👀 In the middle of all the noise around the Finance Bill, one thing became very clear at our Budget Town Hall: most Kenyans are being asked to debate a document they haven’t even seen.

Here’s the actual Finance Bill everyone should be reading before the spin machines take over. 📄🔥

Kenyans, I need your help. Please read through 🙏🏾

Do you remember this story of this young girl that died in Nanyuki as a consequence of being mishandled by the police during the protests crackdown last year?

Remember this account @D__wy (Darwin)? He was present at the police cells when it happened? He's the one who identified the officer who brutalised Julia (God rest her soul) and stood bravely as a willing witness to this case.

Well, as at today, Darwin has been in police custody for 3 weeks. Here's his charge sheet. He's being charged with the offense of trafficking narcotics (heroin, mind you) and the officers behind this case have been frustrating the legal process, failing to produce documents relating to the case etc.

Darwin is being held in Nanyuki prison, having struggled to raise Ksh 50k bail set by court, (has been there for 3 weeks now). The idea of these false charges is to set the cost of civic participation so high to the individual that they refuse to take part in collective efforts if it ever got to it.

I've paid this price myself before. Steep. Painfully. And the state has the capacity to grind your life to a halt, long before people remember why they're doing this to you.

Now, 2 years ago, @IPOA_KE and security representatives assured me that this victimisation of young politically active Nanyuki youth would stop, and we resolved to maintain peace and calm.

It would appear that there's a growing appetite to test the resolve of Nanyuki residents once more. At a time when there are a million and one other reasons pushing people to a seemingly inevitable boiling point.

Fine.

Let's do it then.

This week, we'll attempt to resolve this matter amicably, as I still retain the almost naive belief that sense still reigns within the justice system, however many times I've personally been let down by it.

Then afterwards we shall explore all other available means as guided by Article 1 of the Kenyan Constitution on the explicit absoluteness of the people's power.

In the meantime, if you'd like to support Darwin's bail fundraiser, please get in touch with me.

Thank you.

Again, we ask: why is it that when Kenyans raise concerns, the very institutions meant to respond become condescending?

We are one year to an election, a moment that requires the highest level of public confidence and cooperation.
A Commissioner cannot be on TV dismissing questions by a public they are meant to serve as "a statement being blown out of proportion.”

What happens on election day should questions about irregularities come up?

IEBC is already operating under low public trust. In such a context, even a full stop or misplaced comma can trigger public concern.

Perception is as important as process.
Whether people can read or understand English is neither here nor there. Communication from an institution like IEBC must be clear, precise and incapable of multiple interpretations. Ambiguity (and silence) creates doubt.

I really want to set up a Zoom call between these four people and have them introduce themselves in order.

Some time back I was tasked with writing eulogies for those we lost on June 25.
Each eulogy was built from interviews with loved ones and this one in particular was through a conversation with Mama Rex ❤️

You have a right to mourn. You also have a right not to.

I worry about the insults though. You're polarising one another. And it will come back to bite you.

President Ruto signed the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes bill into law as soon as Raila died (surprise, surprise). An offensive tweet can now get you 10 years in jail or a 20-million-shilling fine.

The way y'all are posting, one of you is definitely getting arrested soon under the new law. Do you think you will be united like you were before with what I'm seeing?

[Okiya Omtatah Okoiti @OkiyaOmtatah]

Kenya bows its head today.

Raila Amolo Odinga was more than a politician. He was a chapter in our nation’s fight for freedom.

Through detention, persecution, and betrayal, he never lost faith in Kenya’s promise. He carried the burden of our democracy on his back and paid the price for believing that this country could be just and fair.

We may not have always agreed with his choices, but we cannot deny his sacrifice. His voice shook systems. His resilience moved mountains.

History will remember him as a man who walked where others feared to stand.

My deepest condolences to Mama Ida, the Odinga family, and the millions of Kenyans whose hope was once kindled by his courage.

Let us carry forward the unfinished dream of a Kenya where truth is not treason and justice is not a privilege.

Rest in eternal peace Baba.

Senator Okiya Omtatah Okoiti

We are in an impossible situation.

Hospital Bills and Funeral Expenses are both high priority at the moment.
None optional.

Our only way out is more money.

We'll stick with our comrades to the bitter end.

[Spry Voice @SpryVoice]

One reason why older generations say Gen Zs and rest have it worse is the absence of hope. The permanent jobs went, hard work rarely pay, public system pathways are clogged, communities are weak! You have murderous regimes like ours, foreign lands are no longer a refuge. Doom.
