1641391788710588418 | Watching the maandamano in Imara Daima, it is clear once again that without police, there is little violence. Maandamano is not the problem. The state's violence and abrogation of constitutional guarantees are. | 676 |
1645340626727100416 | If GoK is too broke to pay salaries, we should start by freezing all payments and benefits to those at the very top including anyone with Hon or HE in front of their name, as well as all senior government officials. Then sit back and watch how quickly they solve the crisis. | 325 |
1636944829266501634 | LGBTQ Kenyans are being forced to flee places like Mombasa and there are some online reports of attacks and possible deaths. This is what the hatefest is leading to. It is not just an academic debate. People's lives are at stake. https://t.co/R0N5mncKzl | 222 |
1637811600894705666 | Kenyan autocrats never learn. This paranoid show of brutal force has done more to rehabilitate @RailaOdinga's post-handshake image than even he could have hoped. It turns the spotlight on GoK and reminds many that the state, and those in control of it, remain the primary enemy. | 188 |
1636795305923604480 | It is important to keep in mind that most of the violence during street protests and mass action is actually perpetrated by the state. The calls to keep the peace on Monday should be majorly directed at GoK and the police, not at Kenyans exercising their constitutional rights. | 187 |
1636627450321948672 | I think Nabii William Zakayo V's appointment of 50 CASs is more than just a middle finger to Kenyans. I think he's showing @RailaOdinga et al his willingness to abuse state power regardless of the opprobrium it earns him. It is his coming out party as the reincarnation of Nyayo. | 161 |
1645850136633827328 | Speaking of disinformation, there's a big sign next to The Mall in Westlands that reads "The Mall Entrance" but that actually leads you onto the Expressway where you are forced to pay KSh120 to go to the Museum Hill exit and then make your way back to The Mall. @SakajaJohnson | 155 |
1640243038386626561 | Sometimes I feel like many Kenyans don't really appreciate what they signed up to with the 2010 constitution; what it really means to be a tolerant, democratic country committed to upholding the rights and welfare of all, and where government requires the consent of the governed. | 142 |
1648348794264731655 | Question: How does an MP become a "patron" of a @KeRRA_Ke project funded by the Road Maintenance Fuel Levy? https://t.co/O4hnZDkgRS | 121 |
1637821079908483072 | Isn't it interesting that it is the Hustler government teargassing people in Mathare and Kibra, and that it is now the Dynasties candidate who is courting them? If anything speaks to the emptiness of KE electoral frameworks, that is it. | 109 |
