Ruto akiwa president I was taking some two orphans through high school and paying a widow’s rent besides taking care of my son and myself. Two years in, I was dirt poor and I couldn’t go on helping these people.
So when I tell you mine is personal, believe me!! He must go!
I don't think many Kenyans have understood the weight of the figures David Maraga released yesterday.
According to the former Chief Justice @dkmaraga, 3,958 Kenyans have been killed by police since President William Ruto came to power, an average of roughly 990 deaths every year.
Now put that number next to the country's terrorism figures.
Available Kenyan terrorism data records roughly 343 terror-related deaths between 2022 and 2025.
That means the number of Kenyans Maraga says have been killed by police is more than 11 times the number of people killed in terror-related violence over the same four-year period. Think about that.
We have spent years being told to fear Al-Shabaab terrorism, and violent extremism as some of the greatest threats to our national security.
And rightly so.
But what does it say about the state of our country when the number of people reportedly killed by the police is an order of magnitude greater than those killed in terror-related attacks?
The police are supposed to protect citizens from violence.
They are supposed to be the institution standing between citizens and those who want to harm them.
The State gives them uniforms, guns, training, and extraordinary powers because we are supposed to trust them with our lives.
So when thousands of citizens are reportedly dying at the hands of the very institution tasked with protecting them, this is no longer simply a conversation about police brutality. It is a national security question.
Who is protecting Kenyans from those who are supposed to protect Kenyans?
And perhaps that is the figure we should all be struggling to comprehend: 3,958.
Not a statistic.
Not a political talking point.
3,958 human beings.
3,958 families.
3,958 stories.
3,958 people who did not go home.
And if a terrorist organization killed anything close to that number of Kenyans, we would quite rightly call it a national catastrophe.
So why should the identity of the person holding the gun change the seriousness with which we treat the death?
A terrorist killing a Kenyan is a threat to the State.
A police officer unlawfully killing a Kenyan is also a threat to the State.
The difference is that one is supposed to be our enemy. The other is supposed to be our protector.

I had a payslip when this idiot came to power. 2022. I was earning considerably well. I would have had a family.
Right now: 4 years later, 15+ of my former colleagues are struggling. Right now I don't even even a single shilling in my savings. I used all my savings to save my life when I got Pneumonia as SHA shıt couldn't help.
Now tuko end month, sina hata income. Rent is due. My bills are due. I have a pending surgery.
What I want him to know is that he is going home. And within an year he will be in jail.
He doesn't care. We won't care when guillotine goes through him.
Kwa muda tu.
Tumekubali kuteswa. But soon yeye pia tutamtesa.
Edwin Sifuna: Let me face Ruto at the ballot; he thinks there are people who are afraid of him. The Constitution says the office of the President is a symbol of national unity, but Ruto is a symbol of our collective embarrassment and shame as Kenyans
