Healing. Physically, spiritually, psychologically. For my people and the rest of the world
People are walking around hurt, weighed down. So disappointed and angry at life. We barely even dream or hope for better anymore.
It feels like the darkness already won and just mocks us

RE: Rejection of the Kenya Information and Communication (Amendment) Bill, 2025
Dear Sir/Madam,
I hereby reject this bill
Yours,

[ID NO.]
That Ruto is cornered is no longer something to dismiss, because the political mood, the anger on the ground and the fractures around him are becoming harder to ignore.
“Ruto Must Go” can win an election, but it cannot run a country, and the opposition must now start telling Kenyans what happens after the celebrations are over.
Start with the national debt. Which loans will they honour, which ones will they audit, what happens to odious or questionable debt, and how exactly will they stop Kenya from borrowing simply to repay previous borrowing?
Then tell us what happens to this bloated government structure where almost every problem has somehow produced an authority, agency, board, council, commission, fund, secretariat, director general, board chairman, CEO, offices, vehicles and allowances.
Why, for example, does Kenya need a whole Kenya Water Towers Agency with its own board and administration to coordinate conservation of water towers instead of placing that work directly inside the responsible ministry alongside the existing forestry, water and environmental departments?
The government itself has admitted that some State corporations have overlapping or duplicated mandates and has been trying to merge or restructure them, which tells you the problem is not imaginary.
How many water agencies does one country need before water actually reaches people's taps, when we already have the Ministry of Water, Water Works Development Agencies, the National Water Harvesting and Storage Authority, Water Resources Authority and other institutions funded from the same taxpayer?
How many agricultural boards, authorities and corporations do we need before farmers receive affordable fertiliser, functioning markets and reasonable prices for what they produce?
How many youth funds, women funds, enterprise funds and empowerment programmes must exist separately, each carrying administrators and operational costs, instead of creating one properly managed financing institution with measurable results?
Why do functions that could comfortably sit as departments inside ministries repeatedly become standalone State corporations requiring CEOs, boards, procurement departments, HR departments, finance departments, legal departments and expensive headquarters?
The opposition must tell us which State corporations it will abolish, which ones it will merge, which boards disappear on day one and how much money those changes will actually save taxpayers.
Tell us what happens to SHA and whether healthcare will continue being built around deductions, unexplained private technology companies and layers of agencies before money finally reaches the hospital treating the patient.
Tell us what happens to the housing levy, and whether government should really be collecting money from every worker, building houses, identifying beneficiaries, financing mortgages and competing with private developers at the same time.
Tell us what happens to university funding, HELB, school capitation and the endless experiments that leave parents discovering new education policies after schools have already opened.
Tell us what happens to county financing and whether governors will continue travelling to Nairobi every few months begging Treasury to release money that Parliament already allocated to counties.
Tell us what happens to corruption cases, because Kenyans do not need another government that arrives with its own thieves, protects them for five years and suddenly discovers corruption when somebody falls out politically.
Tell us what happens to procurement. Will every tender, beneficial owner, contract variation and final payment become publicly searchable, or will we continue pretending transparency exists when more than half of government contractors can remain hidden behind companies?
Tell us what happens to the police. Will the next president still call commanders when he wants opponents arrested, or will Kenya finally build a police service where an officer fears the law more than he fears State House?
Tell us what happens to the DCI, ODPP, EACC, intelligence services and other institutions that become extremely energetic when powerful people have private problems but suddenly develop weak knees when politically connected goons, killers and thieves are involved.
Tell us what happens to State House spending, advisers, presidential delivery units, special envoys, taskforces and endless committees created whenever somebody in government wants another office.
Tell us what happens to Cabinet size, principal secretaries, CAS style positions if they return under another name, government advisers and political appointees scattered through State corporations.
Tell us whether government vehicles will still consume billions transporting officials to meetings where they discuss why government has no money.
Tell us whether every new president will continue creating offices for election losers and coalition partners instead of forcing political parties to carry the cost of their own political settlements.
Tell us what happens to taxes, because promising to reduce taxation is easy until the same politicians enter Treasury and discover they inherited a government whose recurrent expenditure they are unwilling to cut.
Tell us what happens to pending bills, because thousands of businesses have supplied government, paid VAT, borrowed money to perform contracts and then waited years for the State to pay them.
Tell us what happens to electricity costs, fuel taxes, manufacturing, agriculture and small businesses, because Kenya cannot tax itself into prosperity and then wonder why investors move production elsewhere.
And most importantly, tell us what happens to the structure of political power itself.
If all the opposition is offering is another president controlling Parliament, influencing prosecutors, intimidating independent institutions, appointing friends everywhere and borrowing billions with no consequences, then we are simply preparing the next “Must Go” movement.
Ruto going is now a reality.
But Kenya cannot spend the next year discussing who takes the cake without asking why the cake is this expensive, why so many people are eating from it and why ordinary Kenyans are always the ones paying for it.
KSH 1 Billion:
• Will build 13 of these secondary schools, fully equipped.
Kenya is losing 3 billion daily (36 schools) to corruption, lies and deception.
Jameson stole 600 billion.
Unsolicited advice:
As a late genz or early millennial, the only path that truly suits you is one that shuns employment and office work and adopts freedom — to city-hop — and experience life in different cities.
Being stationed somewhere as an employee is the fastest route to poverty and early old age.
Find a way to defeat the need for employment and join causes which truly makes you grow outside your usual domain.
For those going to Maandamano kesho, watch hii story ya Ghost wa Karatina. He was tortured by DCI officers in July 2024. Up at 1pm today on my YouTube channel.
nothing drains or kills you more than your own mind. stop reminiscing and stressing over things you can’t control. breathe, let your mind rest. you are going to be okay, trust me.
Johnstone will wake up at 5:00 am. He will hear his alarm ringing and put his pillow around his ears, and wonder how he ended up here. It’s something he has been struggling with—the point of it all?
He will get out of bed, and the cold will introduce him to his day. He will make himself a cup of tea, throw two slices of bread in the toaster, and begin to fry some bacon.
He is not doing badly, at least, not by society’s standards. He lives in a good neighborhood, drives a decent car, has a job… “What’s the point?” he will hear himself ask, as the toaster screams to inform him that his bread is cooked.
Wasn’t his bread cooked when he bought it from the supermarket? He will wonder. Pick the two slices from the toaster and throw them in the dustbin. He will also do the same for the bacon that is sizzling in the pan. After that, he will drain his tea in the sink. He has been eating irregularly, he will realize. That needs to change, does it? He will put a pin on it.
He will jump in the shower; there was a time showering was an occasion for him. He would put on music and sing and dance, but now it feels like a chore, something to do and get over with.
He will find himself picking out a suit in his closet. Today, he will have to go two notches lower on his belt. After getting dressed, he will pick up his bag. Inside, there is a MacBook and an iPad. He needs them to do his job as the company’s Business Development Manager. A title that was once flashy to him, but it now feels like a big padlock on his prison cell.
He will get to his sitting room and stare at his big TV and recliner sofas, without exactly seeing them. He will then stare at the wall, where a big painting of a salacious woman will stare back at him.
He bought it after bringing in his first business; it had once held meaning, but it doesn’t stir anything in him anymore. Next to it is a smaller painting of a fisherman in his dhow, which he bought on a whim. He will stare at it, and for a split second, the color will return to his face before it disappears again.
He will pick up his car keys and use the lifts to go to the basement of his apartment block, where his Nissan Teana will be parked. He will open his glove compartment, which has a rope, a bottle of rat-and-rat, and a gun. He is yet to decide when he is going to do it, or how he will do it. “What’s the point?” he will murmur.
He will not know how he got to work, but he will find himself there. “Good morning, John,” the receptionist and his secretary will say. “Good morning,” he will respond. “It’s Johnstone,” he will be thinking.
There was a time he had loved it. The attention women give to men in position. He had once enjoyed acting on it, but now, all it does is open a gaping hole in him. “What’s the point?” he will find himself murmuring again while entering his office.
His office has an abstract painting that does not mean anything besides look good. He will walk past the meeting area to his desk and bounce through meetings, emails, and phone calls, and before he knows it, it will be evening.
He will decide to take a walk around town to get some fresh air, and as he does, he will feel dizzy and sit on a bench. Next to him will be a man selling paintings, one, in particular, will catch his attention.
A painting of a fisherman with small print at the bottom that says, ‘Life is for living, not the outcome.’ “How much?” he will ask the painter. “A thousand bob,” he will say, but Johnstone will give him fifty thousand bob instead. “Thank you for saving my life,” he will say with gratitude to the now dumbfounded painter.
Johnstone will not go back to the office, to his car, or apartment. Instead, he will go downtown, with the painting clutched in his hand.
He will purchase a one-way ticket to Homabay, and when he gets there, he will rent a small shack and buy a dhow. He will sleep like a baby that night after enjoying a heavy meal of fish and ugali. He will wake up the next morning at 5:00 am. “Life is for living, not the outcome,” he will say to himself before joining his fellow fishermen.
On ELECTION DAY, talk to the PERSON in FRONT and BEHIND you in both Kiswahili and English.
Gauge their accent to determine their origin. There will be Burundians, Ugandans, Tanzanians in those queues.
Ask them what they are doing there. Don't allow INELIGIBLE FOLKS to VOTE.
fun fact: MTV were suffering from low ratings so they invited michael jackson to perform at the VMA’s in 1995. his performance was so good that it literally saved MTV from bankruptcy
As a student of Sociology who has spent his time studying human behavior. DP Ruto presidency which I hope never happens will be Lethal than Moi's. You should pay attention on how he responds to criticism, how he acts when angry, how he lies in plain sight etc. Itakuwa mazishi.
