The fact that this is my current read of the week and it’s such a masterpiece is everything. I’m so glad I finally got a hold of it. Legendary Kenyan authors delivering in every short story here.
“In fact na dem white people colonise “ just because you can’t fathom the idea of people having preferences outside your ideal preferences, that’s the intolerance I’m talking about. You keep shitting on people’s cultures but expect the said people to treat you well, are you okay?
A few days ago I saw a Nigerian complaining that the rest of Africa is cosplaying Nigerian culture, today I see the same people complaining because we have a different palate to theirs. For people who love to “japa” to other people’s countries, y’all are so INTOLERANT.

If they put him as Deputy, we might actually fix Kenya. People are shocked that his county budget isn't running out, despite ranking #17 in county allocations. He’s just doing his job na hamuamini that shows you how much tunaibiwa.

An elected parlamentarian, sworn to office by the constitution, belittling the very same document that gives him any authority . . . Hii kiburi itaisha.

The Kwale Linda Mwananchi tour was done fibre by fibre to create one huge fabric. The tactics Edwin Sifuna used today were something I had never witnessed before. Instead of using highways and major markets for stopovers, he surprised us with a completely different approach.
He went village by village. In today's Kwale tour, he visited Msambweni Constituency, covering all four wards: Gombato Bongwe, Ukunda, Kinondo and Ramisi.
He then proceeded to Kinango Constituency, where he covered Ndavaya, Pangani, Mackinnon Road, Chengoni/Samburu, Kasemeni, Kinango and Mwavumbo.
What stood out to me was the emphasis on reaching people at the grassroots. This was not just about addressing crowds at major centres. It was about making direct connections with wananchi in their own villages.
The message behind this approach is clear: every ward, every village and every household matters. Political mobilisation cannot always be about waiting for people to come to you. Sometimes, you have to go looking for them.
Edwin Sifuna is demonstrating a different approach to grassroots political engagement, one village at a time.
That’s why grassroots campaigns are very important, he needs to do more of that, get to the most interior parts of Kenya. He will not only get new voters but also expose the marginalization.
The opening ceremony for the Youth Olympics in Senegal was everything! The display of their rich culture was just perfection. I hope our ministry of sports, culture etc come together to show the world our multiple cultural heritage when AFCON gets here. Don’t embarrass us please.
