Soon after independence, Kenya’s political elites embraced an Extractive System of government in which a small cabal use their positions to loot public resources at the expense of the ordinary citizen.   Today, under William Ruto, that extractive system has become a full-blown criminal enterprise. Across virtually every public sector, the President, his cabinet, top officials in government, and corrupt businessmen have turned government into their own business. #ukombozi

Human virtue and nobility lean towards communion. Naturally, an individual is incapable of containing love in its entirety. True love is only attained by communities. And you can see how powers that be have advanced individualism. Its not a coincidence!
“It’s strange how the idea of heaven is a completely untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a utopia of peace, unity and happiness.. But here on Earth it’s considered a crazy Communist ideology.”

Healthy communities fill the gaps created by our flaws, thus dissolving their potency through virtue. If a loyal person meets a discerning one, both of them enrich their experience of love. The loyal person will be more discerning and the other braver.

No wonder they took him out early.
2pac was right when he said: “Doctors are drug dealers” “Teachers are brainwashers” “Policemen are gangsters”

BATUK: BRITAIN'S COLONIAL GRIP IN KENYA BATUK: The White Man’s Burden in Kenya is not just a documentary about a British military base where soldiers roll around in the dirt for six months before returning home to the UK. It is a documentary about abuse of power, occupation of indigenous land and the unfinished business of colonialism. For decades, ordinary Kenyans living around BATUK have raised allegations of abuse, sexual violence, ecological destruction and impunity, while one of the world’s most powerful former colonial powers continues to operate freely on Kenyan soil, handing out small amounts of compensation whenever evidence of alleged crimes reaches the media. At the centre of the documentary is the story of Agnes Wanjiru, a 21-year-old Kenyan woman who was tortured, killed and dumped in a septic tank, while British soldiers mocked and ridiculed her death on social media. One soldier posed in front of the septic tank and posted, “If you know, you know.” Others joked about the five-month-old daughter she left behind, posting imagery of a baby beside a gravesite. But the story goes beyond Agnes and her tragic killing and the shocking behaviour of British troops thereafter. The documentary asks deeper questions: How did Britain maintain a military presence in Kenya, the very same year the country supposedly gained independence? Why are foreign troops still training on stolen land while local communities continue to suffer? And above all, why does the Kenyan government allow all of this? Laikipia County, currently in the spotlight because of plans for an Ebola quarantine facility for US citizens, is the very same county where the BATUK military base is headquartered. This documentary helps connect the dots about why Kenya’s political elite remain so willing to cede sovereignty to foreign powers like Britain, and why they may be willing to do the same again with the United States. This is Sovereign Media’s first-ever documentary. We are a small, independent team with a brand-new YouTube channel and no corporate backing. We need your support now more than ever. Watch. Share.

In Kenya, classes need to work side by side after a thorough acquisition of knowledge. Marriage between revolution and justice has to be precided over by knowledge. Human virtues and nobility of the soul are expensive commodities.
@DavidHundeyin is so fvcking right. Japa is a means used to dismantle the Potentials of a Nigerian Revolution because it provides a de-pressurization valve for the Educated, Competent and Ambitious to constantly leave instead of fermenting trouble

African governance problems are mostly from history, not culture. Colonial rule built systems for taking resources, not development, after independence, some leaders kept and worsened those systems instead of fixing them.

A person can criticize corrupt politicians &still avoid accountability in their own personal relationships,talk about justice &protect their friends when those friends commit injustice.people are much better at recognizing wrongdoing at a distance than when it implicates them.

I suspect he's negotiated a free ticket to a second term. As we all know, the US decides who Kenya's president will be. Kenyans vote to confirm it. The new US ambassador is here to oversee the process.
We cannot have an imperial presidency where someone makes paternalistic or autocratic decisions of this nature in the name of "I gave friends permission". Come on please. Even your serious medical experts are saying this is wrong.

Kenyan ideology is very individualist. We don't know how to think socially. Worse, we're punished for doing it. During the gaslighting years of the Muigai regime, we used to be hounded by Kenyans and bots if we said something like "we Kenyans do abcd." You'd get replies saying "we who?" or "you and who?" or "talk for yourself." Even the "not all" is in the same Whatsapp group. It was so bad that mpaka students used to use it at Masters and PhD level. I had to talk about it in my class. Yet "we" is a rhetorical way of inviting collective reflection and conversation. It's not a literal designation of 58 million Kenyans, each in their individual capacity. That's the other thing. We Kenyans (yes) are very literal. We don't allow each other to be metaphoric. And now literature has become a pathway subject. It's a war on politics. Kenya is very anti-political.
One of the most illuminating things I've observed in the last week is the deep unwillingness by Kenyan adults to take collective responsibility for the deaths of the 16 girls at Utumishi. The girls committed arson. They will be dealt with. That is NOT IN DISPUTE. AT ALL.

President Ruto: I allowed the US to set up the Ebola quarantine centre in Nanyuki; we have 23 other facilities across Kenya.

Register as a voter, inform yourself as a citizen, interrogate candidates, make an informed opinion of them, get ready to vote in 2027! Hii ingine ni populist noise that will amount to nothing.

That video was released to trigger specific mass reaction. Eruditians are trying to bring order to chaos with intelligent analysis but dichotomy of debate was the objective all along. History of the environment nurturing student villains should be sought and understood.

You can tell Chelsea have an inferiority complex when it comes to Arsenal. For all those trophies, they still don’t have the biggest fanbase in London, their fans have zero emotional connection to the club and they had barely any history pre-2005 or cultural impact
