LA, Ngong, Ruaka and other satellite towns are full of them.
When you see some lazy, jobless, aimless but ageing X-geners in Loresho, Kilimani, and Woodley in clubs drinking alcohol and smoking,
Just know these are children from families of former prominent politicians and businessmen who made a fortune during Jomo Kenyatta's regime.
These old-aged children are either waiting for their frail parents to die or plotting to eliminate them so that they can take these properties and sell them.
They speak some funny Sheng,
For example, you will hear a 60-year-old man saying,
"You guy, si you chomaa some nyakee we feast, I like kulaing' fresh tanyes and touching some kubwa tanyez"

Pèp ayisyen,
Nou prèske fin deplwaye sòlda nou yo ak ekipman nou yo sou tè Ayiti. Sa a se pa yon operasyon kont pèp ayisyen an, ni yon envazyon peyi Ayiti. Nou pa yon gwo pisans. Nou pa gen okenn enterè ni pou nou vin domine pèp ayisyen an, ni pou nou mete men sou richès Ayiti.
Nou se yon peyi modès k ap devlope. Sèl sa nou vle, se pou kat teknisyen avyasyon nou yo tounen lakay yo. Epi n ap bay gang yo yon leson, gang sa yo k ap fè pèp ayisyen an soufri, ki touye moun pèp la renmen yo, k ap anpeche l viv yon lavi nòmal, lib, san laperèz.
Se prèske nou menm sèl k ap peye pou operasyon sa a. Menmsi nou resevwa yon ti èd lojistik nan men kèk lòt peyi, se ak pwòp ti kès nou n ap kouvri 90% nan depans yo.
Sa koute nou chè, men nou te aprann nan pwòp soufrans nou: jistis ak lapè pa gen pri. Nou te pase nan menm soufrans Ayiti ap travèse jodi a. Nou te viv yon beny san ki te pi terib toujou pase sa pèp ayisyen an ap sibi kounye a. Nou konnen sa sa vle di: viv nan laperèz, pa fè politisyen konfyans, pa kwè okenn moun ki pwomèt l ap ede w. Paske pèsonn pa t vin ede nou, e moun ki te vini yo pa t gen bon entansyon nan kè yo.
Men nou te rive chape anba sa. Apre 200 lane soufrans, finalman n ap viv nan lapè, e jodi a nou se peyi ki gen plis sekirite sou kontinan an.
Nou pa vin ann Ayiti pou nou touche lajan, paske pèsonn pa peye nou pou sa. Nou vin ann Ayiti pou nou goumen kont mechan yo.
Men sa m ap mande nou: fè nou konfyans, lapriyè sèl vrè Bondye a, epi mande L pou L geri Ayiti.
“Lè sa a si pèp ki pote non m lan lapriyè nan pye m, si yo soumèt devan mwen, si yo pran chache m ankò, si yo vire do bay vye peche yo t'ap fè yo, m'ap tande yo nan syèl kote m ye a, m'ap padonnen peche yo, m'ap fè peyi a kanpe ankò.”
2 Kwonik 7:14
Ede nou ede Ayiti.
Epi lè misyon nou an fini, n ap tounen lakay nou. Petèt jenerasyon Ayisyen k ap vini yo ap sonje nou kòm zanmi ki te vin ede yon lè.

DCI Welcomes Conviction of Paul Mackenzie and 28 Co-Accused in Shakahola Massacre
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) welcomes the landmark judgment delivered today by the Mombasa High Court, in which Lady Justice Diana Kavedza- Mochache convicted controversial preacher Paul Nthenge Mackenzie and 28 co-accused over the deaths of 191 people, including 190 children, in the Shakahola massacre in Kilifi County.
In her judgment, Justice Kavedza found that the deaths resulted from an organised system in which religious teachings and a structured hierarchy were used to direct and enforce deadly fasting. Followers were instructed to relocate to Shakahola, where fasting was imposed in stages, beginning with children. Guards allegedly prevented followers from escaping the deadly practice.
The conviction follows an extensive investigation and prosecution supported by evidence from 123 witnesses, including child victims. The evidence was further corroborated by digital recordings, forensic and medical reports, DNA analysis, physical exhibits and expert testimony. Crime scene investigations also documented bodies exhumed from homesteads and mass graves.
Medical evidence established that 76 of the victims died from starvation, among other causes of death established through 190 postmortem examinations.
The court further found that Good News International Church, founded by Mackenzie in 2010, operated as a cult. The church reportedly preached the imminent end of the world, discouraged access to medicine and education, isolated followers and promoted extreme fasting as a means of attaining heaven.
In acknowledging the DCI's role, the court commended investigators for their meticulous work in scene documentation, exhumations, forensic pathology and evidence preservation. It noted that these efforts laid a firm foundation for the administration of justice.
The DCI welcomes the judgment as a significant milestone in the pursuit of justice for the victims and their families, underscoring the importance of thorough investigations, forensic expertise and evidence-led prosecutions in holding those responsible for serious crimes accountable.
