The arrest of former Chief Justice David Maraga shows how low Ruto’s regime has sunk.
When a government starts arresting former Chief Justices, activists and ordinary citizens for standing up on public issues, it is no longer governing through legitimacy, persuasion or the people’s mandate.
Ruto has lost the people, and what remains is rule by the gun, intimidation and police power. This is how regimes behave when they know the ground has shifted beneath them.
I was arrested this morning together with fellow patriotic Kenyans during our procession to present a petition to the Kenya Wildlife Services against the excision of part of the Nairobi National Park to construct a 1300-car parking lot.
Our national heritage and environment must be safeguarded from greed and unnecessary destruction without public participation.
In a school fire tragedy, what exactly are police with rungus and guns handling? Grieving parents need counsellors, doctors, school officials and verified information, not intimidation.
They even said Kenya is capable. A country that has pospartum women sharing beds, medicine worth billions expiring in a gov't warehouses is all of a sudden capable of handling Ebola protocols??? Tupunguze ulafi jameni! Do you even care about the citizens?
Kenyan police allowed Arsenal fans to gather and disperse peacefully but they never allow the same youth to protest against the government without killing some

The debate between Gen Zs and millennials is totally imbalanced because we are comparing people at very different stages of life, under very different burdens, and then pretending the answers are already clear.
Gen Zs are right to say they are bold, outspoken and less willing to tolerate humiliation, especially in workplaces, politics and society. That is a good thing, and Kenya has benefited from that courage. But millennials are also not weak simply because many learnt how to endure bad systems, survive quietly, keep jobs, swallow pride and carry responsibilities without making noise every day.
The truth is that we may not get the real answer now. We will only know when Gen Zs are in their 30s and 40s, with children in school, ageing parents to support, rent or mortgages to pay, medical bills arriving without warning, loans hanging over them, and entire households depending on one salary.
That is when life tests political courage, workplace courage and social courage differently. It is easy to say people should walk away from oppressive spaces when you are mostly carrying yourself. It becomes more complicated when your resignation, rebellion or public confrontation can immediately affect your children, your parents, your spouse and everyone who eats from your table.
So maybe millennials were tough in survival while Gen Zs are tough in confrontation, but the debate is not complete until both generations have faced the same weight of adult responsibility.
Let us wait and see whether the same fire remains when life adds school fees, hospital bills, dependants, debt and the fear of one wrong move collapsing a whole family.
Until then, this argument is interesting, but it is not settled......
This fuel increase is economic terrorism against Kenyans.
Petrol is up, Diesel is up. Transport will go up, food will go up, power backups will become more expensive, and every small business will be squeezed again.
You cannot keep looting, overtaxing and mismanaging a country, then punish citizens at the pump and call it regulation.
"Tumefanya rally tano mnaanza kunichocha ati nisimame President tutoe Rais Ruto. That is not what it takes. Crowds in rallies can't make you president"
Sifuna tells his supporters
A Kenyan by the name Elias Wekesa has taken Safaricom to court, and every Kenyan should pay attention.
He says Safaricom deactivated his line after it stayed inactive for a few months, then reassigned it to another person.
When he tried using it again, he was met with a shock.
The number was gone.
Worse, he says he could no longer receive OTPs from his bank and other platforms tied to that number.
This case matters because it touches every Kenyan.
Because your phone number is no longer just a number.
It is tied to your bank account.
Your email.
Your work accounts.
Your private life.
The moment that number is handed to someone else, the risks begin.
OTPs can go elsewhere.
Recovery codes can land in another person’s hands.
Account alerts can reach a stranger.
That person is not just holding a SIM card.
They may be holding access to parts of your digital life.
And if they have bad intentions, the damage can be immediate.
And for families who have lost loved ones, it cuts even deeper.
A parent’s number.
A sibling’s number.
A loved one’s number.
One day, it holds memories.
The next day, it belongs to a stranger.
This is why Safaricom must be forced to create stronger safeguards before reassigning numbers.
Because in today’s world, a phone number is not disposable.
It is identity.
And identity should never be reassigned without protection.
Ruto’s biggest problem is that he hears every public complaint as an election threat and his "debe talk"
Kenyans say fuel is too expensive, he says ballot.
Kenyans say the cost of living is unbearable, he says ballot.
Kenyans say stop police brutality and arrogance in government, he says ballot.
Why is this man so obsessed with elections and winning? What do Kenyans’ daily struggles have to do with his campaign psychology?
The truth is simple that elections are not a licence for leaders to ignore the public until the next vote. Citizens have a right to speak, to protest and to demand accountability in between elections.
When a president answers pain with campaign language, he exposes himself and It means he is thinking more about political survival than public suffering.
Kenyans are not your campaign audience every day please. They are citizens and when they are angry, you do not lecture them about the next election.
