You've been brushing your teeth to fix a problem brushing can't touch.
Modern jaws are shrinking. Teeth aren't. That mismatch — not sugar — is why crowding, impacted wisdom teeth, and braces became almost universal in just a few generations.

You slept 8 hours. You're still exhausted by 2pm.

It's not your willpower. It's not your sleep schedule.

It's happening inside your cells — and the fix isn't a supplement.

That "practical skills" nonsense that we repeat is destroying our young people. My students struggle with the idea of working at something without seeing immediate results. They hop from course to course, seek immediate returns, never master one skill, especially if there are no immediate rewards. When you look at life like that, addiction is only a step away because the results of addiction are "practical." You drink, you get high. It's practical work, when you think of it.

So if you are a parent of young children reading this, wash that "practical skills" nonsense out of your mouth. Teach your child longevity. Skill improves with work over time. Children have to learn to work without immediate consumer rewards. The skill is also a material reward.

Nothing replaces the consistency of work. Nothing. If you don't believe me, follow Prof Marandi's podcast on how Iran was able to stand up to the US. The years of commitment to actual knowledge and work, not cheap accolades, comes with rewards. One of those rewards is philosophical clarity, which we Kenyans were trained by the British and the Americans to hate. And now our children are paying the price.

If you care, teach your children through work, but also through stories. Tell you child stories of experts and skilled people and their accomplishments. That means that you also must also do the work. Dust off those books you swore never to visit again, and start learning about scientists, artists, writers, architects, engineers .... people who did real work over decades. Tell those stories to your children. Stop reading motivational books and this surge of autobiographies hitting the market. Or read @jnyairo on Substack to get a good critical perspective of these autobiographies now flooding the market.

There is no shortcut to thinking. No AI app can spare you that work. And CBC has to go. It has to. The fundamental problem isn't the content. It's the political philosophy. The content is bonga points. And anyway, the mental problems reinforced by CBC have already started showing up. CBC is going to give our children mental complexes which Kenyan psychologists will not be able to resolve, given that they are also so clueless about the system. But to avoid getting there, teach your child to work, and tell them histories of those who did.

“Ballot revolution” is a clever myth conjured up to deceive.

Elections are held within the EXISTING order, colonial laws and by colonial institutions.

The product of such elections is the reproduction of the same looters, impunity merchants and colonial headmasters with different names, different addresses, different suits and different linguistic abilities.

But everyone elected serves the rapacious system constructed by the colonists to extract our resources, exploit our labour, dehumanize us and subvert our cultural values and mores.

Uproot the colonial system—warts and all—and construct a genuine pro-African state based on values of integrity, sovereignty, equity, Ubuntu and social justice.

The Asymmetry of Rights: There in no Equality Before the Law for the IMF
1. Section 5 of the Bretton Woods Agreements Act of 1963, as read with the Schedule to the Act, creates an impermissible asymmetry before the law. Fund Agreement Article IX, Section 2 gives the IMF full juridical personality, including the capacity “to contract,” “to acquire and dispose of immovable and movable property,” and “to institute legal proceedings.”

2. However, Article IX, Section 3 then provides that the Fund, its property and assets enjoy “immunity from every form of judicial process,” except where the Fund expressly waives immunity.

3. The result is a one-sided legal relationship:
-The IMF can sue Kenyans in Kenyan courts.
-Kenyans cannot sue the IMF.
-The IMF can contract, own property, and enforce rights in Kenya.
-Kenyans cannot enforce rights against the IMF.

4. This asymmetry offends the constitutional principle of equality before the law. Article 27(1) provides that “Every person is equal before the law and has the right to equal protection and equal benefit of the law.”

5. Equality before the law is not satisfied where one legal person may invoke the protection of Kenyan law but is placed, by ordinary legislation, beyond the reach of constitutional scrutiny.

6. A statutory regime that allows an international institution to sue, contract, own property, and enforce rights in Kenya, while denying affected persons and constitutional organs effective access to judicial process, creates a one-sided legal relationship that cannot be justified under the Constitution.

One thing that upset Uhuru about 8.4.4. was how easily children of nobodies got education, up to university. The man did not like Kibaki's free education policy. He is not down to earth, not by a long stretch. And Matiang'i shared that madharau and viciously fought against Kenyans working their way into university. Not only did he massively fail children, he also wanted to withdraw degrees earned by people who entered university through diploma programs. He introduced publication requirements for PhD, increasing the amount of vanity publishing. And then, of course, he brought CBC that introduced a second layer of secondary school, so that JSS became the cliff over which children fall and end their education for good.

The reason why Kenyans are blind to what happened to their children is that all this war on education was justified as a concern for "quality" and "honesty." I even asked: do we realize what we are saying, which is that failure of children is something to celebrate? The idea is so racist, because it basically suggests that nothing is good if it has Africans in it. But the Uhuru/Matiang'i PR machine was so loud, it said that I was endorsing cheating and Kenyans believed it.

Uhuru and Matiang'i did a lot of damage to education and the Kenyan mind. A lot. We've been too preoccupied with the hurricane of Kasongo to understand what happened.

PRESS STATEMENT BY SENATOR OKIYA OMTATAH ON THE PUBLIC DEBT CASE RULING

Fellow Kenyans,

Today, the High Court delivered an important ruling in our public debt case.

The Court upheld the @IMFNews claim of diplomatic immunity and struck it out of this petition. While we respect the Court’s decision, accountability for Kenya’s debt burden cannot end there.
We are preparing a separate legal challenge to the Bretton Woods Agreements Act, 1963, against the Constitution of Kenya 2010 to ensure all actors involved in Kenya’s debt processes are subjected to proper scrutiny.

Most importantly, the Court rejected attempts by the Attorney General and other respondents to have this case dismissed. The judges ruled that our petition will proceed to a full hearing on its merits.

The Court also dismissed applications by the former Auditor General, former Controller of Budget, the current Auditor General, and the current Controller of Budget seeking to shield themselves from these proceedings.

This is a significant victory for transparency, accountability, and the Kenyan people.

We will amend our petition as directed by the Court and return on 22nd July 2026. Our mission remains unchanged: to establish how Kenya accumulated trillions in public debt, how the funds were utilized , whether the public benefited and whether the law was followed at every stage.

This case is about protecting the future of our nation and the interests of every Kenyan taxpayer.
We remain focused, determined, and committed to seeing it through.

God Bless Kenya.

God. These guys are truly evil. We were saying on #MaishaKazini that the government is so parasitic, it profits from the death and unemployment it causes. It killed people precisely because it refused to recognize their constitutional right to demonstrate, now it uses the blood of those same people to "remember the lives WE lost." Who's "we" here? YOU, the ministry caused those lives to be lost. And are you so intellectually bankrupt that you must steal even the words, and the grief, on behalf of those you killed? This is why I despise public relations. It teaches people to manipulate words with no reverence for the truth.

Kenyans are being asked to pay more taxes through the Finance Bill 2026, yet the 2026/27 Budget hides KSh 101.37 billion under a vague item called “Other Operating Expenses.” No programme. No purpose. No accountability.

Before taxing Kenyans another shilling, Parliament must clean up the budget. We cannot finance opacity with taxpayers’ sweat.

Last week on Thursday @OkiyaOmtatah,tried to raise an issue on the floor of the Senate where he was constantly interrupted on trivial matters,What he couldn't say on the floor of the senate we have on paper.
Here,

[Okiya Omtatah Okoiti @OkiyaOmtatah]

Today in the @Senate_KE, I will substantiate how public money is being hidden and stolen in plain sight through budget lines labelled “Other Operating Expenses.” OVER 90 BILLION!

If salaries, utilities, travel, maintenance, fuel, training, procurable items, and other expenditures already have specific vote heads, what exactly is hidden under this vague and ever-expanding category?

Even more troubling, the Constitution requires parliamentary approval for all public borrowing. Yet billions are spent under opaque budget lines that escape meaningful scrutiny.

Kenyans deserve transparency, not blank cheques for wastage, mismanagement, and theft. Every shilling collected from taxpayers must be traceable, justified, and accounted for.

The era of hiding public funds behind vague budget descriptions must come to an end. STAY TUNED

Kenyans deserve justice that is transparent, reasoned, and accountable.

Today, I have petitioned the Judicial Service Commission @jsckenya to investigate three Court of Appeal judges who suspended High Court orders blocking the Kenya-US Health Cooperation Framework, but withheld their reasons for doing so until October 2026.

My concern is not that they ruled against me. It is that an immediately enforceable decision was issued without reasons, effectively frustrating a timely appeal to the @THE_SCOK and denying Kenyans meaningful access to justice.

Judicial independence must be protected. But independence and accountability must go hand in hand. No institution is above the Constitution.
