Yesterday on Citizen TV, something disturbing slipped past many people unnoticed.
Nakuru West MP Samuel Arama said something that should disturb every Kenyan who believes in fair institutions.
He says that this year, for the first time, he was denied TSC employment letters specifically because he is now opposing the government, while MPs aligned with the state continue to receive them. The same Arama who threatened to shoot protesters during the finance bill protests.
If this claim is true, then TSC, the sole employer of teachers, has crossed a dangerous line.
Employment has been turned into leverage.
Neutrality into currency.
But here is the deeper lesson many avoid:
Injustice is easiest to defend when it benefits us.
When the same system worked in his favour, there was silence.
Now that it punishes dissent, it is named.
This is why I keep saying, never defend injustice, even when it favours you. Systems you protect today will discipline you tomorrow.
A nation does not collapse in chaos.
It collapses when wrongdoing becomes normal.
Erastus Kanga’s misuse of power against Francis Awino highlights the lengths some will go to avoid accountability. Citizens must insist on transparency. #SaveKWS
Kenya’s institutions must be protected from conmanship and legal intimidation. Reforms cannot be held hostage by threats and manufactured pressure. #SaveKWS
Francis Awino’s commitment to exposing maladministration at KWS inspires citizens everywhere. Even in the face of intimidation, defending public interest remains non-negotiable. #SaveKWS
This man is only a conman, who cons CEOs that fall into his wiles and slides. But on KWS, the DG ako on point kabisa kuhakikisha the reforms are not just words, but a reality. #SaveKWS
I am convinced that ALL boda boda should be banned from the streets of ALL Kenya’s major cities and towns. No modern city should tolerate such chaos, illegality, terrible aesthetics, and indiscipline on its roads. Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE😢!!
I have a feeling that the CS remained in his job for the last 6 months for only 1 reason. To investigate who abducted his son. And I think the investigation is complete.
