I wondered what that performance of the president last night was about.

It was to control the narrative. He went, played the noble victim on TV, next morning, Kenya media is a symphony reducing #BBIRuling to a contest of the two main ICC suspects.

#GitheriMedia, we see you
And they have help from the Americans who, you remember, sponsored the BBI project with dollars from suffering American taxpayers.

This is @Reuters
The UK government is more suave than to interfere openly (after all, they've nailed down Kenyan kids with CBC).

But Prof Nic Cheeseman didn't miss the party. He apparently also thinks we Kenyans need alliances more than the constitution followed.

#Hustlernation is built on trauma which Kenyans don't want to deal with.
And it's really interesting that when Kenyans talk about the hustle, they equate it not to the work they do, but to a rich man.

The kind of trauma that makes you suppress your own story and focus on someone else's is the stuff of fiction. #hustlernation
Kenyans are so exploited. And every time we try to talk about it, we're told the problem is "policy," or that we're not following the rules.

The people who should be helping us are unions. But what is @AtwoliDza doing? Promoting the agenda of exploiters. #hustlernation

In 2017 even Kenyan journalists refused to see the connection between inequality, anti-Tekayo-ism, elections results and violence. Only @jacobinmag, an American newspaper, made that direct connection. jacobinmag.com/2017/12/kenya-…
The tribalism story, or what God-ec called "age old" animosities, appeal to a racist narrative that Kenya's problem is that us the people
We haven't completely mastered democracy, tho we're ahead of other African countries. Our problems have no historical or social structures.
