[William Samoei Ruto, PhD @WilliamsRuto]

A memorable evening at La Source Vive, where four international artists and a children's choir came together for a stirring musical performance for Heads of Delegation and their spouses attending the G7+ Summit at the Évian Resort.

Set within the elegant atmosphere of the theatre and illuminated by the warmth of the evening, the performance transcended borders, reminding us of our shared humanity and the power of culture to bring people together.

We always talk here about predatory and manipulative women, but we can also talk about uncouth men.

There is a breed of men out there who are lazy and unproductive.

Most of these men are mama's boys. They are still stuck in their mother's breasts.

Some of these men get very good women but mistreat these women, abuse them, borrow their money and refuse to refund.

These men spend most of their time playing video games, betting, watching Netflix, pornography and masturbating.

Their houses are extremely dirty.

They cannot cook. They cannot clean their kitchen. They cannot iron their clothes. They cannot polish their shoes even taking a bath is a Herculean task for them.

They are FAT.

They eat like pigs.

They smoke like a chimney.

They drink like fish.

Their women put up with so much filth and bulshit from these men.

When this kind of man disagrees with his woman, he begins mentioning Amerix.

"Even Amerix said"

"Amerix said I am the prize"

"Amerix said I stay Taliban"

You are not the Prize if you are lazy.

You are not the prize if you are not providing.

We do not condone lazy and unproductive men.

Most of these men are always on Twitter scrolling politics, abusing politicians and tweeting mindless memes and jokes.

Stop this nonsense.

Grow up!

You are the reason women are bitter and angry because women are naturally loyal followers. They desperately want a man who will lead her, give her direction and make decisions for her.

But you are an uncouth man who has no job, no interest in looking for a job, no interest in learning a skill but because your woman is working courtesy of her parents' efforts, you borrow her money all the time. Money that you never refund.

"Hi, babe. Kindly send me 1K, I will refund you tomorrow. There is a deal coming up"

Then he gambles this money or buys alcohol.

Men,

A good woman is a good woman. Don't turn her into a feminist because of your irresponsibility and backwardness.

These men are like this because of their poor upbringing, especially being pampered by their mothers.

That's why I keep insisting that if you are a father, be tough with your son. Don't entertain laziness and comfort.

Your son will grow up to be the most useless human being on earth if you don't get tough.

Do not allow his mother to feminize him. Continuously pump masculine energy into your son.

Good women who are ready to submit deserve good men.

These uncouth men are the type that is waiting for their parents to die so that they inherit the 3-bedroom house in the city, the old rusty Peugeot car and the non-performing general shop where he picks bread and milk on credit every morning.

Don't be this kind of man.

Be a good man.

Grow up!

The young people of this country are the ones that will save this country. Once we return to the values of meritocracy in public service, such talent will not go to waste.

[Cyprian, Is Nyakundi @C_NyaKundiH]

Opposition is weak, and I can see people trying to force Kenyans to love and believe in a weak opposition.

Yes, Ruto can be removed through the ballot, but then what are you offering Kenyans? Matiang’i, Riggy G and other KANU orphans repackaged as liberation?

If you start an impeachment campaign against Ruto and only manage 7 signatures, what happens next? We are the ones who will be abused here on social media as losers, while Ruto gets more fuel to move around saying he cannot be removed through hashtags, bitter Kikuyus, social media noise or people allegedly funded by Uhuru a narrative intelligence agencies want it picks.

And what exactly will you do to MPs who refuse to sign or oppose the impeachment? What will happen to them that did not happen after they voted YES for the Finance Bill?

I refuse to be dragged into political unrealities by Gen Zs and online activists who keep Kenyans inside a coping mechanism instead of facing the actual balance of power.

I used to be that emotional in my early years on Twitter, around 2011 to 2015, not anymore, we have to be realistic.

It is the same reason I keep saying Ruto cannot be removed through protests that run from 8am to 6pm like people are reporting to work.

The summary of everything is simple... Kenyans are not angry enough. They are not mad enough. Not yet.

Facts

[Kimuzi @Kimuzi_]

I think, and that's entirely my opinion, Financially Incorrect is the best podcast in Kenya right now. Followed by Dr King'ori.

[Adel On Politics @Broadbasedgal]

Today in the National Assembly, Ndindi Nyoro tried to display his fake economic brilliance and forgot that he was no longer speaking at those lone weekly press conferences he usually holds

Junet Mohamed was lying in wait, ready to ambush him and grab him by the throat politically and he did it meticulously

[JaPrado. @Dr_AustinOmondi]

I listened to Jimi Wanjigi and Wajakoya keenly and out of all the aspirants they are the only ones with a workable plan to clear our debt. United Opposition says their main objective is to send Ruto home then reclaim corruption proceeds yet their main financier is Kenya 1 thief.

[Sen. Ledama Olekina @ledamalekina]

We must scrap interest on HELB loans. Our youth deserve opportunity, not debt. When jobs are scarce, imposing a 4% interest burden is unjust especially on loans funded by taxpayers. President Ruto must act on this now.

[Rodgers Adai @rodgers_adai]

I looked at Public Debts for Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia 2025.

Kenya US$ 100 Billion ( KShs 12.8 Trillion)
Tanzania US$ 46 Billion ( KShs 5.9 Billion)
Ethiopia US$ 51 Billion ( KShs 6.5 Billion).
Note that Public Debts for Ethiopia and Tanzania are 50% of Kenyas Public Debt.
It is difficult to tell where Kenya's KShs 12.8 Trillion was used.
I will analyse looking at major Projects the 3 Countries have undertaken since 2002 when the three has almost same Public Debts at US$ 7 Billion.
I will look at Kenya last.
Tanzania:
1. US$ 10 Billion Shs 1 Trillion 2,300km Standard Gauge Railway Dar Dodoma Mwanza Kigoma linking Rwanda Burundi DRC
2. US$ 3.6 Billion Julius Nyerere Hydro Power Plant 2115 MW
3. US$ 260 Million JPM Magufuli 3.2km Bridge Lake Victoria.
4. Dar es Salaam BRT US$ 332 Million
5. Kigamboni Bridge US$ 136 Million.
6. US$ 550 my Kinyerezi 400MW Gas Turbines

Total US$ 14.8 Billion ( Shs 1.28 Trillion)
If you consider Tanzania has built more Bitumen Roads (15,000kms versus 9,500km for Kenya), already about 50% of the Foreign Debt is accounted for.
And Julius Nyerere HPP was funded largely from Exchequer. Similarly more than 50% of SGR was funded from Exchequer.

Ethiopia:
1. US$ 5 Billion Grand Renaissance Dam 5150 MW
2. US$ 4 Billion 750 km Addis Djibouti Electrified SGR
3. US$ 1.7 Billion Awash Woldia SGR 425 km
4. You can't ignore Ethiopian Airlines, one of the biggest in the World with 150 Aircraft with 70 Wide Body Aircraft 100% Govt owned. At US$ 250 Million each, that is at a minimum US$ 20 Billion
US$ 12.7 Billion KShs 2.66 Trillion.
Again already about 50% of the Public Debt is accounted for.
And they can even fund GERD US$ 5 Billion from Exchequer.
Kenya
1. US$ 3.26 Billion 600km SGR Mombasa Suswa
2. Olkaria Power Stations US$ 1.3 Billion
3. US$ 360 40km Thika Superhighway
4. US$ 800 Nairobi Expressway
5. US$ 400m Dongo Kundu 17km
Total US$ 6.12 KShs 783 Billion.
When you compare with Shs 12.8Trilliin Debt,bthus is a mere 6% you can see.
I can't think of a Major Project the size of Julius Nyerere HPP or GERD in Ethiopia that Kenya has funded from internal resources the last 25 years.

Remember Kenya has borrowed KShs 6.4 Trillion more than either of those two countries.
Moreover Tanzania has 15,000 km Bitumen Roads more than Kenya at 9,500km
The ex Pres. Uhuru Kenyatta opined that about KShs 2B ( US$ 17 million) was being stolen everyday during his tenure. It is not far from the truth.
If you consider Tanzania is almost double the size of Kenya and people live everywhere.
Kenya, we live in only 30% of the Country. So Tanzania has more Roads, Population and Public services compared to Kenya.
Ideally Kenya's annual Budget should be half of Tanzania.
Instead it is 1.5 times bigger
That is about Shs 1 Trillion 'lost' annually.

This problem started after 2002 because the Public Debts were the same in the 3 Countries at US$ 7 Be each.
The mistake in Kenya is probably the choice of Political System. We chose Democracy where the one who does a better public circus gets elected. So you can end up with more than 90% of elected representatives with a dubious background who can lead a country into the abyss.
Unlike Ethiopia and Tanzania who tend to have Technocratic high quality leadership because of their Socialist past.
If you look at Kenyan Politicians the last 20 years and see who could make it in CCM Tanzanian leadership, very very few can make it.

And today, Kenya cannot do any minor Project without borrowing.
And we are still promoting PPPs as if it is free money.
Useless PPPs like Motor Vehicle Inspections, Speed Cameras, Africa50, Adani etc
So long as Foreigners are doing the PPPs, it is a burden on the KShs and they will have to be paid in US$ FOREX.
Kenya needs now to start thinking about whether the choices of Democracy and Devolution were a mistake.
At the moment, Kenya's future is bleak and nobody seems to have a clue on how to reverse.

Pattern Recognition is also the form of intelligence that causes the most stress.
You will see things that others do not.

You'll feel crazy.

Things will be *so obvious* to you, and others will just deny it.

[Austin Tunoi @austin_tunoi]

Sorry to say this but Raila and Kalonzo were the suitable candidates to take over from Kibaki in 2013. We messed up really big. The massive borrowing, the massive corruption, the massive extra judicial killings, the unequal distribution of developments etc.

[Eric @amerix]

A woman with no hand skills is a liability in a beautiful dress.

If she cannot cook or cannot clean or cannot sew then she cannot tend a home with grace, honour and order.

The hands are the measure of a woman's investment in her home.

Soft hands that have never kneaded dough, never scrubbed a pot, never ironed a shirt are hands that have been trained for consumption, not contribution.

If a man builds, then the woman keeps.

But if she cannot keep, then the home falls because the sweat of the man goes to waste, and he gets tired.

Teach your daughters to learn basic home-making skills.

A skilled woman is a rare woman and rare things are valued.

[Eric @amerix]

Nowadays,

So many women above 18 years can't cook or wash clothes,

Or,

Even sweep where they live.

So lazy, so disorganized and so dirty.

The only thing they know is to come on social media to troll people.

It is shameful.

I pity the men who will marry these sloths.

[Mohamed Wehliye, MBS @WehliyeMohamed]

The G2G thing is one thing that wasn't explained to Kenyans well.
1. There is nothing government about it. It is a deal between private sellers and private buyers.
2. It isn't about price. In fact in my opinion, it is more expensive given oil is bought on credit. LCs cost!

[Walter Areol @walterareol]

I like this new trend where when someone complains about the government people reply with a past post or tweet of the person celebrating/supporting Ruto/Uhuru’s win or actions. We must hold you to account as well. #FixingTheNation
