Meanwhile back at the ranch 🤦🏾‍♀️

At some point, motorists and road users need to effect a class-action suit against the orangutans running @KeNHAKenya at Barabara Plaza. The contractors should be equally sued as accessories to murder and all instances of attempted murders. This is a premeditated death trap.

Over the weekend, The Matatu Musical took center stage a bold and unflinching political satire tracing Kenya’s history with striking honesty. Written by George “Ndetch” Ndiritu, the play centres the defiant spirit of Kenyans a people who have consistently resisted oppression in all its forms. It deliberately elevates women, reclaiming voices and roles too often erased from our historical narratives. This was more than a performance; it was an intergenerational conversation. The story journeyed from the pre-colonial era through the struggle for independence, into the Kenyatta and Moi years, confronting the horrors of the Nyayo House Torture Chambers. At its core, the production highlighted women as the fuel of the struggle from Mekatilili wa Menza and Muthoni Nyanjiru, to Wangari Maathai and the Release Political Prisoners (RPP) women at Freedom Corner, and all the way to our Gen Z girlies in crop tops and hijabs, standing side by side in the anti–Finance Bill protests. The narrative carried us into the hope of the 2002 elections before culminating in the painful reckoning of the 2007/2008 post-election violence. In doing so, it delivered a sobering message to young people: the fight for justice, good governance, and a corruption-free state did not begin yesterday. It is a long, costly struggle borne on the backs of many who came before us. Gratitude to @nisisikenya and @Pawa254 for sponsoring the event and creating space for this necessary dialogue. This is a conversation that must be taken to every county across the country. #MatatuMusical

.@HEBobiwine and Barbra, sorry for all you’ve been through. Your determination to free Uganda of tyranny and the murderous regime of Museveni is not in vain. He will not live forever, he is on his way out. Freedom is in the air. Stay strong. Stay safe! Ugandans, do not relent!

Members of the Keekonyokie community invited me into their homes to narrate how hired goons, escorted by police, have been terrorizing them in an attempt to evict them from their land. Here are highlights from some of the people I spoke to. I will be sharing their full stories over the coming week. #BongaNaBonnie

Today, January 18th, marks exactly one year since Brian Odhiambo was seen arrested, beaten senselessly and thrown into a waiting @KWSKenya vehicle at Lake Nakuru National Park, never to be seen again. When the 6 rangers who were present during this incident were arrested and presented in court, @KWSKenya gave out their lawyer to defend the suspects meaning they chose to stand with the suspects instead of the victim’s family. To date Brian Odhiambo and his family have not received justice despite a prolonged court case in which witnesses testified seeing the body of Brian in a KWS truck with one of the officers saying Brian was dead after checking his pulse. Justice has remained elusive, the family continues to struggle. The children are orphaned and the wife widowed. The cabinet secretary in charge of KWS remains @rebecca_miano. What has she done to ensure justice is done? #JusticeForBrianOdhiambo

Kenyans deserve to know the truth. You are being trapped under the armpits of Odious debts which will make you slaves forever. The so called NYOTA FUND is an Odious debt which has already been looted and the little remaining is what is being distributed. This clip is only two minutes long and it will save your life. #DeniBandia #RutoMustGo

"The era of silent diplomacy is over." Ahead of tomorrow's polls, documents reveal a systematic dismantling of democracy in Uganda. From polling stations placed inside military barracks to the "militarization" of the judiciary, the 2026 election is being labeled a sham. We stand in solidarity with the people of Uganda as they face state-sponsored terrorism and internet blackouts.

Please, know that there is a massive organ trafficking in Kenya, and they traffickers have gone ham on kids. Kids are disappearing at a faster rate, 3 months to 5 years, and they are never found. Don't let your kid out of sight while in malls, or even in residential areas. Don't let your kids go outside the gate unsupervised. On Christmas Day, 3 kids disappeared from Garden City Mall... It was full with so many humans. One of the parents had to mount a public address to beg for whoever saw her daughter. Nothing. Yesterday, I received a report of 4 kids missing from Mathare Area 4. And if you go to Mathare (Kwa Chifu), over 50 photos of missing kids are mounted on the walls.

His name is Jack Deon Maloba, 23 years old. He was arrested and checked in at Kawangware police post, Nairobi on Thursday 11th December 2025 around 7pm in the evening. About 4 hours later, he was dead and taken to City Mortuary where the body was booked in at 10.50pm. Police say that Jack committed suicide by hanging himself using a shirt. Even a grade three can tell you that the marks on his neck are marks of a wire. His clothes are intact and that even leads to more questions. Where is the cloth being said he hanged himself with? This is a case of extrajudicial killings and we demand #JusticeForJackDeon

Play this song on repeat as William Ruto enters the stadium. If this administration did not learn anything in 2025 after the two deadly anti-government protests, then expect more athletic compliance with Chapter 37 of the Kenyan constitution next year.

Europeans take away over $500B from Africa every year and still have the audacity to call Africans poor. Africa will one day unite and European economies will collapse.
