Dozens were killed during protests in Kenya earlier this summer, with the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights accusing police of using excessive force and live rounds on mostly peaceful protesters. I asked Kenya’s President @WilliamsRuto about this – see his response.












The reported blocking of the TuKo Kadi concert team from accessing Uhuru Park, despite months of compliance with all required approvals, is deeply troubling. It reflects a worrying pattern of intolerance and state interference that undermines the freedoms of expression, assembly, and enterprise. When lawful, youth-driven initiatives are frustrated in this manner, it raises serious concerns about the direction we are taking as a country. We must remain vigilant. This moment calls for renewed civic awareness, sustained mobilization, and deliberate civic education, especially among our young people. If public events that follow due process can be arbitrarily blocked, then we must begin to ask hard questions about the fairness of our democratic space as we approach the next elections. Kenya must be a nation where rules are respected, opportunities are protected, and every voice is allowed to be heard.





Stop blaming the budget. Kigali runs on half of what Nairobi receives and it is spotless, organized and functional. The difference is not money. The difference is not resources. The difference is not infrastructure. The difference is us. We are corrupt. We are undisciplined. We litter, we bribe, we steal public funds, we elect thieves and then complain about the results of electing thieves. Nairobi is not a city that needs more money. Nairobi needs people who are ashamed of what they have allowed it to become. Until that day comes no amount of funding will fix what is fundamentally a character problem. 😐
