Sixteen girls died in a fire at Utumishi Girls Academy.
Sixteen girls. Not just children. Girls. Young women with futures, with dreams, with families who sent them to school thinking they'd be safe.
While their parents were still identifying bodies, while smoke was still rising from the ashes, while Kenya was asking how this happened and why, someone was on television talking about Arsenal.
Not about the fire. Not about the dead girls. Not about why a school in Kenya can burn down so completely that sixteen young lives are just... gone.
Arsenal.
He was worried that President Museveni was upset he's an Arsenal fan instead of a Harambee Stars fan. So he took time out of his day to send a message to Museveni saying he supports both teams.
This is what we're dealing with. A leader who can find time for football diplomacy but cannot find five minutes to address why girls are burning alive in their school dormitories.
Sixteen girls. Dead. And the president is on TV talking about which football team he supports.
This is what happens when you have nothing to say. When there's no answer for the dead, you talk about something else. You make it about you. You make it about football.
How is this helping Kenya? It's not. Everyone can see it.

@_novala_@cbs_ke Some time back, someone greeted in me town, thatโs how I lost my phone/money too.Once the effects of the medicine had worn off hapo Kenya cinema, I felt like a cold shiver nikarudi normal. My friend also @afya center someone tapped her from behind, thatโs how she lost everything
@AokoOtieno_ A man who was capable of shooting DJ evolve as we watched, shouldnโt even be given a political sit. But Kenyans love being ruled by goons then come complain later
@FamilyBankKenya Tell us why your Utawala branch only has one counter working. So we have to sit and wait for each customer to be served for over ten minutes!!!!!! Waste of time completely!!! Can you get serious we donโt have all day to sit here
@KenyaPower_Care Mko na audacity sana nyinyi. Na hizo power black outs kila siku mko na nguvu ya kututumia message za customer service week??? What are you celebrating? What mission possible yet mnatuchomea electronics, people with business that depend on electricity are barely making ends meet
@KenyaPower_Care Your outrageous power blackouts are intentional, because thatโs how youโre deducting tokens from people without their knowledge. Mnazima stima na Bado mnatuibia. Very incompetent and corrupt company
@KenyaPower_Care We donโt care but what I need a response to is, tumezoea, tell me how we didnโt have lights from yesterday until today evening and my units have gone down from 17 to 11 units when we had a whole night and whole day power blackout!!! What kind of games are you people playing
