Blame the institutions that nominate these representatives. However reasonable it is for y'all to want intellectual competence from this MCA, do Kenyans ever question their political parties for how they nominate these leaders and how equipped they are for oversight roles?

@NelsonHavi This debate on kizungu is an elite status game and a distraction to the questioning of that executive. Y'all, focus

And thanks @NelsonHavi for reminding us about that 2021 High Court ruling that struck down the university degree requirement for MCAs

Coz I worry for many of the upcoming elections and the petitions they will produce, states should make jurors and judges operate under a more unforgiving light of accountability than the one they enjoy at present

[Tyson @odootyson]

As only half of citizens express trust in the courts in most contexts, it is likely that both elite capture and ethnic loyalties have bitten at justice making it sensible to question whose bias is unchecked and the interests that judicial discretion protect

[Tyson @odootyson]

Public trust in judges is wrecked across the board because courts (in a disputed manner) are subjects of political suspicion, for ordinary folks see them as partisan political actors (which some of them are)

[Tyson @odootyson]

The ballot gives every eligible citizen a vote and because election petitions place the fate of millions of those votes in the hands of a few judges, the arrangement demands extraordinary amount of public confidence in judicial independence

The painful thing @malobations is that footpaths along Uhuru Highway and Waiyaki Way were demolished to accommodate the Expressway. Disappointing to always have to balance on those kerbs joh

[Elly Maloba @malobations]

We cant live like this.

We need to start ramping up pressure to GoK bureaucrats and politicians.

They walk abroad but here they love cars because in those tinted windows, they're insulated from public scrutiny and the smell of underdevelopment that they make us wallow in.

@kenyanpundit Intriguing how Kenya's dry bean production fell from 1 million tonnes in 2023 to only 666,000 in 2025 and now USDA is forecasting 630,000 in 2026. And of course, wazee wa KALRO and other institutions will not coordinate around this demand to expand domestic production (as usual)

[Tyson @odootyson]

Always bear in mind that the legitimacy of people's struggles is not to vindicate their sophisticated ideas, for those things in your head. People are fighting to change the material conditions of their existence, to live with dignity, to experience peace, to see their lives go forward, to guarantee their children possibilities that are far greater than those available to them

@_mpekethu_ Policy bureaucrats are the biggest gatekeepers of quality universal healthcare in the country.....na kama kawa ni wazee

[Tyson @odootyson]

The kenyan state is unfortunately very ruthless in its approach to the health concerns that it deems (il)legible. For as long as those (wazee) policy bureaucrats are up there, functioning public healthcare will never materialize. Quality universal healthcare ni ndoto tu

So yesterday I discovered SHA only covers removal of cancerous growths when they’re past 3.5cm.
Anyone in medicine knows that by that time, the malignancy is probably already metastatic.
You look at policies and you can tell they’re weren’t made with people in mind but profits

Parental responsibilities vs. Romantic decisions of a young 19year old bloke but I suspect this is a case of possible coercion

[Nyakundi Report @NyakundiReport]

Parents of 19-year-old Kabarak University student Ian Mutinda Mumo have hired a lawyer to demand answers from Nairobi County Assembly Deputy Clerk Monicah M. Muthami, 57, whom they accuse of taking their son from university and bringing him to live with her in Nairobi.

The parents claim they sold their only piece of land to raise KSh300,000 for his university fees, only for him to end up in a relationship that has raised concerns about his education and future.

Village elders, pastors and the area chief have been drawn into the dispute, with both parties said to come from the same village.

This recent review (2026) @DushiNjenga of 10 studies found that harder foods influence children's chewing patterns and muscle coordination although evidence that soft diets alone causes smaller jaws remains limited

[Tata wa Makodofia @DushiNjenga]

Let me segue a bit from the conversation, but kids need to chew hard things. Talk to any dentist in Nrb and they'll tell you the same thing, urban children have very weak jaws because parents are opting for "soft" foods at any given chance. This will be another issue in a few yrs

[Tyson @odootyson]

Another social failure yawauru

[Tata wa Makodofia @DushiNjenga]

@NdukuWambua It's actually concerning atp. Now add low calcium due to high cost of dairy and low vitamin D exposure as majority of the urban population dwells in apartments and a very worrying trend emerges. Weak, malnourished, poorly developed children

Sir Wicknel Chivayo was the master of the economy of predation

[Cyprian, Is Nyakundi @C_NyaKundiH]

Someone joked that Wicknell Chivayo may be the first “billionaire” to die without even one of the companies he supposedly owns issuing a statement.

But the joke says more about today’s journalism than Wicknell himself, because media standards have fallen so badly that once a man owns a Range Rover, wears expensive clothes and throws money around, journalists immediately upgrade him to “billionaire” and “prominent businessman” without checking whether he owns even one serious company.

No audited business empire, no listed company, no known boardroom, no proper corporate footprint, but the headlines will still introduce you like you employ half the country.

Achille Mbembe said "......one characteristic of commandement in the colonies was the confusion between the public and the private; the agents of the commandement could, at any moment, usurp the law and in the name of the state, exercise it for purely private ends.......But what marked violence in the colony was (as it were) its miniaturization; it occurred in what might be called the details....."

[Tyson @odootyson]

@PacheduZW "Sources of legitimacy and influence have also been displaced and in so doing, the criteria of accountability blurred, since those who impose the policies are ‘invisible’ to the eyes of the people and different from those who must answer for their consequences to the public"
