A Kenyan has filed a petition seeking to amend the Constitution to allow citizens to directly recall the President and governors in the middle of their terms - Sifuna
watched South African police escort protesters without executing them for 2 days. Even when marchers started looting or vandalizing property, they responded with non-lethal force.
Can police in Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda, and Tanzania learn from their counterparts here?

I am deeply saddened by the reports of yet another fire ravaging stalls at Gikomba Market this morning, leaving traders counting losses as their goods go up in flames. My heart goes out to every hardworking Kenyan whose livelihood has been wiped out overnight. No family should have to repeatedly rebuild from ashes while questions about safety, accountability and lasting solutions remain unanswered.
Leaders and relevant agencies must move beyond promises to concrete action. We must pursue proper market planning, real fire safety infrastructure and transparent investigations into these recurring infernos that keep targeting one of Nairobiโs most important economic hubs. Today, we stand in solidarity with Gikomba traders and commit to amplifying their cry for justice, compensation and meaningful reform so that never again finally means something.
Ndindi Nyoro is one of the most hypocritical figures in Kenyan politics!! The only reason this statement exists is because Kenyans saw right past the BS.
What we are witnessing here is HYPOCRISY and STUPIDITY of the highest order. You cannot spend years cultivating the image of an alternative voice, positioning yourself as the intellectual conscience of government, then disappear when the moment of accountability arrives.
And then return with a carefully crafted statement about humility, patriotism and service.
We are being asked to believe that there was something more important than one of the most consequential votes affecting the lives of millions of Kenyans. There wasnโt.
Nothing was more important than that vote.
Absolutely nothing. Kwenda uko๐ถ๐ฟโโ๏ธWANTAM!!
@NdindiNyoro Sasa hii story yote inatusaidia nini and you were no where to vote pia sisi tulisema siku ya ku vote twende nje tutasaidia uchaguzi na nini Bure kabisa
Ndindi Nyoro was absent during Finance Bill vote. Such a weak spine and a full-time Ruto supporter who moves from one TV to TV to be seen
Someone tell the 'Nancy Pelosi of Kamindi Supermarket' that being neutral in a war means supporting the war. Fence-sitters aren't neutral.
