A reminder that the Presidency is an office, not a personal hobby. You travel on a state passport, in a state capacity, funded by heavily taxed Kenyans. Demanding accountability for public expenditure isn't 'being bothered,' it's active citizenship.
Who advises these charlatans?
Unfortunately, this approach is only deepening the crisis.
Even the opposition can't touch the economic questions because the required solutions are highly unpopular. Government spending accounts for over 25% of the GDP directly.
It's parasitism. It's not about roads or safety. It's about the money. GoK can't run an economy that produces. It can only extract from people.

This is ridiculous. As long as the roads are the way they are; matatus and nganyas allowed to drive the way they want; no lighting anywhere; no mass public transit, this will be an extractive policy.
Democracy doesn't collapse overnight; it is dismantled piece by piece. Today's complete lockdown of Nairobi CBD and its major feeder roads isn't "security enforcement"; it is a tactical suspension of Article 37 without the legal backbone of a State of Emergency.
Sealing off the entire Nairobi CBD to block a memorial march isn't "security facilitation" it's a tactical suspension of Article 37. Katiba Institute literally got a court order banning these preemptive road blockades. The State is actively breaking the law to "enforce" order.
Those clowns are doing everything in their power to distract from what today is. They're throwing everything at the wall. Which is why, for instance, a mall has suddenly been announced.
There's only one thing today.
One thing only.
It's June 25th.
In India, survival is like an episode of Squid Games. I'm not joking. Anything from the food you consume, the air you breathe, the road you navigate, the building you live in can kill you thanks to the system that rewards incompetence and corruption.
God. These guys are truly evil. We were saying on #MaishaKazini that the government is so parasitic, it profits from the death and unemployment it causes. It killed people precisely because it refused to recognize their constitutional right to demonstrate, now it uses the blood of those same people to "remember the lives WE lost." Who's "we" here? YOU, the ministry caused those lives to be lost. And are you so intellectually bankrupt that you must steal even the words, and the grief, on behalf of those you killed? This is why I despise public relations. It teaches people to manipulate words with no reverence for the truth.
#GoKmimicry
Today as we marched to Parliament to lay flowers at the site where Kenyan Youth were shot dead, police violently dispersed us a few metres from the precincts of Parliament.
I pulled Rex Masai's mother, who was marching next to me into my vehicle as other mothers and victims found refuge in the few cars on site.
We drove away as police men pursued us.
We were guilty of one thing: peaceful demonstration and picketing as allowed by our Constitution in remembrance of these young heroes.
As a people, we shall not relent until we deliver justice and accountability for the victims.
#Ukombozi is nigh!
They should have never been killed!! Asking for a better country does not and should never warrant death. May our heroes continue resting in perfect peace!🕊️🇰🇪
Kiambu Road has several roadblocks today. At the DCI headquarters gate, there are heavily armed officers. There is another checkpoint near AAR Hospital, and yet another roadblock before K Mall.
What Kenyans should be asking is simple: why is such a heavy security presence needed on a day meant for remembrance and reflection?
June 25 is not about one community. It is not a Kikuyu affair, a Luo affair, or a Kalenjin affair. It is a national day of reflection for all Kenyans who believe that every life lost matters.
The memory of those who died belongs to the whole nation. Their names, their dreams, and their sacrifice should never be dragged into tribal politics.
Today is about remembrance, justice, and Kenya’s shared conscience.
That man is now intentionally distracting us with his poorly punctuated, weird tweets. He is just seeking attention so that the focus is on his tantrums. A one-off meltdown tweet might be dramatic, two is intentional. What in the head-of-state faux pas is going on. Smh.
IEBC has set August 10, 2027, as the date for Kenya's next General Election.
