Yes, that is true, many people pay bribes na bado wanazungushwa sana. One is made to pay the bribe to be given the service they should have been given efficiently without the bribe only to still need the service as the corrupt official who accepted the bribe is still refusing to do their job — I...

Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall (Proverbs 16: 18) 🙏🏾

1) That is unpaid labour that I will not be doing — the indexes exist — it is obvious we are not doing well politically and economically — there are numbers and there are lived experiences (quantitative data/ qualitative anecdotes) and in our case they say the exact same thing. 2) I am not...

Thank you for your contribution! I accept that the ball is in their court, especially since they have proven that they will not hesitate to cause harm to anyone that tries to say otherwise, but they also have to accept that choosing not to change directions and work towards healing the...

I can read your criticisms but I don’t have to accept them if they are politically motivated, it is as simple as that. It is not idealism when you know for a fact that there are things that can be done to change our current reality and that it is simply human selfishness, greed, and brutal...

It is taking a long time to see positive changes because of the lack of political will from those in positions of power to make effective decisions that can help us move forward. And the excuse that it takes a long time is unacceptable — it is easy to accept that it will take a long time to...

Sihitaji kukubalika na mtu yoyote. The fact that you think I need to be accepted is so bizzare to me. it is ridiculous to think my political opinions are based on my personal life. I have a doctorate in international history and politics, a master’s degree in African Studies, an undergraduate...

Usiproject your own lack of integrity kwa watu wengine. Nimefika mpaka nilipo kwasababu ya misimamo niliyonayo na nilijujua mapema sana. Mpaka niliosoma nao primary wanajua nilikuwa sikubali upendeleo na uonevu. Maneno nayoandika hapa ndio ninayoyasema kila siku in real life na nimeyasema...

Inabidi uwe makini na cultural reasoning hizo unazotumia kwasababu ziko biased na zina terrible consequences — putting the blame on culture is blaming people for their own suffering which is not just inaccurate but wrong. Shida za utamaduni ni zaidi kwenye utamaduni wa kisiasa na za utendaji...

You are missing the entire point of my post which is actually so sad. It is precisely the privileges I have had that push me to speak up about the governance issues that are tearing this country apart. And the fact that you think what I am doing is complaining just shows most of what I said...

Asante sana 🙏🏾

Sijui kama mimi siasa nitaiweza — natoa maoni yangu tu 🙂
