.@MutemiWaKiama's arrest has taught me not to look at just the tribe of presidential appointments, but at the relatives. Each top government appointment is related to a colonial chief. It's no longer just tribe. It's family.

We have now graduated to the rigid class system of UK.

If defense and foreign CS Omamo is an in-law, it's not enough to look at the tribe any more. These homeguard chiefs were in all ethnic groups. It's about class first. Then tribe next.

Kumirans were the first group of fools. They were dumped for a guy they were taught to hate.

Now the education reforms have sealed this deal. And Kenyan parents won't understand until their kids are in form 6. And then they will be trying to remember -what was that activist saying in 2018?

It will be so sad.

So with all these new nominations, we should be asking: which chief was the person born to, married to, grand-child to or cousin to? I mean, if even the Attorney General is the president's cousin, we cant put anything past GoK.

And then check the schools. If they attended local schools, they were in either private, former European (Kenya High, Limuru Girls, Loreto, Nairobi School Leanna) or in elite schools like Alliances. Check if they did their first degree in Kenya.

That will explain why they are shouting about TVET in our local universities. They know that their children won't attend them. And it's not just about education. A #KOT member told me that they don't want to risk their kids meeting and making a baby with a raia at a local uni.

Some years ago, a friend told me that they hired a faculty based not on the degrees (which all candidates had), but on the A level grade. I was like "but that's unfair. How do you judge someone by their teenage years?"

That's how social class works.

You won't be told about certificates any more. Now it's "experience," but no one will tell you that the top experience goes to the people whose fathers know the right people.

So as Mutemi was saying...youre sweating at school and it means zero. Others are beyond zero.

Social class is about what this motivational speakers and career experts train you to do. Can you hold your tea cup with a saucer? Do you know that at a hotel, you hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right? If you fumble or get excited, pole. You don't qualify.

What do you do when you see a celeb? Do you get excited or keep calm and mention a relative of theirs that you know?

And class snobs smell these things like dogs. You cant fake it. You have to be born into it.

Na nyinyi mnasema TVET itawasaidia. Yaani!

The only thing that can help you out of this is political consciousness. If you went to school like a zombie and believed everything you were told, now it's time to cleanse yourself. Get on #PoliticalEducationKE. Because consciousness is not a "solution." It's a perspective.

Consciousness is like spotting a pickpocket. Once he senses you've seen him, he looks for a clueless passenger. The pickpocket relies on your lack of awareness, more than on his skill.

The same with aristocrats. They get away with stealing from us due to our lack of awareness.

So don't listen to solutionists or bots saying that it's time to stop tweeting and do something. Knowing is doing something. It's harder (not impossible) for aristocrats to steal from us when we can see their distractions and lies from a mile away. #PoliticalEducationKE
