The unfortunate events in @Senate_KE are a very dangerous early warning signal of the open role of security forces in determining the political and public affairs trajectory in #Kenya.
The threats and intimidation to @Senate_KE due to revenue sharing basis has a serious chilling effect. It is a direct assault on the Constitution and democracy. It signals dangerous days ahead for every Kenyan.
This has nothing to do with security laws. It is a calculated disingenuous gradual process of militarization of the Kenya state and politics. It is a mirror and smoke a smarter way to consolidating an authoritarian rule.
The end result is creating an effective competitive-authoritarian state through 2022 election. It started with Uhuru Kenyatta taking advantage of #Covid19KE pandemic to create a strong Administrative-Security State.
Advise from a Medical Doctor to all men for 2022... Thread:
A medical doctor decided to send some words of advice to gentlemen via WhatsApp. The advice is simple and straightforward. Feel free to share with every man out there.
1. You cannot settle all financial expenses in one day. Those who did are stressfully sick and some are buried already.
2. Please create time to rest, it is not a sin to sit down , put up your legs on the table and pick popcorn whilst reading a book or just relaxing
3. Please sleep if need be that headache will go. Those who refuse to take vacation, or leave, or time out or rest time, their families are missing them because they have gone untimely to their maker.
As you get older, you begin to zero down on your options. There’s a certain pruning that begins to happen. You begin entering an energy-saving mode.
You begin to ignore some things. You become particular about the battles you pick. You will be in the middle of an argument and deep down you wonder; “why do I care?”
You stop persisting on things. That time you no longer have. You no longer have the energy to convince people otherwise. If you're driving, you drive at optimum speed, let others pass.
In the last one year there have been so many fundraisers, most for medical bills and funerals. Very few for ruracio & weddings.
I am in 7 groups last one month alone. Family, close friends, colleagues.
Commodity prices and taxation are through the roof. Cost of transportation, rent, education are unmanageable. Bills are now crazy after the excise duty increase.
Incomes have stagnated or disappeared across the board through all this. I've had people ask me for 1K, 2K, 10K... people who would never have before. Lakini hata mimi sina. Hakuna pesa!

About our colleague Njonjo Mue...
I have watched the sermon that he delivered to the congregation at Karura Church in 2019 and I am having second thoughts.
Watch and listen...
We should go beyond seeing his nakedness in the now-viral video but try to decipher the message that he was trying to send across.
Njonjo is saying that mental illness is a serious, growing and neglected social, medical and psychiatric problem that afflicts almost 1/4 of our population who suffer from either bipolar, manic depression, schizophrenia or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder...
A young man called Dennis Murigi (born 1998) rents a single room somewhere in Nairobi Eastlands. Months later he vacates the room and goes back to his parents' home. He leaves the key with a friend.
The friend steals a T-shirts printing machines and a lap top somewhere in Gikomba and hides them in the room without the knowledge of Dennis.
@NPSOfficial_KE trace the items in the room. Dennis is arrested. Meanwhile the real thief escapes.
Dennis is locked up at Shauri Moyo Police Station. That was Friday last week. He spends weekend and yesterday in custody.
