@ntvkenya Destroying an ecosystem for a concrete jungle as we pontificate on global podiums about forestation! This must be stopped.
To imagine Nairobi was once known as "The Green City in the Sun".

Many Kenyans move like him.
E.g. We drive the way our leaders lead. Selfishly, forcefully, loudly, a me-first attitude. Just see how people park - the next person will need to enter their car thru the window.
Until we can live to consider each other, we get the leaders we get.
@Paul_Muite@CiruMuriuki@anto_ty Before 1963, businesses had the King's (then Queen's). After, this was replaced with Jomo's. Settlers & biz were harassed for not having Jomo's, portraying their allegiance (or lack of). Tradition followed without asking why.
Hanna Wendot should not be anywhere near the Gender, Arts, and Heritage docket. Her nomination is not just a misstep — it is a direct insult to the countless women who have suffered, survived, or been lost to gender-based violence in Kenya.
Appearing before the parliamentary committee tasked with vetting her for the Cabinet post, Wendot made outrageous, heartless claims: that victims of femicide are “money-minded girls,” and that is why they are killed. Let that sink in. Rather than denounce the growing wave of femicide that has devastated Kenyan families, she chose to blame the victims — young women lured, abused, and murdered — for their own deaths.
Such a mindset is not only ignorant; it is dangerous. It echoes the very patriarchal violence and social stigma that survivors have been fighting against for generations. It emboldens perpetrators and shifts the burden of justice onto the victims. This is not the leadership Kenya needs — or deserves — in such a critical ministry.
The question every Kenyan should be asking is: Where did President Ruto find her? At a time when women are marching, mourning, and demanding change, why would the president choose someone who lacks empathy, understanding, and even the most basic grasp of what gender justice entails?
“May the innocent victims of this tragic event rest in the knowledge that it has strengthened our resolve to work for a world in which man is able to live alongside his brother in peace”

@ElsieWandera Police are in pursuit of a *watchman* at the depot and 2 *mechanics* working on a car. How now?!? Not EPRA, Nairobi County, the owner of the depot... Seriously, no seriously, 🇰🇪 is a crime scene.
@MwangoCapital What saved hundreds of lives was that it was at night. To imagine the trauma of those who witnessed, heard or woken up by the explosion is nerve racking.
Multiple entities and individuals are culpable, and must be held to account.
