I think the most painful part about fighting for change is watching people you genuinely believed were part of the movement slowly water it down, shake hands with murderers, laugh with them, sit comfortably around the very oppressors they once condemned, then come back with all sorts of explanations and excuses for why they were there, why it was necessary and why we shouldn’t read too much into it. And you’re left wondering, was any of this ever real, or were some of these people simply well calculated psyops from the very beginning?

And then you find yourself asking an even harder question, are the lives we lost not personal to you? Because for some of us, they are. We remember the young people who lost their lives fighting for a better country, the families that had to bury their children, the blood that was spilled, and maybe that’s why it’s so difficult to understand how someone who stood beside you through all of that can suddenly sit comfortably, laugh and shake hands with the very people we were fighting against 🥹

And somewhere along the way, you begin to understand why people like Patrice Lumumba, Dedan Kimathi, Thomas Sankara and so many other African heroes were killed so brutally. It wasn’t always because they didn’t have people around them. Many did. The problem was that some of the very people they believed they were fighting alongside had already sold out long before the fight was over.

Perhaps that is one of the hardest truths about fighting for change, eventually you realise that people really do have a price. Politics is indeed a dirty game, and I have a feeling 2027 will expose even more about people’s character.

But I really hope the few who genuinely believe in change don’t give up. Is it easy? Absolutely not. But I believe there is something deeply fulfilling about knowing that even if you died today, you never sold out, never shook hands with murderers and never became comfortable with people who have blood on their hands simply because they offered you money, access or power. Does that make you a hero? Absolutely not. It simply means you remained honest about what you stood for.

And eventually, when money no longer matters, when power no longer matters and when all the noise has died down, I think being able to live with yourself knowing you never betrayed what you believed in is what will matter most.

WANTAM!

I didn’t have time to reply, but let me reply now, Mr. Basket Mouth...
What exactly are you fighting with a Class 2 person for? A classified conman who preys on his own people.

You think we don’t know your history? Laundering pirate money that wrecked our economy.

You fought the courts and hit a wall. You’ve conned your own people with fake legal counsel, and you still have the audacity to lecture everyone??

I’ve noticed you’ve been trying to drag me into your useless rhetoric to get my attention. We know your heart is with Wamunyoro. Go dine with your payroll master!!

I can’t have grey hair and be a stupid man like you. Stop this nonsense, Mr. Basket Mouth!! @ahmednasirlaw

OCS Kamukunji police station has received court orders demanding him to release Mukurweini MP John Kaguchia on 100,000 cash bail but he is referring the matter to Central Police yet the MP is being held at Kamukunji police station... What a desperate government using state organs to settle politics!!!

[Ahmednasir Abdullahi SC @ahmednasirlaw]

You can listen to Hon Sudi and get zero of what he is trying to communicate, despite his best effort...for he rarely says something that captures the attention of anyone who attained class 8 education. We need sober, mature leaders not ranting rabble-rousers.

[Kalonzo Musyoka @skmusyoka]

I strongly condemn the arbitrary arrest of Mukurweini MP, Hon. John Kaguchia, over his public remarks.

Let me be clear: we do not support incitement, from anyone. Every leader has a duty to protect peace and to respect the rule of law. The Constitution guarantees every Kenyan freedom of expression. The law must be applied fairly, not selectively.

Yet Mr. Ruto's regime said "shoot and kill" against our own children. No action followed. The UDA Secretary General and a sitting Cabinet Secretary hurled tribal insults, one going so far as to call an entire community "hyenas." Again, no action.
Why the double standard?

Justice in Kenya cannot depend on whether you are pro-government or in the opposition. If incitement is the standard, apply it to everyone; Mukurweini MP or Cabinet Secretary, it does not matter. Selective justice is not justice. It has no place in our democracy.

Joint pedestrian enforcement currently underway at pipeline Transami footbridge targeting pedestrians who fail to use the footbridge and obstructing free flow of traffic. The offenders are expected to be arraigned in court this morning.
The Authority urges pedestrians to use designated footbridges /crossings at all times as crossing in undesignated areas not only endangers their lives but puts also other road users at risk and disrupts traffic. #UsalamaBarabarani #PedestrianSafety
