We need to take data sovereignty seriously in this country. The amount of leaked national data out there is just staggering!

What I admire about Maraga’s campaign is its authenticity. No handouts, no empty promises, no theatrics, just real engagement with the mwananchi. He goes straight to the people, listens and pledges to uphold the Constitution to the letter. Unlike many who seek attention with sunroof speeches and empty rhetoric, he focuses on substance and integrity.

Damn, she’s incredibly strong for someone who witnessed her husband being shot by Samia’s foot soldiers. Dear East Africans, we must unite and reclaim our independence from the neocolonialists. IT'S NOT YET UHURU.
I hope y'all are seeing the difference. I hope you see how consistent real work looks like without the need to shout and throw money from a sunroof

Shugli inataka mbogi. Public Participation Bill, 2025
Public participation is the heart of our Constitution... THE PEOPLE SHALL! But time and again, laws passed by Parliament fail this test. With the Public Participation Bill now before us, what would make the process real and not just a box-ticking ritual? Maoni fupi fupi...

The Police and Intelligence services in Kenya were granted access to the Safaricom network and established a 'Law enforcement liaison office' at HQ. Here, they extract and share subscriber details and call data and use it without mandated court orders.

Madam President @SuluhuSamia this will not end well.There is still time to do things differently.
Tanzania has charged a 26-year-old self-made business lady with Treason for taking part in Tik TikTok challenge. She is among over 200 young Tanzanians now facing treason charges.

REF: PROTEST AGAINST THE DIRECTIVE TO REOPEN LUMBERING ACTIVITIES IN THE MAU FOREST COMPLEX. East Africa Climate Change Network P.O.Box 8668-00200 Nairobi,City Square Eastafricaclimate@gmail.com 11th November 2025. His Excellency Dr. William Samoei Ruto, CGH. President of the Republic of Kenya Harambee House. Nairobi, Kenya REF: PROTEST AGAINST THE DIRECTIVE TO REOPEN LUMBERING ACTIVITIES IN THE MAU FOREST COMPLEX. Your Excellency, We write to register our strong protest and grave concern following your recent directive dated 27th October 2025 authorizing the reopening of lumbering activities within the Mau Forest Complex. This directive poses an imminent threat to one of the most critical water towers and ecological lifelines in the East and Central African region such uncalled for political directives coming in the eve of Conference of Parties happening in Belem Brazil. The Mau Forest Complex, extending from Kenya in Rift Valley through Nakuru County and forming part of the greater transboundary forest system stretching towards the Congo Basin, serves as the headwater for numerous rivers that feed into Lake Victoria and eventually the River Nile. The ecological integrity of this forest system is therefore not merely a national concern but a regional and continental matter with direct implications for millions of people across several African nations. Your directive comes at a time when African states are engaging in constructive discussions towards the abrogation and reformation of the colonial-era 1929 River Nile Treaty Agreement, which unjustly restricted equitable utilization of the Nile waters by upstream nations. It is therefore paradoxical and regrettable that Kenya custodian of one of the Nile’s vital catchment areas would simultaneously sanction activities that threaten to degrade this watershed. We urge Your Excellency to immediately rescind this directive and instead reinforce conservation efforts in the Mau ecosystem. Sustainable livelihoods and economic development, which can be achieved through, forest restoration, ecotourism, and community-based conservation models rather than renewed deforestation. We reiterate that Kenya Government is a signatory to 17 Sustainable Development Goals/Paris Agreement, thus your directive is in contradiction and violation of International Laws and treaties that Kenya has consented and anccented to. Failure to reverse this decision will compel us, in concert with regional and international environmental partners, to seek legal redress through the appropriate international forums, including the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights and the United Nations Environmental Assembly, to safeguard this critical ecosystem for present and future generations. Your Excellency, leadership is best measured not by expedient decisions, but by the courage to safeguard the future of our planet. We therefore appeal to your conscience and duty to the Kenyan people and the wider African community to reconsider and revoke this environmentally destructive directive. Respectfully, Kamotho Githinji. Executive Director East Africa Climate Change Network.
Update: Not onions
Uprooted a tree and found onions in my yard
I watched Citizen Tv news tonight and the heartbreaking stories of Kenyans ill treated by our neighbors Uganda and Tanzanian govts is anger inducing. If we had a proper country here, serious action would have been taken, but instead our MPs are encouraging them to torture Kenyans

"Authoritarianism doesn't appear overnight. It's the slow and steady breakdown of institutions, disrespect for human rights and the rule of law..." I see a clear connection between this and Kenya’s current political direction. Kenya’s president is following a similar trajectory.
Tanzania: We didn't get here overnight I wrote the article in the link below six years ago. It was under a different government, but on the same trajectory. Authoritarianism doesn't appear overnight. It's the slow and steady breakdown of institutions, disrespect for human rights and the rule of law and it's happening in several parts of Africa as Gen Z is rising and will no longer tolerate repression and the lack of opportunities. Every country in Africa needs to watchful of this trend and learn the lessons before it results in death and destruction. Saving Wakanda from Creeping Dictatorship share.google/3BOImQXLimBbByM…

The High Court said that the State did not have them. Such judges who kowtow to the executive need to be fired. Justice should never be out of reach for anyone
In this video, Dictator Museveni confirms that our Kenyan brothers Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo were abducted and kept under incommunicado detention for 39 days for their association with us. He claims that they underwent all the torture and suffering because they're 'experts in riots'. SHAME UPON YOU. If they committed any offence, why were they not produced before court and formally charged? Incidentally, these brothers confirmed that they were being detained with so many Ugandans and people from other countries. Could those include our supporters who have been missing for 5 or 6 years now? We have a duty to fight and defeat this criminality. Thankfully, these confessions by Museveni will always be on record and they will come in handy when the time comes to account for the crimes committed against the people of Uganda. #FreeUgandaNow
