Mnakumbuka the famous Mandera–Elwak–Samatan–Modogashe road that went viral sometimes back?

If words could pave roads, the Isiolo–Mandera highway would have been a dual carriageway by now😂

After 8½ years of advocacy & litigation I recovered the 843 acres (341.2 HA) piece of government land in Busia County from fraudsters who had stolen it and I restored it to the public. ... {Nasewa Land, a thread}

In October 2013, a man called Bogonko Bosire disappeared. Bogonko, previously a writer with Agence France-Presse, became a blogger for hire after losing his job. He ran a website, Jackal News, where it is said he would post articles for a round of beer. One of the posts he was hired to publish was a leak of the names of witnesses lined up to testify against then President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy, William Ruto, at the International Criminal Court (ICC), for their alleged roles in the 2007-2008 post-election violence.

Not long after - probably because of the incriminating knowledge he possessed - Bogonko mysteriously disappeared from the face of the earth. He was abducted, murdered, and his body was never found. Three months later, in December the same year, Albert Muriuki went missing from State House, Nairobi. Muriuki had worked as an intern at the International Criminal Court (ICC) before being appointed to State House. Bogonko and Muriuki were “disappeared” after finishing their dirty job of publicly exposing ICC witnesses.

Many of the witnesses recanted their testimonies after being threatened, while others were paid off. A killer police squad called Kwekwe was formed to hunt down and kill the stubborn ones who refused to recant. The ICC suspects knew who to kill or target because they had a hit list The Kwekwe squad officers were also eliminated after killing the witnesses. The ICC suspects hired a “cleaner” to eliminate the men they had used to do their dirty job.

While Bogonko and Muriuki likely got what they deserved for sleeping with the devil, there are four women who dared to resist the rich and powerful and did not deserve to be murdered.

Nancy Waithera, an employee of the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF), was taken out by a sniper as she walked along Kaunda Street in Nairobi on February 17, 2023. She was a whistleblower in a Ksh 1.1 billion scandal involving NHIF CEO Geoffrey Mwangi, who had initially been suspended but returned after he was cleared by the court. Her killers are still walking scot-free.

On July 15, 2021, 67-year-old environmental activist Joannah Stutchbury was shot six times outside her Kiambu home as she got out of her car to clear the driveway, which had been blocked by tree branches. At the time, the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI), George Kinoti, said preliminary investigations indicated that Stutchbury might have been killed for her resistance to the encroachment and illegal construction of a road, and the grabbing of Kiambu forest.

Earlier in March of the same year, the body of a senior officer with the National Land Commission (NLC), Jennifer Itumbi Wambua, was discovered in a field in Ngong after she had been reported missing on March 12. Wambua was a key witness in a case where a deputy governor and a former top civil servant were charged with conspiring to defraud the government of Ksh 122.3 million.
Recently, another mysterious disappearance has hit the headlines. Esther Wairimu is the most senior legal officer at Kenya Forest Service HQ on Kiambu Road. She has served in the position for over 10 years.
On Tuesday, June 9, 2026, she reportedly arrived home from work and told her family that she was feeling uncomfortable after being asked to sign certain documents in the office. She vowed not to return to work.

Nevertheless, she reported to work at approximately 10 a.m. the following day and worked until around 2 p.m. when she left for her home in Juja. Upon reaching Juja town, she alighted from the vehicle she was travelling in and went into Senate Hotel to check out the gym, and disappeared.
For the past three weeks, search efforts by her family, friends, and colleagues have yielded no results. They combed the area around Juja on foot, by vehicle, and even with drones, but to no avail. She disappeared at a time when there are many attempts to grab public land, including inside the forest where she worked, Karura Forest. Yesterday, her decomposing body was found in a forest in Gatundu. She had been abducted and murdered.

In July 2022, two Indian nationals, Mohamed Zaid Sami Kidwai and Zulfiqar Ahmed Khan, alongside their Kenyan taxi driver Nicodemus Mwania Mwange were shot and killed by the police. When Ruto became president, he ordered the police officers charged with the killing to be prosecuted. Officers from the Special Service Unit who had abducted the three men, and those from the National Intelligence Service who had helped do the tracking, were arrested. Additionally, Kenya Wildlife Service officers who had helped dispose of the remains where they would be eaten by wild animals, were also charged. So, to the men and women carrying out abductions and assassinations on orders from above, you will face your day in court.

Fox News aired this to scare the American public.

Empire rots the soul at home.

Not with dramatic, visible corruption.

With the slow normalization of the unacceptable.

The homeless person outside the office building of the wealthiest corporation in human history. Normal.

The insulin-rationing. Normal.

The politicians who enter public service at a middle-class salary and leave as multimillionaires without anyone in the serious press treating this as something requiring serious explanation. Normal.

The children in the richest country on earth doing active shooter drills. Normal.

The veterans sleeping under bridges in the cities of the country that thanks them for their service at every football game. Normal.

Normalcy is the most powerful political force on earth.

Not ideology. Not propaganda.

Just the daily, accumulated, habituated sense that this is how things are, this is how they have always been, this is the weather, not the architecture.

Empire produces this normalcy deliberately.

It requires it.

A population that sees the abnormality clearly would ask questions about the infrastructure of the abnormality.

The infrastructure prefers not to be questioned.

So it makes the abnormal normal, and the normal invisible, and calls the people who point at it idealistic, naive, or dangerous.

And the rot continues.

Quietly. Politely. On schedule.

The moment a political movement in America threatens actual class power, not cultural norms, not symbolic representation, not rhetorical radicalism, but the actual redistribution of resources from people who have too much to people who have too little, the response is not debate.

The response is destruction.

Not always physical.

Character. Credibility. Association. Legal. Financial.

They destroyed the Black Panther Party’s free breakfast program, which was feeding 20,000 children a day, not because it was violent, but because it was effective and it was building the wrong kind of politics.

J. Edgar Hoover called it the most dangerous program in America.

A breakfast program.

For children.

That is the tell.

They will tolerate any amount of radical aesthetics, radical language, radical identity politics.

The line is drawn at the moment the politics touches the money.

Remember where the line is.

It tells you everything about what they are actually afraid of.

[Mumbi. @miss_mumbzk]

This is how I think about mutual aid for example. Is it freedom? No, not at all. At best the practice of exchanging resources on the basis care is a way of prefiguring the world we want to live in.

But will it help prepare the ground for it and/or help many survive the present? Absolutely.

Never allow the government hoodwink you. They absolutely owe you functioning systems, clean water, healthcare, security, housing, job opportunities, and basic human dignity. It is within their constitutional mandate; that is literally their core purpose and duty.

Not all Kenyans, just 6; Uhuru Kenyatta, William Ruto, Henry Kosgey, Francis Muthaura, Joshua Arap Sang and Mohammed Hussein Ali.

They were charged for masterminding the 2007–2008 post-election violence in Kenya that left over 1,100 people dead and more than 600,000 displaced.

Revolutions are made by people who have done the math and concluded they have nothing left to protect.

The genius of late capitalism is that it never lets the math resolve that cleanly.

You have debt, yes, but you also have a 401k, small, underfunded, but real.

You have a mortgage that owns more of the house than you do, but it's still called "your house."

You have a job that could disappear tomorrow, but hasn't yet.

You have healthcare tied to that job, fragile, contingent, but present.

Every one of these is a small leash.

Not strong enough to make you safe.

Strong enough to make you cautious.

You're not trapped by chains.

You're trapped by a thousand small tethers, each one too minor to revolt over, all of them together heavy enough that you never do.

When you mention Odious Debt, the looters tremble. In just 4 years, Ruto has borrowed more than Uhuru did in 8. The silence of beneficiaries is deafening.

The police were originally established to protect private property and maintain and stabilize the current economic system. This has been the case in all historical economic systems (slavery,feudalism,and now capitalism).The only way out is overthrowing the current system and

The promise of colonialism has always been the same: surrender your dignity, abandon your dead, betray your people, and in return we’ll let you participate in your own subjugation. What an offer.

[Biggest Mack @Big_Mck]

Space X is not worth more than the entire West Africa. Space X’s worth is fabricated. The foundation of Elon’s Space X production chain is the Democratic Republic of Congo, which supplies 70% of the world’s critical minerals. This is exactly why the U.S. government (Elon’s sponsor) is interested in the DRC with a fake peace deal. It’s important to understand these things to avoid celebrating artificial trillionaires. Haba!

[ㄖchibo @0chibo_]

LRT, mnajua kweli how the Kenyan police actually started?

The East Africa Police was established by the British colonial state to protect three things: European settlers, colonial officials, and the Uganda Railway, from the Afrikans.

The police were built to control us, not protect us.

"The struggle of people against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting."

We call upon Kenyan workers, women, and youth to stand firm and remember to remember the state actions of June 2024 and June 2025. We refuse to forget!

All are invited, let's meet tomorrow!
