This week marks a year since I stopped going to church (also week 1 of 3rd year in SLS😭). So far, I love the peace and boldness that came with that decision together with everything I learned and unlearned during the period.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) suspects who basically own Kenya today bribed media house employees to delete post-election violence news stories from their YouTube channels, arranged for raw footage to disappear from newsrooms, and rewrote the narrative by portraying themselves as victims after funding the killings.
The kind of money thrown around to sink the case ran into the billions. They paid an employee of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) to steal the list of witnesses lined up against them at the ICC.
They used that list to bribe witnesses, paid hit squads to kill, and even made witnesses disappear if they refused to recant their testimonies. The officers who were in the hit squad that killed the witnesses were themselves also murdered. https://t.co/XXddL3JAbq
Some of the targeted hate I receive is because I refused to hide my images or testify falsely at The Hague that the violence I witnessed was spontaneous rather than organised. Instead, we travelled the entire country, displaying the pictures and holding healing and reconciliation discussions.
I was even approached not by the two main ICC suspects, but by Kibaki’s people, who were trying to protect his key civil servant. That civil servant was facing charges of five crimes against humanity: murder, forcible transfer of population, rape, persecution, and other inhumane acts.
Entire police occurrence books were rewritten to conceal the true number of those who died. Almost 20 years later, there has not been a single conviction for the post-election violence.
Thousands died, hundreds (possibly thousands) of women were raped, and over 500,000 people were displaced. Their animals, properties, and land were stolen.
The 2007–2008 chapter was never closed. The story continues, and if you make the mistake of re-electing people whose only language is to bribe everyone and kill those who disagree, Kenya will experience even worse violence than in 2007–08.
He has already normalised sending masked men to abduct citizens in full view of cameras, while goons work with the police to beat and violate opposition leaders and their supporters. Soon those masked men and goons will be shooting and killing people on live TV. That is exactly what happened on 25 June 2024. Why do you think almost all senior police leadership in Nairobi comes from one community, and that the police boss who ordered a blogger’s abduction and murder is being groomed to be the next Inspector General of Police?
Let me stop here. You can find some of the photos I shot in 2007–08 https://t.co/LRDxDzXwu4.
Finally, @DCI_Kenya boss Mohamed Amin: since January, your special teams have been forced to sign that they received per diems when they travel for out-of-station missions, yet they receive nothing. They are being forced to sleep in their cars and beg for food.
Stop treating your special units like homeless people. Who is stealing their allowances? Or is that the money State House is using to bribe voters and pay bloggers?
The struggle to liberate Kenya continues… #NeverAgainKE
Susan Kihika said that she has no urgency to reopen War memorial hospital. She has been stopping the reopening despite the court orders.
Her urgency is watching World Cup. She’s now in US watching World Cup with Mburu.
@dombwosque24823 I can't wait to vote out this guy coz the road from Kasarani police station to the IEBC offices is pathetic and even a lorry got stuck there causing insane traffic. Also, he voted for Finance bill 2024
Going to war because a man from your tribe lost an election is the pure embodiment of mental retardation. How does your neighbour belonging to a different tribe change the results? Are you mad? Do you see why all other races call us subhuman? Upuzi ndio tuko nayo mingi.
@kamauwaruhiu People said this about Uhuru and we ended up losing 2B per day to corruption. It's funny how people celebrate wealth instead of asking where it came from then get surprised when billions of money go "missing"
@gabrielmandere@DanChepta Go watch "under your watch" by Africa uncensored then let's see if you'll still comment like this. The reason we aren't getting anywhere is coz voters like you choose to have selective amnesia
THE SHYLOCK NEXT DOOR
You would never let someone use your ID to borrow money from a Shylock, then expect you to repay the loan. You would call it THEFT.
So why are we so quiet when it happens to our country?
Kenya’s public debt now stands at about KSh 12.8 trillion. This year, about 91 percent of the taxes we collect will go to paying debt, not improving hospitals, schools, roads, or supporting counties.
We feel it every day through higher taxes, delayed county funding, delayed and reduced capitation, struggling public services, and fewer development projects.
Debt is not the problem. Debt without clear results is.
Every Kenyan is paying for these loans. Every Kenyan has the right to ask one simple question.
What did we borrow all this money for?
Your name is on the bill. Your voice should be part of the conversation.

You will never see this happening in Singapore, Canada, US, Belgium, even Russia. These countries invest in industries, and create conducive business environment.
This is NOT EMPOWERMENT. This is simply the WEAPONIZATION of POVERTY.
Europe spent 400 years using slave labour in colonies to build its wealth, rebranded this extraction model in the 20th century and somehow its citizens still believe their social conditions are a result of some superior intellect rather than inhuman violence.
Being a flowergirl when we were little was so teaaa. You get all new everything, kwanza fancy stuff😂 tiara, dress, tights, shoess, kale kabasket, glovesss. Hair laiddd.

They will Tell you that Africa, Haiti, and all these dark nations are shithole countries but they will never tell you that they killed anyone who tried to fix it.
