If rumours are to be believed I'll be living with a seventh different Prime Minister shortly. If it carries on like this I'm going to stop making the effort to learn their names.
@Keir_Starmer No resignation will ever make up the fact that you covered up for the rape and torture of Christian girls across the UK.
You should be in prison for what you’ve done to the UK.

A police officer carries enormous power.
The power to stop, search, arrest, detain, investigate and, in some cases, use force.
That power must always come with responsibility.
It is therefore deeply disturbing that many police officers in Kenya continue to hide their names and service numbers while carrying out their duties. This is not only wrong, it is a direct violation of the law.
The National Police Service Act No. 11A of 2011 is clear. Paragraph A10 states:
"A Police officer in uniform shall at all times affix a nametag or identifiable Service number in a clearly visible part of the uniform."
The law does not say "sometimes." It does not say "when convenient." It says at all times.
Why would an officer conceal their identity from the public they are sworn to serve?
An honest officer should have no fear of being identified.
A professional officer should proudly wear their name and service number. It is the rogue officer, the corrupt officer and the abusive officer who benefits from anonymity.
When citizens cannot identify officers, complaints become impossible. Accountability disappears. Justice is obstructed. Public trust is destroyed.
The Inspector General knows this problem exists.
The National Police Service Commission knows it exists.
Human rights organizations have repeatedly raised concerns about it. Yet little meaningful action has been taken.
A police uniform should never become a mask behind which misconduct is hidden.
The question Kenyans must ask is simple:
Are we being policed by accountable public servants, or by individuals who deliberately conceal their identities while exercising state power?
No police officer should be above the law. The first duty of law enforcement is to obey the law.
Every officer must wear a visible name tag and service number.
Police officers are suffocating small businesses that are already struggling to survive.
Yesterday, I watched in disbelief as officers moved from one wines and spirits shop to another, demanding KSh 3,000 from each owner. Those who could not pay had their liquor confiscated on the spot.
It did not end there.
They stormed pool halls, seized pool sticks, carried away the balls, and arrested attendants whose only crime was trying to earn an honest living.
As I watched this happen, I asked one officer a simple question:
"If there is a bar operating inside a police station and even a pool table within police premises, should we also arrest the OCS?"
There was silence.
A young man standing nearby shook his head and said something that has stayed with me ever since:
"Nairobi life is becoming unbearable. Corruption has become the system. Sometimes I wish Uhuru Kenyatta was still the President."
Whether one agrees with him or not, his frustration reflected what many young people are feeling across the country.
The tragedy is that these crackdowns are not targeting criminals. They are targeting hustlers, entrepreneurs, and young Kenyans trying to put food on the table. Every pool table confiscated is a family denied income. Every wines and spirits shop harassed is another dream being crushed.
When citizens wake up every day fearing the very institutions meant to protect them, resentment grows. Anger grows. Frustration grows.
The government should not be surprised when young people respond with hostility at political rallies. You cannot squeeze people economically, expose them to endless corruption, frustrate their businesses, and then expect cheers and applause.
A nation cannot be built by intimidating its own citizens. It can only be built through fairness, justice, and respect for the people who wake up every morning trying to earn an honest living.
