@ivymuthe Africa will truly be free when Africans proudly speak African languages. Our languages carry our history, identity, and culture. Why should we think in English but dream in Swahili, Yoruba, Zulu, Amharic, or Kikuyu? Preserve the language, preserve the people.

[IVY @ivymuthe]

For the first time, I am with President Suluhu on this. Why should she be forced to speak their language? Russia uses its own language, so she would need a translator anyway. Shouldn't she speak Swahili instead, forcing them to need a translator too?

8 different protests are planned in Mexico today as the opening World Cup match between South Africa and Mexico takes place.

But in Kenya, a mere CHAN or AFCON tournament comes around, and suddenly bloggers, influencers, and government defenders appear everywhere telling people "don't protest" and "don't mix politics with sports."

Tell me, are Mexicans dumb?

Among the groups expected to mobilize today are:

• CNTE (teachers' union)
• Searching mothers' collectives
• Federal Judiciary workers
• Pemex & CFE pensioners
• Transport workers
• Farmers' organizations
• Healthcare workers
• Families and collectives of the disappeared

Mexico can host a World Cup match and still respect the right to protest.

Yet in Kenya, some people act as if constitutional rights should be suspended because football is being played.

Any time you hear someone telling people not to protest, understand they are not defending sports.

They are defending the government.

Rights don't take a break because there is a tournament.

I was equally shocked to learn that the net minimum wage in France is
KSh 215,752 per month!
The French people are indeed suffering more than us!

Gladys Shollei is pushing a dangerous amendment, and Kenyans should pay attention.

Yesterday, during a debate on the Public Participation Bill, she proposed removing a key safeguard: the requirement to publish public participation outcomes.

Right now, Section 12(2) requires that once public participation is done, the results be made public, for example, on a website, so citizens can see what Kenyans actually said.

Her proposal? Remove it completely or
Keep that information private.
If you want it, you must apply to the same authority that collected it.

Let me be honest, we already know how this ends.

We have been requesting NHIF, Housing levy, and capitation data for over 6 months. Letters sent to MOH and MOE. No response. Total silence. We are now heading to court soon.

Now imagine this:

A bad bill is rejected by Kenyans during public participation.
The authority then claims: “Kenyans supported it.”

How do you verify?
You write to them, and they ignore you.
That’s the trap.

This amendment would legalize secrecy and make it impossible to hold the government accountable.
Public participation without transparency is just a rubber stamp.

MPs must reject this amendment.

Kenyans deserve a public portal where participation outcomes are visible, verifiable, and permanent.

Enough hiding.

Article 35 on access to information is becoming ceremonial, and soon, we will prove that in court.

Senegal’s president casually updates his social profile pictures to include the AFCON trophy behind him.

How do you say “come and get it if you can” in Wolof?

Mangroves are often called “blue carbon” ecosystems because they are highly effective at absorbing and storing carbon dioxide. 🌱

The "Multiverse" of Work.

If Spider-Man: No Way Home taught us anything, it’s that the world is much bigger than we thought. The same applies to talent: we are no longer local; we are global.

[The New Times (Rwanda) @NewTimesRwanda]

WATCH: At the ongoing International Security Conference on Africa, Martin Kimani, President & CEO of the Africa Center in New York City reflects on the United Nations mandate including to prevent great wars between great powers.

He noted that UN has succeeded in the most basic ways of its terms, however it has failed its promise to stop wars elsewhere and has been used to shield the allies of great powers when they are committing atrocities.

"The security council has been used as a platform to launch attacks against the very interests of Africa. For instance NATTO attacks on Libya."

@citizentvkenya @kipmurkomen tell us exactly how Kenya is gonna host the CHAN 2024 in February, while we still don't have FIFA/CAF approved stadiums, nor have we set up our local organizing committee.

The deadline is 31st December. But when given a chance to talk, this is all you could say???

Can we all agree that Senate Speaker Amason Kingi has handled Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's Impeachment Motion better than National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula?
