If an MP accuses a Bishop of using 'dark' powers, and having many children out of wedlock, is this not a case of black pot shaming a black kettle?
What are dark powers? Does he himself use white powers and so he is superior or nearer the truth than the bishop?
So where is that truth located? Can he share his white power with us since he is truthful?

Why is Wanjeri wa Kinyua the owner of Hillside Endarasha Academy not sending condolences or explaining herself?

07/09/2024

Why is the media hesitant to name the ownership of the tragedy - hit Hillside Endarasha Academy?
Is this school owned by angels from Heaven or by the Kieni ghosts? To fail to name the owners of this school is equal to being complicit to a conspiracy to defeat justice and fairness.
If you work in the media either as a reporter, editor, proof reader, machine operator, cameraman, sales man or sweeper and you fail to push for the naming of the owner you are a ....
Otherwise why is the owner unnameable?
Bure yote.

Hillside Endarasha Academy toddlers lived in death trap of highly inflammable wooden dorm adjoining a kitchen in a dry area where temperatures reach 30 degrees, where strong winds blow all the night and day even carrying tents and clothes high in the skies.
The Ministry of Education inspectors visit the schools looking big and talking tough on standards of safety.
Does it mean that Hillside Academy Endarasha is exempt from those rules?
The inspectorate subverted and urinated on the same rules the public pays them to enforce. Why should they go scot free? Why?
Why should they while they knew and had seen for days and weeks and months that the children were situationally exposed?
Why are they paid? For what?
The Hillside Endarasha Academy management ran away leaving no watchman, no teacher, no security man, no education official to answer questions of traumatized parents. Just like they had left children on their own at night, they left parents on their own when they needed them most.
What is their level of disaster preparedness?
Have they really followed the Ministry school safety guidelines? If so, why did they not even have a desk to give or receive information and offer basic help in view of the crisis? Why?
Both the school and the inspectorate were so complicit and completely desensitized on the weather of Kieni in relation to risks of fire to a point of criminality.
Even as this disaster raises demands for efficient emergency mitigation strategies, the Hillside management should be held accountable for catastrophising an already bad situation by abandoning parents.
When they were enrolling their children the management welcomed them to a cup of tea, soda, cakes and PR stories.
But when disaster struck they were left on their own. Why?

When buildings collapse their owners are the first to be arrested. When children die in dorm inferno the owner is not even named.

If you borrow Ksh 100 airtime from Safaricom but you sooner than later add airtime for Ksh 300, I guess you have a total of Ksh 400 worth of airtime.
Safaricom tells you they have taken Ksh 100 to recover their debt. So do you ever know how much of the Ksh 100 you had used? Computation needed here. Isn't it?

LET KENYANS TALK TO MINIMIZE STRIKES WITHOUT COTU & ATWOLI

Can Kenyans negotiate to avert strikes? It is a fact that trade unionism went to the dogs ages ago, courtesy of Francis Atwoli and complicit general secretaries of the 40 or so unions.
Kenyans should therefore not look up to Atwoli & Co for help.
What is the role of COTU if it cannot stabilize negotiations?
COTU sacrificed tripartism and traded it with political opportunism for personal gain. It also became a closed entity and a workshop for crafting and executing tribal strategies.
COTU lowered the standards of trade union practice to zero.
As a result when Kenyans raised issues of wealth disparity, captive MPs, corruption and taxation, COTU was nowhere to be heard although these were core concerns to workers.
As a result individual unions issue strike notices the labor center has no advisory role. It cannot help unions neither can it help the govt as it lost moral authority and the mechanism to express concerns of workers.
Kenyan employers and progressive unions should rethink how to move forward without many of the existing labor unions and that is nothing short of negotiation.
Yes, Kenyans can avert strikes. Why not?
Francis Atwoli bure kabisa.

BOY CHILD THE NEW GOLD IN KIKUYU LAND
The outfit called Kiama Kia Ma and other similar gatherings talk about the boy child once a year. Not twice, only once in 365 days.
And that time comes during circumcision season.
After that they go silent until the following year when they come out carrying walking sticks, wearing skins and talking loudly for all to hear about culture like they have just discovered it's value.
The agenda of the boy child going hungry, out of school, swamped by drugs and alcohol, killed during protests is nothing to Kiama Kia Ma. Boy child is only relevant when it comes to circumcision.
The ACK and PCEA churches have been quarreling with Kiama Kia Ma over circumcision of boys.
But note; it is not circumcision per se. The interest lies in money. Greed for money.
The interest is not in the boy, not in his life, not in his plight. The interest of these greedy men lies solely in money. This has been so since the boy child became the new gold in Central Kenya.
The network of men discovered how to manipulate the community to make a living.
For Heaven's sake they should show interest in the life of the boy child beyond circumcision fees they collect. They should even pay for some few boys who cannot afford but need circumcision.
If not Kiama Kia Ma is just a convocation of greedy, manipulative and self seeking Kikuyu men. It is a commercial outfit and the wrong one to defend culture.

Jimmy Wanjigi saga is framed to overshadow and kill real issues to do with Kenya's ailments.
Anybody worth Sh 1.2 billion has fears.
Gen Zs raised the real and genuine concerns affecting Kenyans.
Focus on those concerns, forget Wanjigis political hubris.

Leaders think the US is their friend. Yes, to the extent you facilitate their economic interests. Now they are telling Ruto: ' We are watching you'.

07/08/2024

The Cabinet is a national shame. Individuals whose wealth multiplied magically yet they want govt jobs populate President Ruto:s Cabinet. You do not need any other way to give a nod to corruption. This clearly says that there are no consequences for corruption suspects or convicts. It is business as usual.

The wealth declaration by Cabinet nominees is very irritating and a slap on the face of freedom fighters and Gen Zs.

05/08/2024

On their own admission, Cabinet nominees and their families alone have net worth equivalent to Kenya's annual budget.
Yet they are the ones getting the jobs. What is the whole exercise telling the poorest at Toi Market, Gikomba, Kawangware? What is it telling the Gen Zs?
'You can protest, jump, run but nothing will change.' It is the message. What else can it be?

A thuggish water company called Runjuwasco billing residents at Ksh 400,000 per house.
What is the role of water company? It is water supply or thuggery in guise of water supply?
Even if individuals challenge the bills and are rectified, what guarantee do we have that other bills are not inflated?
These companies are taking advantage of the country preoccupation with political chaos and other distractions to rob people.
Rujuwasco should not be anywhere near provision of public services. Ruiru residents should learn from Gen Z and occupy Rujuwasco.

Let the CSs vetting committee of Parliament stop fooling us, that a CSs appointees are also the best business people in Kenya, so good that they grow at the rate of Ksh 130m in six months.
Why then do they want CS:s jobs if they can multiply wealth faster than any economy? Why does the Govt not appoint them to Wealth Creation Dream Team since the bottom line is to create wealth? Why is Kenya poor?
Are Kenyans to be taken for granted this way?
Bure kabisa.

02/08/2024

The current vetting is useless.
It is too routine just to confirm CSs as appointed
It adds no value say one's wealth has increased.
What business did they do?
MPs are simply rubber stamping the Executive's choices.

US AMBASSADOR'S UNSOLICITED ADVICE

Who tells the US ambassador that Kenyans are children or her slaves, to be tutored on how to vet CSs?

A case of idle diplomats looking for relevance. No wonder diplomats are selected on the basis of loyalty, not credentials.
Bure kabisa.
