Good afternoon class!
Here is a thread of a post I did on October 12 2017
The colonialists always appointed Africans with flawed character to positions that had influence.

People who had skeletons in the closet or people ready to betray their communities and could even kill their own mothers. Chiefs, DOs, Legislative Council members, presidents and PMs who took over at "independence".

In Uthamakistan we call these people "Ngaati (home guards) or "kamatimu ("they or spears" colonial police)". In the rest of Kenya they're known as collaborators or sellouts.

These Unprecedented Times Call for Business Unusual!
These are unprecedented times. Never in our recent history, have we not had an opposition party or group to check the excesses of the Executive. @KLM_VUMA

Even during the dark days of the single-party rule of the Moi dictatorship, voices of dissent still existed, despite the constant danger of imprisonment, torture and assassination.

This is the spirit that led us to fight to end the single-party rule. It is the spirit that led us to fight for constitutional reforms and the spirit that guided our fight for electoral justice in 2007, 2013 and 2017 at huge costs.

This is a very good point. The people whining about Kenyan education not being like in Scandanavia are the same ones spilling vitriol about women.
Well guess who are driving the education conversation in Kenya? Women. You don't listen, then you accept a racist, patriarchal CBC.

Women in Kenya are fighting for environment, health, education, energy justice, against extra-judicial killings, constitutionalism. We're not asking for a woman to go to State House to get a handshake gender deal and a secret report for a referendum. We are saying #TekelezaKATIBA
I'm not saying that men are not also fighting for these things but that the people opposing the implementation of the constitution are fighting for not just inequality, but also for Kenyan politics to remain immature obsession with personality rather than issues.
Let's get this about devolution:
Devolution is not the national government giving counties money. It is the constitution dividing money between both levels of government.

Thread
10 years on, both county and national levels of government fail to come to terms with Article 6 (2) of the Constitution which provides that the governments at county and national levels are DISTINCT and Interdependent. Both levels of government are creatures of the Constitution.
Neither level created the other. There is no power hierarchy but levels. It is the failure to appreciate this fact that makes county governments look up to national government as the big mama, the national government in turn looks down at county governments as it's children.
What is key to Tekayo's wealth? Free disclipned labor: KDF, NYS and now he wants prisons for the poor to use their labor.
Kenyans, this is why I have #maishakazini channel on YouTube. Because the key to these cannibals' wealth is more our labor than our cash.

By free, I mean that the labor that produces Tekayo's wealth is labor Tekayo doesn't pay for. He doesn't pay salaries of KDF, NYS, police and prisons. It's the taxes that come from our work that pay the salaries. Prisoners are paid only 20 cents a day.

The other arm of free workers comes from the county administrators (former provincial administration, former colonial home guards and paramount chiefs). These are the spies and propagandists who keep the people from revolting against the Massah of the Kenya plantation.
The Civil Service is the impediment to the constitution. They are the former colonial administration and are used by successive presidents to act outside the constitution. The mentality of the Civil Service is colonial. NASA was supposed to have retrained it. #tekelezakatiba 
"The colonial legacy lives on in the traditions of the great safari, and the pursuit of adventure and freedom."
If civil servants could write this in 2012, do you really expect them to respect a Constitution fought for by mere Africans? web.archive.org/web/2012050306…

The same civil servants made this ad and put it up at JKIA 2 years ago. When called, they said they hadn't seen a problem.
How do you expect them to respect a constitution fought for by mere Africans.? #tekelezakatiba

We are not saying that we intend to vote "no" IN a referendum. We are saying "no" TO a referendum in the first place.
The proposed referendum is
1. selfish and designed to protect the family power and business interests of politicians
2. divisive and polarising and will prepare Kenya for war
3. a dishonest mini-election

The proposed referendum is
4. a waste of taxpayers money. Healthcare has no money. Even if schools were opened, many children still don't have schools. Many Kenyans dont have steady income. The proposed referendum is an "eff you" to Kenyans

The Constitution of Kenya, a decade old, is the result of decades of struggle by ordinary Kenyans to assert the right to control their destiny and to wrest control from politicians and political dynasties.

"On the 10th anniversary of the [Kenya] Constitution, we must banish any attempt at whittling down provisions that protect the lives & health of women & girls." - Center Sr Regional Director @Evelyne_Opondo on the implementation of abortion care in Kenya. (via @Nation_Politics)
"The suggestions by anti-rights forces to revisit constitutional provisions on reproductive healthcare and abortion must be rejected." #KatibaforSRHR #KatibaAt10 #TekelezaKATIBA
Sometimes in 1990, two political ‘dissidents’ went to Cargen House in Nairobi’s Moi Avenue.

But Anyona and Kathangu, who had both tasted the wrath of the system by being jailed and detained for contradicting the Kanu regime, warned their host that the government had demonstrated willingness to ruthlessly deal with dissidents.

The mission was to rein in a man disgraced by the ruling party Kanu and thrown into the political cold. Their meeting with Kenneth Matiba had been brokered by former powerful Cabinet Minister Simeon Nyachae, who was now being treated as a Kanu pariah.
