@KWPFIVE Public participation inaingiliaje tena kwa representative democracy?

The word democracy means RULE BY THE PEOPLE. Meaning,the people decides. Greeks coined this term in the 5th century BCE to describe the political system of Athens. Back then, it wasn't about electing politicians to go to parliament, it was a direct democracy where every citizen gathered in a massive public square to debate and vote on laws themselves. But,.....because people are many and are scattered all over the country, we primarily practice Representative Democracy. This is a regular mechanism where citizens choose who will represent them. That chosen person then makes decisions on behalf of the populace. There was a Rule of Law, it stated that laws apply equally to everyone, the President, the richest tycoon, and the regular citizen,all were subject to the exact same legal standard. Lakini wakenya ni akina nani 😂😂😂. Democracy is not the problem here, because it promised equality despite statuses. But the reality on the ground is totally the opposite. The problem is when money, media control, and information gaps allow the Elites to MANUFACTURE the choices for the public, the people have never decided on anything,it was all orchestrated by the system. Meaning whoever you chose, it wasn't your choice even if you felt it was, those choices were deliberately put there. 🤗🤗🤗.

@KWPFIVE Yes. Simple 1+1. Okey, not so simple.

Although,given that am a metaphysics person. The truth is Democracy is fundamentally FLAWED because it is an inversion of natural cosmic law. simple.

@BVL2024 @Kenyans @MoraraKebaso @lawsocietykenya Now we are talking.

@Kenyans I totally understand @MoraraKebaso . Like the seat of Member of Parliament to start with should not even be an elective position but a meritocratic system of appointment via vetting by @lawsocietykenya under strict governance guidelines. Then we shall avoid Mtu-Wetu Mediocrity.

We have to get to a point and accept that democracy cannot work for us - Morara

@DavidNdii As I have always believed, the Ocampo six was a political list and had little if any to do with actual prosecution.

My last conversation was a brief phone call after I saw him on TV being enthroned as muthamaki by Michuki and company. Had he heeded, he would not have ended up in ICC, but then again, he might not have become president seeing as it was ICC symphathies that propelled him.

On Uthamaki’s Bogeyman Politics: Time to call the demonization of President Ruto what it is (a long thread)

@DavidNdii I remember seeing the newspaper advert with pictures of the new currency and wondering how that was not 100% a contravention of the Constitution.

Second, dynastic hubris. The 2010 constitution outlawed individual potraits on the currency. When new designs were presented to Kibaki, with Uhuru in attendance as Finance Minister, he threw one of his famous juvenile tantrums. Compromise was reached. The potrait was replaced by KICC with Jomo’s statue prominent.

@Tadymontana @Bygones_24 What is the appropriate time to do it? Is it 1 day before, is it half an hour prior, or one week?

@Bygones_24 We all know who won't hand over.. and what you are saying is exactly what he will do, He will kidnap officials.. let's see boy

Uhuru didnt want to hand peaceful. Ruto made him do that. He planned to kidnap chebukatti after the same National Security Council went to Bomas and tried to force Chebukati. Then made many attempts to force their way to Bomas, shut the generator and all shenanigans. What stopped them. Ruto was ahead with 500 privately armed militias inside Bomas and they feared a shoot out in Bomas. Diarhoeaing Uhuru and Matiangi could only watch as Chebukati handed the certficiate to winner.

@Bygones_24 @Andrewlimo21 @RobertAlai APs whom he personally chose?

@Andrewlimo21 @RobertAlai Recce were withdrawn from Ruto office and he was given APs.

@Bygones_24 @weaver018 What? What is the whole story...what happened?

@weaver018 You think Kibicho and his security forces could leave things to just boil over - the idiots were BEATEN TEN NIL. They tried to force their way to Bomas only to find Bomas crowd was full of armed Kalenjin militia. They called their boss - abort mission - and start diarhoea.

@peterwangui426 @Branicemercy Sounds like mimba

@Branicemercy Daktari my right side rib imekuwa ikiuma sana , sometimes nikipumua pain ina occur then after a moment inapotea, what could be the problem?

My kichwa ngumu always lands me at the police station instead of finishing my business on the road 🤧🤧….

@SonTheThird @Key07270611 @lauren_w67 Not gonna lie...that is stupidly smart

Yeah, science!!! 😂 😂

@JohnMas79251083 @ArapTilingi It is the nature of office in every trust-deficient society. Would you rather choose an ally or a potential enemy within the ranks like Gachagua turned out to be?

@ArapTilingi The list does not reflect the face of Kenya..... Ama security sector is different?

This had to happen immediately because that was very dangerous and unprofessional. Maiyo failed to provide good leadership at PEU.

@KiokoEksEks @SamuelAtandi @TheODMparty You can't force the water at the bottom of a waterfall up, or force a river upstream.

@SamuelAtandi @TheODMparty has never gone this low in history; blogging for the Government that it addressed it as illegitimate until end of 2024!

Facts on Finance Bill 2026

@being_Fala @Kenyans Even so, how much can be made from 1 million acres?

@Kenyans Industrial hemp fiber50 kg: $11–$28 Hemp seeds/grain 50kg: $50–$300. CBD hemp flower ,Roughly $5,500–$44,000 CBD hemp biomass/trim (lower-grade material for extraction,50 kg:Likely under $1,000 High-THC cannabis flowerFor 50 kg: $70,000–$110,000+ His figures are exaggerated

I just need 200,000 acres at Galana Kulalu to plant hemp. 50kgs of hemp is 307 million US dollars - Wajackoyah

@PetesMurithi @ahmednasirlaw @Paul_Muite @GitobuImanyara Read the whole document.

@ahmednasirlaw @Paul_Muite @GitobuImanyara Technically, they haven't denied the existence of that proposal. Just not in the Finance bill

@Paul_Muite @GitobuImanyara

I looked at Public Debts for Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia 2025. Kenya US$ 100 Billion ( KShs 12.8 Trillion) Tanzania US$ 46 Billion ( KShs 5.9 Billion) Ethiopia US$ 51 Billion ( KShs 6.5 Billion). Note that Public Debts for Ethiopia and Tanzania are 50% of Kenyas Public Debt. It is difficult to tell where Kenya's KShs 12.8 Trillion was used. I will analyse looking at major Projects the 3 Countries have undertaken since 2002 when the three has almost same Public Debts at US$ 7 Billion. I will look at Kenya last. Tanzania: 1. US$ 10 Billion Shs 1 Trillion 2,300km Standard Gauge Railway Dar Dodoma Mwanza Kigoma linking Rwanda Burundi DRC 2. US$ 3.6 Billion Julius Nyerere Hydro Power Plant 2115 MW 3. US$ 260 Million JPM Magufuli 3.2km Bridge Lake Victoria. 4. Dar es Salaam BRT US$ 332 Million 5. Kigamboni Bridge US$ 136 Million. 6. US$ 550 my Kinyerezi 400MW Gas Turbines Total US$ 14.8 Billion ( Shs 1.28 Trillion) If you consider Tanzania has built more Bitumen Roads (15,000kms versus 9,500km for Kenya), already about 50% of the Foreign Debt is accounted for. And Julius Nyerere HPP was funded largely from Exchequer. Similarly more than 50% of SGR was funded from Exchequer. Ethiopia: 1. US$ 5 Billion Grand Renaissance Dam 5150 MW 2. US$ 4 Billion 750 km Addis Djibouti Electrified SGR 3. US$ 1.7 Billion Awash Woldia SGR 425 km 4. You can't ignore Ethiopian Airlines, one of the biggest in the World with 150 Aircraft with 70 Wide Body Aircraft 100% Govt owned. At US$ 250 Million each, that is at a minimum US$ 20 Billion US$ 12.7 Billion KShs 2.66 Trillion. Again already about 50% of the Public Debt is accounted for. And they can even fund GERD US$ 5 Billion from Exchequer. Kenya 1. US$ 3.26 Billion 600km SGR Mombasa Suswa 2. Olkaria Power Stations US$ 1.3 Billion 3. US$ 360 40km Thika Superhighway 4. US$ 800 Nairobi Expressway 5. US$ 400m Dongo Kundu 17km Total US$ 6.12 KShs 783 Billion. When you compare with Shs 12.8Trilliin Debt,bthus is a mere 6% you can see. I can't think of a Major Project the size of Julius Nyerere HPP or GERD in Ethiopia that Kenya has funded from internal resources the last 25 years. Remember Kenya has borrowed KShs 6.4 Trillion more than either of those two countries. Moreover Tanzania has 15,000 km Bitumen Roads more than Kenya at 9,500km The ex Pres. Uhuru Kenyatta opined that about KShs 2B ( US$ 17 million) was being stolen everyday during his tenure. It is not far from the truth. If you consider Tanzania is almost double the size of Kenya and people live everywhere. Kenya, we live in only 30% of the Country. So Tanzania has more Roads, Population and Public services compared to Kenya. Ideally Kenya's annual Budget should be half of Tanzania. Instead it is 1.5 times bigger That is about Shs 1 Trillion 'lost' annually. This problem started after 2002 because the Public Debts were the same in the 3 Countries at US$ 7 Be each. The mistake in Kenya is probably the choice of Political System. We chose Democracy where the one who does a better public circus gets elected. So you can end up with more than 90% of elected representatives with a dubious background who can lead a country into the abyss. Unlike Ethiopia and Tanzania who tend to have Technocratic high quality leadership because of their Socialist past. If you look at Kenyan Politicians the last 20 years and see who could make it in CCM Tanzanian leadership, very very few can make it. And today, Kenya cannot do any minor Project without borrowing. And we are still promoting PPPs as if it is free money. Useless PPPs like Motor Vehicle Inspections, Speed Cameras, Africa50, Adani etc So long as Foreigners are doing the PPPs, it is a burden on the KShs and they will have to be paid in US$ FOREX. Kenya needs now to start thinking about whether the choices of Democracy and Devolution were a mistake. At the moment, Kenya's future is bleak and nobody seems to have a clue on how to reverse.

@reynarulz @Benign_Overlord I always suspected that and it is probably what I would do too.

@Benign_Overlord Quite normal. Infact COA Judges normally peruse the file when first placed before them and quickly make interim notes & determination pending hearing.

The 3 judge bench in the Riggy G impeachment case will render its judgement on 8th June 2026. Merely 2 weeks. I think this means that already the bench knows what it will rule or they're hurrying up so that the case can go through the appellate system by May/June 2027.

@SalutRn @makaumutua Mtu akikuwa mjinga anafaa kulambwa ama? Gachagua was becoming a problem. Angebembelezwa?

@makaumutua If Ruto hanged Gashagua,the man who helped him floor Raila and Uhuru,explain to me like Karen Nyamu why he will not betray Oburu?😂

Gachagua cannot believe that the Parliament sacked him as President Ruto’s numero dos. He’s refused to move on. Someone please teach him the FIVE stages of grief — Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. He’s still at the DENIAL stage!

@makaumutua At this rate it would take him 67 years 2 months 3 days 7 hours 39 minutes and 47 seconds.

@ericodorugi @Osama_otero @Pontifex Exactly. There are no shortcuts to prosperity. Just like in Ruto's case, whoever was to succeed Uhuru was bound to suffer.

@Osama_otero Even today if we elect @Pontifex to be our president Less than 2 months we shall start shouting pope must go🤣🤣🤣🤣

Gen Z presisent wa Senegal mwenye mlisema mngetamani a replace Ruto wetu naona anafanya mambo huko Senegal.

@danformulas @Osama_otero And same Ruto would be so loved and topple over that government in under 6 months

@Osama_otero Jimmy Wanjigi once said "those shouting 1 term, wakipewa uongozi, Kenyans will still complain after some months"
