Well not a coincidence. Not that sinister…

Ruto is pivoting to the West (ie America).

He promised that he’ll send Kenyan security forces to Haiti. In exchange Kenya will get major non-NATO ally status, US weaponry, and a IMF loan.

But, all IMF loans come with strings attached (neoliberal economics). He would have to squeeze the poor to get those billions which likely won’t trickle down to the poor (they’re renovating the Vice President’s house first!). So, the masses revolted.
People don't understand how inhumane African leaders are @Wiseborn you've been to Nairobi, tell them of the numerous slums you've seen. All a result of the purposeful killing of the rural economy leading to massive rural-urban migration, for us to live as beggars and squalors in our own land. Yesterday police went to an Estate and killed 30+ people, women, children involved. This is a class struggle. The middle class who are slowly being eroded, but it is the poor who have been treated as majority of the cannon fodder yet again. Whether floods, police brutality, they are used and misused and treated like garbage. Yet its there that politicians go to seek voted 1st.

If we lose this we are as good as dead as a country.
Nah y'all got this b

Mobilization is the first move. Now it's about organizing the masses to take power and not to see the fight as only about rejecting the bill.

By creating a mass urban proletariat, they have sown the seeds of their own destruction

Power to the people:salute:

This doesnt mean anything.

According to Kenyan constitution, after 21-Days, even without the President's signature of approval, the finance bill will become law.

The president also doesn't have the explicit power to withdraw a finance bill once it has been introduced into parliament according to the same constitution.

We will only know in the next 3-weeks what the future of Kenya will be.

Are Kenyans considering forming workers councils?
The central theme is to legitimise public participation. Imagine where I live we had to engage in running battles with police to get a simple tarmack road, we fought all day, we don't need nor want that again. How can public servants work without targets?

Its not only about the bill, the bill is just a hurdle. The Mps will not believe what will hit them, then the Governors, then the wicked dirty rotten church clergy, who have enabled this type of behaviour by allowing politicians come and donate millions to their churches and keep our parents and older generations mentally fukked in the head. Then all institutions that were complicit, no peace.

Nigerians, our hearts often weep for you when we see how your politicians and civil servants disrespect you. The moral citizen must feel as if he is in an upside down world where wrong is right and right is wrong.

Our wicked politicians in Nigeria know how to divide us to further their greed
