[Kavuli M. Bernard, FCH @BernardKavuli]

He was 27 years old. He had been sentenced to 80 years in prison. His earliest possible release date was 2076. He was going to die behind bars for a crime he did not commit.

Wilson Wambugu walked out of Kamiti Maximum Prison on October 16, 2026, a free man. Most people in his position would have given up. They would have accepted the injustice, the cruelty of a system that failed them and the betrayal of a family member who set them up.

Wilson did something different. He held on. His troubles began in 2023. He was working as a farmhand for an aunt in Nyeri, earning KSh 6,000 a month. His mother was mentally ill. He spent KSh 5,000 of that salary every month buying her medicine. He had barely KSh 1,000 left for himself.

One day, a cousin from the same homestead approached him. "You're always working and getting paid," the cousin said. "Today buy me some alcohol". Wilson told him the only thing he could afford was a cup of tea. The cousin refused. Then he said, "I'll teach you a lesson".

Wilson thought he was joking. He went back to work. Three hours later, the police came. They arrested him. They accused him of defiling three young boys. The boys later said they did not know him. They were pressured into implicating him. Other details in the case were allegedly forged.

He was taken to court in Karatina. He was convicted in July 2025. He was sentenced to 80 years in prison. His entire life was destroyed over a family dispute. The saddest part is that his mother never even knew what had happened to her son because of her mental condition.

Wilson remained in prison. He waited. He hoped. He refused to accept that his story was over. Then someone heard his story. Human rights lawyer John Wangai took up the case on a pro bono basis after hearing about Wambugu's ordeal. He believed in justice. He believed that it would have been unfair to leave a young man in prison for all those years for a crime he did not commit.

In October 16, 2026, Justice Kizito Magare delivered the ruling at the High Court in Nyeri. The appeal was allowed. The conviction on all four counts was quashed. The 80-year sentence was set aside. Wilson Wambugu was acquitted on all counts. The prayer for retrial was declined. He was ordered to be removed from the offenders register. The file was closed.

He walked out of prison a free man. He broke down in tears as he narrated everything that had been done to him. He was betrayed by his own blood. He was failed by the system. He was forgotten by the world. He had every reason to give up.

You might be in your Kamiti season right now. Betrayed by people who should have protected you. Failed by systems that should have served you. Forgotten by a world that moved on without you.

Do not give up yet. Hold on to your truth. Keep telling your story. Keep looking for someone who will listen. Keep believing that justice, no matter how delayed, will eventually come.

Wilson Wambugu started with 80 years and no hope. Today, he is a free man. Your freedom is waiting.

Hapo vipi!

[Pauline Njoroge @paulinenjoroge]

This is the story of a village girl, who for almost a month hawked pens, pencil sharpeners and erasers in town just to make a few coins.
A girl who almost took up a house help job because she desperately did not want to go back to the village.
A girl who ended up as a posho mill attendant to survive some very tough times.
A girl who had to pursue her two degrees much later in life.

But this is also a story of God’s favour and faithfulness.

It is the story of a girl who one day heard a voice within her heart ask, “Pauline, what do you have in your hand?” And her answer was simple… she had a Facebook page, and she could write. Writing had always been her thing, right from her days at Moi Girls Kamangu where she was the editor of the school magazine.

It is the story of that same girl who would later find herself working with presidents, presidential candidates and heads of international organisations. A girl who would find herself literally dining with kings and world leaders.

This is a story of possibilities, of daring to dream big despite the circumstances.
A story of a God who raises the poor from the dust and seats them with kings, literally.

As I always say, so far, so God 🙏🏾

to avoid disappointment, stop seeing only the good in people, and start seeing the reality of what they’re actually showing you.

Distance is my new response to disrespect. I don't argue, I don’t return energy, I don’t dive into drama. I simply remove myself.
