I see many KK bloggers claiming that GenZ are young, gullible & need mentorship. For the avoidance of doubt, this movement is not a conversation between parents and their children about table manners. Rather, it is between citizens and their elected officials. Stand guided.

Three elections 2013, 2017, and 2022. Three petitions. Three Supreme Court rulings. The same question arrives each: Can we trust this? In 2027, the question has to stop being what is broken and start being who benefits from leaving it broken? jimindia.substack.com/p/democracy-on…

The 2027 presidential election in Kenya is likely to be decided at the Supreme Court again! The 14-day window for hearing the case and 60-day window for a re-run needs to be amended. Read more of my critique of 2013/17&22 petitions - jimindia.substack.com/p/democracy-on…

This question is asked alot and my response is and will remain the same; I don't have a preffered presidential candidate yet, but I know who isn't and that is good enough for me right now. #RutoMustGo #Wantam

If you reside in Dagoretti North - Kilimani, Kileleshwa, Kawangware, Kabiro & Gatina. Let's link up next week Tuesday (24th) at the IEBC office on Ngong Road (Maliposa Apartments next to Marsabit Plaza) and register as voters! Ifikie UoN and Daystar Uni students. #TukoKadi

We stepped out of the house as unregistered voters and now we head back home as registered voters😃

🚨 KENYANS, WE MUST PAY ATTENTION TO THIS Parliament is proposing changes to the Citizenship & Immigration Act that should concern us all. After independence, the law allowed migrants who had lived in Kenya to apply for citizenship within a limited window of 7 years post-independence. Now the proposed amendment removes that deadline entirely and introduces a vague test of “habitual residence since 1963.” How will anyone verify residence from 60+ years ago? And who has never 'found' a country 6 decades post-independence? Yet citizenship automatically means: • The right to vote • The right to influence elections • The right to shape who governs Kenya Mnaona kwenye wanaenda na hii maneno!! ⚠️ Parliament is considering this amendment right now. 📅 Deadline for public participation: 24th March YOU MUST SPEAK ON THIS!! Silence on laws like this today can shape who votes tomorrow. #PublicParticipation #ProtectKenya #CitizenshipLaw @Njeriwamwea84 @BundiKirianki @eastersins @GyanWahome @KijanayaKabras @mi6rima @MugureNjehia @Wanjiru2027 @abbiezuena

Prof Anyang' Nyong'o: Generational contest within ODM should refine, not frighten, us. A movement that cannot debate cannot think. One that cannot reproduce leadership cannot reproduce relevance. Young leaders questioning old assumptions is renewal, not rebellion. But generational change must not become amnesia. The new must study the old. The old must mentor the new.

There’s no guesswork when it comes to ambition, dreams, and vision; but you will weep (a little) when you read the tender documents for the modernisation of Kenya’s main airport, JKIA. You see, the minister of transport issued a brief that says that by 2045, the airport will be handling 22.31 million passengers and 860,400 tons of cargo. /1

I think we should reduce the voting age to 16yrs in Kenya, and here is why- jimindia.substack.com/p/a-young-nati…

"Ageism in Kenya’s democracy does not announce itself openly......the message is subtle but consistent: wait your turn, navigate the bureaucracy, prove your worth." Read more on my substack - jimindia.substack.com/p/a-young-nati…

ODM - Linda Mwananchi believes they can challenge Ruto for the presidency. While ODM - Linda Ground believes hawana power and can only negotiate with Ruto for "kitu kidogo". That's the difference.

I hope Coster Ojwang amelipwa for using the song, "Jowi".

When Oburu said "Tunataka power," - I immediately wondered, what did Raila want his entire political life? I have put together some thoughts on substack. jimindia.substack.com/p/when-democra…

The one thing that Sifuna and Co have that the United opposition lacks is street credit - they have been consistent since the beginning of the people led movement in 2023/24. At this pace, there might be a mathematical chance of sending Ruto home in 2027.

Lest we forget

We must never forget.

One day someone will write the history of Kenya and say, here lie the ruins of a nation destroyed by greed.

As soon as you feel you're “tired of talking” and “it’s time for solutions”, that’s exactly where they want you. They want you jumping straight into “solutions” for problems you hardly understand.

This is how it will play out if these clowns actually follow through with the threat. They will fly in and continuously carpet bomb everywhere identified as a terrorist hideout, not distinguishing between innocent and criminals, or Christian from Muslim. Like Gaza, they will level major cities in the North into rubble. This will create a swarm of refugees that will overwhelm governance systems - assuming any national government infrastructure still exists. The ripple effects of these will spread across West Africa and even Southern Nigeria will become overwhelmed by an influx of people. After the bombing stops and the Americans move on, the real terrorists who would have hidden in the Sahel countries throughout will come back into what remains of Northern Nigeria and form strongholds and local governments. In a short time, the US govt will unofficially recognise these Muslim warlords as legitimate govts and start collaborating with them for mining and other local resource rights. And the rest of the world will forget all these started with saving Christians and move on.

I am going to breakdown the so-called Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes (Amendment) Act 2024/2025 and why I don’t support it because apparently using your Brains has became optional in this country. We can fight cybercrime without criminalizing speech. A short thread 🧵👇
