The longer I live and interact with the Government of Kenya in various ways, the more I see how retrogressive this entity is 😰😨😩
Zero interest and intention in improving the overall conditions of this country and its people.
I hate it here.

Instead focus is on sideshows like an expensive friendly at debt-filled Talanta Stadium.

A student-led list has won Serbia’s elections by a convincing majority, ousting the country’s most powerful politician.
Former President Aleksandar Vucic moves into opposition after 14 years, as university professors begin the hard work of rebuilding state institutions.

Everyone needs to know what actually happened in Serbia.
Instead of students just protest against their government, the students organized themselves into a student list and ran in elections against their government—and they have just won.
Dear Serbia, congratulations on your victory; you have just opened a new door in protesting. This is history

The lesson here is that Parliamentary elections matter just as much as Presidential ones. Presidents struggle to govern in divided houses. Voting for your MP, Senator and MCA will matter, perhaps even more than your presidential candidate. Food for thought.

Good to see some of the reactions to Serbia and Brazil: that it takes dedicated organising to win an election. What will it take to change a system? To fix an economy? To challenge a deeply unfair global (dis)order? To renew a social commitment to the values Kenyans agreed represent them? Just as important, who will it take beyond politicians for this to happen? Kenya is in an argument between its past and its future - how it goes depends on who shows up to argue.

Dear civic institutions (including religious institutions, chamas, sports clubs, running clubs, clubs 😅), you don’t need some big donor funding programme to raise awareness on ongoing continuous voter registration.
Why is this work being left to politicos?

Many of us claim to want the liberation of women, but only if said women act and behave exactly like we want them to. God forbid women make choices that don’t align with our vision of womanhood; then we hurl all sorts of insults towards them. Surely there has to be a better way.

Do we talk enough about burnout in dysfunctional countries?
The fatigue that comes from working in bare-minimum facilities and watching mediocrity being routinely rewarded.
The near-despair that comes from endlessly documenting waywardness that never meets with consequences.😮💨
