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.
You only need 1 hour.
1 hour of building. 1 hour of writing. 1 hour of lifting. 1 hour of studying.
1 hour of any form of bettering yourself, because it quickly compounds.
1 hour feels like nothing until you look back 365 hours later and everything's changed.
The French cut off the head of their King and Queen for arrogance of a level much lower than that exhibited by Aden Duale in Parliament today. We are tolerating a lot of mediocrity and abuses from our elected leaders in Kenya.
99% of Bills passed in Parliament since 2022, were never drafted in Kenya.
They were brought by slave masters straight from Chatham House to directly recolonize Kenya.
- National Land Commission Amendment act
- Land Amendment act
- CyberCrime Act,
- Privatization act,
- Seeds and Plants Varieties Act,
- National Disasters Management Act
- 2023 Finance Bill, 2024 Finance Bill, 2025 Finance Bill, 2026 Finance Bill.
All these acts are about slavery and control.
We are deliberately being turned into tenants in our own country.
The subscription world where we will have to pay to use a road,
We own no parastatals and the private owners decide when and how we can use them.
Where we live in a shylock economy with personal debts, to national debts and to international debts.
That's how sad and dangerous the future looks like.
If you earn 50k a month, it will take you 5,000 months of working without spending to have saved up to 250 million. That is 417 years of working to have money that a mere CEC of a County Government has lying around in his bedroom. We are killing the future of Kenya
Amkeni.
Have you seen the National Disaster Management Bill that seeks to grant the president mandate to declare a national disaster, prevent movement from territories they deem to have those disasters and forcefully evict people there?
Ebola..Nanyuki?
We should really be thinking about this independently beyond our political stands
There is no justification to import an outbreak in a country that has never reported a single case of Ebola
