Wacha nifungue roho yangu leo. Maandamano Delivers! In the early 90s, Moi’s despotic regime crushed our resistance with unprecedented brutal force- Ruto ni mwanafunzi haswa! Frustrated and utterly hopeless, I left Kenya at the age of 20 to chase the dreams my country had failed to deliver—I hear you, Gen Zs. I traveled to South Africa on a one-way ticket, bright-eyed and bushy tailed, with nothing but 15K and my mother’s unwavering support. I hustled—kuosha vyombo, braiding hair, and trading curios—just to pay my way through my studies at the University of Cape Town. It was difficult living away from home with limited resources. So Ruto, stop this modern-day slave trade disguised as job creation for the youth. Our communities thrive better together, and there is plenty within our borders if you would just stop stealing the entire country. I have lived in South Africa for 30 years, witnessing this great nation rise to glory, only to later unravel into chaos. Yet, we still stand because the constitution reigns supreme and the rule of law remains the bedrock of our society. However, there is still much room for improvement. Getting back to my thought process... Under the leadership of Nelson Mandela and the formidable Thabo Mbeki, South Africa rose from the ashes of apartheid. The Black middle class flourished, long-neglected communities finally gained access to basic services, and justice became accessible. Social welfare reached the most vulnerable, affordable healthcare was within reach, and it felt like anything was possible. The constitution wasn’t just a suggestion—it was implemented, albeit imperfectly. Then, Stage Left, Zuma entered. Corruption, impunity, greed, and selfishness devoured everything South Africa had built. In collusion with his Indian cronies, the Guptas, Zuma dismantled the economy over his '9 wasted years.' Today, South Africa is trapped in dysfunction. Clean water and sanitation have become luxuries, electricity is expensive and rationed, and the Rand is in free fall. Youth unemployment is at a crisis point, xenophobia is tearing apart communities, and local industries have collapsed. It’s a long, sordid story, all rooted in the rot at the head—a moral decay that has permeated through every facet of our society. I now watch with horror as Kenya, my mother land, treads the same doomed path once again— as if we learned nothing from the mkoloni’s installation of Kenyatta I, and the subsequent Moi and Uhuruto regimes that Kenya’s electorate willingly endorsed. And now, we find ourselves with this cretin, Ruto, displaying the dangerous tendencies of notorious dictators like Idi Amin, Mobutu, and Bokassa. He is also following Zuma’s playbook, with his own Adani playing the role of the notorious Gupta Indian oligarchs. This is no ordinary corruption—this is state capture by kifua. It’s the systematic dismantling of Kenya’s future, and if we don’t act swiftly and decisively, we are barreling towards anarchy—if we are not there already. I am angry because I know Kenya’s potential, and it is slipping away under our watch. I am angry because I’ve seen this playbook before, and I know exactly how it ends. But more than anything, I am hopeful—because Kenya’s youth is woke, politically engaged, and fired up to reclaim the soul of our Nation- Ndugu Zetu, mumeamka. The South African youth uprising of June 1976 forever altered the course of this country’s liberation struggle. Their clarion call, Amandla! Awethu!—Power to the People!—resonates through history. And now, 48 years later, in June 2024, the Kenyan youth made their mark in our history books. You are exactly who you think you are: the leaders of Kenya’s 3rd liberation struggle. To the youth—I urge you to remember, we the older generation are not your enemy. We stand with you, ready to support this movement with our skills, resources, and experience. Battles are fought not only in the streets but in offices, courtrooms, oceans, and across the diaspora. #TaifaMpya ni yetu sote. To the older generation—we must resist the temptation of retreating into the "mwizi wangu" tribal cocoons that have long defined our politics. It’s time to wake up and focus on midwifing a #TaifaMpya that works for all 58 million shareholders. Competence, servant leadership, and respect for the rule of law must guide our choices for leaders in 2027.

Other countries have mafia. In Kenya the mafia have a country.

Protest is the language of the unheard. This is our action plan. Share widely. Our RAGE is still on. Let no one lie to you. #RutoMustGo #8/8/24

There is a certain truth that most Kenyans appear uncomfortable with. But we must face it. And this truth is that our country is so broken, that it may take a few generations to recover. This country is teetering on total collapse. This country, if we don’t fix it immediately, will be Haiti or Somalia, or worse. Our faith is the fundamental decency of humans has been tested to the limit. And our faith in public institutions is disappearing fast. Have you ever wondered how a country like Haiti became what is today? That a large population of the country would rather put their fate in the hands of gangbangers as opposed to government? This happens when the average citizen does not see any difference between a thug on the street and his government. And I believe we have never been closer to this situation than we are now. Before you say that am being dramatic, let me give you some context. I always like to use pictures because they do a good job of capturing attention. The first picture you see here is the Governor of Mandera county’s @MohamedAKhalif’s mansion. It apparently cost you and I KSH 285 million. Let that sink in. Look around it and take in the utter emptiness around it. Your political class does feel any shame when they look at this all day, in the midst of so poverty. The second picture is a primary school in Mandera. Stevie Wonder, the blind American artist, can see through the injustice and insanity on display in these two pictures. Our corrupt and greedy politicians are pillaging our country leaving it a carcass. And they have zero shame. I want all Kenyans to look at these pictures and ask themselves how we can allow this madness to happen, and for how much longer. Governor @HonAmasonKingi was in the news recently about his KSH 140 mansion in Kilifi, one of the poorest counties. The third picture is a primary school in Kilifi. Again, let that sink in. Unbelievable insanity and ignorance on display. That human beings can be so stupid and ignorant as to not be totally repulsed by this level of callousness is beyond me. The insanity you see here is happening all across our country. Our country’s overall government size is totally unsustainable and exists solely to maintain the lifestyles of the most corrupt among us. If you look at the last picture, it shows that a quick comparison of Kenya and Texas. With an economy that is 21 times SMALLER than Texas, our country has over 1800 legislators as opposed to Texas’ 181 legislators. Kenyan politicians are the second highest paid in the world (adjusted for size of the economy). Every one of these 1800 people get salaries many dozens higher the the average Kenyan’s per capita income. They get a housing allowance, drivers, vehicle allowance, mortgage, etc. We are bleeding our country to support the most corrupt among us. This madness must stop. We have no choice. And it won’t stop by asking the thieves to tone down their stealing. It will only happen by kicking them out of government resoundingly, and prosecuting those who have stolen from our children. We have no choice. @OkiyaOmtatah @EAukot @HonAmasonKingi @aliiroba @Mandera_cgvt @KilifiCountyGov @NationBreaking @citizentvkenya
