We spent a lot of time popularizing the #WeAreAllKikuyus movement, then some people wake up and post this kind of tribal nonsense like Kenya has not suffered enough from ethnic stupidity.
Such statements take us backwards. They feed the same poison we have been fighting, where every political disagreement is turned into a tribal war and every community is dragged into battles created by politicians and their mouthpieces.
Kenya does not need such polarizing people on social media. We already have enough problems without adding reckless tribal incitement from people chasing likes and cheap applause.
This is exactly the kind of garbage that keeps the country stuck.
This is an update to my earlier report on the coordinated mobilization and arming of militia across parts of the Rift Valley and western parts of Kenya. That report (Check my quoted tweet below), detailed the oathing ceremonies, the night gatherings, and the involvement of political figures in organizing young men from specific communities. Since then, trusted sources within government have continued to come forward with new information, and what is emerging paints an even more disturbing picture of how far these alleged preparations have advanced.
Reports I have received point to political militia in their hundreds being assembled across several counties, including Trans Nzoia, reportedly targeting western Kenya and Bungoma, Pokot and Marakwet, Turkana, Uasin Gishu, Nandi, Kericho, Nairobi, Kajiado, Kiambu, Murang’a, Nyeri, Laikipia, Nyandarua and Kirinyaga. Each militia member is allegedly paid a monthly salary of 30,000 kes, with an additional 10,000 kes sitting allowance for each meeting attended. According to my sources, this money is transported and physically delivered to the militia by the same veterinary doctor I named in my earlier report operating from the ugly house on the hill. In Nairobi, Kajiado, and parts of central Kenya, the operation allegedly runs through so-called stage managers aka kamageras, who coordinate activity on the ground and provide political cover.
Now, on the economic sabotage component of this plan. The strategy is not random criminality but a deliberate and calculated effort to disarm, wear down, and render targeted communities helpless and hopeless through sustained thuggery, knife attacks, child disappearances, cattle rustling, and relentless pressure on landowners around Uasin Ngishu to sell their land or, as they are told, remain "at their own risk." The goal is to break the spirit and economic backbone of targeted communities before any wider confrontation if necessary. The coordinators behind this plan are the same individuals I named in my earlier report.
The 41vs1 agenda being pushed is a deliberate replay of 2007: the Kikuyu community against the other 41 tribes, the same dangerous arithmetic that produced over 1,300 deaths and displacement that was never fully reversed. To that end, reports I have received indicate that Kikuyu political leaders allied to the current administration have allegedly been funded to the tune of 2.5 billion shillings, money intended to destabilize the region and neutralize potential resistance from within. Meanwhile, broader alliances are allegedly being sought with elements from the Coast and communities in western Kenya. Notably, according to my sources, the Maasai, Luhya, and Kisii communities have publicly refused to participate. Even in parts of Mount Kenya, the alleged organizers are said to face limited reach and credibility.
History is repeating itself in plain sight. Today, the political temperature is rising again, but this time the alleged plans are being flagged early by elders, citizens, churches, and concerned voices across the country. Framing legitimate national discontent over the economy, governance, and accountability as ethnic persecution or justification for balkanization is a deliberate distraction that benefits only the political class while impoverishing everyone else through fear, thuggery, and lost livelihoods.
We must stop the drums of war now. 2007 caught people off guard; this time the warnings are visible and public. Kenyans of all communities share the same daily struggles: sky-high living costs, insecurity, unemployment, and broken promises. No community wins when children disappear, cows are stolen, or families are forced off land they have farmed for decades. The real divide is between the political elite of all ethnicities and ordinary citizens who are being played in their hunger games.

Raila Odinga was a true champion of democracy. A child of independence, he endured decades of struggle and sacrifice for the broader cause of freedom and self-governance in Kenya. Time and again, I personally saw him put the interests of his country ahead of his own ambitions. Like few other leaders anywhere, he was willing to choose the path of peaceful reconciliation without compromising his core values. Through his life, Raila Odinga set an example not just for Kenyans, but across Africa and around the world. I know he will be missed. Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and to the people of Kenya.
Men,
When a man falls in love, he enters the dangerous dungeons of psychological slavery.
His values become negotiable,
His principles become flexible,
He suffers emotional obsession & obsessive thought patterns.
Don't fall in love. You will suffer.

Men,
Love is not a divine gift,
It is an illusion.
It is a fleeting emotion.
It is biological programming that weakens men and manipulates men into reproduction.
Love is a mental prison with romantic marketing campaigns.
A man does not fall in love.
