This is me right now. Two years ago I was shot during the June 25 Gen Z protests. I've been living with a spinal cord injury since, and I self-catheterize because of neurogenic bladder.
That led to recurring UTIs and sepsis. Today I successfully underwent surgery at Emory Hospital Nairobi to remove a bladder stone at my left vesico-ureteric junction (5x7mm). The fragments were removed. I'm recovering now with some pain and bleeding, which the doctors say is normal.
@VOCALAfrica_ helped me get here, and I'm grateful. But I still need medication, physiotherapy and follow-up care. I still haven't received any government compensation.
I'm sharing this because I need help for what comes next. Any support means everything. 🙏🏽

@LarryMadowo@ombachi13 You did well Larry. They have to acknowledge the streangth, effort and sacrifices our athletes make and not reducing their achievements to their brands and minting money out of them
@ehdande Exactly yhe problem we have in Kenya and largely Africa. We tend to blame the politicians but it’s rather a value problem within individuals which make us normalize corruption and other vices
@ntvkenya@NationFmKE@MariamBishar@EricLatiff Totally agree, even if we launch infrasracture without values and rule of law the funds will end up in some people’s pockets with little to show. However, this conversation is too complex for the simple minded who believe some hustler promises are everything.
The last journey of the enigma, the titan, Agwambo. He played his part, shaped Kenyan politics and governments. It’s difficult to imagine the future of Kenyan politics without him. For those who depended on him to be elected, it’s time to prove yourselves. Rest well Raila.
@Itumbi_Denis Is it not dump to expect reactions to be the same with different times and generations? Hata wewe, is your reasoning the same as it was 10-30 years ago? Once the president and people around him realises this, they will be able to address issues being raised by the youth.
@MwendiaJnr You need to know that times change and different generations have different ways of dealing with issues. Also tolerance limits get severed with time. So you can’t expect society to react to issues the same way in different times.
I have one question this morning, or maybe two:
In countries where systems work, have you ever heard of an “empowerment programme” where Members of Parliament go around dishing out money, foodstuffs, and other goodies, all from resources that are unaccounted for? Isn’t the role of parliamentarians in such systems to represent the people, legislate, and provide oversight?
Yet, here we are. In a country where the education system is collapsing due to lack of funds for capitation, and where the health sector is on its knees, we are witnessing money being thrown around in constituencies under the guise of “empowerment.” No transparency. No accountability. No explanation of where these resources are coming from, all while the state claims it is struggling to fund essential services.
There is no form of empowerment greater than a functional education system, a responsive, accessible healthcare system and a conducive business environment. That is what the wananchi need. That is what they deserve. Not these sideshows. Not handouts that offer no structured or sustainable solutions.
Real empowerment is systemic, not seasonal. It is about institutions, not optics!
@IamMutati Entry level with expertise? You are one of the reasons the youth are jobless. Get someone with papers and the right attitude, and train them. This is what I have seen been done in Europe.
