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

#KongamanoLaMageuzi #PoliticalEducationKE #FagiaWote
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.

#KongamanoLaMageuzi #PoliticalEducationKE #FagiaWote
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.

#KongamanoLaMageuzi #PoliticalEducationKE
But since the infamous “handshake” of March 2019, the opposition has been completely neutered. ODM gave Uhuru Kenyatta the legitimacy he craved following his illegitimate 2017 election.

#KongamanoLaMageuzi #PoliticalEducationKE #FagiaWote
In return for legitimizing Jubilee’s rule, ODM has been turned into the ruling party’s lapdog, barking more loudly in defence of the excesses of the regime, than ruling party operatives.

#KongamanoLaMageuzi #PoliticalEducationKE #FagiaWote
Even on issues at the core of ODM’s support base such as devolution, anti-corruption, gender equality and the protection of the environment, the party has swiftly turned against them.

#KongamanoLaMageuzi #PoliticalEducationKE #FagiaWote
It is in this political vacuum that the Executive has shown us the true colors and intentions of the Jubilee regime. Theft of public resources has scaled to unprecedented levels. Debt has skyrocketed.

#KongamanoLaMageuzi #PoliticalEducationKE #FagiaWote #TekelezaKATIBA
The Constitution has been trampled on with Court orders being ignored. The Judiciary has been decimated and “revisited”. Our freedom of association and speech is under assault, with mainstream media and bloggers bearing the brunt.

#KongamanoLaMageuzi #TekelezaKATIBA
The militarization of civilian institutions continues unabated. Our trees are being felled every day to build an expressway Kenyans don’t care about and don’t need.

#KongamanoLaMageuzi #PoliticalEducationKE #FagiaWote
And in the midst of all these failures is the #COVID19KE pandemic whose full economic impacts are yet to play out, including the impact of looting of funds allocated for its mitigation.

#KongamanoLaMageuzi #PoliticalEducationKE #FagiaWote
It is this context that has given birth to #KongamanoLaMageuzi (KLM): The realization that there is no credible opposition party to check the Executive, and that our appeals to the ruling elite to show leadership has failed.

#PoliticalEducationKE #FagiaWote #TekelezaKATIBA
The acceptance that as Kenyans, we are on our own. That if we do not organize ourselves to take back our country, the ruling elite will lead us to Armageddon.

#KongamanoLaMageuzi #PoliticalEducationKE #FagiaWote
This is the singular purpose for this broad initiative of Kenyans rallying together and organizing towards a transformative alternative political leadership and governance.

#KongamanoLaMageuzi #PoliticalEducationKE #FagiaWote
Kenyans are tired of being pigeon-holed in the binary politics of the barons of either being a “hustler” or a “dynasty”; a “kieleweke” or a “tanga tanga”.

#KongamanoLaMageuzi #PoliticalEducationKE #FagiaWote
We are better than that and are capable of organizing ourselves beyond these binary narratives. We have choices, we don’t have to be stuck to siding with the “lesser evil”. There is no lesser evil among the feuding or collaborating baronial networks.

#KongamanoLaMageuzi
KLM is an idea, a connector and catalyst for, and of progressive organizations, social movements, political parties, people’s formations, and individuals committed and loyal to the objective of removing from power the extractive ruling elite.

#KongamanoLaMageuzi #FagiaWote
Our goal is to form a pro-people Government of Kenya in 2022 or earlier.

#KongamanoLaMageuzi #PoliticalEducationKE #FagiaWote #TekelezaKATIBA
KLM is a multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-gendered, multi-regional, multi-religious, and multi-generational movement which aims to contest political power...

#KongamanoLaMageuzi #PoliticalEducationKE #FagiaWote
...and liberate the Kenyan State and all its institutions from the extractive, destructive political and business elite.

#KongamanoLaMageuzi #PoliticalEducationKE #FagiaWote #TekelezaKATIBA
KLM is to here to provide the sorely needed leadership and to ensure the total liberation of our country. We invite all Kenyans of goodwill to join us in this endeavour to free our only homeland from the grip of the barons in power.

#KongamanoLaMageuzi #FagiaWote

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.

Thread on growth... #Copied

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.

I am a traumatized Kenyan. Thread...

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!

A thread By Wachira Waihere (ex nyayo torture chambers Political Prisoner)

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...

SHAURI MOYO POLICE STATION

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.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE?

Thread the ongoing #SGBV & rape By @jacobaliet

There are several snakes of all sizes that are harmless to humans. In fact, they can be safely kept as pets and as a control for rodents....
However, there are also several venomous snakes and constrictors that are dangerous to humans.

So, what have humans done to deal with this situation?
Human beings have taught their kids, and the numbnuts among them, that snakes are dangerous and they should stay the hell away from snakes.

This has worked fairly well for humans. The flipside of it is that humans have ended up killing snakes needlessly.
