My new book "The Law of the Sublime" comes out in November. It would mean a lot to me if you would pre-order a copy today. Thank you so much for your support. ❤️ Excited to share this book with you all.
My heart is steadfast, O God,
my heart is steadfast!
I will sing and make melody!
Awake, my glory!
Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn!
I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
Psalm 57:7-9
You only have the ‘power’ to bully institutions inside Uganda. Step outside Uganda’s borders and your threats are as valuable as a veto in a room where you don’t have a seat.
It takes a remarkably primitive political imagination to inherit influence and conclude that its highest purpose is shutting down media houses. While serious nations are competing to build world class universities, industries, research centres, and militaries, you are proudly advertising censorship as though it were a national achievement.
Instead of helping Mzee leave behind a prosperous, technologically advanced Uganda, you boast about destroying businesses, silencing journalists, and reinforcing the very stereotypes that have held African politics back for decades. You possess the mentality of an oversized political infant who mistakes coercion for competence and inherited authority for personal greatness.
Uganda has thepotential to be one of Africa’s leading economies. The tragedy is that its potential is too often constrained by leaders who still think like feudal chiefs rather than twenty first century nation builders. History has never been kind to rulers who confuse fear with respect, or obedience with legitimacy.
As we speak today, Kenyan politics remains the graveyard of imagination because the people who rule this country keep becoming billionaires without building anything that can honestly be called industry.
Take Rigathi Gachagua as an example.
He is a billionaire today, yet when you ask what serious industry he owns, what factory he built, what product he created, what export empire he established or what invention changed people’s lives, the answer disappears into tenders, land, proxies and state access.
If you want to track stolen Kenyan money today, stop looking for complicated explanations and just follow the plots, the sudden apartments, the ranches, the malls, the relatives and the proxies who become rich without any visible enterprise.
Kenya’s political class has perfected the art of turning public office into private land, then calling the proceeds investment.
Now look at gambling and ask yourself why almost all politicians are linked to betting, Aviator style addiction and gambling companies that drain poor Kenyans every day.
A young man loses his last fifty shillings chasing fake hope on his phone, while the same political class that ruined the economy stands behind the machinery taking the money.
From Ruto to Gachagua and the wider political class around them, the problem is not just corruption but a total lack of creativity.
These people are not creative enough to build industries, so they build gates around public money and charge Kenyans to pass through their own country.
They do not create value for citizens, they create access for themselves, and when they gather in one place, you are not looking at leaders with ideas but at the easiest industry in Kenya for people whose only real talent is extracting money from poor citizens without shame.
You expect this kind of a voter to listen to visions of good leadership from Morara Kebaso? This is why I don’t want to stress myself with politics because I have known and understood the Kenyan voter.
Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.
Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl
