Time to shut down that BATUK thing. UK military training in Kenya is a privilege that must be earned, not a right.

The story, as promised. A THREAD My friend had a very successful retail business in Meru. Equity bank recruited him as one of their agents. In no time, he was best agent in Meru county & was invited for a seminar in Thika, to enhance the 'partnership'. That's where trouble began.

Sending ksh105 via MPESA is charged ksh7(6.7% of transaction value) Withdrawing same ksh105 from MPESA is charged ksh29 (27.6% oftransaction value) Total transaction cost for ksh105 via MPESA is ksh36 (34.3% of the transaction value) This isn't just expensive, it's PUNITIVE.

Withdrawing 200shs from Mpesa is charged at 14% (29shs) Not withstanding, the person who sent you the money was also charged! Unregulated monopolies are another big problem in this country!!

One MP is murdered, less than 48hours later, suspects are in courts. 60+ GenZ protesters are murdered, more than 10 months later, no suspects identified, no arrests, no investigations completed, no prosecution, "file incomplete", "lack of witnesses", "lack of evidence" blabla...

Kenyans, Jomo Kenyatta; 1. Was not a leader of MAUMAU. 2. Was not a member of MAUMAU 3. He denounced MAUMAU. 4. He betrayed MAUMAU 5. He 'served' most of his 'jail time' in luxury in a mansion in Mararal, Samburu, not Kapenguria. UN-learn the propaganda & RE-learn true history.

WSR has spent 2yrs globetrotting & delivering eloquent speeches across the (Western) world that have costed billions to build a facade of a new breed of African liberal leader; staunch believer in democracy, rule of law & civil liberties. Today, that facade came down crumbling.
