@EAWellness Live your life on your own https://t.co/98pwjMNEvY will be judged regardless.#LivedExperienceKE

[Mwalimu @ms_awuor]

@EAWellness @Maskani254 @nisisikenya When we share our stories, we remind others they’re not alone. Vulnerability creates connection, challenges harmful stereotypes, and makes it easier to ask for help without shame. Sometimes, hearing “me too” is the first step towards feeling safe.#LivedExperienceKE

[Mwalimu @ms_awuor]

@EAWellness @Maskani254 @nisisikenya I’d want us to stop treating mental health struggles as weakness. You shouldn’t have to reach breaking point to deserve support. Let’s build a culture where asking for help is met with compassion, not judgment, and where checking in goes beyond “I’m fine.” #LivedExperienceKE

[Mwalimu @ms_awuor]

@EAWellness @Maskani254 @nisisikenya Mental health support must go beyond awareness campaigns.There is need to create safe spaces, make support accessible and listen to lived experiences. People need compassion, not judgment, and systems that support them before they reach breaking point. #LivedExperienceKE

[Mwalimu @ms_awuor]

@EAWellness @Maskani254 @nisisikenya I wish there had been more safe spaces to speak honestly without fear of judgment, and people who understood that sometimes you don’t need advice, just someone who listens. Mental health support should be accessible, compassionate, and stigma-free. #LivedExperienceKE

[Mwalimu @ms_awuor]

@EAWellness @Maskani254 @nisisikenya Sometimes, the most meaningful support is having someone listen without judging, trying to fix you, or telling you to be strong. Knowing you don’t have to have it all figured out to be worthy of care makes a real difference. #LivedExperienceKE

[Mwalimu @ms_awuor]

@EAWellness @Maskani254 @nisisikenya Mental health has taught me that you can be strong, show up for others, and still be struggling silently. We need to stop glorifying resilience and start creating spaces where people can ask for help without fear of judgment. #LivedExperienceKE

[Mwalimu @ms_awuor]

@EAWellness @Maskani254 @nisisikenya As a teacher, I wish more people understood that we pour so much into our learners that we sometimes forget to check on ourselves. We can be the support system for everyone and still need someone to ask, “Are you okay?” Teachers need care, too. #LivedExperienceKE

[Mwalimu @ms_awuor]

@EAWellness @Maskani254 @nisisikenya For me,it’s simply walking into a space and not having to explain myself over and over

[Mwalimu @ms_awuor]

@Maskani254 @kawive @nisisikenya @KeTreasury @OkoaUchumi_KE I’m willing to amplify my voice online. Most young people have a phone, and that’s a powerful tool for asking questions, sharing information and demanding transparency on public debt. We can turn our timelines into spaces for accountability. #WanakopaTunalipa

[Mwalimu @ms_awuor]

@Maskani254 @kawive @nisisikenya @theelephantinfo @TISAKenya @OkoaUchumi_KE @KeTreasury Borrowing smarter. It’s not just about how much we borrow, but why we’re borrowing, where the money goes, and whether Kenyans can actually see the return. Borrow for productive investment, not to plug endless gaps.
#WanakopaTunalipa

[Mwalimu @ms_awuor]

@Maskani254 @kawive @nisisikenya @TISAKenya @OkoaUchumi_KE @KeTreasury @county_forum This time I’d read the Bill, ask where the money’s actually going, and speak up before it passes. If we’re paying more taxes to service debt, we deserve to know what we’re paying for and where every shilling is going.
#WanakopaTunalipa

[Mwalimu @ms_awuor]

@Maskani254 @kawive @nisisikenya @KeTreasury @OkoaUchumi_KE @mukuru_cjc @county_forum @TISAKenya Absolutely. If we’re the ones paying the debt, we deserve to know why we’re borrowing, how much, and where the money will go. Public hearings shouldn’t be a box to tick after the deal is done. #WanakopaTunalipa

[Mwalimu @ms_awuor]

@Maskani254 All of the above. Treasury borrows and manages the funds, Parliament approves and oversees, and county governments manage devolved resources. Accountability should follow the money, from borrowing to spending. And me,to track.

@Maskani254 With debt servicing swallowing over two-thirds of ordinary government revenues, there is very little left over to invest in essential public goods and is very much worrying.

[Mwalimu @ms_awuor]

@Maskani254 We paid taxes as a "first charge" to foreign lenders, yet the Finance Bills demanded more—costing us the ultimate price: the lives of young Kenyans. As a parent, that pain is an unhealed wound. We borrow, they pay with their future, we bury them. 🇰🇪

@Maskani254 Public debt is near 70% of GDP, consuming over 73% of revenue. This fiscal squeeze directly causes the Sh8,000 secondary capitation shortfall. Budget deficits are pushed to parents via inflated school fees. 💔🇰🇪 #WanakopaTunalipa

[Mwalimu @ms_awuor]

@Maskani254 Yes, you feel it. Every new tax or levy takes a bigger share of your income, leaving less for food, transport, school fees and savings. When fuel is taxed more, those costs rise too. More taxes on the same income means less money in your pocket. #WanakopaTunalipa
