You’re evidence that education needs to be taken more seriously, and by that I don’t mean schooling. You talk, without having the capacity to even understand that you’re not thinking.
Kenya needs a DA Party. Say all you want about white people but most of them have a value system which we seem to lack.

Ironically the reason Kenyans are mad about this post is just like their leaders they have no politics beyond “good governance” and “mtu wetu”. They would not be able to spot neocolonialism if it hit them in the face.
This is all very correct.
The West has three strongholds in Africa: Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya where the opposition has been completely broken, is rotting in jail or has ceased to exist in any meaningful way. Those in power and those who want to be, bow to the power of Western imperialism.

I love this. You should know that you’ll be held accountable by others in their lives. Sometimes people act funny when they see it’s a twenty something they’re dealing with.
The biggest problem with Gen Z is if you delay to pay them for 2 days, it is the mum who will give you a call... 😆😆😆!

I want to scream: HALVING HCW’s WAGES, IS INSANE. IMF will pay and so will Ruto and co. Because what tf, it’s like they’re creating a pipeline for Labor exports because who tf would want to work here being paid HALF of what they’re owed AT MINIMUM?
I’m so angry. Wow

Like homophobia, this drug prohibition is just a way of diverting responsibility for underdevelopment to “vices”.
It’s a way for the political class to position themselves as doing something, as they continue to loot and accumulate.

This finance bill is worse than the last one. It’s the way they are putting a nail in the coffin of this economy, once industry goes even litigation that’s successful will not bring them back.

You can lose your mind on this site. The goings on in this country are crazy. The floor keeps opening, there are indeed infinite underground levels.

They want to kill each and every single dot of creativity, enterprise and even the motivation to attend your freaking basic 9-5.
Rentierism is killing this country. By killing industry/working they are also making it so that only option for getting by is also seeking rents
