There is an epidemic in Kiambu County of intimate murders, mostly femicides, but @StandardKenya's fascination is with the murderer's car getting stuck in the mud.

There is a spiritual problem in that county. It signed a pact with the devil.

I suspect that more of this will happen till you know who leaves office. In 2014, I said that once we allowed crimes of humanity suspects in the highest office, Kenya thirsted for more blood.

Femicide. Whole towns of male suicide. Family murders. Rape of women and children.
Kenyans eating funds for treating Kenyans with covid. It's as if Kenya has turned into a country of vampires who find cruder and cruder ways of consuming human blood.

It starts at the very top. Kenyans have given up on being human and are not even aware.

Tragedy dictates that the king must suffer because he matters enough. In Kenya, we contradicted this principle and chose to sacrifice the lives of the poor for the rich.

The gods will not leave us alone until we atone for this sacrilege.

BBI must die and Muigai must go home. We must stop accepting to give everything to the rich, even our own lives. Kenyans have to pull away from this madness of letting the rich get away with killing us, because once it's acceptable at the top, it's is rampant at the bottom.

The fundamental difference between coloniality/imperialism/patriarchy on one hand, and humanity on the other, boils to one fundamental thing.

POWER.

We are dealing with two types of power that have two different results.
Coloniality of power is about the ability to extract from others. Extract work, especially, but also emotion, morality, creativity.. and the list goes on. Coloniality of power has no capacity to be human, to be creative or to produce.
Coloniality of power is about using violence to extract from others. So you enslave or employ, so that you don't work but benefit from others' work. Or you lead a life of decadence and then seek reputation laundering from the poor or those who did the work of living a moral life.

It says a lot that @LinusKaikai is unable to engage the economic/social questions raised by the DP. There are holes in what Ruto is saying, but Linus is always taking the conversation back to the bromance with Muigai.

The media need to do their homework.
#RutoOnCitizenTV
But Linus's fear of the poor also points to the contempt of the middle class for the poor. The middle class is more afraid of the poor uprising than they are of the economy collapsing. #RutoOnCitizenTV Image
Ruto is talking of expanding the tax base and statutory contributions but jobs are no longer permanent with benefits. There are no jobs with pension contributions. This is the uber economy.

If @LinusKaikai wasn't so anti-hustler, he would have picked that. #RutoOnCitizenTV

I recently stumbled upon Hannah Arendt's work. Not that it was the first time I heard of her, but it was the first time I'm paying attention.

There's something she says about empire that clicks with Kenya and explains our neurosis in Kenya.
Kenyans, especially the educated, are extremely afraid of adulthood. We adults face our kids as helpless, rather than as parents. We watch the state
create a violent education system and say nothing.
When our kids have had enough and lash out, the state threatens them with jail and permanent criminality, and we say nothing.

We even cheer the police when they shoot our youth.

The political class is eating our kids' future with loans, we say nothing.

CBC is an administrators' curriculum. It was never about the children. It was about controlling teachers and reducing their collective voice, especially as a union.

Muigai started that war against teachers in 2010, when he was Finance and acting education minister.
#RejectCBC
In 2010, the British, through @DFID_UK were looking for a business model for education. Just like with Cambridge Analytica, Kenya was the testing ground.

They conducted a very unethical experiment with schools in Kakamega county.
As the thread explains, the experiment was to pay teachers 5k, then compare the exam results of the kids they teach with the exam results of TSC unionized teachers. The game plan was to say that paying teachers human wages with benefits has no impact on education.

When I look at what is happening with CBC, I'm convinced more than ever that Muigai has to go. He needs to go before those kids are forced into secondary school and their education is stiffled.
#uhurumustgo
If Muigai leaves in 2021, we can stall this CBC and go back to the drawing board. It's not too late. But what he is preparing for our children is frightening. He wants them to become roaming manual labour who will never challenge his rule as president for life. #uhurumustgo
Kenyans must name each and every KICD official, especially PhD holders, who decided that the kids of Kenya must never attain the kind of education they got. This is tyranny of the bureaucrats having common interests with the dynasty to control the natives. #uhurumustgo

Early specialization in the education system is called one word.

ARISTOCRACY.

This idea that it's good to decide to be a cook when you are 6 years old came from the British class system through colonialism. The basic idea is that if you're born a hustler, you die a hustler.
In the Cruikshank's "British Beehive" of the 19th century, the idea was that people were born into careers, rather than chose them. The purpose of exams was not for intelligence but to determine the 3% who would escape their social status at birth. bl.uk/collection-ite…
That system arrived here in Kenya as colonialism. The best schools with the most resources were for wazungu, the next layer for Asians, and the bottom for Africans. Africans did more exams than the other upper levels so as to limit their progression.

That's been returned by CBC.
