I have a weekend read for you! It’s a little something I wrote about a trip to Tsavo that’s been published in Nomad Africa’s blog- https://t.co/w3ZyYlXk7Z

Why are so many trees being felled all over Nairobi? This is in a valley in Kitisuru - completely pointless to have these cut. What is happening?? @NemaKenya @GreenBeltMovmnt

Acc no. 22572812. We haven’t had power all morning. What is happening? @KenyaPower_Care

@Onjerika @KalahariReview Hi Makena,
I can’t seem to DM you, but this is Fragments by me, which was published in 2021 by Isele Magazine - https://t.co/rD20lxojYV

@Flysafarilink My flight has been cancelled, but I am not sure what to do now. Will I be refunded? Will I get another flight out? There’s no communication

I wrote a letter to someone I’ll never meet about siblinghood, grief, and showing up anyway.

@dodmichaela We had a terrible experience with the food - terribly done, dry meat, and not worth the price tag. Ambience is great, dessert was fantastic, but the service was also a bit disappointing because of how overwhelmed they were.

Please READ. Poems, books, academic literature, subtitles on movies, pamphlets, recipes. Please please please. Read something.

Account number 22572812 - the transformer you had taken for repair on Lower Kabete Road exploded in the morning. There’s been no power since.

[Tanisha @somaphor]

My account number is 22572812 and you have taken the transformer servicing my area this morning. I hear that we are going to be without power for 36 hours (no prior communication on the matter). This is unacceptable. You cannot just disappear with the transformer without a backup

You still stand there asking, “Why me?”

Why you? Let me remind you.

You have looted this country dry. You have killed our children like a sociopath. You have sold our youth into modern-day slavery. You have fattened your loyal cronies while the rest of the country starves.

You’ve used millions of taxes to renovate a perfectly fine house — a house that belongs to the people, not you.

You are spending billions to build a shiny church, pretending you can bribe God, while Kenyans sleep hungry on the streets you ride past in armored cars.

You dare stand there, after thirty-one fresh graves, and act like you are the victim?

Shut up.

You are worse than Kenyatta and Moi combined. At least they didn’t pretend to be saints while stealing our future. #WeAreAllKikuyus #RutoMustGo

@HealthinfoK @LaikipiaRanches Any stories about this place? My husband’s family are Sikhs from Kitale, but we have no information about the house and the atmosphere in Kitale.

@njerimunditozz Where? Been looking for it everywhere- Amazon seems to have blocked it in Kenya
