Invasion of Kenyatta's Northlands, by Kikuyus (majority from Kiambu), should ring a warning bell, a time bomb. It's POLITICAL & ILLEGAL. But underlying this CRIMINAL act is a deep community grievance. I once read Mau Mau's Mzee Gítú Kahengeri notes on Northlands transaction.
Holoi poloi, proletariat, peasants in Kiambu, indeed most Kikuyus, community, have no sympathies on Kenyattas on the Land Question. Resentment is deepest in Ichaweri. Unfortunately, Uhuru never used his presidency to mend. Evicting urban poor Ruai, Kariobangi, aggravated it.
We successfully lobbied President Kibaki on Nyeri squatter problem. It was partly solved, with tacit compassionate help of First Lady Lucy. Unfortunately, as in Mau Mau settlement, it's public dormain over 50% of Solio ranch was grabbed by greedy elites and politically connected.
Yesterday during #Maandamano, I went live on Tik Tok for the first time.
In 30 minutes, I gained 8,000 new followers.
To put this in perspective, I gained less than 500 followers on Instagram the whole of 2022.

I have been trying to "hack" the General Z audiences. My age mates (you 🤣) on Twitter and FB already know me. Well, I got the answer when I decided, "Today, I will share my serious content on my dull, dormant Tik Tok page first." The response was dramatic
Thousands watched every snippet I sent. And when I went live, everything exploded.
