Africa had the best textile industries in the world.
Kenya had KICOMI, The Kisumu Cotton Mill which produced the highest quality fabrics in East and Central Africa.
KICOMI was a giant textile company which made Kisumu an essential hub for school uniforms and made the micro-economy of Kisumu very vibrant.
It sustained the lives of cotton farmers in Siaya and Kisumu.
KICOMI even had a football team which natured young talents across Nyanza.
Politicians and their proxies looted KICOMI to it's exhaustion.
Kenya is also the second largest producer of the best quality of Sisal in the whole world.
Local industries were looted to exhaustion and Kenya was turned into an import economy.
The most fertile parcels of land were grabbed, some kept idle and some are being used to produce raw materials for European companies.

Muammar risked his life to tell the world about El Fasher, choosing to stay through a starvation siege even when he had the means to leave. He is one of Sudan’s bravest journalists, he must not be forgotten. We must continue to demand his release from the UAE-RSF militia
CPJ MENA@CPJMENA
#Sudan: Journalist Muammar Ibrahim has been detained by the Rapid Support Forces in El-Fasher for six months, since October 2025. No independent or verifiable information is available regarding his health, legal status, or conditions of detention. We urge the RSF to immediately release Ibrahim and to ensure his safety and physical well-being. cpj.org/2026/01/cpj-pa… #FreeMuammar #FreeMuammarIbrahim

They've engineered the silence because they fear you more than they fear any judge. An informed public is their worst nightmare. So read the filings. Track the hearings. Ask the hard questions. The @IMFAfrica @KeTreasury, @NAssemblyKE, and every pen that signed these loans must answer.
Some politicians waiting in the wings will not speak because they hope to inherit the same broken system. To those seeking office: this is a test of principle. You cannot inherit a system you refuse to question.
We don't need their headlines to know our rights. The Constitution didn't give us a voice to whisper. The front page isn't theirs to give. It's ours to demand. Stay loud. Stay informed. The law is on our side

It’s actually crazy that Okiya’s odious debt case is not major headline news. Should be on the front page!!!
