi jailed and tortured folks in the 1980s at the peak of Nyayo Torture chambers. People would be jailed for merely teaching at the university and harbouring Marxist thoughts. May more died. Some we know. Some we don't. There are family that have never healed from the scars Moi left upon their family.
Kibaki jailed and tortured folks. I witnessed the state-sanctioned murder of GPO Oulu and Oscar King'ara outside our hostel. They were shot at, in cold blood, on State House Road, barely 900 metres from the State House gates. We saw men in suits jog away from the scene. Under Uhuru, several young men and women and children were killed over the many years, most of them of Luo extraction. And many bodies have turned up in Yala River that we don't have an explanation.
All those jailed or killed were Kenyans. They didn't have to die. Or get jailed. Or get tortured for merely having a different opinion.
I have travelled and lived in countries with dictators as presidents. You don't want to live under a dictatorship. We lived through such a nightmare for 24 years. It wasn't funny.
When living or visiting such countries and I open my omena mouth to ask a political questions people either leave my table or they tell me, "we don't discuss politics here."
Since 1992, Kenya has been a vibrant democracy with periodic multiparty elections. Even though the elections are far from perfect, we have tasted freedom and we know what it feels like.
We can never go back and any KANU orphan who imagines that they can piss on our constitution, and get away with it, they read the time wrong. Kenya will never go back to the dark days, and the president and his coterie of sycophants are about to find out. Because they think June 25th was a joke.
As the protests resume, may we never lose the big picture, may we not have the in-fighting or get distracted or intimidated.
Let us turn up in big numbers and send the biggest statement yet. To quote an American statesman:
"We, too, born to freedom, and believing in freedom, are willing to fight to maintain freedom. We, and all others who believe as deeply as we do, would rather die on our feet than live on our knees."
🕰️ 4 days after President Ruto said he would stop abductions in Kenya, people are still missing. Dozens of demonstrators protesting the disappearances were arrested yesterday and denied rights.

#EndAbductionsKE #RutoMustGoNow
Very sad to see how quickly Kenya is descending, from being regarded a beckon of hope for our troubled East African region, to now being known for abductions of young citizens critical to the government of the day, as well as being a playground for dictators to abduct those opposed to their repressive regimes!
I sympathise with you, wandungu, the great people of Kenya. Like I warned you previously, you must resist Musevenism, which is slowly but firmly taking a grip on your country.
In Uganda, abductions have been so normalised that they no longer make news. We are still looking for 18 citizens, supporters of our Party, who were abducted by Museveni’s operatives in 2019, 2020, and 2021 and are still missing. This, in addition to those who were dumped dead in forests and swamps, and the thousands who ended up before military courts! But how did it all start? They took away one of us, then two, then ten. Later, it became a full-scale operation targeting thousands. Numberless vehicles, commonly known as drones, started picking citizens off the streets or from their homes with reckless abandon, and this has not stopped. At the height of these abductions, there was outrage, but the response of the regime was to deploy spin masters to deny or whitewash what was happening!
Therefore, to you Kenyan friends, you must defend your Constitution before it is too weak to defend you. If you do not uproot repression when it is a seedling, it becomes much harder when it takes root, grows into a tree, and spreads its branches everywhere.
#FreeKibetBull
Tonight, my thoughts are with those young kids who are missing, abducted, and probably being tortured mercilessly, for merely using AI tools to generate fake pictures of our president portraying him as a dead man.
Essentially, it is tactless, if foolish act, not to be encourage because human decency discourages such.
But nowhere it is a crime worth attention from authorities. Kenya is not a dictatorship or some banana Republic where the head of state is some untouchable figure. Our constitution grants us certain immunities.
Even at the worst of times of Uhuru Kenyatta's regime, I don't remember anyone wishing him death. Other than jokes about his alcoholism and incompetence, nobody wished him harm or death. In fact, when Social Media became too toxic for his mental health, he logged off permanently until he left office.
What has Ruto done to offend and annoy everyone so much? Save for a few folks from his ethnic background, a few Luo bloggers benefiting from present state largesse(and it is perfectly understandable, I have nothing against them), I don't know anyone who likes or feels Ruto.
I have never seen a figure attract so much hatred in so short a time.
People hate him, not because he is a Kalenjin.
People hate him because he lies with such cavalier hollowness, such that even the most illiterate person knows it is useless listening to him. People hate him because we have never had such an incompetent president and this is a fact. People hate him because he promised never to abduct anyone, never to torture anyone, there would be no disappearances under his watch, and we have never seen more broadlight shootings, more broadlight arrests, more mutilation of our constitution than we have seen in this year alone. All those bodies collected. All those kids killed during protests; it is hard to love any man who kills our children with no remorse, no parent will have any love left for him. People hate him because he has done the exact opposite of his campaign promises. He has enrolled and bankrolled dynasties in his eating, he is mortgaging the country to foreign interests and excusing terrible things being done to us, all the while insulting and abusing our intelligence.
There is nothing redeemable about Ruto.
Nothing.
Not a single a thing.
He was a bad man from the word go.
At no point in his political career can you pin point Ruto doing anything that was right, or serving the interests of the people. But his dangerous charisma fooled everyone and now he is sinking our country to lows that we may never recover from in our lifetime.
Told you three years ago, if Ruto became our president and you were aged 25-35, consider yourself a lost generation. You will never make enough generational wealth to turn the fortunes of your family.
When kids start circulating photos of you as a dead man, you need to sit and reflect where their hatred comes from. It is narcissistic to dismiss the cries of the children as tribal.
There are some adults who still don't understand the import of the Gen Z maandamano. We have almost a million graduates, very intelligent kids, wildly gifted who are unemployed, underexposed or grossly underpaid. On the other hand you have a government whose best effort so far is sending them to the middle-east for menial jobs and being proud of it.
The palpable anger in these kids has been completely misunderstood and sadly NIS seems not to know their job to tell the emperor how naked he is and how exposed is. If those kids hit the streets again, and they will, they will be unstoppable. And luckily now, there will be nobody to save Ruto, because both Raila and Uhuru have joined Ruto to run the country down one last time.
Ruto only had one job, turn the economy around, make it work for a majority of the people, not a few Indian billionaires and his Kalenjin inner circle, make healthcare work, not ruin the system, make education work, and all these things are not rocket science.
Nobody wants him on top of cars spreading lies like a cheap conman. Nobody wants to listen to his staid, uninspired and uninspiring speeches. He will never say one credible thing that people believes him. People hate him and his incompetent, totally useless cabinet.
Two years is enough to gauge the competence of a leader with the ability of doing something right that may help the country.
Sadly Kenyans are broke, hungry, angry, demotivated, and even this Christmas has a certain sad cheer.
That is why people would wish him dead, because we are so powerless, and only his death can rescue people from his bad regime.
He is a father, a loving one while at it. He is a friend to many people no doubt. If not for lying and his incompetentence, I think he is some I can have a cup of tea with.
But he can't run a country.
That is the fact.
It doesn't matter what colour of lipsticks his bloggers paint him. He can't run a country. And people will keep wishing him bad things until he changes his ways.
This will never grow old until we achieve TOTAL LIBERATION from the failed brutal KK regime. The clarity of thought with which @BarackMuluka puts it is unmatched. Akili, watu wangu, let's THINK. Tafakari ya KK in the unlikely event that we allow them back in 2027 🤔🤔🤔
Man on a mission, a mission to reclaim and keep our Republic through:
1. Economic & Social Reforms guided by strict adherence to Consitutionalism and the Rule of Law.
2. Fiscal Discipline - Eliminate all wastage & corruption; run a lean and efficient government; separate National Treasury from Ministry of Finance; Restore the Budget as a primary tool of governance (Si Kutenga tu ovyo ovyo and making huge financial promises in churches, roadside rallies and funerals); Recover all stolen funds and bring the thieves to book; No new theft (pesa ya uma ni sumu, ukila utakufa); Controlled, responsible & transparent borrowing; establish a sovereign wealth fund, etc.
3. Create an enabling environment to lift THE PEOPLE from Poverty - Food and nutrition security & sovereignity, true universal healthcare, taxpayer-funded basic education; dignified and efficient public transport etc.
Okiya Omtatah: It is actually possible to increase our GDP per capita from $1900 to $30,000 in 10 years.
