Highly unserious fellows.
Mara ooo Finance Bill.
Then ooo Ojwang (long forgotten already. They didn't even care about him to begin with. He was just a stalking horse. Iyo tu.)
Then ooo Saba Saba. Most of them don't even know what saba saba is!
Then next time ooo (jijazie).
Zero focus. Zero agenda. Zero goals beyond Pablum.
Ruto must go is a hopeless empty shibboleth.
Much like "soprano" and "Wantam."
Amekataa. Watado?
I said it before. If Gen-z's were serious fellows, they would have formed a political party and pursued political power in a CIVILISED MANNER like any other group of people does in a FUNCTIONING DEMOCRACY that let's them insult all political players and make noise 24/7 about everything and anything under the sun. But of course they can't do that because an agenda is requisite for the formation of a political party na agenda yao hakuna. Kazi ni kupoteza wakati potuluuu rioting for zero.
What does denying mama mbogas and stall owner lumpens their daily bread accomplish? Zero
Burning tyres on the streets? Zero except destruction.
Throwing stones? Zero
Shutting down all major towns? Zero
Ruto must go? Bado ako hapo hapo tu.
Total achievement; zero bin zero + destruction of the lumpen businesses + opportunity cost of daily bread for casuals who will suffer the most!
Isasadthing.
After wasting time tululuu on the streets today warudi nyumbani wakunywe maziwa ya mama na kesho asubuhi na mapema the rest of us civilized people - many of whom are 100% apolitical - will go on with our merry lives.
Ni hayo tu.

So the 10:30AM deadline they were talking about was empty fitina? Apparently delusional Gen Z thought they had a watertight plan to overthrow the Government by 10:30AM. It was 100% foolproof plan backed-by Wamunyoro strategists, according to senior planners. The goal of this plan, according to folks privy to the matter was to derail Gava effective plans like housing, Universal Healthcare, Agriculture etc and weaken Kenya's economy beyond repair, paralyze tourism etc that by 2027 or before then, Kenya would be in shambles with hopes of UN interveneing and asking President to resign. Intelligence also have it that going forward, the cartel would install GEMA president and make him lifetime President IF they succeed. Delusion of the highest order! Goon Z don't kmow what in the surface that is why they are disjointed. They are being used by the crooks that want to derail Kenya's transformation. The west cartels, too, don't like to see prosperous Kenya or any African country rising economically the way Kenya is poised to 5-10 years from now.

Blah blah blah.
The Gen Ziis are saying they have all the time to waste. Ruto does not. He has to pay salaries and debt.
Gen Ziis have unlocked the missing accountability key- what happens between elections. We have let political thugs eat in peace. Not anymore.

I have never understood it. Destroy your country with violence, looting and burning in the name of wanting regime change that doesn't come
You can't make this stuff up!
The Sudanese tried it recently and are now one endless war-zone
The Somalians tried it and have had no functioning government since 1991 That's a whopping 34 YEARS!
The wars all across failed states in Africa are a dime a dozen.
Tis very myopic to use the clueless Gen-z's to destroy a country in the name of regime change.
What is even more surprising is that thinking human beings and intellectuals are supporting this violence, looting and anarchy that accomplishes zero!
This has never happened in our post-independence history.
Kwiinyans who have lived in war torn countries will tell these Gen'zs and their supporters for free; you don't want to live in a warzone. In a war zone there is no talking and debating and insulting. Bodies will drop like stones daily and things like businesses, going to work, farming, getting electricity, petrol, unga, water and so on disappear 100%. Where will they run to when this happens? Uganda? DRC? Somalia? Uganda?
Peace above all should be the rallying cry for any SANE citizen.
Better a peaceful country with a president you don't like than a country ruled by AK-47 toting warlords in Landcruisers as is currently the case in Somalia, Sudan, Libya and many more!

This is laughable.
How have they kept anything accountable? Unless you mean accountability ya zero? Gava policies rage on unabated.
What they HAVE done is destroyed businesses, FDI, employment, social stability and Kenya's image as an island of peace worldwide. Tourism, for example; one of our highest forex income earners, will crater, if these protests continue. Which basically means they are destroying THEIR OWN FUTURE.
Isitoshe, the funny part is, you and your Genz's are not telling us what comes next after your adulterous lust for regime change ever happens.
Gen-z leadership? Would YOU want to be ruled by thugs like these violent stone-throwing, tyre-burning youngsters?
On debt and salaries. Who do you think is paying for the former and earning the latter?
Is it not the Gen-z's, their parents, grandparents, sisters, you and I? Saying that Ruto is going to suffer to pay both is like saying the driver of your bus will suffer if you light a huge fire in the bus you are sitting in that razes it to ashes as it speeds along!
Isacomedy! Someone who thinks that way needs their head examined post-haste!
As I said, Gen-z's waende nyumbani wakanyonye maziwa ya mama leo usiku. Kesho asubuhi na mapema the rest of the 50+ million Kenyans will wake up and get on with building their lives in peace.

The looting mbirioneas never tell us what next except looting till death. Better wake up time for ndombolo in scorching sun as they vomit on the poor is getting over. Bado hawajashout destroying the country!
Away from echo chambers volume.
National Treasury’s revenue targets from the Finance Bill for the year starting July have been cut by 91 percent or Sh314 billion after the State opted not to impose significant new taxes or increase existing ones in budget proposals.
The Finance Bill, 2025, is expected to yield Sh30 billion in revenues, a far cry from the aggressive new revenue measures in 2024 when deadly protests broke out against the government’s measures to raise revenue.

This is even more comedic.
Are you celebrating reduced budgetary allocations for every and all things including revenues for debt repayment and teacher's salaries?
How does looting and burning and killing tourism and FDI and ordinary tax-paying businesses help matters?
How will we pay the national debt? Will you and your Genz's celebrate when Kwiinya defaults on the same?
I kifup!

Slaves should not riot the plantations will collapse. Why are African Americans celebrating civil war? It is comedy!
Mau mau na panga hawezi fanya kitu mzungu ako na mbomu. We are civilized, we have the bible and can talk English. Mau Mau is disrupting. Issa myth.

Hapa Gen Ziis were in lower primary as the looting thugs were counting mbirionis.
Now the righteous looters are laundering trillions and Gen Ziis are asking for the formular and mentorship!
Kenya’s financial intelligence unit received filings of Sh6.976 trillion flagged as suspicious financial transactions over a three-year period to 2023, a newly published report shows.
The Financial Reporting Centre (FRC) Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Trends and Typologies Report 2025 outlines how massive amounts of suspicious money moved through the financial sector, with banks handling Sh6.38 trillion or 91.04 percent of the money.

The level of comedy is so hilarious that they are "fighting corruption" by engaging in the corruption of looting homes, shops, stoning cars in an irony of clownish proportions!
Pray tell how does one claim to be fighting corruption by being corrupt?
This is the level of reasoning that is the lot of the riotous Gen-z's and their benefactors!

You cannot make this stuff up. They are 100% more corrupt than the Gava they claim is dirty. Mind you, media cannot find a scandal in this government going 2 years now. They thought 1.2 billion church at statehouse was it until it emerged mere 50 million will be used to renovate a dilapidated chapel that is almost falling apart. John Mbadi look at Treasury records and gave it a clean bill of health yet he was on the other side a year later screaming 'corruption'. Ruto administration is clean kushinda pamba compared to the previous administrations!

Ruto lost the chance to choose between going after state capture two dynasties or having these mirioni urban/rural slum rats running us over.
They have tasted blood and are getting emboldened.

Nothing. They are getting jailed in droves and wasting their family's wealth in cash bail. In the meantime Okuyu Businesses are getting decimated. In coast, RV, Nyanza, North and most counties, pro Government Gen zs are guarding businesses and castrating the few that have violent proclivities

Echo volume. Cash bail is returned. These frivolous cases are thrown out every day. There is no Okuyu business as such in interconnected economy. The buses and matatus from all over Kenya did not pick cheap Chinese merchandise from Nyamakima.

To you, everything goes through Kikuyus blah blah, when Nairobi is totally shut down, it’s only the Kikuyus who suffer? When tourism collapses, which is going to happen, only Kikuyus will suffer? When Transport is completely paralyzed, it’s only for Kikuyus? When foreigners start running away, do they only buy from Kikuyus? How can you live in a global economy and still have Mavi for brains? The economy is so interconnected that even eastleigh Somalis depend on other tribes for their businesses. The fact is, change is coming, good governance and the tears are everywhere in Kenya. The people asking for this change do not even like Gachagua so stop mentioning his name, he is destroying Kasongo from a different angle, among the elderly and villagers who believed in the old way of getting things accomplished with corruption, handouts and other shenanigans.

When 6kg Gas was 1500 they were quiet. Now it's 1100 they're singing #RutoMustGo.
When 1L cooking oil was 400 they were quiet. Now it's 200 they're singing #RutoMustGo.
When 2kg unga was 230 they were quiet. Now it's 97 they're singing #RutoMustGo.
When 1kg sugar was 250 they were quiet. Now it's 110 they're singing #RutoMustGo.
When fertilizer was 7500 they were quiet. Now it's 2500 they're singing #RutoMustGo.
When subsidies from fuel price was stolen they were quiet. Now fuel price is low without subsidies, they're singing #RutoMustGo.
When dollar was 160 they were quiet, now it's 130 they're singing #RutoMustGo.
Folks, the sponsors of demonstrations are enemies of progress. Don't allow them to use you to destroy our beloved nation Kenya.

Umekuwa mwanasiasa bwana oldie..As you say siasa ni hasara tupu. Kenya politics revolve violence. Kila mwaka lazima kuwe na vurugu. I was there when raila was demonstrating. It was just something to watch the riots on TV live and actually to know exactly where these demos were was like a mile from my house. Outering would be war between police and demonstrators and then as police moved out the goons would move in and loot businesses. The amount of violence and killings was just amazing. Our country has a serious anarchy problem due to extreme poverty. One day I get to kenya at around 1pm. My sis picks me up and we are headed to see my mum's place. As we are on jogoo road, I keep seeing these two boys who are climbing into lorries and then jumping off. I ask her what are they doing this for.. she was like they are petty thieves and they go in looking for shovels or other small items they can steal and sell. These boys were not older than 14 years. That whole scene shocked me. I was like this has to be something if you told someone in 🇺🇸 they won't believe.
I got into thinking how bad these street boys life has to be for them to result into this type of risky crime. Other than Nairobi leafy suburbs most of there places are full of these kids. It seems education and life has become expensive that it has priced them out.

We have at least 10m unemployed youth with no means of supporting themselves or even starting families and some kodoos here are talking about prices of Unga, young people are looking for good governance at least we can start there before talking of industrialization. I think this is going to get worse, the more the government kills,the more people become emboldened. If they shut the place down for seven days, it collapses.

That is why we have a brilliant man, Dr. Rutto, who has managed to hire 250K in housing, 400K taken overseas for various jobs, 50K hired as teachers, and 300K+ hired in digital jobs (Deliberate Govt initiative) in just the first 2.5 years. Over 1 million absorbed in private sector jobs because of expanding economy. 5-7+ years and a dent in unemployment would be seen if the rats don't finish burning workplaces, stores, buildings, and supermarkets. Economic growth requires peace and patriotic people that rolls sleeves to build a country!

In the meantime, maandamano, looting, killing, and burning about food/ sufuria cost of living has since taken the back sit. Kenya is now food headquarters after two years of precision food production. Concrete actions taken two years ago has fully paid off. Hard decisions being taken now, will also make the current folk burning businesses and looting look like uncivilized chimps. I'm so confident of President Ruto's plans like my trading strategy that just netted me $32K in 17 minutes!

The only good thing about coming is listening to this Kales who are here, the regular Kale in Bomet are suffering even more than other Kenyans but these guys here parrot their echo chambers and government lines, zero fact and allergic to the truth. I actually pity their wives to have to listen to these cows. It always ends up by bragging how much money they are making, completely empty inside and only feels complete by bragging about money. Do you know that this is actually how we got here, kales donations to church in millions while kids studied under trees in the same neighborhood. Please stop bragging about your money, we are not impressed, once you reach a certain level of wealth, most Kenyans here are, money does not impress them anymore. We are more impressed by kids who are out there putting their lives on the line for the betterment of the country and just like the civil rights movement, you can try to slow it but you cannot stop it. I can see results already, Kasongo had to come out the other day and explain his church shenanigans, I am sure his cronies are starting to think twice before stealing. Raila is now talking about Bomas etc the properties Kasongo is destroying with goons will be rebuilt but the changes coming will be permanent and enduring and by the way, people like Moses Kuria have already jumped ship.

As predicted, big noise kwungulu kwungulu, destroying, looting and burning twang twang. What was accomplished?
Zero.
Jsna I drove nyweee through town after dropping off the Expressway and found kila kitu back to 100% normal.
What pains me is the damaged wreaked on the ordinary stall owner, the casual worker/hawker/boda guy who missed a days pay on account of a big fat Zero achieved at the end of it all.

Hehehe. Njamba you've been away too long. You know when I used to visit annually vistuuu for one or two months per year, a rela of mine who had been ablod too for 8 years then returned in 2005 told me "you will never truly know this place until you live here for 5-7 years minimum.."
I dismissed him and told him those visits and news stories we read on daily nation online and watched on YouTube were sufficient. 5-7 years later of me being on the ground, I had to eat humble pie and admit it. He was right!
What you say about Kwiinya easily applies huko huko too. If a tourist landed in L.A. and decided to drive around South Central, he would be shocked to find rough looking characters smoking weed shirtless on their porches with pitbulls running around and as-good-as-naked Shamequas and Bonqueefas walking around in their booty shorts. Or toothless meth smoking rednecks passed out in their trailer parks.
Add the gunshots rat-tat-taaaaa usiku. It would be unbelievable if reported back to middle and upperclass Kwiinyans in Kwiinya who've never been to the States.

Kwiinya has many different layers - just like the US has. Forget the political din and looting (also happening in the US but on a far more sophisticated level: https://www.forbes.com/sites/kotlikoff/2019/01/09/holding-u-s-treasuries-beware-uncle-sam-cant-account-for-21-trillion/). There are an unbelievable amount of ordinary Kwiinyans doing unbelievably good things beneath the radar, and doing so LEGALLY. It's just that in Kwiinya, it's dangerous to come out and shout about it unlike the US where conspicuous consumption is the norm.
The culture hapa is not better or worse. Just different. I know a guy who does onion farming on 50 acres in Malaa as well as layers and apiaries and sells borehole water to bowsers and neighbours. The guy clears 30-40m easy annually from that operation alone yet has other things going on as well. He won't shout about it lest KRA, Kanjo - yes Kanjo, - and of course thugs come for him. If you see him having breko at Java you will think he's a pauper. Very ordinary looking chap.
Did you know that according to the KNBS, over 70 percent of Kwiinyans own their own homes? Bila mortgages? That is, by definition, a middle to upper middle class society. But they don't shout about it. Did you know that over 60% of Kwiinyans are married-monogamous? With about 12% single? No major single baby mama epidemic EXCEPT in the urban areas where feminism and mzungu lifestyle thinking has taken root, Even then, majority of Kwiinyans in the urban areas are married-monogamous! US je? Most of the peopleIleft there are bitterlysingle or divorcees.Marriage is a key plank of wealth-building. Two heads/paychecks are always better than one. This so called mass Kwiinyan poverty narrative is a big myth. As I said on another thread, I have never met a mama mboga who was not fat, fat, faat with the apron ya kazi. Nor a Gen-z without a smartphone. Have you been to Mukuru? Kawangware? Kangemi? Brathee you will be shocked. TV aerials everywhere ata kama stima is bootlegged. Pool tables, changaa dens, charging stations, water points, fat looking people with sneakers and nice looking clothes -albeit mtumba. There are even millionaires born and living there running their businesses!
Bottom line usindanganywe.
Just because Kwiinyans don't have gleaming Malibu style homes, manicured lawns, conspicuous consumption and the US way of doing things does not mean Kwiinyans are poor. No rich person will say they're rich in Kwiinya.
I went to Kiambu juzi to visit some relas. Food everywhere until it's being thrown away. Fat fat people. Fombe tu ndio shida. M7 calls it the non-monetary economy. If you can stay fat without a job and have a roof over your head to lay in usiku, are you really poor?
Take economic care of yourself, your family and those around you. blo. Wachana na siasa hasala tupu. Kwiinya is the LAND OF OPPORTUNITY for the hardworking and the smart. This is why the silent majority of us across the nation from every side of the divide -- political & apolitical - are against the looting that accompanies these mahandamanos. What did the mama mboga on Tom Mboya St do to deserve a day in wages lost? The young guy who borrowed to start his electronics stall in the CBD who couldn't give two hoots about who's prez?
Ni hayo tu.
