Civil society can only be good if they are aiding to make positive transformation, in Africa they are often used to pervert nations that seek more self-determination.
There are those among us who were once “Kings of Egypt”, someone has successfully persuaded then that they need to be journeying to a certain canaan instead of seeking back their kingship.

Kwani kazi ya NIS ni ipi? These matters are serious. This is the most serious challenge Kenya has faced since independence.
Before independence, we had nationalists on one side versus homeguards on the other side.
Current nationalists are on the Uhuru/Ruto/Jubilee side.
Current homeguards are on the odm/raila/ngos side. This side also has sarah, kiai, mutua, kegoro, ndii, gladwell and many other shadowy characters.
I think the mistake intelligence services in Kenya made is to think elections would be only about Uhuru and Raila, with the latter as the main challenger. Yes, on the surface he is the main challenger, but behind him is a massive force with great financial muscle and international connections.
If I was policy maker in Kenya with access to the leaders, I would recommend the following, if we are to protect Kenya from becoming a failed state:
- If any foreign donor has a cosy relationship with any of the ngo persons I’ve mentioned above, then it should never be allowed to have any unsupervised presence in Kenya. Going forward, funding for all ngos must be studied, not only the direct donor, but other dealings/associations about that donor. This is not difficult since most of this information is already online. If there’s anything suspicious about the donor, its up to the NIS to check what the ngo is upto, before its too late.
- Ban all foreign travel (unless with authority of the president), not only of senior civil servants like the current case, but even the senior members of the so-called ’independent commissions’ and including the Judiciary and IEBC. Can you imagine a CJ flying abroad before delivering full judgement in a case that has placed Kenya at a standstill? There was also some unusual travel from senior IEBC official at a very critical time. This independent institutions were given free hand to do what they wish, and they have abused their independence. Time to reign them in.
- No foreign entity should be allowed to deal directly with any independent commissions plus judiciary, IEBC directly without related CS authority.
If no tough measures are taken right after the repeat election, Kenya will go to the dogs.

But I am unconvinced. This is a man who campaigns using a promise to lower rent meaning he would tamper with private investments. He went to Kajiado and ask them not to sell land?
