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!
As Kenyans, let's show the world and Africa whom we support.
Like for Djibouti's Mahamoud Ali Youssouf.
Repost for Kenya's Raila Odinga.

#illegalarms; Why Would Ugandan Armed Forces Escort This Trailer, Suspected To Be Ferrying Arms, Per A Whistle Blower, And Hand Over To Kenyan GSU? Why Would They Refuse Scanning & Processing? Why Claim It Was Empty Yet Not? Is Someone Plotting Bloodshed? NSIS, DCI, Kazi Kwenyu!
Jogoo Road, usually the busiest Road in Africa, lies strangely empty today. No vehicles, no pedestrians, not even a single private car. Today's protests in Kenya are unlike any other. Kenyans have reached their limit and are exhausted. #MaandamanoWednesday#Tumechoka.
