I have chuckled (and also felt sad) when I've realised that the plan for us who are in the COVID jail zones is essentially "mkae hapo ndani mpaka mpate adabu".

Like there's no plan to mass vaccinate or to mass test. Ai.

Magufuli will not hear or read your hagiographies, but your friends and colleagues who are human rights defenders and journalists risking their lives to speak up against authoritarian regimes will. Stop sanitizing his legacy.

This is a day to remember all the folks who have died due to Magufuli's covid denialism and dictatorship as well as all those whose rights he bulldozed. Also all those who cheered him.

May you have at least one person in your life who forgives you with as much enthusiasm as Africans forgive dictators that they don't have to live under.

Hire doctors, hire nurses, hire health officers, train them, provide them with PPE’s, with risk allowances, with health insurance. Don’t just clap for them! #COVID19KE

[Caffeinated Living @WokeLiving]

@michaelharriot Allow me to back you up, dear Sir.

Here's a #thread of some video footage so they can hear Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for themselves.

With all the #MLK posts and quotes going about, they should know who he is if they insist on talking about the man.
