A stolen watch doesn't become yours just because you pass it down to your children. So why apply a different rule to stolen labour, wealth and land?
Reparations are about inherited benefit and inherited loss. Time doesn't erase injustice.
Someone should investigate how KSh 1,000 turns into loose coins and a receipt within fifteen minutes of leaving the house. That is not spending. That is a magic trick.
We elected a clown ๐คก, now State House is a circus & the value of our money has gone to shit like the brains of those around Kasongo.
Someone needs to invent an app where ordinary people upload their unpaid bills and bored billionaires swipe right to settle them.
They get the excitement of finding a match, we get our electricity reconnected, and everyone goes to bed happy. Everybody wins.
They taught African children, in colonial schools, that their continent had no history before Europe arrived.
Let that sit for a moment.
They took children whose grandparents had lived in functioning kingdoms, whose oral traditions carried the history of empires spanning centuries, whose communities had legal systems and agricultural science and trade relationships and philosophical frameworks for understanding the world.
And they sat those children in European-designed classrooms and taught them that their past was darkness.
That their ancestors had been waiting. Waiting without direction or achievement or meaningful civilization. Waiting to be found.
That the story of their people began when Europeans arrived to begin it.
This is not ancient history.
The generation of Africans who received this education are alive. Their children are alive.
The psychological work required to recover from being taught that your people had no history.
To excavate your own past not from lived memory but from archives that were often kept by the people who had the strongest interest in what was and wasnโt in them.
That work is ongoing.
And the people who created the need for that work are still explaining that colonialism, on balance, was not so bad.
We shall Never forget when Sharon Jepchichir said that the mask vendor had to be k!lled because he had provoked the police. She said Bonface wasn't selling masks but protesting. She also thanked police for a a wonderful job of taking Bonface to Sayuni and on top of her bs she's vying for Nairobi Senator
There has been a lot of conversation about Parliament and the livestreaming of election results. So, what exactly is happening?
-In 2024, the Senate passed the Elections (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill, which proposed changes to Section 39 of the Elections Act. This section deals with how election results are determined, transmitted and declared.
-Clause 22 of the Senate's Bill proposed replacing the existing Section 39. In the proposed replacement, the specific requirement for IEBC to establish a mechanism for livestreaming results announced at polling stations was missing.
-Livestreaming allows Kenyans to watch results being announced at polling stations in real time. It gives the public another way to follow the process and compare what is announced with the results transmitted and published.
-Electronic transmission of results is important, but it is not the same as livestreaming. One sends results electronically; the other allows the public to watch the announcement as it happens.
-On 22 October 2026, the National Assembly deleted Clause 22 altogether. In its official clarification, Parliament said this preserved the existing Section 39, including the requirement for IEBC to establish a mechanism for livestreaming results announced at polling stations.
-According to the National Assembly's clarification, the provision remains under the version passed by the House. However, the Bill must still go through the remaining legislative process before it becomes law.
Transparency must be built into the electoral process, not left to assumptions.
Kenyans must also be able to follow how votes are counted, how results are verified and how the final outcome is declared.
As we approach the 2027 General Election, we must pay attention to the laws governing our elections and demand clarity whenever changes are proposed.
An informed public is an essential part of an accountable democracy. #VIP
