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 🚶🏾♀️🚶🏾♀️
When IMF was negotiating with Greece, a Western country, they told Greece that it needed to change how it was spending money and then use the benefits from that to cut taxes so that economy could outgrow its debt.
When negotiating with Kenya, they seem be just focused on pushing for more taxes.
Faith Odhiambo: We need to see all unconstitutional offices scrapped. We don’t want to hear about CSs, the offices of the wife of the President, the wife of the Deputy President, and the wife of the Prime Minister. Let that money go to health and education #JKLive@KoinangeJeff
The arrogance is gone, but the lies are still there. This government sold our parents fake fertilizer. Yesterday they unleashed goons, and police to kill peaceful protestors. That will not stop us. See you tomorrow at the one million people march. He can’t kill us all.

As the leadership in Nairobi we are asking the Police to allow the Kenya Redcross to attend to the wounded. The Redcross staff are being fired at as they try to save lives! What madness is this?

In many ways, Finance Bill 2024 is for the history books.
It has emerged that we have two reports on the bill from the National Assembly Finance & Planning Committee.
The 390 pages report which most of us have seen (see quoted 🧵 for the break down).
Then there's a 434 pages report on the same bill.
To be clear, it's the 390 pages report that bears a stamp indicating tabling in the National Assembly.
That said, from my reading one material difference is worth highlighting.
