Moses Kajwang: Sifuna is dependable; he keeps reminding us that Raila Odinga spoke about the hardware of the republic and also talked about the software. Sifuna, continue; you're focused on the software of this republic.

WAAAAH!! After what happened during the Homa Bay attack by goons, this woman is saying Homa Bay may have just received its last development for the next 20 years, because come 2027, they will be in the opposition.
I have seen this place grow, it started a small Coffee bench in 2023, it's now a place you don't wanna miss when you visit Nanyuki. Nanyuki Coffee Bench along Nanyuki- Doldol road.
Police officers are suffocating small businesses that are already struggling to survive.
Yesterday, I watched in disbelief as officers moved from one wines and spirits shop to another, demanding KSh 3,000 from each owner. Those who could not pay had their liquor confiscated on the spot.
It did not end there.
They stormed pool halls, seized pool sticks, carried away the balls, and arrested attendants whose only crime was trying to earn an honest living.
As I watched this happen, I asked one officer a simple question:
"If there is a bar operating inside a police station and even a pool table within police premises, should we also arrest the OCS?"
There was silence.
A young man standing nearby shook his head and said something that has stayed with me ever since:
"Nairobi life is becoming unbearable. Corruption has become the system. Sometimes I wish Uhuru Kenyatta was still the President."
Whether one agrees with him or not, his frustration reflected what many young people are feeling across the country.
The tragedy is that these crackdowns are not targeting criminals. They are targeting hustlers, entrepreneurs, and young Kenyans trying to put food on the table. Every pool table confiscated is a family denied income. Every wines and spirits shop harassed is another dream being crushed.
When citizens wake up every day fearing the very institutions meant to protect them, resentment grows. Anger grows. Frustration grows.
The government should not be surprised when young people respond with hostility at political rallies. You cannot squeeze people economically, expose them to endless corruption, frustrate their businesses, and then expect cheers and applause.
A nation cannot be built by intimidating its own citizens. It can only be built through fairness, justice, and respect for the people who wake up every morning trying to earn an honest living.
