Soon after independence, Kenya’s political elites embraced an Extractive System of government in which a small cabal use their positions to loot public resources at the expense of the ordinary citizen.
Today, under William Ruto, that extractive system has become a full-blown criminal enterprise. Across virtually every public sector, the President, his cabinet, top officials in government, and corrupt businessmen have turned government into their own business. #ukombozi
David Maraga: Fellow Kenyans, this is my personal pledge to you. I will not steal from you. I will not allow my family or friends to steal from you... If we succeed in confronting impunity and recovering stolen assets, we will reduce the cost of living.
Pursuant to Standing Order 53(1), I have sought a Statement from the Senate Committee on Energy regarding the reported non-disclosure of beneficial ownership in the sale of Kenya Pipeline Company shares.
Kenyans deserve transparency, accountability, and full disclosure on transactions involving strategic national assets. Public interest must always come before private gain.

I've just watched footage aired by Citizen TV showing plain-clothes officers shooting at MMU students. Several students are in the hospital now. I've extracted images from the video and amplified them for identification.
The images may not be 100% conclusive, but if you recognize any of the individuals, please share their names below.
This is the legacy of the Ruto government.
Whenever protests break out, and force is used, and the government wants to kill Kenyans, plain-clothes officers seem to appear alongside uniformed police. They are the ones who shoot Kenyans.
Time and again, witnesses report them arriving in Proboxes and Subarus.
We've documented several such cases.
Kenyans deserve answers. Who are these men? Who deployed them? Who will be held accountable if lives are lost?
This is why most Kenyans believe the Ruto government must go.
1. No. of Kenyans killed in Nanyuki Ebola protests: 3
2. No. of Kenyans killed by Ebola: 0
3. No. of Americans killed by Ebola: 0
Ruto has now killed more Kenyans on Kenyan soil than Ebola has
Dear @USEmbassyKenya, are you happy that your Ebola facility is costing Kenyan lives?
