I want to remind you of a few things; there are no Gen Z issues! These are Kenyan issues affecting every Kenyan. Framing it as Gen Z grievances is false and misleading. It’s downplays the current economic turmoil that every Kenyan is trying to survive
To every single Kenyan who protested today please, dont despair. This is a marathon not a sprint dont feel discouraged.
You made historical noise that cannot be silenced, ingnored or erased. Your voices are indelible. Your presence is revolutionary. Your existence is power ✊🏾
I really wonder why in 2022 Citizen TV still grants women like Bi Msafwari audience when so much thankless work goes into shifting the narrative of harmful gender stereotypes? It's such a rubbish show with rubbish takes with rubbish discourse.
Kenya is tiring:
Selling milk to neighbors illegal ⚠️
Using manure to farm illegal ⚠️
Harvesting rain water in cities illegal ⚠️
Asking or naming the cartel illegal ⚠️
Marijuana illegal ⚠️
But stealing 💃🏾🎊🤸🏾♀🎉🕺🏾🎯
First of all, people need to know, when Kenyans use the word "imagine" they don't mean visualise or envisage then continue talking about xx...We mean end of story. Full stop. Nothing more to add. Done and dusted. 🤣
Best response to imagine are heh! Wah! Wallahi! Haki! Wueh!🤣
When you next pick up your voters card, I hope you remember this moment when you were completely alone figuring systemic gaps that exposed you to a virus, possible hunger, anxiety, job loss, endless stress and shameless dissapaerance of leaders when you needed them. I hope!
Please stop calling women in political leadership "mum" and be able to engage them without feeling the need to create a filially acceptable title like-mother. They're not your mother, they are leaders.
Adjust this patriarchal lens accordingly.
Also Kenyan politicians trying to center themselves in Eluid KingChoge's glory are all the TRASH when Kenyan sports is horribly mismanaged, plundered and disregarded. NONE OF YOU DO ANYTHING FOR SPORTS so please stay out of the King's light with your darkness. Stay out!!!

aren't Gen Z issues my goodness! These are Kenyan issues affecting every Kenyan. Framing it as if Gen Zs are the only ones aggrieved while the rest of the people are okay, is false and misleading. Stand guided and be serious.
Dear Young people,
Asking questions,speaking up and being blunt isn't bad manners. FEAR isn't RESPECT please unlearn. Living in apprehension isn't a way of life, it's benevolent violence.
Bless.

It's irredeemably embarrassing that in a country of excellent women making global moves, breaking real boundaries, shifting tangible realities and making change these are the women who get nominated!!! Wilfully ignorant folk with no sensible bearing ugh 🚮
Watching DJ evolve struggle to speak & not being able to voice his words or move his limps is maddening AF. Yet the MP who shot him is still free, hasn't lost his seat and continues to do random shit like occupy public space and is given audience is just 🤬.
Ppl pretend they don't understand why most first born daughter's don't want kids of their own yet, first borns have had kids since they were kids. Fisrtborns raised their siblings(kids) while raising themselves. Please give firstborns a break from parenting...please.

Take care country people.
In 2019 we moving towards
People who protect us
Brands who listen
Friends who choose us
Dreams that scare us
Employers who pay us
Leaders who earn us
Love that frees us
Works that matters
Words that liberate us
Because, life's too damn short for mediocre shenanigans! Cheers 🥂
Isn't it peak humour that the only people who are pro-them are actual hired goons? As in goons?? Imagine being a leader whose support can only be found in the existence of goons 🤣 who are you leading bruh?
I really need men to stop saying
"I fight/support women because I have a grandmother,mother, sister, aunties, daughters, nieces or wife"
Please STOP.
FIGHT FOR WOMEN BECAUSE THEY ARE PEOPLE, HUMAN BEINGS.
SEE WOMEN AS PEOPLE
TREAT WOMEN AS PEOPLE
BCZ THEY ARE!!!!!

Felix Orinda (DJ Evolve), who was shot by Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, is numb from his mid-torso down.
He is receiving treatment at home as he clutches onto hope that things will turn around and he'll return to the DJ decks.

Police killed a cobbler in Nandi county for not having a face mask!!! 💔 How is not having a face mask a death sentence Kenya??? How??? Arrgh...fucking police brutality and this country that hates poor people.
The revolution is
A young Ugandan black man
A fearless artist turned liberator
A liberated mind and conscious leader
A father who loves his family and fights for their future. Kenyans rise with Ugandans Aluta🇺🇬✊🏿

Why is everything always tied to a punishment of some sort in this joint?
It was
Get new passport or face xyz penalties
Get Huduma number or face xyz penalties
Pay NHIF or face xyz penalties
Get digital DL or face xyz penalties
Aiiii please, isn't there a better way to lead?

You can quote all scripture
You can speak all high morality
You can threaten all hell and high water but YOU CANNOT POLICE WOMEN'S BODIES nigga yo time is UP!!!
y'alls time been UP!!!
Repeating for those hard of hearing;
JUST BECAUSE A MOVEMENT IS LEADERLESS DOESN'T MEAN IT'S DISORGANISED
And stop trying to disparage the people's new way of reimagination just because the old way is all you know. While you sit in dismay, We the sovereign, are moving.
Now that your teens are home for the holidays, teach your boys about condoms, consent, and sexual health.
Teach them respect for girls
Teach them responsibility
Teach them accountability
Teach them empathy
Normalise good behaviour and please don't let "boys be boys"
🙏🏿
4000 girls have dropped out of school in Meru county since Jan 2024 because of teen pregnancy!!! 🚨 Under pinning this is layered issues of poverty, lack of sanitary pads, social norms and generalised economic difficulties but somehow the govt wants to tax pads!?!? Is it crack?
Fuel prices are high
Food prices are high
Salaries of elected leaders are high
Chances of people losing jobs are high
Mismanagement of public funds and institutions are high
But still, the FEAR of saying enough is enough to rubbish tribal leadership is HIGHER!!! 😬😑💀

The sad and traggic saga of Bobbi Wine could never happen in today's Kenya. It would only have occurred between 1963 to 1992. We have moved

Repeating this,
Suffering is not courage
Suffering is not strength
Suffering is not glorious
Suffering is not inspiring
Suffering is not admirable
Suffering is not virtuous
Stop measuring people's worth with how much suffering they're forced to endure.
SUFFERING IS SUFFERING
The higher calling is leadership and everything is aligning towards it. Tremendous honor to be among the first

Every time someone randomly starts talking to me in French after learning that I'm Kenyan in these Geneva streets, in my head I'm just like *this is all Larry Madowo's fault 😬* he's been out here bonjuorING and making people assume all Kenyans speak French 😣🤦🏾♀LOL
I'm curious to know what the plan was when 5K people were being evicted in Kariobangi with no where to go curfews et all...a virus in the air...people not having jobs...with heavy rains...what was the plan because this reeks of HATE for poor people.

"When children can name their bodies, name the actions the body is capable of, and are taught that these actions should only happen at THEIR OWN behest they learn how to identify and report abuse" 🔥
This! you can't protect children from sexual abuse with silence or lack of info
Receiving sex ed at the age of 10 was traumatising but not because it was horrifying to learn that my vagina is called a vagina, what its function is, and that no-one should be touching it without my consent. It was horrifying because I saw two classmates realise that they were
Nairobi Passport application process begins at dawn 🤨 a night runners marathon
Collection process another marathon 😥 surely, is there anything humane about this process? Why is this a survivor episode WHY?Are ppl too many, are workers few, are computers slow what is it??😩😵😬
A couple of things to note while engaging in the current doctors strike.
1. You can't gaslight doctors with questions such as "you took an oath" An oath is a non-issue in a country where theft is always winning. Understand that...
An old man from Gichuki village in Embu East sub county who was arrested for having Cannabis in his farm says he has been using it as vegetables since 1972.
Choose the Jesus who;
Turned tables
Fought for women
Turned water into wine
Didn't throw the first stone
Washed the feet of prostitutes
Asked his father difficult questions...religion is an active practice of unlearning and compassion not punishment for those you dont like.
Kenyan sugar has mercury
Kenyan govt full of thieves
Kenyan schools have rapist
Kenya power without power
Kenyan roads are seasonal rivers
Kenyan economy belongs to debtors
Kenyan condoms, cigarettes, liquor I dunno P2 are fake... Lawd!!!
One day I will do a full disclosure of how in the midst of my journey as a woman navigating leadership and creating space for more women, older women who felt threatened by my existence to do leadership differently have been striving to shut me down.
"The Ministry of Health has given a breakdown of how it spent Sh1 billion received from the World Bank in the fight against Covid-19. Sh4 million was used to buy tea and snacks"
*As in one, two, three, four million for tea and snacks! Yani chai & things for 4milli...WOW 🤯* OK

There's nothing to lose but the future.

"Parents of students who leave school with fee arrears should be listed with the Credit Reference Bureau, Education CS George Magoha has proposed"
Honestly Kenya!!! What hatred is this towards poor parents? Plus isn't this the regime that was to make education I dunno free🤨😏🤔
I strongly feel the person who sits at the matatu door should be briefed like those who sit at exit doors of planes. They should be briefed on their role as assistant conductor, how to ask ppl seated infront for money no poking, pinching or strange shoulder touching because 🤦🏾♀
Reporter: what do you feel about Eluid's win.
Kenyan: We feel inspired as youth lakini serikali iwalipe wanaspoti si kupeperusha tu bendera
Me: 🔥 🙌🏾 Lissen!
This debate should've had all candidates on one stage. The existing segregation soils already expanding democratic engagement space and overtly creates unnecessary heirachies.
Religion is not merely about praying and fasting, it's mainly about behaviour.
So nomatter how much you adorn regilious aesthetics, language and scriptures, if your behaviour is violent, unjust, subgugative, discriminative or biased...it's all a ruse.
I should write about Okoth Kenneth I really should because my characters arent enough. I should write about his endless quest for good leadership, his push for me to never be silent, his laughter every time I told him I hate Kenya and he would say "Teach them love bcz you can"💔
It's that day when my mum reminds me without her I wouldn't have a birthday 🤣🤣🤣 in a long message that ends in,
"To the one I named so intently with a name that adjusts your tongue. She who came to liberate us" 🔥
It's been a great year🥂🖤
First passport queues started at 5am then 4am now 3am! still Kenyans don't see link btwn endorsing rubbish leadership with structural failure ok. Waking up early for a system that has already failed is not and cannot be a solution but haay this is yuwa Kenya queues be the MO 😎
4 thousand girls in Machakos county have been RAPED and ended up pregnant in the past 4months, meaning one thousand girls were RAPED in a span of 30 days but somehow in this tragedy parents are being blamed instead of the actual RAPISTS!
Do leaders understand rape culture?
Listen bad governance is BAD GOVERNANCE!
You can't pray your way out of it.
You can't invest your way out of it.
You can't resilience yourself out of it.
You can't join it to fix it from the inside.
You can't outsource your own labour in being part of the solution
Take a stand!
Met some lovely Chinese peeps at a waffle place they could tell I'm from Kenya cz of my tshirt which excited them then one said *Yaay Kenya good pipo hard workers lots of money* I can't help but wonder if they was subliminally talkin bout the money we owe them 🤔😥aki Ouru!!!
KEMSA is yet to supply drugs worth Kshs1.2 Billion for HIV/AIDS to NASCOP. which now forces those who depend on these meds to either buy from private hospitals or go without!!!
Honestly WTF??? While leaders are busy politics and referendumING
Please can y'all stop with this magical Kenya bullshit!!! Our people have died yet some of you are concerned about how we look to the world TF!!
Let them see us in pain.
Let them see us broken.
Let them see us hurting.
We are human beings and we our pain MATTERS. Please.
Wait...the president has cancelled his attendance of the devolution conference in Kakamega due to bad weather wow! The audacity of privilege!! Imagine all the things Kenyans go through because of bad weather yet they still show up just wow...anyway carry on.
Country people, it's a good week to remind y'all of somethings;
1. Girls & Women are unsafe, being raped in homes & hospitals😡
2. Pushing for DJ Evolve's justice is ongoing✊🏾
3. COVID19 testing is not free 😱
4. Practise empathy and compassion🙏🏾
5. Don't compound any harm🧎🏾♀️
Nairobi Funeral Home (formerly City Mortuary) received a staggering 247 bodies in a month at the height of the youth anti-tax demonstrations, a report from the facility has revealed.
One day they will ask you what happened.
Tell them, "A woman with a difficult name, Head wraps and an insurmountable amount of freedom happened". *remember this* 🔥
You cannot beat people into submission
You cannot teargas people into acceptance
You cannot terrorize people into unity
If you have to do this already you've failed.

Thinking about the fact that the number of teen babies raped and impregnated especially by relatives in Kenya is higher than COVID -19 cases. ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️
Because rape is the pandemic we don't want to properly, adequately and progressively respond to.
From your thread you clearly know what's at stake, what to do about it and how.
Now, GO AHEAD AND DO IT.
I mean, you are the government in fact you're so government you got elected on the ruling party's ticket.
Get to work bruv, less talk more action.
IT’S JUST ABOUT TO GET REAL! (Thread)
We have 7,000 Kenyans in quarantine who arrived back between Wednesday and Sunday. In Dagoretti South Constituency we are hosting them at Lenana School and Kinyanjui Tech. How they got there and the chaos therein is a story for another day.
Anyway, on to a matter that requires African people intervention so...how long after you start slapping the TV remote do you accept to buy new batteries?
How in the hell have police officers arrested someone who recorded evidence of police officer's assaulting a civilian instead of arresting the cops who did the assaulting? What in the fuckening is this Kenya? Nkt
