From health to rising fees & lost billions: All Kenya's big issues narrow to our extractive system-meant to take from citizens, not build for them. Systemic clarity changes everything: it stops us chasing symptoms & repeating mistakes. Time to demand people-centered institutions.
@SafinaPartyKE@JimiWanjigi@otienowill@edwinsifuna Extractive sys survive when institutions answer upward instead of outward. A merit-based judiciary with periodic retention elections keeps judges independent from politicians while ensuring they remain accountable to the people they serve. Hivo, the pic is complete.
@SafinaPartyKE@JimiWanjigi@otienowill@edwinsifuna Retention elections don’t mean judges campaign for office. They are first appointed through a merit-based process. After serving a fixed term, citizens simply vote YES to retain them or NO to replace them. This strengthens accountability while preserving judicial independence…
@OopsGuess This mentality is str8 up strange n psycho. I know they don’t care for humans but even now wth all this immigration talk on the tl, don’t they see the irony?
You sabotage a state of 1.4B pple, then the next min its ‘why are there so many immigrants’. The cognitive dissonance.
@citizentvkenya Once again, this all boils down to us having an Extractive system. an Extractive system is a system meant to take away FROM you. Underline ‘take away from’. Not to build you.

Kenya's nation-building: A construction site that needs water to mix cement, but the tank was designed to leak-with no mechanism to seal it. Foreman hikes bills, demands endless contributions, promises tower after tower... yet skips replacing the faulty system. New tank needed.

@Mr_Guantai Treasury na Justice institution pia. Zikuwe pple-centric. The process inafaa kuwa gradual isiache gaps. The next candidate kama si this systemic structure main focus kwake, hakuna kitu ingine ya maana atakuwa anasema.
Kenya has at least 5.37 million registered vehicle and motorcycle entries.
At KSh2,000–3,000 each, mandatory annual inspections could impose a gross burden of between KSh10.7 BILLION and KSh16.1 BILLION on motorists every year.
That is the scale of money NTSA must publicly account for.
Roadworthy vehicles matter. But forcing owners of every vehicle older than four years to pay for an inspection annually—without publishing the exact number of active vehicles affected, projected collections, inspection capacity, accident-causation evidence and safeguards against corruption—looks less like road safety and more like another compulsory extraction from exhausted Kenyans.
We must challenge them lawfully and completely: demand parliamentary scrutiny, transparent costing, independent audits, affordable fees, reasonable inspection intervals and proof that this policy will save lives—not merely create another multibillion-shilling collection pipeline.
Kenyans are not walking ATMs. Reject punitive vehicle-inspection charges.
I had to scrub two chapters of my work where I clearly argued that there is no possibility of reforming the police FORCE as it is today. It is a chronically broken institution that cannot be mended. To truly fix things, we have to start from scratch.
