There’s a big part of me that honestly believes we deserve everything we get from these politicians. Because how do we keep watching the same people mess this country over and over again and still act surprised?
We have a generation that’s too comfortable letting Gen Zs fight for the country while they sit and comment from a distance. How are you in your late 30s, 40s, 50s okay watching your children or younger siblings fight battles for problems you helped create? You voted for thieves, defended them, campaigned for them, and when they get back in office you act like victims.
Look at what’s happening right now. Our lecturers are on strike. Students are stranded. Campuses are falling apart. But a whole CS is in another country praising their universities and lecturers as if ours don’t exist. How disconnected can you be?
Our healthcare system is collapsing. Hospitals have no medicine, doctors and nurses are exhausted and underpaid. When these politicians fall sick or want to give birth, they fly out for treatment instead of fixing the same hospitals they destroyed. They go to countries whose hospitals were built by LEADERS who cared about their people.
We have MPs passing harmful laws that directly affect the same people who voted for them. They show up, collect allowances, and disappear until the next campaign season. And still, we say “tutawafundisha lesson next election.” How many lessons have we taught so far?
Then there’s the Kenyan middle class. The most delusional ones, the ones who think national issues don’t concern them. As long as they have Wi-Fi, their kids are in private schools, and they can drive to work, everything else is “noise.” They don’t realize that the same system they ignore will come for them too :when taxes rise, when school fees double, when the economy finally collapses and insecurity rises due to lack of jobs for the “common” mwananchi…
We can’t keep outsourcing courage from Gen Z. Every generation that stays silent makes it worse for the next one. This habit of saying “minding my own business” is why nothing changes. Because those who created the mess never stay to clean it up.
And before we complain again, here’s the truth we actually have power, we just don’t use it.
We can recall MPs who betray the people, but we never do!! That’s why they’re comfortable saying they want to copy this and this from China coz they know you guys aint shit.. We can demand accountability, but we don’t..We can organize locally, but we wait for someone else to start
If we were serious, we’d start showing up for public meetings, asking questions, and refusing to clap for politicians who don’t deliver. We’d rebuild civic awareness and stop acting like politics ends at voting. We’d stand with those who are fighting instead of mocking them. And we’d vote with memory , not tribe, not token, not empty promises.
Because if nothing changes, one day your child will ask you what you did when this country was falling apart and silence won’t be a good enough answer.
For me, I will continue using my platforms no matter what 🚶🏾♀️🚶🏾♀️
Freedom of Movement has been effectively curtailed in Kenya.
William Ruto is now in open violation of Article 39 of the Constitution, barricading roads, sealing towns, and deploying police to cage a population he fears.
This regime is no longer governing , it is hiding behind uniforms and barriers.
When a government turns public roads into checkpoints and cities into war zones, it is no longer serving its citizens it is defending itself from them.
Ruto fears the people.
And that fear is the clearest sign that his legitimacy has collapsed.
The aim of any protest is to stop normal activities and bring awareness to pressing issues. By shutting roads, they have ironically ensured that the protest is felt by all😂😂😂
Now brethren, be keen for a minute....IEBC has no commissioners....So who authorized the "ongoing migration to new infrastructure"...who purchased the new infrastructure?? Electoral fraud is not a one day activity in Kenya😔.
Be wary of media houses that, come tomorrow, will be talking about the economic losses from today, and conveniently ignore all the money lost to corruption, misappropriation and dropped cases every day because of this govt
