I speak about the price we pay for corruption ad nauseum.
And my feeling is that a few people get it.
Most people primarily think about corruption in terms of money being siphoned out of government or citizens' pockets.
But there is another angle to this. An important angle.
I want to use an example of what is happening in Migori County.
@OAyacko is Governor.
Let's start with a phone number. 0720-307518
That phone number connects a web of shadowy "firms" that have "won" 13 contracts worth KSH 32.8 million from the county government in 2025-2026.
The issue is not winning. It is how they do it.
First, let's name the companies that present themselves as different companies.
They are:
(1) Mobichem Pharmacy;
(2) Boma Medicare; and
(3) Bispharm Enterprises.
But they are really one and the same. They share the same phone number.
Consider this fact pattern:
(1) Together they won, in 2025-2026, 13 county contracts worth KES 32.8 million between 2025 and 2026, from Migori.
By contract type: 13 goods. Most were for medical supplies and drugs; the largest single contract was KES 3.0 million.
(2) Two or more of them were listed as bidders on the same tender 15 times (one of them won 13; an outside firm won 2).
(3) On 4 of these tenders they were the only bidders listed.
(4) On 9 of them they were two of no more than three bidders listed.
Example: “Supply and Delivery of Assorted Human Medicine” (Migori County Government, 13 Feb 2025) — bidders included Bispharm Enterprises, Boma Medicare and Mobichem Pharmacy among 3 listed; won by Boma Medicare.
(5) On 4 occasions two or more of the firms won contracts from the same county on the same day.
How lucky are they?
— e.g. 11 Mar 2025 in Migori: Bispharm Enterprises and Mobichem Pharmacy (KES 4.7 million together).
Fellow Kenyans,
Have you ever seen this level of greed and corruption?
I want you to imagine yourself being an honest bidder in any of these tenders.
What are your chances of success, when two of these gangsters are winning 13 out of 15 attempts?
How is that even possible?
Two "firms" that are really one criminal syndicate - win 86% of the time.
On 4 occasions, two or more of them, win contracts from @MigoriCountyGov ON THE SAME DAY.
Take a look at the attached summary.
On February 13, three bidders participate in a tender to supply human medicine. Three belong to this syndicate. One of them wins.
On the same day, three bidders participate in another bid, to supply more medicine. Two belong to this syndicate. One of them wins.
Next day, February 14, 2025.
Three companies participate in a tender. Two of them are in this syndicate. One of them wins.
Same day, another tender. There are three bidders. Three of them are in this syndicate. One of them wins.
A week later, there is another tender. There are three bidders. Two of them belong to this syndicate. One of them wins.
On March 8, 2025, there is yet another tender. Three bidders participate. Two of them are from this syndicate. One of them wins.
Do you understand what this level of corruption and greed does to honest businesses?
When this type of corruption and greed dominates government, the loss is not just the money lost through inflated prices, which happens because there is no real competition. Honest businesses suffer because they thy lose out on economic opportunities.
These honest businesses cannot continue hiring young people, because they are not getting contracts.
This is how we end up with a country of 500 billionaires and 50 million beggars.
And it is the reason why we must change this country. Why we must throw every one of these bums in office out.
100% of them. Starting with @WilliamsRuto - then @Senate_KE and @NAssemblyKE - and all the way down to Governors such as @OAyacko and the county assemblies such as @MigoriAssembly
Only then can we hope that a newly constituted @EACCKenya and @ODPP_KE can grow teeth to start biting the heck out of these thieves.
Kenyans are tired of begging thieves to end corruption.
More to come.

One of the leading voices of pan-Africanism and anti-imperialism is being censored
Following @Spearhead_Af's nonsensical and unjustified TikTok account ban yesterday, our new TikTok account has also been banned for a "circumvention violation" which means that following a human review, TikTok has decided it doesn't ever want us on its platform again.
We've just been African Stream-ed.

Nothing beats getting a "Get Well Soon" card from the thugs who mugged you!
The potential economic & social payoffs from anti-corruption reforms are substantial & attainable. If Kenya improved its control of corruption, its economy could be over 13% points larger by 2035 compared to maintaining the status quo. #KenyaEconomicUpdate

THWAKE DAM PROTESTS: Police officers fired at peaceful Thwake Dam Blasting protesters, including elderly residents and children. They blocked access to the dam's main entrance where the protesters say was their final destination, with this footage capturing officers declaring they were “ready for war with the protestors”
WAR AGAINST WHO? Unarmed residents demanding justice for their damaged homes?
What threat do elderly people and children pose? Who authorised this response? What is the @MOWSI_KE Ministry of Water telling the affected community? Where does the @AfDB_Group African Development Bank stand?
When citizens demand accountability, why are they being met with threats of war instead of answers? WHO IS PROTECTING WHOM?
The protestors are demanding a nullification of the previous assessment exercise, investigations into any irregularities including the procurement process of the independent assessor and prosecution of those involved.

Le 9 octobre 2026, l’Union européenne a renouvelé ses sanctions à mon encontre. En cause: ma lutte pour la souveraineté africaine et l’éveil des consciences à travers des analyses géopolitiques, des conférences, des articles et des vidéos... Mon influence, disent-ils.
Ces sanctions sont prise sous le régime des ”activités déstabilisatrices de la Russie.” Qu’est-ce que cela a à voir avec la Russie, mystère et boule de gomme!
Je suis Suissesse et Africaine, je ne vivais pas dans un État-membre de l’UE, je n’ai jamais eu aucun avoir dans l’UE, le gouvernement suisse n’a pas repris les sanctions de l’UE à mon endroit, et pourtant, voici un aperçu de ce que je subis depuis le 26 juin 2025, date des sanctions initiales.
•Comptes bancaires gelés en Suisse.
•Comptes bancaires fermés en Suisse.
•Avoirs volés par Bank Cler en Suisse.
•Toutes les cartes de crédit désactivées.
•Compte Paypal fermé et argent volé. •Compte Binance fermé, argent séquestré.
•Compte Kraken fermé, argent séquestré.
•Comptes bancaires fermés en Afrique.
•Compte Airbnb fermé.
•Compte Amazon fermé.
•Compte Netflix fermé.
•Compte Stripe fermé.
•Compte Ebay fermé.
•Compte Wise fermé.
•Compte Booking fermé.
•Compte Spotify fermé.
•Tout ce qui se paie par carte de crédit, terminé.
•Cagnotte GoFundMe, fermée.
•Monétisation Facebook, YouTube, X, supprimée.
•Interdiction de survol du territoire de l’UE: les sanctions m’ont trouvée à l’étranger, je n’ai plus jamais pu regagner mon domicile en Suisse, qui est enclavée dans l’UE. Mon premier petit-enfant est né cette année, je n’ai toujours pas pu le voir. Ma mère a fêté ses 80 ans, je n’ai pas pu être avec elle. Elle va être opérée l’an prochain, je ne serai pas là pour l’assister.
•Interdiction d’entrer et de transit dans le territoire de l’UE (on s’en fout, sauf pour ce qui concerne les territoires ultra marins).
•Interdiction de fournir/recevoir des services de citoyens membres de l’UE: vous n’avez pas le droit de m’offrir une glace, de me vendre un livre ou de me donner un pain au chocolat.
•Expedia m’a laissée acheter des billets d’avion pour des trajets en dehors de l’UE, puis a refusé de les émettre et n’a jamais remboursé l’argent.
•Impossibilité de payer mon loyer (les banques suisses, bien que ne faisant pas partie de l’UE, refusent d’accepter ou d’exécuter des paiements pour des factures à mon nom, même si elles sont réglées par des tiers).
•Impossibilité de payer mon assurance maladie.
•Impossibilité de continuer un traitement médical.
•Impossibilité de payer mes avocats.
La liste n’est pas exhaustive.
Les ”nouveaux motifs” pour le renouvellement de mes sanctions sont:
•Le discours que j’ai prononcé au Sommet Russie-Afrique en 2019;
•Une vidéo sur l’opération Wuambushu à Mayotte datant de 2023;
•Ma nomination comme conseillère spéciale du président de la République du Niger, et le passeport diplomatique que j’ai reçu à cette occasion;
•Un tweet de 2025 dans lequel je critique l’Ukraine, ce pays voyou qui arme et entraîne les terroristes au Sahel, et torture ses propres citoyens comme on l’a vu récemment.
Et vous savez quoi?
Les sanctions sont administratives. Quand vous décidez d’exercer un recours devant le Tribubal de l’UE contre ces sanctions extrajudiciaires, cela prend plus d’un an avant d’aboutir à une audience.
Et quand, 2 à 3 mois après l’audience, le délibéré sort, même si le verdict est en votre faveur, cela n’a aucun impact, puisque l’UE a entre temps renouvelé vos sanctions dans un acte distinct, que vous devrez de nouveau attaquer…
Un châtiment à la Sisyphe.
Vive la démocratie et les valeurs européennes!
Ce que vous avez commencé, on va terminer.
Suspend their managers!

Kenya cannot have a revolution because the majority of our people are historically illiterate and philosophically ignorant. Our classrooms were designed to produce citizens who consume slogans. The history that was never taught is the history that binds us to poverty and oppression. The philosophy that was never taught is the philosophy that would have named the oppressors for what they are. The education system is not a failure. It is the instrument that keeps the majority inside the arrangements that were left for them.

I'm so tired of black women being used like this. First of all, we're not stupid and a-political that all we are is fiercely loyal to white liberals, no matter what. Two, the message here is that black people never vote issues, only identity. Three, they then use the 92-85 difference to make black women and men argue, so that they don't engage in class struggle.
And yes, I say "we" even though I'm on the continent, but this is the nonsense that Kenyans fight about up to even in marriage. Every time the US finds a formula to keep black people down, they had it over to their nyapara here to implement in Kenya. They've done this since the days of Booker T.
They have really stepped up criticism of issues that we have had for decades under their watch. This is not to deny but why now? I think it's an effort to dent their role in the odious debt accumulated with their help.

🔴 New Investigation: The son of an Israeli secret agent, Lyor Cohen is the most important man in hip hop having owned Def Jam music & Roc-A-Fella managing some of the most famous rappers & singers. With inordinate influence over the genre, he has made his views on Israel/Palestine clear, and has used his influence to stamp out what he sees as anti-semitism in the industry.
He is now head of YouTube Music, and is working with the U.S. State Department on a new program directly modeled on the CIA’s successful Cold War-era attempts to use American artists to help force through color revolutions in targeted countries.

I'm writing a lengthy analysis of CBC, and so many things are shocking me now more than they did earlier.
It is absolutely reckless for @KICDKenya to casually tell parents to use RIASEC psychometric tests on their Grade 9 children for career guidance. That's putting specialized tests in the hands of adults who are not professionally trained to use them, and worse, to use them on their children. That is a lawsuit for mental health injury waiting to happen some years down the road.
But also, we live in a world where people are too exposed to amateur self-psychoanalysis that is making people excessively self-conscious and emotionally unstable. To entrench that trend in the education system is completely reckless.
Trained Kenyan psychologists should have called for its removal from CBC, but we know what they'll do instead. They'll lobby KICD to make professional consultation for psychometrics mandatory, adding to the cost of education. And to risk of quack diagnosis.
This country is a crime scene. But like other crimes in Kenya, #CBCisheretostay.

World Bank is scared of the odious debt discussion. With regime changes world over, they are trying to get ahead of the narrative to ensure they give Kenyans a new target ( the corrupt leaders) so that they are exonorated and Kenya still pays their odious debt.
Conducting elections, counting votes and announcing results is such an easy activity and yet that is where foreigners are jostling to provide "help"!
Life will always be kind to David Hundeyin, the spearhead team, Biggest Mck, GST and some other investigative journalists and Pan Africanists.
That risks everything, put in so much work to enlighten and raise the awareness of so many Nigerians on so many areas, especially on where our problems we face as Africans really comes from.
Even though there are millions of brain-dead ignorant human beings roaming about in this nation that have been perpetually cursed to wallow in their ignorance till they depart from this cosmos.
They're the ones who oppose these truths even when it's right there in plain sight for all to see.

You’re looking to secure trade investments and you decided to talk to the opposition in government and not the ruling party?
It’s looking like Nkrumah all over again. The US remains Africa’s biggest threat to development.

Angola & Tanzania Circumvent Western-Backed Railway with China’s Help
On October 28, 2026, Angolan President João Lourenço was warmly received by his Tanzanian counterpart Samia Suluhu Hassan. During this working visit, President Hassan announced that her country would be cooperating with Angola to connect their ocean ports by rail, with support from China. The move is part of a wider, China-backed effort to link Africa, via the Indian Ocean, to Asia and its win-win trade opportunities.
Compare this to the US and EU-funded Lobito Corridor, which links Angola, the DRC and Zambia to the Atlantic Ocean, cutting through 1,300km of rainforest and carefully avoiding any major population centres along the way, as it carts African resources off to the West.
