@moneyacademyKE I did many projects with them in Kenya & they encouraged corruption. Half of the project goes to waste/peoples pockets. The USAID top management are complacent. If you report to the OIG (office of the inspector general) like i did, they will cover the suspects & take you circles
At the beginning of the year, I made a call for us to protect the sanctity and dignity of every Kenyan life. It has come to us that two persons known to have been abducted at Mlolongo have been found dead. We condole with the families of Martin Mwau and Justus Musyimi and stand with the families of those still missing. May God greatly comfort you and give you courage to push towards justice. I reiterate my deep condemnation of the continued violence against young Kenyans in the form of the abhorrent acts of killing, maiming, and abduction. These continued crimes are a stain to our collective conscience as a nation, and we are all duty bound to say #EnoughisEnough, #EndAbductionsNow! We cannot remain silent. These crimes are a profound betrayal of the future of our nation and the sanctity of the Constitution. A leadership that abets a culture of killings and human rights violations jeopardizes its legitimacy. We cannot be lulled into complacency in the face of such assaults to our shared humanity. Every Kenyan and particularly our youth, deserves to live in safety and security and to pursue their dreams. I stand in unity with all Kenyans of good conscience and call for the immediate release of all young people who are still being held incommunicado. I call for accountability and justice for the victims and their loved ones. Let us work together to build a society that upholds the rule of law, constitutionalism and integrity. May the Almighty comfort the bereaved and their families. God Bless Kenya
The Defenders Coalition is deeply shocked and saddened by the brutal murder of Richard Raymond Otieno, a human rights defender based in Molo Town, approximately 328 kilometres from Nairobi.
Preliminary reports indicate that Richard was attacked by unknown individuals. His lifeless body was found Sunday morning, 19 January 2025, near the gate of his rented apartment.

In 1990, chief govt pathologist told the world that Dr. Robert Ouko broke his own legs, put fuel on himself, shot himself in the head, then burnt himself before walking from his Koru home to Got Alila where he was found charred. His killers "wept" at his funeral.

KHRC and MUHURI are concerned that @SafaricomPLC is alleged to have, for years, given security agents virtually unfettered access to its customers’ data, assisting in the tracking and capture of suspects, despite Kenyan security forces’ reputation for using unlawful tactics, including enforced disappearances, renditions, and extrajudicial killings of suspects.
Although Safaricom attempted to address these malfeasances in a public statement released on October 31, 2024, we recognize that this statement conveniently ignored to respond to key findings presented in the investigation by @NationAfrica, @nshabibi, and Claire Lauterbach.
As such, KHRC and MUHURI have today written an open letter to Safaricom PLC to adequately and comprehensively address the following disturbing allegations:
1. That, when presented with a court order authorizing the release of call data records (CDRs) that could implicate Kenyan security forces in crimes of murder or enforced disappearance, Safaricom PLC routinely passes responsibility for extraction and handling of that data to police attached to its Law Enforcement Liaison Office. This poses a serious conflict of interest by offering officers of the accused security forces an opportunity to handle the data and conceal evidence of state crime, as well as the fate of the victim.
2. That Safaricom PLC released CDRs it certified as authentic, despite bearing signs of manipulation and falsification. Safaricom PLC released these records in response to court orders arising from legal cases involving suspected state-enforced disappearances.
3. That Safaricom PLC failed to hand over data potentially vital to the investigation of state crime in Kenya, by habitually declining to provide full CDRs despite court orders to do so. In doing so, Safaricom PLC may have frustrated the course of justice.
4. That Safaricom PLC allowed security agencies routine access to consumer data (including but not limited to CDRs and other location data) without court order, assisting in the tracking and capture of suspects. This is despite Kenyan security forces’ reputation for using unlawful tactics, including enforced disappearances, renditions, and extrajudicial killings of suspects.
5. That Safaricom PLC retained ‘old’ consumer data it claimed had been deleted, including data that could potentially aid the investigation of state crime. In doing so, Safaricom PLC may have frustrated the course of justice.
6. That Safaricom PLC, in concert with Neural Technologies Limited, developed software granting security agencies in Kenya virtually unfettered access to private consumer data, which assisted in the tracking and capture of suspects in operations, despite Kenyan security forces’ reputation for conducting enforced disappearances, renditions, and extrajudicial killings of suspects.
7. That, in concert with Neural Technologies Limited, police attached to Safaricom PLC used such software to predictively and preemptively profile Kenyan citizens, which would constitute invasive breaches of customers’ private data rights.

@FGaitho237@HonJBMuturi I love your work, yes... but this is the most STUPID REASONING i have encountered this year!
Not everyone is as greedy for money & land as you think.
Some people prefer to work THEIR ASS off than the kind of charade you are suggesting
