Politics in Kenya Explained

@potentash You mistake instinct for sacrifice

Community is important but why is it always the women who have to give up things for community building? A man (partner or brother) would never be asked to miss classes to look after a new baby or the mum but it will be expected that her sisters or SIL should sacrifice.

@miss_mumbzk By the year 2031, all millenials will be 36 years old or more disqualifying them as youth. Gen Z will be the old youth. Gen Alphas will be the new youth. 4 years. Let that be a warning to all of us to never again make protests a generational affair. Protests must be Kenyan

People don’t want to hear it but it is because we are not organised. You cannot sustain struggle on the basis of anger and the hope that people will react to scandal. We have to develop strategies together, identify and respond via collective action.

@noah_muhindi Welcome to the world of the global citizen. This is happening in the US, UK, Canada, Germany etc. Kenya and South Africa are no exception. Your points are valid but it's a new age. Governments are under orders to facilitate the global citizen. These are the times

I hate to say it, but Elachi is right. If you slow down and stop looking at her merely as a politician, you will see her point. ​Nobody is saying Burundians physically assaulted anyone or stole anything. The argument is about structural displacement, and that is a legitimate policy concern, not xenophobia. ​When foreign workers are willing to share a bedsitter five to a room and send most of their earnings back to Bujumbura, they can afford to accept wages that are simply unlivable for a Kenyan facing Kenyan rent, Kenyan school fees, and the Kenyan cost of living. That is not a moral failing on either side, it is an economic reality. When employers exploit that gap, the Kenyan worker loses every single time. (As an employer, I have even tried to hire a Burundian this year for that very reason, cheap labor.) ​Looking at the bigger picture, this is not just about Burundians. Chinese are operating retail shops in the Kamukunji and Luthuli areas, spaces that Kenyan law explicitly reserves for citizens, while allegedly enjoying tax arrangements that local traders cannot access. That is not fair competition; it is a rigged game. Let's not talk about Somalis, Nigerians and Tanzanians who are in the country illegally. ​The real indictment here is against the government. Kenya's unemployment numbers are genuinely crazy. When you have a government that cannot absorb its own working-age population, the minimum responsibility it owes its citizens is to enforce the labor and immigration laws that already exist. That is not extreme, that is basic governance. ​The South Africa comparison is wild😂Nobody is advocating for violence. Demanding policy enforcement is not xenophobia, and mixing the two only serves to shut down the serious economic conversations we need to have.

@Disembe Another reason why you never eise beyond your station. A jack of no trade

Safaricom or Equity Bank would build these but the narrow-mindedness of Africans like Mwangi and Ndegwa is out of this world…

@Kimuzi_ Hakuna uongozi wa kupatiwa

Maraga for president, Sifuna Deputy. Kenya's salvation.

@BrianOpangao You must be joking right? There's only one community in this country that owns its own political party, elects Governors and other elected officials from the party and thus controls its own destiny. If the members decide to make every elected official work, the sky is the limit

Kenyan politics is still so tribal and the 2027 elections is still going to be decided on the same lines. Wewe umeona Mkamba hasupport Kalonzo even after 40 years of doing absolutely nothing for them..?

@Donsarigo It's humorous how the Breadbased govt is only suddenly realizing that the Gachagua impeachment means Wantam is real. Look at you guys praying for a chance to play the tribal card. Your goose is cooked. Watch democracy in practice

So, finally, Mt Kenya has entered the 2027 presidential race? Irungu Kang’ata joining Linda Mwanachi means the Kikuyu Nation, through him, will play for nothing less than the Deputy Presidential slot. The governor's seat looks attractive for Kang’ta wa Mabarua, and because this man has delivered on “almost” every election promise, he stands a chance of winning a national seat! He should go for it. People of the Mountain love performing leaders. Kang’ata will not run on the DCP ticket; a coalition that allows other parties like Jubilee, DP, PNU, PLP, among others, to field candidates will definitely be an attractive pick for him. DCP must fend off this political aggression. Whether Kang’ata wa Mabarua is tapped for the deputy presidential slot or he runs again as Governor for Murang’a, his announcement that he identifies with Linda Mwananchi has upset the political infrastructure of the Mountain. It's early days, but we are here to witness what happens next, and wouldn't it be a good idea for Muranga to go for the big seat? Kwani it's only Kiambu and Nyeri that can produce presidents?

@Disembe You only have to go back to your tweets in the post-handshake 2018 and BBI era to realize you suffer from multiple personality disorder. Politics cannot save you. You need to see a doctor. Treat this as urgent

90% of congregants in that church never heard the ‘prayers’. This level of historical revisionism is sad.

@byvenussss He planted a seed of insecurity in the mind of your date. Sahani ishavunjika. Nunua mpya

Ran into my former boss jana at the club while I was on a date and he told my date “well done”💀💀 Hello? 💀

The reason I support the total destruction of tribalists here in Kenya is so that we do not degenerate to this animalistic level.

@Disembe What's the Governor's job?

This is the divide in Kenya today. People who come from regions already massively developed want the rest of Kenya stuck in its derelict state. This atavistic fear of a uniformly developed Kenya is the reason you see these minions shout wantam with so much fervor. Halt “hardware” development?

@wahomethuku There are 5 other ballot papers to tick. Wake up

A GEN Z. A 24 year old. Queuing in the cold outside a village public primary school in Nyeri at 5.30am. Waiting for the polling station to open To vote for 74-yr old Kalonzo Musyoka as the 6th President of the Republic of Kenya. Hope that all what the Gen Z has been demanding and clamouring for in his young life will be fulfilled by President Kalonzo and his kingmaker Rigathi Gachagua. Apanaaa. Wacha ikae

@ephraimnjegafan This is why theorists always move around in circles and eventually never affect anything to significant effect. It's so easy to distract a theorist. Just agree with them in your own words, and watch them fight you. Choose your battles lest argue over every miniscule detail

Gachagua is turning affordable housing into a populist punchline, yet his remarks expose something deeper: a shocking ignorance of the social housing crisis in Kenya. 🧵

@_fels1 There'll be no candidate from Mt. Kenya. Ruto has no boogeyman to fight. Wantam is real!

Ndindi Nyoro deputized by Sifuna can also be a good duo. With 10 million Mt. Kenya votes, there is no way they will go into an election contest without a president or deputy. It has never happened since independence. I hope you, however, know the final outcome.

@IanECox What did we need guns for? To shoot disease. Or to kill drought?

"Africans" did not live in sync with nature.. The population was just very low and they didn't have guns. ALL humans are destructive.

DEAR WORLD HERE is the paradox in Kenya's 2027 presidential election. The incumbent President desperately wants the chief opposition figure to be on the ballot. The supporters of the chief opposition figure don't want him on the ballot. Very interesting. In other African countries, the incumbent President ensures the main opposition leader is either barred or completely abstracted from running. We are facing the complete opposite scenario in Kenya. The sitting president is even ready to buy out all other candidates to ensure he is only left with his former deputy in the race. On the other hand the supporters of the former deputy president (who are about 12million in number) don't want to hear he can be on the ballot.

@Disembe Don't you ever get tired of being on the losing side? All these years and for what? Either switch sides or switch careers coz you're definitely not good at this

It was Raila Odinga himself who recommended Faith Odhiambo to sit in the Victims Compensation Panel. Compensation is the easiest and most cost-effective way to alleviate the pain and suffering of victims of state rights infractions. Faith Odhiambo became LSK President having lobbied everywhere; but the votes weren’t quite in. She then visited Raila Odinga to get his backing. Posturing as pro-Baba to get the support of Baba lawyers then turning her back on the one thing Baba really wanted to happen — the compensation of his supporters living with life-long injuries, and the payments to the families of those the state killed. Sabotaging victims compensation was the last truant act from that political conwoman. Baba’s curse is on her. Therefore, to those of us who wanted the victims of 2013, 2017 and 2023 post-election violence compensated per Baba’s wishes, Faith Odhiambo’s political career is DEAD as a dodo.

@W_Asherah @AkinyiMaikoo Hope you get help

@Red_Hand_Kenya @AkinyiMaikoo Of nyanis and kundules 😂😂😂 Pole kababa.

"Caning didn't harm me" people are the same ones who live in fight, flight, freeze modes. You have never known a relaxed state and you're here lecturing us about caning 😂 Si you first start by reacting like a regulated adult during an argument. Then we'll believe you 🤣🤣🤣

@W_Asherah @AkinyiMaikoo The only time the word "trigger" is used when not referring to guns is when someone's trying to escape accountability by blaming their actions on "being overwhelmed by emotion and trauma". Let me not be too hard on you, I don't want to "trigger an anxiety attack"

@Red_Hand_Kenya @AkinyiMaikoo For real? Because I thought the baseline should be a calm nervous system. Turns out you should always be on alert. Wait - did the tweet trigger a fight response? 🤣

@W_Asherah Science has tsught you that human beings are separate from nature. That's why any primitivity you note in humans leads you to automatically regard it as a symptom of some man-made trauma. For example, anyone who doesn't agree with you needs a shrink

😂😂😂 Nervous system said - FIGHT!
