@StateHouseKenya Disaster Mgmt is a shared responsibility of our entire nation. Everybody MUST contribute. After @InteriorKE let @NDOCKenya go to oblivion. KDF-DRU can spearhead redress to our wanting & lacklustre current situation. A thread. @kdfinfo @Anon1KENYA @BasilioCC That Disaster Mgmt was devolved whilst in ICU after the CoK 2010 was enacted, is no secret. Why then can't we use the likes of the KDF-DRU which has been in existence in 2006, to redress our current rot. Use DRU's the core capabilities, to achieve our National Preparedness Goal ?

@StateHouseKenya @FredMatiangi The innovation seen here, says a lot about what we as Kenyans MUST do. NOT just when forced into a tight corner, but also in getting rid of the rotten fish head, our leadership is ! A thread. @alaminkimathi @WanjikuRevolt @ajfactual52 @RasnaWarah

@ItsKimingichi That your worries kinda ceased, when you say the life saving innovation is one thing my brother. That the same is an indication of a bigger National problem, that of our poor Emergency Response, & its urgent need for redress, another. @moalbrecht @bintikombo

STATE MUST RUN FIRE & RESCUE SERVICES !

@Devolution_254 @county_forum @MyGovKe @UgatuziKenya @kenfiba @NMS_Kenya @KeTreasury
The guiding Fire & Rescue Bill 20. & replication by all 47 Counties aside. Has devolution of it worked ? That Fire & Rescue services play a crucial role in making Kenyan communities safer, whether it be preventing, protecting people from fire & other risks, or responding
effectively to incidents & emergencies that occur. Is a no brainer. But are they facilitated sufficiently to ?

@InteriorKE @NPSOfficial_KE @IG_NPS
Please stop joking.
Apparently we have a Critical Infrastructure Protection Unit (CIPU) within AP & forms an integral part to our homeland security. But do they really know what their vast responsibilities entail other than armed guarding ? There are 12 critical infrastructure sectors whose assets & systems, whether physical or virtual, are so vital to Kenya, that their incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating effect on national security,economy public health, safety, or any combination thereof.

@NMS_Kenya @InteriorKE @KenyaGovernors Yes it can be done & Female Emergency Responders are some of the finest wing-men anyone can wish for, on ground zero. It is time, Kenya went full out to have Female Firefighters in our Fire Brigade rank & file.Thread
euronews.com/2018/06/23/fem… When I joined hands with the Late Jean Francois Antoine (RIP) & his son Dominique Antoine, to start Urban Fire Services, Kenya's 1st Private Fire Service in 2002. It was not a cake walk. Especially with the obstacles, the then Nairobi City Council Fire Service threw at us.

George Orwell's allegorical novella, Animal Farm, says it all about today's Kenya. It makes a very literal argument: Especially how our, so called leaders exploit & oppress us, common Kenyans. Let's comparatively walk the Animal Farm characters, with ours truly ! A thread. Napoleon-Uhuru Kenyatta
The leader of Animal Farm (Kenya) under ''Tano Terror''. He has, loyal attack dogs to intimidate the other animals & consolidate his power. His supreme craftiness, (handcheque/BBI) may prove him more treacherous than his counterpart, Snowball, come 2022.

If you read George Orwell's Animal Farm, you definitely remember Squealer. The pig who spread Napoleon’s propaganda among the other animals. Justified the pigs’ monopolization of resources & spreads false statistics pointing to the farm’s success.
kenyans.co.ke/news/65201-tuj… Squealer, was an exemplary sycophantic mouth piece. A good example thus, of the many ways in which those in power, often use rhetoric & language to twist the truth. To gain, maintain social & political control.

@StateHouseKenya @KenyaGovernors
Dear Mr. President.
I believe if you never read George Orwell's allegorical novella the ''Animal Farm'' first published in 1945. You acquainted with''All animals being equal, with some animals,are more equal than others?
standardmedia.co.ke/national/artic… This allegorical novella has enough characters in it, that depict today's Kenya, your leadership, it's unfairness's & Utopia if you may. Two main characters Napoleon & his counter part Snowball, for instance depicts the handshake properly. But that is a story for another day.

Today's political science too often inculcates a dispassionate view of politics among scholars. Somewhere in the "literature reviews," mathematical models, "event counts," & language of "transaction costs" are buried issues and incidents that have real impacts on people's lives.

1980-to 2002, restrictions on speech & association in Kenya chilled discussion of policy & institutional development. Kenyans, civil servants included became noticeably less willing to take decisions, for fear of disapproval, & Govt business in some ministries slowed markedly.

@AfricanUpdates That aviation is an important fully unexploited contributor to economic growth & development within Africa. Can open & connect markets, facilitating trade & enabling linkage into global supply chains. Is in no doubt, but our protectionist Govts & myopic thinking?

https://twitter.com/africaupdates/status/1393065503963353090

Whereas, enhancing air connectivity can help raise productivity, by encouraging investment & innovation; improving business operations & efficiency. The protectionism current is a bane, many continue to ignore.

@StateHouseKenya @InteriorKE @UgatuziKenya @KenyaGovernors @RailaOdinga Don't blame floods wreaking havoc, on the Hand of God. It is simply poor leadership & ineptitude on your watch ! A thread. @ajfactual52 @Anon1KENYA @AmazingKisumu

standardmedia.co.ke/world/article/… The fire part is not just a wake up call, but a challenge to Kenya as regards NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS & Actions Needed to Address Gaps in the Nation’s Emergency Management Capabilities. But is any of you in the leadership positions at the least bit concerned ?

Without a National Prep'dness System outlining an organized process moving efforts forward, & leading to the achievement of would be safety goals ? That chance ended up making politically correct billionaires. @ajfactual52 @alaminkimathi @mlimakenya @RasnaWarah @JerotichSeii

https://twitter.com/ajfactual52/status/1377067976017514498

National Preparedness System
It normally outlines an organized process for everyone in the whole community or stakeholding, to move forward with their prep'dness activities & achieve the National Preparedness Goal. (If there is any set).
