Because Matatu operators are the ones who have called off the strike, Kenyans MUST REFUSE to pay hiked fares. Since they are the ones in dialogue with the government, they should not pass on the cost of their dialogue to innocent, underpaid and overtaxed Kenyans!

There’s a big part of me that honestly believes we deserve everything we get from these politicians. Because how do we keep watching the same people mess this country over and over again and still act surprised?

We have a generation that’s too comfortable letting Gen Zs fight for the country while they sit and comment from a distance. How are you in your late 30s, 40s, 50s okay watching your children or younger siblings fight battles for problems you helped create? You voted for thieves, defended them, campaigned for them, and when they get back in office you act like victims.

Look at what’s happening right now. Our lecturers are on strike. Students are stranded. Campuses are falling apart. But a whole CS is in another country praising their universities and lecturers as if ours don’t exist. How disconnected can you be?

Our healthcare system is collapsing. Hospitals have no medicine, doctors and nurses are exhausted and underpaid. When these politicians fall sick or want to give birth, they fly out for treatment instead of fixing the same hospitals they destroyed. They go to countries whose hospitals were built by LEADERS who cared about their people.

We have MPs passing harmful laws that directly affect the same people who voted for them. They show up, collect allowances, and disappear until the next campaign season. And still, we say “tutawafundisha lesson next election.” How many lessons have we taught so far?

Then there’s the Kenyan middle class. The most delusional ones, the ones who think national issues don’t concern them. As long as they have Wi-Fi, their kids are in private schools, and they can drive to work, everything else is “noise.” They don’t realize that the same system they ignore will come for them too :when taxes rise, when school fees double, when the economy finally collapses and insecurity rises due to lack of jobs for the “common” mwananchi…

We can’t keep outsourcing courage from Gen Z. Every generation that stays silent makes it worse for the next one. This habit of saying “minding my own business” is why nothing changes. Because those who created the mess never stay to clean it up.

And before we complain again, here’s the truth we actually have power, we just don’t use it.
We can recall MPs who betray the people, but we never do!! That’s why they’re comfortable saying they want to copy this and this from China coz they know you guys aint shit.. We can demand accountability, but we don’t..We can organize locally, but we wait for someone else to start

If we were serious, we’d start showing up for public meetings, asking questions, and refusing to clap for politicians who don’t deliver. We’d rebuild civic awareness and stop acting like politics ends at voting. We’d stand with those who are fighting instead of mocking them. And we’d vote with memory , not tribe, not token, not empty promises.

Because if nothing changes, one day your child will ask you what you did when this country was falling apart and silence won’t be a good enough answer.

For me, I will continue using my platforms no matter what 🚶🏾‍♀️🚶🏾‍♀️

This is not a joke, and history already gave us a warning shot, Tahrir Square, Egypt, 2011, millions of young Egyptians flooded the streets and brought down a brutal dictator called Mubarak, but they made one fatal mistake, they thought the revolution ended when the man left, they didn’t crash the system, they didn’t burn its blueprint, so what happened is the same system reshuffled itself, came back stronger, and crushed the very people who sparked the revolution, many were jailed, others disappeared, and the military men, the businessmen, the old political elite are still running Egypt today.

That should terrify Kenyans, because unless this youth movement becomes Kenyans versus the political class, all of them and not just the ones currently in power, then it is already on track to be hijacked by the very people who have looted this country dry, killed its dreams, and written off its youth as a liability instead of its greatest asset.

Let’s be blunt because sugarcoating only helps the enemy, you cannot fix a rotten system by selecting new managers from the same poisoned pool, you don’t solve theft by electing another thief with better PR, you don’t cure corruption by letting cartels rebrand themselves in youth lingo and emojis, and you certainly don’t save a country by believing a savior is coming from the same elite that destroyed it.

Every familiar name from UDA to Azimio, from Raila to Ruto to Rigathi is part of a rotating cartel that loots together, lies together, and launders their crimes using manufactured tribal loyalty and empty promises of unity, yet when the tear gas comes or the economy collapses, it is not their children suffering but yours.

This is why Kenya needs fresh hands, people who have never touched public money, never sat in fake bipartisan talks, never tasted tenders or been cushioned by tribal politics, people not born of the system, who owe no allegiance to party bosses or shadow billionaires, and who understand that real change means crashing the system, not editing it.

So to the Kenyan youth, this moment is not for jokes, not for clout-chasing influencers, not for half-measures or celebrity politicians pretending to be on your side, if you blink they will steal your pain and turn it into campaign posters, if you sit back they will remix your chants into their stale manifestos, and if you compromise even for a second they will rewrite this story and make you the villain.

Egypt blinked and they paid in blood, don’t make the same mistake, this is Kenya’s one shot at a clean slate, crash the system completely or get swallowed by it, there is no middle ground, no shortcut, and no redemption inside a structure built to protect the looters.

We don’t need a politician to bring down another but unity and numbers

Walk the talk and impose sanctions on these people and their families. Freeze their assets. Revoke their visas. Put your money where your mouth is.

The State House Maintenance Budget has risen sharply since the new government took over in 2022:

[Willis Evans Otieno @otienowill]

You wake up at 5AM not to build hospitals, not to fix roads, not to feed children .
But to wrap Parliament in wire like a crime scene.
You barricade the city like you’re under siege. But the only thing you’re hiding from is the truth.

You don’t fear bandits. You don’t fear cartels. You don’t fear the murderers in government.
You fear the teacher who speaks out. The youth who stands up. The mother who says ‘enough.’
That’s who you fear. Because you know ; once the people wake up, you can’t govern them with lies anymore.
