I write as I speak. Sometimes I stutter, but... you'll get it.

Do you need books of accounts for your business, a budget, or an outsourced accountant? I'm a CPA with a degree in finance and over 7 years of experience in accounting, so please DM me if you need those services. Let's get your business audit-ready. I file all returns, too.

@shikumungai_ Dr. Salim might be assigned to you shortly.

[Waithera @sixofeight_]

@JosephGitari @Honeyfarsafi @NetoAgostinhoMP Make those jokes to your mom then, if they're not that serious.

[Waithera @sixofeight_]

@shikumungai_ Saaaame! Ati they weren't clear of the consequences of their actions. Lighting up a fire when others were asleep? Blocking exits? 16 year olds? We infantalize people too much.

[Waithera @sixofeight_]

@KaptenMwendwa @PeggyJo99873394 @JaokooMoses As far as you know...

[Waithera @sixofeight_]

@Benign_Overlord True.

[Waithera @sixofeight_]

@PeggyJo99873394 @KaptenMwendwa @JaokooMoses Yeah, when man's justice fails, the universe remembers and corrects wrongs. I only wish it would affect the perpetrators directly and not carry into future generations.

[Waithera @sixofeight_]

@georgediano Like the deep reasoning that preceded St. Kizito and Kyanguli, sio?

[Waithera @sixofeight_]

@tiny_charoh Even burning the dorms at night when their mates were asleep already shows the intention. They'd have done it during preps, so... they had the motive to harm.

[Waithera @sixofeight_]

This thread..😢

[I may have @QuincyWandera]

I was working with the red cross when the Kyanguli fire happened. The morning after the fire we went to pick up bodies. I removed severed limbs of kids that tried to escape through the roof. The dormitory door had been chained from outside. At the said door, was a pile of bodies

[Waithera @sixofeight_]

@mumiasfinest @_stayliquidd You forget they're not always at home. They can consume a lot more stuff while away from home.

[Waithera @sixofeight_]

@miss_mumbzk This infantalization again...

[Waithera @sixofeight_]

@TheAworiBabe 🤣🤣🤣

[Waithera @sixofeight_]

@Mwende_Mugambi I hope most died of smoke inhalation before the fire got to them. That would be so much kinder..😢😢

[Waithera @sixofeight_]

@miss_mumbzk Both can co-exist. We can blame the system while also holding the perpetrators accountable.

[Waithera @sixofeight_]

@MeranSays @aarchangel7777 They can burn the dorms.. that's okay. But doing it when their mates are asleep and even locking the doors? There's no reason for that other than wanting to cause bodily harm.

[Waithera @sixofeight_]

@amenya_nelson Whatever pain one's carrying shouldn't direct them to start a fire in the middle of the night and block exits. That's intention to kill.

[Waithera @sixofeight_]

@AduiWaUkoloni @wanguwamajani @geriatricabound Why not do it during the day or during preps when there won't be casualties if all they want reduced to ash is the dormitory? Why harm their fellow students who are also victims of the same oppressive system?

[Waithera @sixofeight_]

@JullietNjeri @DanChepta And then they should be prosecuted for murdering their mates. This is so painful to watch.

[Waithera @sixofeight_]

@baroswahjr These are criminals and should be treated as such. Premeditated.

'Colonialism was two grandmothers ago.' 💯

[ㄖchibo @0chibo_]

Wadau, hakuna time. Our ancestors knew everything they needed to live well on this land.

The seeds, herbs, the soil, the rains, the stars, the songs, the names.

Colonialism was two grandmothers ago.

What’s left is in the heads of old women in shags who will die in the next ten years. After them, there is nobody.

Go home. Record everything. The knowledge is not gone. It is leaving.
