Good afternoon class!

Here is a thread of a post I did on October 12 2017

The colonialists always appointed Africans with flawed character to positions that had influence.

People who had skeletons in the closet or people ready to betray their communities and could even kill their own mothers. Chiefs, DOs, Legislative Council members, presidents and PMs who took over at "independence".

In Uthamakistan we call these people "Ngaati (home guards) or "kamatimu ("they or spears" colonial police)". In the rest of Kenya they're known as collaborators or sellouts.

This practice has continued with subsequent "post-independence" regimes. Check who has headed the most crucial dockets, independent institutions and departments in these regimes.

Rarely, less that 1% in my estimation, have we had people with necessary leadership skills and/or independence of thought, mind and deed in these positions.

This applies to security departments and agencies, licensing institutions/authorities, service delivery institutions, social services (all cash cows), etc.

Check the Supreme Court too. You can easily tell who are the state's gatekeepers and why.

They always appoint a qualified but compromised individual or a complete idiot and sycophant. Someone they have dirt on, or someone with flawed character... sometimes narcissists.

Someone whose loyalty is only to themselves and to their appointing authority, never to #WeThePeople. Never even to the tribe, though they pretend when they want to entice us for our votes.

And they're rewarded handsomely with our taxes (tenders), our land and our natural resources (and are swiftly punished if they stray). They have a license to loot at the pleasure and on behalf of the state.

Those who have tried to be independent and serve Kenyans with fidelity to the people, their jobs and the law have always been hounded out of office by the state, sometimes bankrupted, or even killed. Since colonial times. Without exception.

That is the crisis we are in today my fellow Kenyans. The colonial state is under threat and it's fighting back.

The @Kenyajudiciary has (Oct 2017) decided to be independent & serve Kenyans, best exemplified by 4 Supreme Court Judges but buttressed at all levels by Court of Appeal & High Court Judges as well as magistrates at various levels.

#DevolutionIsRevolution! It has taken power, decision making and resources from the center to mashinani.

That is the power of the Constitution of Kenya 2010. That's why it's under attack from the black colonialists.

We must protect it. It's a herculean task, but we must. We can.
