According to PS of Interior, this is a Kenyan walking to board an Uber to go lock himself in his house and sleep.

There are reports that somehow his body transported itself from the house where he was sleeping and booked itself at City Mortuary as a victim of hit run accident.

watched South African police escort protesters without executing them for 2 days. Even when marchers started looting or vandalizing property, they responded with non-lethal force.

Can police in Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda, and Tanzania learn from their counterparts here?

[Sholla Ard 🇰🇪 @sholard_mancity]

Let me say this: Halima Ngache has been arrested simply because the govt feels she is related to an X account posting details on sensitive movements. One of the main accounts posting President Ruto’s movements is Sholla Ard.

But why is the govt so afraid? The president is protected by the best security, how can a common mwananchi harm him? Furthermore, everything posted is open source. You can find flight details on FlightRadar and plane hex codes right here on X!

BTW, Halima is an orphan. For the state to hunt her down over public data is completely wrong. We have to stand with her. Justice For Halima Ngache

[Sholla Ard 🇰🇪 @sholard_mancity]

To show you how barbaric the Ruto regime is: we are informed that the DCI arrived at Halima Ngache's place, took her phone, and abducted her, leaving her young son at the door completely confused.

They even seized the laptop, phone, and tablet of a friend of hers, leaving that friend with absolutely no way to call for help.

They reportedly carried out this raid using a white Subaru. The friend immediately began a desperate search, going first to Central Police, she wasn't there.

They went to Urban Police-nothing. They met the CCIO, who told them to check Nyali Police Station-they found nothing.

They moved on to Bamburi, Mjambere, and returned to Central-still nothing. Finally, they checked Mbaraki, and still found absolutely nothing.

As we speak, even her family has no idea where she is being held. I have spent the whole of today making frantic calls in Kenya, but we have nothing. Halima Ngache has been abducted. The DCI hasn’t even bothered to explain where she is. The issued a vague statement.

We must speak up for Halima. Whether or not someone is linked to a government-critical account should never be a basis for an enforced disappearance or arbitrary detention. We must Speak up!

Kenya Is In The Red As Ruto Mistakes A Revolution For A Security Lapse

From June 2024 to where Kenya stands today, the biggest mistake William Ruto has made is treating a political revolution like a police operation, because what began as anger over the Finance Bill quickly became a national rejection of arrogance, waste, corruption, overtaxation, police brutality and a government that talks too much while listening too little.

The people who went to the streets in June 2024 were not complaining because Parliament had weak gates, police had poor formation or intelligence officers had slept on duty, because they were complaining because life had become too expensive, public money looked like private property for connected people and leaders were behaving as if citizens existed only to be taxed, lied to and beaten into silence.

That is why Ruto is very very wrong if he thinks the lesson from June 2024 was that security failed to stop citizens from reaching Parliament, because the real lesson was that the public had reached a point where fear no longer worked as the main tool of control.

The first stage of a revolution is pain that leaders dismiss, and Kenya went through that stage when citizens complained about food prices, taxes, unemployment, corruption, medical costs, school fees, public debt and the daily humiliation of watching leaders live big while ordinary people were told to tighten belts that had already cut into their skin.

The second stage is shared anger, and that came when Kenyans stopped seeing their suffering as private bad luck and started seeing it as a national pattern created by bad leadership, greedy budgeting, tone deaf speeches and a political class that had lost the shame needed to pretend it cared.

The third stage is the trigger, and for Kenya that trigger was the Finance Bill, because the bill became more than a tax document and turned into a symbol of a government that wanted to take more from people who already felt squeezed dry.

The fourth stage is the breaking of fear, and that happened when young Kenyans faced tear gas, live bullets, arrests, intimidation, online threats and still returned to the streets with phones, flags, placards, chants and a stubborn refusal to be treated like children of a lesser God in their own country.

The fifth stage is state panic, and that is where Ruto’s government moved from political response to security obsession, because instead of accepting that citizens had legitimate anger, the system started behaving as if the main problem was protest logistics rather than the pain producing the protests.

That is how we arrived at this strange place where CBDs are closed, roads are blocked, Parliament is barricaded, police are deployed like the country is at war with itself and strange squads appear around protests as if the State is trying to scare citizens back into silence.

The use of acoustic weapons and other aggressive crowd control tools shows how badly the regime has misread the national mood, because a machine that screams at citizens does not answer why they are broke, why they are angry, why families are burying children, why abducted people remain a national wound or why public trust has collapsed.

Ruto thinks stronger policing can stop the wheel, but once the wheel of a revolution starts rotating, it does not stop simply because a government has bought bigger vehicles, louder machines, darker helmets and more officers to flood the streets.

This is where necessity becomes the mother of invention, because when you close the CBD, people begin to think beyond the CBD, when you block one route, people begin to imagine another route, and when you militarize one protest style, the public begins to create new civic languages that the State has not yet learned how to police.

A revolution does not always move in one straight line, and it does not always announce itself through one big crowd in one big city, because sometimes it becomes refusal, silence, boycott, ridicule, underground coordination, public memory, electoral punishment and a slow national agreement that the people in power have lost moral authority.

Kenya is now in the red because the same issues citizens complained about in 2024 have not been fixed in a way that people can feel in their homes, pockets, hospitals, schools, workplaces, police stations and villages.

The anger is still there, the distrust is still there, the cost of living is still there, the debt burden is still there, the corruption anger is still there, the police brutality question is still there and the feeling that government only listens when people rise up is now deeper than it was before Parliament was stormed.

The danger for Ruto is that he has armed and empowered the security sector so heavily that officers may start behaving with the carelessness that comes when a government teaches them that every angry citizen is an enemy to be subdued instead of a Kenyan to be heard.

That kind of overconfidence can spin things out of control, because once security officers believe they are the last wall protecting a collapsing political order, small confrontations become national tragedies and every excessive response creates new anger for the next round.

The political bomb coming to Kenya is not a cartoon bomb carried by protesters, but a pressure bomb created by the State itself every time it refuses to solve the real issues and chooses instead to add more uniforms, more barricades, more arrests and more threats.

Ruto still has not understood that revolutions are not defeated by closing streets, because streets are only the visible part of a deeper public shift that begins inside people’s minds before it appears on roads, timelines, funerals, markets, campuses, churches, workplaces and ballot boxes.

Kenya is now past the complaint stage, past the awakening stage, past the trigger stage and past the first breaking of fear, which means the country is currently in the state panic stage where government responds to a legitimacy crisis with security muscle.

The next stage is adaptation, where citizens stop relying on the old predictable protest patterns and begin finding new ways to express anger, preserve memory, pressure power and punish arrogance without waiting for permission from the same system they are resisting.

After adaptation comes the judgment stage, where the regime either reforms honestly and lowers the national temperature or continues provoking the country until public anger becomes impossible to manage through police deployments and emergency speeches.

That is why Kenya is in the red today, because Ruto is fighting the smoke while feeding the fire, and a government that keeps mistaking citizens’ pain for a security lapse eventually learns that the real breach was not at Parliament, but inside the trust that once held the country together.

@Naomikibandi Life has never been cheap or truly affordable since Independence; generations have continued to face the challenge of rising costs, economic pressures, and the struggle to improve living standards.

[Sholla Ard 🇰🇪 @sholard_mancity]

🚨 BREAKING: The government has entered full gaslighting mode.

Aden Duale says President Ruto is being hated because he has brought development to Kenya.

Think about what that means.

The public anger over police brutality, abductions, a struggling healthcare system, rising electricity costs, higher taxes, and an unbearable cost of living is being dismissed as nothing more than "hatred for development."

According to Duale, you should be deeply in love with this regime for:

🔹 The "Development" of Pain: Burying, abducting, and harming young Kenyans whose only crime was demanding accountability and a better future.

🔹 The Luxury vs. Lean Budget: Giving students just 95 KSH per term while billions are spent on travel, hospitality, and luxury.

🔹 The Healthcare Collapse: Forcing a troubled SHA/SHIF transition on citizens while insisting everything is working perfectly.

🔹 Economic "Progress": Higher taxes, expensive electricity, a rising cost of living, and families struggling to make ends meet.

In other words, Duale's message is simple:

"We are serving you pain, and you should be grateful for it."

Some leaders spend years in opposition behaving like intellectual revolutionaries, passionately diagnosing every national problem, attacking government incompetence, and presenting themselves as the enlightened alternative destined to rescue the country.

Suddenly, the same people who once mastered the language of criticism became experts in excuses

[Willis Evans Otieno @otienowill]

Which tax was reduced? Which levy was suspended? Which global market variable shifted so dramatically within hours to justify such a reduction?

A government loses trust the moment its policies begin to look negotiable under pressure but impossible under reason
