Why are politicians spending more on campaigns than they will earn in salaries over an entire 5 year term? Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why? How exactly do you think they intend to recover that money once elected? People still wonder why corruption is so deeply entrenched in our politics.

Discussing Kenya’s political landscape with my Gen Z daughter, she tells me: “Mum, you folks still don’t get it. Your generation waited for politicians to organise the people. Ours expects the people to organise the politicians.”
Same country. Different political software.

Mjiulize kama you are ready to see another generation get wasted by corruption and mismanagement of resources by greedy politicians. Mko tayari kuona your kids struggle with unemployment like you, to a point of moving to dangerous countries. This is not just an election, it FUTURE.

The conversation is getting tired. Stop wasting time drafting contracts and make 15s rugby as financially rewarding and commercially attractive as 7s.
Not everyone is playing purely for the love of the game, and there’s nothing wrong with that. If you love the game so much, build structures that make it sustainable for the people playing it. As things stand, rugby in Kenya is a foundational stepping stone to whatever path players eventually choose to take. We need to make it a destination, not just a stepping stone.
For a contract to have that much autonomy over a sportsman’s life is to dictate his destination. If you’re going to tie someone down and take away their freedom to choose their own path, then you have a responsibility to compensate them for the journey you’re demanding they take. You cannot demand someone’s future without investing in it.

What Riggy G forgot to say is that we also cannot afford to be led by a coward, especially after the events of 2024. There’s no way the youths who braved live bullets to occupy Parliament can be led by one!

Kenyan podcasters & YouTubers who position themselves as the alternative to mainstream media cannot have it both ways. When @johnallannamu challenges some of them on ethics and accountability, the defence suddenly becomes that they aren’t journalists.
Fair enough, podcasting…

Imagine your kids are starving with no clothes, and as a father you buy a 65-inch TV so they can watch Cocomelon in HD.
That's exactly what this government is doing.

This is the real William Ruto, and if you think you can afford another 5 years under his rule, think twice.
Kenya can't afford another William Ruto reign. Imetosha.
“William Ruto is worse than Moi.”

Apparently, in Kenya, you must first spend 30 years disappointing people before you're qualified to lead them. A newcomer with fresh ideas is considered inexperienced, while a veteran with a record of failure is called a statesman. What a system! 😂

A lot of men have tried to give a woman the life she never had, only to discover why nobody else could give it to her.
Sometimes, the problem was never the men before you.

Imagine working your entire life to pay taxes that make politicians, their families and their close associates billionaires while you struggle to afford basic necessities. Then, to make matters worse, you defend these same politicians online for free. As a young person, what exactly are you protecting? If a politician has a questionable record and nothing meaningful to show for their time in office, stop worshipping them. You are a citizen, not a political employee. Demand better!
