Lord!
Karen Nyamu: I recently tried to help a very staunch campaigner of mine join the police force. Tukakarabati (we forged) a form 4 certificate. She went to Kiganjo for training, but after investigations, she was arrested for forgery alongside 17 others. #ThePeoplesBreakfast #HomeOfHardTruths @ctmuga & @mungalambuvi

The fastest way to get ahead is to master deep work. Set a clear goal. Remove every distraction. Work on it without switching tasks until you're done. Then rest and repeat. A few hours of intense focus are worth more than an entire day of distracted work.

1.Democracy does not exist. 2.Your vote doesn't count. 3.All bills in parliament are pushed by globalists and corporations, your politicians are just faces. 4. The political class care about themselves,they don't care about tribalism or poverty or you and me. 5.Politicians are all actors following a script. 6.All politicians have masters they report to. 7.If you decide to support a politician in this capitalistic society make sure it is benefitting you, everything has a price. Do not follow the masses,be very selfish. This is for you who believe politicians are going to bring change.

Sentences that changed my life: β€’ Neuroplasticity will make you a millionaire. β€’ Subconscious programming runs your life. β€’ The best investments have asymmetric risks. β€’ Working in a flow state is the most productive. β€’ Hang around high performers to become one. β€’ People buy your energy, not your skills. β€’ F*ck around and figure it out. β€’ Stress is a sign of growth, not a defect. β€’ Be an athlete, an artist, or an entrepreneur. β€’ The future belongs to non-linear careers. β€’ Treat social media like a video game. β€’ Have a psychopathic sense of urgency. β€’ Delusional optimism is how you win. β€’ Writing is thinking. β€’ Selling is just helping people. β€’ Only leverage creates wealth. β€’ You will never get rich on a salary. β€’ Smart people overthink everything. β€’ Do the opposite of 99% of society. β€’ To persuade, make people feel something. β€’ Share a worldview online instead of a niche. β€’ Posting on YouTube builds trust faster in an AI world. β€’ The solution to money problems is just to make more money. β€’ Either figure out sales & marketing, or work a job where a company does it for you.

THE KILLER FACILITY THAT KISUMU’S JOOTRH LEVEL SIX HOSPITAL HAS BECOME πŸ”» The @jootrhkisumu was upgraded to Level 6 in June 2025 and sold to Nyanza and Western Kenya as a medical masterstroke. 16 months later, the facility is killing people through neglect. πŸ”» Last year, I lost my dear sister from there. The lesser said the better. CS @HonAdenDuale & esp the arrogant PS @fnoluga knows my pain with him. He ignored my calls/messages. I’ll forever appreciate DG @DrPatrickAmoth for positively intervening with JOOTRH’s failed management. The most incompetent and incompetent Joshua Okise (ostensibly protected by Oluga) should resign and allow a competent person to run JOOTRH. Let me talk of other Kenyans. Thanks @StandardKenya for this important story. JOOTRH is a total mess. Disgrace. A place people are referred to die! πŸ”» Winnie Otieno, 41, mum of 3, was told to find blood herself. When the hospital responded, her husband returned to find another patient in his wife's bed. He found her body on a trolley by the toilets, covered with a bedsheet. πŸ”» A nurse reportedly arrived at 2am for a patient convulsing since 9pm. He was later diagnosed with a stroke. πŸ”» A woman who could not walk spent hours in a wheelchair, "no bed available," and died the moment a bed finally opened. πŸ”» Ward Two's broken windows are patched with cardboard, with bedridden patients exposed to cold air at night. πŸ”» A man waited nearly a week for a nurse to attend him. Another was told to wait two months for surgery. πŸ”» Families bought Mackintosh sheets and sent them to Kisumu, because they were afraid to ask nurses for anything. πŸ”» This is not a story of tired staff and a few bad nights. A national referral hospital is rationing blood, beds, dignity and basic nursing care, and families fear that complaining will make things worse. πŸ”» Even the PS for Medical Services Dr Oluga admits "we are not blind to some complaints." That is an admission of a systemic failure. πŸ”» Level 6 status is a legal and budgetary promise. It is not a signboard. πŸ”» A hospital where patients die waiting for beds, blood and a nurse is not a referral facility. It is a death trap with a ribbon-cutting. πŸ”» Investigations are not enough. We need accountability: who funds, who supervises, who answers @AnyangNyongo @WilliamsRuto @MOH_Kenya @DrOburu_O @StateHouseKenya @HakiKNCHR @koske_felix #JOOTRH #Kisumu #HealthIsARight

The audacity is unreal: the very regime whose security forces shot at Raila's convoy and nearly took his life during the 2023 protests is now weaponizing his legacy, lecturing us on how much they 'loved' and 'valued' his vision. Buana I can never board such a charade!
