When Mumias Sugar collapsed, the towns around it (Shibale, Mayoni, Mumias) all collapsed.
People lost direct and indirect jobs that stemmed from the factory.
You should see the hopelessness and abject poverty that have engulfed the people who depended on the factory.
It is a sorry state around there.
They now roast maize, smuggle molasses, and sell river sand to keep their dreams alive.
Schools around there, which were the leading schools in Kenya (Booker, Complex and Central), are now struggling to keep up.
Business premises in those towns have been deserted and are rotting away. If you have travelled along Mumias - Bungoma road, you have seen the decay in those towns.
He who opposes the establishment of an industrial complex under the pretext of climate is an enemy and should be condemned.
Protect Dangote with his investments at all costs. Kenya must move forward. Kenyans are poorer because they are consuming more than they can manufacture. Kenya needs more factories, more industries and more production, not court orders.
A civilian, Cecil Ouma, was murdered INSIDE the vehicle where he had been with the PS for Youth Affairs, Jacob Fikiri. But neither the PS nor his bodyguards have been arrested. The vehicle hasn’t been seized for forensic examination. The CS and PS for interior haven’t issued any statements. The president is mute. The @DCI_Kenya and @ODPP_KE are hiding, as usual.
And the so- called opposition, even in Parliament, are busy celebrating fake opinion polls, appearing at media talk shows and spending tens of millions of shillings on political rallies!
Kenya is a Failed State!

We thought Fikirini Jacobs was one of us. Some celebrated that Ruto had appointed a youth. Yesterday he shot one of our fellow youths.
Corruption is bad when you’re not involved.
I have this perspective to the killing of Cecil Ouma in the presence of and by the bodyguards PS Fikirini Jacobs. PSs should concentrate on their work as technocrats and avoid engaging in political activities. Similarly, the people should refuse being engaged by PSs in political activities. In the meantime, the PS and his bodyguards should be arrested and charged.
It’s tragic Cecil Ouma, a young man attending a youth empowerment event, was allegedly shot dead by a security officer attached to Youth Affairs PS Fikirini Jacobs. This tragedy must be investigated thoroughly and fully so that everyone responsible faces the full force of the law. There must be no place in our society for such a calamity.
JUSTICE for Cecil Ouma who was murdered in cold blood at Kariokor Social Hall by or in the presence of Fikiri Jacobs, PS for Youth Affairs in the tyrannical Ruto regime. Cecil was an ODM youth leader. Why aren’t Oburu, Orengo, Sifuna and others demanding justice for Cecil?
PS for Youth, Fikirini Jacobs
Yesterday you attended a Youth empowerment meeting at Kariokor
When it ended, you told a comrade, a TUK alumnus , Cecil Otieno to enter your car achukulie youth chai (allegedly)
Whatever altercation ensued in your car remains a mystery
All is known is that your bodyguard SHOT HIM ON THE RIBS, then his body dumped by the road
You were an ODM youth leader who got a chance into government thanks to Raila and Ruto’s post June 2024 camaraderie
Unaua Mjaluo kwanini? Why are Luo Youth still being MURDERED na wako pande ya sirkal?
Mr. President, @WilliamsRuto , ni kura gani unatafuta kwa wajaluo when a PS does this and gets away with it!
Comrades bebeni hiyo maiti mpeleke Talanta annex kwa ofisi ya Fikirini aikule bas
Shoga, ghasia, baradhuli yeye. In fact huyo nataka kufanya kazi yake
Do not rest Comrade Cecile. Haunt your killers
Halafu sangwenya wa tutam,
Next time you get killed and tossed like garbage over 200 bob
We will not speak for you
Msituone makalio zenyu
Sons of puta. Pendejo
You are the same goons terrorizing Kenyans halafu mnakosana na mnauliwa
Learn from Cecile. Obot mineu
"Vitu kwa ground ni different" is a very strategic psychological operation to make you believe that your voice on social media does not matter.
It matters.
It is powerful.
If it doesn't matter, why do politicians post their completed projects here?
