JUST IN: US meat traders have written to President Trump urging him to pressure Kenya into removing barriers and allowing more US meat imports.
Their argument? Kenya benefits from AGOA while restricting access to its meat market.
And watch this space: William Ruto's government will likely bow to that pressure.
But here's the question: Does Kenya have a meat shortage? No.
And even if we did, why should Kenya import meat from the US when livestock farmers in Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, and across Africa can supply the region?
AGOA was supposed to help Africa industrialize, not turn us into a dumping ground for products we already produce ourselves.
Africa needs stronger rules that prioritize African producers first.
Three protesters shot dead in Nanyuki. Students shot inside their own hostel at Multimedia University.
Hooded, unidentifiable officers firing live rounds on unarmed Kenyans.
This is not law enforcement. This is the constitution being violated in broad daylight.
As we approach the 2nd anniversary of June 25, we must refuse to normalise what we are witnessing.
Accountability is not optional. It is what justice looks like in practice.
Here is my statement on the current pattern of violence by the Police:
Heavily armed DCI officers in a white Subaru have stormed Great Wall Gardens, Athi River and abducted a man among people protesting water shortage in the estate.
The man was seen being gun-whipped before being bundled into a Subaru Sedan.
