TRUTH HAS NO BIAS.

@otienowill Some people weren't supposed to be burdened with decision making and leadership responsibilities however educated they appear. Wangechunga tu ng'ombe.

I don't know... My sense is that nothing has really changed except that what was previously an effect of colonial citizenship has now become a business. The Kenya government has always treated citizenship as property, not as a birthright. People from "border counties" have always jumped through hoops to get IDs. It's a standard expectation that they have to pay GoK people in the hundreds of thousands for IDs and passports. So if the price is now 15k, it has come down due to "market forces." Foreign nationals who have worked in Kenya for decades and even have children born here are made to beg for citizenship. Kenyan women who marry foreigners face the indignity of being told their children are not citizens, despite what the constitution says. And we all saw what was done to Miguna Miguna.

People need to read Adam Hussein's story about the absurdity of getting citizenship documents. Hussein was told he's not Kenyan yet denied the right to leave Kenya. They can also read @kedolwa_waziri's article on the nightmare of getting an ID.

Let's stop behaving like the latest instalment of commodifying citizenship is new. It isn't. Citizenship in Kenya has never been a birthright. It has been a privilege for a few because it's tied to freedom to access social service and transact business. During colonial times, the only citizens of Kenya were Europeans. Africans were natives. It's still the same dynamics, except what was done with skin color is now done with ethnicity.

If warlords and criminals can easily buy a Kenyan ID for Sh15k, our borders are essentially open to the highest bidder. This isn't a loophole; it's a security nightmare.
Why is Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen silent on this institutional rot?

OPINION: The most dangerous thing a court can lose is not a case. It is public confidence. Courts derive authority neither from guns nor from votes. Their power comes from trust. Citizens obey court orders because they believe judges are impartial arbiters who apply the law consistently, fairly and without fear or favour. Once confidence erodes, democracy enters dangerous territory.

That is why the High Court judgment on the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has generated debate. The court found that his right to a fair hearing had been violated and awarded him compensation. It declined to overturn the impeachment.

In the early years of CBC, I predicted that private schools would make a kill from parents running away from CBC. In fact, I suspected that CBC was imposed precisely to break the public school system and create a market for private schools, because at the time the curriculum was being imposed, foreign investors were buying up local schools and building new schools.

Anyway, Kenyans preferred #CBCisheretostay.

Can we get a clear explanation as to why salaried Kenyans are compelled to contribute to the Housing Levy to finance the construction of houses on public land, land held in trust for all citizens only to then be required to purchase those same houses from intermediaries who profit from public contributions despite adding no discernible value?

If workers provide the capital through mandatory deductions and the land is already publicly owned, what exactly justifies the additional profit margin imposed on the final buyer?

What legal, economic, or policy rationale supports a system in which citizens are taxed to build housing and then required to buy that housing back at market prices?
