8,300 Kenyans own the same amount of wealth as the rest of us.

Let that sink in.

And these wealthy get tax exemptions, still our taxes, take loans for Kenyans to pay and then steal those too as we pay back the loans.

Let that sink in.

And then using the money they steal from us, they buy and compromise the media and the church, they conduct election campaigns, they pay foreigners to brainwash and polarize with lies, and then they get themselves "elected."

And the game of 8,300 vs 49,991,700 starts again.

So the one thing the 8,300 won't let us talk about is wealth. They fill the public space with noise. Kieleweke, tangatanga, Embrace, referendum, Competency-based curriculum, huduma namba, corruption court cases with no convictions...

Anything so we dont talk about the 0.1%.

The 0.1%, and the press and the church in the pocket of the 0.1%, mute the campaigns for economic justice: #thebigwhitelie, #deCOALonize, #SwitchoffKPLC, #unemploymentdisasterKE, #resisthudumanamba
So we know more about BBI and referendum nanzenz more than we know about these.

That is the context of #competencybasedcurriculum #cbcconference2019. The education system has been traumatized, and so teachers (the largest unionized workforce) and parents are preoccupied with protecting kids from being harmed for life by the system. Classic #shockdoctrine

The children of Kenya have been sacrificed so that the 0.1% can continue distracting us from the fact that

8,300 KENYANS OWN AS MUCH AS 49,9 MILLION KENYANS.
