NASWA Revolution bites hard

[bryan275]

Your analysis is understandable under the current politicians driven politics. What Raila is doing is empowering the people and letting them take over.  Once the people are fully empowered, no politician will dare get off the line. We will teach the people how to demonstrate peacefully, graciously and with humility,  like they do in the West and then more people will come to the streets including people with jobs, businessmen and women, middle class and people will even bring children. Time is on our side.

Like I'd mentioned before, NASA governors now fearing their looting will be affected:

Expect Senators , MPs and MCAs to start having silent misgivings also.

I wonder how the poor can be said to be empowered when there is, as far as I can tell, not a single meaningful step being taken by both coalitions to provide a conducive economic environment for said empowerment.

Not trying to be cynical, just wondering out aloud.

Cynically wondering aloud.  I note that the anti-competitive environment driven by Safcom is being dismantled right before our eyes.  Strive would have an interesting story to tell about his YU network and what happened when he tried to venture into the market. 

The rise of politically connected monopolies in Kenya only hurts the people and further encourages injustice in various forms.  i.e  consumer rights, price fixing, electoral and even economic.

Turns out Airtel have better offerings and the people are discovering this.

Kenya has been the most "peaceful" country in the region since independence and yet the poor were never economically empowered. This is because you cannot empower people economically if they are not politically empowered.  This is why political empowerment is the first step to achieve economic empowerment.  That is why I personally do not pay any mind to those who go around preaching peace and development in a political environment where Arap Mashamba is crowing how the 2017, 2022, and 2027 elections are forgone conclusions. He is even parading Muhoho as his successor in 2032. Ouruto had devised an elaborate  system where in their minds Kenyans would vote "peacefully", and then, at the presidential level or any other local contest they desire to influence,  the  votes cast by wanainchi would be  substituted to reflect their desired out come.  What NASA is doing is breaking and dismantling this system so that Wanainchi can be empowered again politically.  The economy may have to suffer until this political dictatorship is broken, otherwise the political victims of this primitive system must secede and chart their own destiny.  Kenya was a creation of the Europeans and there is really no need for those of us who do not feel part of it to cling to it forever as slaves of certain tribes who consider themselves superior in fake numbers.

Illogical.

How politically empowered are the citizens of China?

Believing the lies of politicians, from both coalitions, is one of our major problems as Kenyans...or maybe it's us trying to justify our tribal leaning. [emoji848]

He should boycott receiving his salaries which in part comes from taxes paid by Safcom, Bidco, etc.

Err, almost all companies in .ke who have political connections across the spectrum are.

Indeed, only very few "dumb" ones in the private sector pay taxes fully otherwise they'll be very uncompetitive in the market.

Even though I find NASA's boycott a brainless endeavor, this tweet by the CA is even more silly:

That tweet is off the jubilee press.  It might as well have been signed PPU or i36.
