It is important to really love

I am hurting from inside

But you are still not by my side

You see my lips smiling

But my heart is crying

My body looks strong

But my confidence is weak

Nobody sees my sadness

A life without happiness

You give me all the gold

But I am still cold

Let me sleep in your arm

It will keep me warm

My body is perfection

But my soul is lamentation

Thank you for the new cars

But all I want is you

Really look at me

Understand my cry for help

Come save me

Stop saying that you love me

"Do love me"

Demystifying the Cost of Living: Has President Ruto Really Made Life Harder?

Image
Over the past few years, the phrase “ cost of living has skyrocketed ” has become a rallying cry across Kenya, particularly among the youth and working class. And while the pain at the pump, the checkout counter, and in rent receipts is real, it's important to dig deeper and separate perception from policy. One of the most misunderstood fronts in this debate is the monthly payslip . Many believe that under President William Ruto’s administration, more is being taken from their salary than during President Uhuru Kenyatta’s time. To address this, let’s compare payslips side by side — July 2022 (Uhuru’s era) vs July 2025 (Ruto’s era) . 💸 Side-by-Side Salary Comparison: 2022 vs 2025 Item July 2022 July 2025 Basic Pay 100,000 100,000 NSSF 1,080 4,320 NHIF/SHIF 1,700 (NHIF) 2,750 (SHIF) Housing Levy 0 1,500 Taxable Pay 98,920 91,430 Income Tax 24,459.36 22,212.36 Personal Relief -2,400 -2,400 PAYE (After Relief) 21,804.36 19,812.36 Net Pay 75,415.64 71,617.64 At face value, it see...

Security Over Politics: Why Kenyan 's Must Rethink the June 25 Protests

Image
As geopolitical tensions between Iran and Western powers reach new heights, Kenya finds itself increasingly exposed—not just diplomatically, but militarily and domestically. Manda Bay , the coastal U.S. military base in Lamu, serves as AFRICOM’s command center for operations across the Great Lakes region , and is now well within the missile range of Iran's growing arsenal. If Tehran chooses to strike outside the Middle East, Kenya, a non-NATO major ally of the United States , may be viewed as a soft target. This possibility is no longer hypothetical. According to a classified intelligence bulletin issued by the National Intelligence Service (NIS) , hostile elements may already be positioning themselves inside the country. The agency has warned that ongoing political protests in Nairobi—especially the June 25 demonstrations led by Gen Z—may be infiltrated by radicalized terrorist groups , including operatives with sympathies to Iran. Their goal? To exploit civil unrest to strike ...

Six Hours to Walk Three Minutes? Why the Opposition Must Rethink the June 25 Procession

Image
  This week, a letter surfaced from Ndegwa & Ndegwa Advocates notifying the police of the opposition's intention to hold a peaceful procession on June 25, 2025 , to commemorate the fallen Gen Z heroes. According to the letter, the procession will start at 10:00 a.m. from City Hall and end at 4:00 p.m. at Parliament Road —a route that, on foot, takes just under three minutes . At first glance, the purpose appears noble. Honoring those who died during last year's unrest is both necessary and meaningful. But when you examine the timing, the location, and the current security climate , the plan starts to look less like a tribute and more like a potential flashpoint. The proposed six-hour procession raises questions. What exactly is happening between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. along a route that spans a few hundred meters? While we understand the need for symbolic rituals—candle lighting, wreath-laying, silent reflection— these can be respectfully done in one hour , not six. Im...
