#Hustlernation is built on trauma which Kenyans don't want to deal with.
And it's really interesting that when Kenyans talk about the hustle, they equate it not to the work they do, but to a rich man.
The kind of trauma that makes you suppress your own story and focus on someone else's is the stuff of fiction. #hustlernation

Kenyans are so exploited. And every time we try to talk about it, we're told the problem is "policy," or that we're not following the rules.
The people who should be helping us are unions. But what is @AtwoliDza doing? Promoting the agenda of exploiters. #hustlernation

This video was shot in 2009 shortly after the #GoK forcefully evicted Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from the 2007/2008 Post Election Violence (PEV) from the main camps and hid them in satellite camps away from local and international media glare.

In the last financial year, Kenya paid Kshs 437b as interest on public debt.
Of this amount KShs 315b was spent on domestic debt service while Kshs 122b was spent on foreign debt service.

This despite 3.2T of public debt being domestic while 3.5T is foreign.
So 25% of our tax collection goes towards debt service.
We pay more money to service public debt than we give to counties for development.

Mali Coup, a thread:
African leaders drafted for themselves a Constitution that bans coups or if you wish to call it military take-over of power. They did it so that they stay in power for as long as they want, even against the wishes of the people.

That #Covid19Millionaires report is what @RookieKE calls mshangao reporting. I don't think we are helped by being told about the size and immorality of corruption. All we do is feel helpless, especially when the people in charge are saying the cartels are big but wont name them.
If theft is so deeply embedded in the Kenyan state, and international bodies like @WorldBank @EUinKenya are sending more money knowing it will be swindled anyway, but we Kenyans will pay back the money with interest, then we have to ask ourselves: "what is Kenya for?"
To call ourselves citizens is a contradiction. Kenyans are enslaved people. Our role is to provide labor and resources for international rackets between the corrupt US and UK governments and corporations and their Kenyan puppets.

The other white pathology narrative that has confused Kenyan elites is that annoying word called "privilege."
Here goes the thread.
That story of 'privilege" makes our every day life sound like we walk around with tickets which we use to open doors.

It's like I go to an office and there's a check list:
"White? No.
Male? No.
Upper class? No.
Educated in the Roman imperial system? Yes.
Here's your place."
So you find people saying stuff like "your male privilege," "your elite privilege," "your American privilege."
"White? No.

So you find people saying stuff like "your male privilege," "your elite privilege," "your American privilege."
But that is not how race, tribe, class and gender work. They work from loyalties, not access. So, for example, white people are asked to be loyal to the imperial aristocracy by virtue of being the same skin color as the aristocrats.

For the longest time, the British were frustrated by the Kamba. Like the Giriama, the Kamba didn't enter the cash economy. They used cattle as a medium of exchange for food, dowry and other transactions.
The colonialists came up with a plan. Destocking. #politicaleducationKE
The colonialists came up with a plan. Destocking. #politicaleducationKE
The colonialist claimed that the Kamba had too many cattle. But more than that, in 1938, the colonial governor wrote an order commanding the Kamba to give up their cattle to a slaughter house in Athi River called Liebigs. And the Machakos DC was going to get a cut.
The order was brutal. In places like Kangundo, people were losing up to 90% of their stock. So the Kamba mobilized people to resist the order, and held a six-month sit-in to protest. The British pulled back the order because they were afraid that the struggle would turn violent.
