Now the government wants to start selling citizens’ data in the name of raising revenue. Today it is “anonymised data”, tomorrow it is another excuse, and the day after that there will be nothing left that is not for sale.
At what point does a government stop treating the country like a marketplace and start doing its basic job, funding hospitals, schools, and infrastructure from a functioning economy, not endless schemes of “raising revenue”?
Every few months it is a new charge, a new levy, a new asset sale, a new monetisation strategy. Yet Kenyans are still asking the same question: where is the money going, and why are essential services still collapsing?
You cannot run a country on desperation economics.
As the country reflects on the rising cases of school unrest and dormitory fires, we must move beyond simply blaming students and confront the deeper systemic issues facing our education sector.
Many of our schools were originally designed to accommodate 500 or 600 students. Today, some of these same institutions are struggling to host 2,000 or even 3,000 learners using infrastructure that was never expanded to match the growth in enrollment.
Dormitories are overcrowded. Dining halls are overstretched. Sanitation facilities are under immense pressure. In some schools, students must bathe in shifts because the available facilities cannot serve the numbers enrolled. Privacy is limited, personal space is non-existent, and basic amenities are stretched beyond capacity.
At the same time, students are navigating intense academic pressure, rigid schedules, social challenges, and uncertainty about their future. When thousands of young people are packed into environments that cannot adequately meet their physical and psychological needs, stress levels inevitably rise.
This does not excuse the destruction of school property. Burning dormitories and vandalising facilities endangers lives and undermines education. However, if we are serious about preventing unrest, we must also be honest about the conditions under which many students are living and learning.
The solution lies not only in discipline, but also in investment. We must expand school infrastructure, improve student welfare services, strengthen guidance and counselling programs, and ensure that enrollment growth is matched by adequate facilities and staffing.
A country with a rapidly growing youth population cannot continue relying on infrastructure built for a different era. If we ignore the pressure building within our schools, we should not be surprised when it manifests in destructive ways.
The conversation must move from blame to solutions.
On a day like this, we lost Albert Ojwang.
One year later, his family, friends, and many Kenyans are still waiting for what should never be delayed: truth, accountability, and justice.
The passage of time does not diminish the value of a life lost, nor does it erase the responsibility of institutions to provide answers. Justice delayed continues to deepen pain and undermine public confidence in the very systems meant to protect citizens.
School unrest is not just a discipline problem. Many schools built for 500–600 students are now hosting 2,000–3,000 learners without corresponding expansion of dormitories, classrooms, dining halls, and sanitation facilities.
In some schools, students have to bathe in shifts because the facilities cannot handle the population. Overcrowding, lack of privacy, and constant pressure create an environment of stress and frustration that cannot be ignored.
Burning dormitories is wrong and endangers lives. But if we want lasting solutions, we must address the underlying issues: overcrowded schools, overstretched infrastructure, inadequate counselling services, and rising student stress levels.
What exactly won't this government sell in the name of "raising revenue"?
First it was taxes. Then levies. Then public assets. Now it is government-held datasets generated by citizens going about their daily lives.
At some point, there will be nothing left to monetise.
A government's primary responsibility is to grow the economy, create an environment for investment, support businesses, and expand the tax base through prosperity not constantly search for new things to sell
The judgment appears to leave a significant tension unresolved.
A finding that a person was denied a fair hearing ordinarily goes to the heart of the decision-making process. Fair hearing is not a peripheral right that can be separated from the outcome; it is a constitutional prerequisite for the validity of the process itself.
That is why many legal observers will ask: if the impeachment process was tainted by a violation of due process, how does the resulting Senate determination remain unaffected? The relationship between procedural fairness and the validity of the outcome requires careful legal explanation.
The second question concerns the practical consequences of the judgment. If the impeachment process is found to have suffered constitutional defects, what does that mean for the legal disabilities arising from that process? Does the judgment remove them, preserve them, or leave the matter for another court to determine?
Ultimately, constitutional litigation should bring clarity and legal certainty. Where a judgment simultaneously identifies a violation of fundamental rights while preserving the consequences flowing from the impugned process, questions are bound to arise regarding the coherence of the legal reasoning.
I suspect this matter is far from concluded and may ultimately require appellate clarification.
The difficult legal question is where to draw the line. If the violation was serious enough to justify a KSh 50 million award, some will argue it should also have affected the impeachment's validity. Others will argue that the court was entitled to separate the personal injury caused by the rights breach from the institutional validity of the Senate's decision.
Greed can unite people faster than principle ever will, but it cannot hold them together. Rutt and Gachagua’s alliance was never anchored in conviction , it was anchored in appetite. Appetite, by its nature, is never satisfied.

Kenya is standing at a crossroads. For too long, politics has been reduced to positions, alliances, and elite arrangements that rarely translate into meaningful change for ordinary citizens.
The result has been a system where power circulates at the top, while the everyday struggles of the people remain unresolved: unemployment, rising cost of living, weak public services, and widening inequality.
But a new chapter is emerging.
Safina is championing the 3rd Liberation: Economic Freedom.
It is a commitment to re-centre Kenya’s political and economic agenda on productivity, opportunity, and fairness. It is about shifting the focus from political settlement to economic transformation from managing power to improving lives.
Economic freedom means creating an environment where work is rewarded, enterprise is supported, corruption is confronted, and national resources are directed toward development rather than political preservation.
We believe leadership must be judged not by how well it negotiates power, but by how effectively it expands opportunity for the people.
The 3rd Liberation is about placing Kenya’s economy and its people at the centre of every decision.
That is the future we are building.
Our focus as the Safina Party is clear: the people and the economy come first, not backroom negotiations over political positions for legacy politicians.
Leadership, in our view, must be defined by service, practical solutions, and measurable improvements in the livelihoods of ordinary citizens. It should never be reduced to the recycling of entitlement, patronage arrangements, or power-sharing deals that are detached from the real conditions facing households across the country.
Kenya is facing urgent economic and social challenges from unemployment and rising cost of living to weakened public services and growing inequality. These are the issues that demand full attention, not endless political bargaining among elites whose priorities are increasingly disconnected from the lived reality of the people.
We believe leadership is not a reward system for political loyalty or historical influence. It is a responsibility to deliver outcomes: jobs, stability, opportunity, and dignity for every Kenyan.
Kenyans deserve leadership that listens carefully, acts decisively, and delivers consistently not leadership that negotiates positions while the country waits for solutions.
The time for people-centred governance is now.
