If I were William Ruto's political adviser, I would tell him something no one in his inner circle has the courage to say: Don't run in 2027. Politics is unforgiving. It does not reward stubbornness; it punishes it. The greatest danger facing you is not the opposition; it is the illusion created by those who survive by telling you what you want to hear. They clap at every speech, celebrate every rally, and call every crowd "historic." They are not measuring public opinion; they are protecting their paychecks. Do not mistake the privileges of office for popularity. A convoy is not love. A State House reception is not public approval. A crowd assembled by power is not the same as a nation willing to vote for you. Every ruler eventually reaches the point where the mirror tells one story and the people tell another. Wise leaders believe the people. Proud leaders believe the mirror. You have spent more than thirty years climbing to the summit of Kenyan politics. Don't spend your final chapter proving that the hardest fall is the one from the highest mountain. There comes a point when remaining in the race stops looking like courage and starts looking like an inability to read the times. Leave while retirement is still a choice. If you insist on staying, don't be surprised when the ballot box becomes the harshest political adviser you have ever ignored.

Kenya Is In The Red As Ruto Mistakes A Revolution For A Security Lapse From June 2024 to where Kenya stands today, the biggest mistake William Ruto has made is treating a political revolution like a police operation, because what began as anger over the Finance Bill quickly became a national rejection of arrogance, waste, corruption, overtaxation, police brutality and a government that talks too much while listening too little. The people who went to the streets in June 2024 were not complaining because Parliament had weak gates, police had poor formation or intelligence officers had slept on duty, because they were complaining because life had become too expensive, public money looked like private property for connected people and leaders were behaving as if citizens existed only to be taxed, lied to and beaten into silence. That is why Ruto is very very wrong if he thinks the lesson from June 2024 was that security failed to stop citizens from reaching Parliament, because the real lesson was that the public had reached a point where fear no longer worked as the main tool of control. The first stage of a revolution is pain that leaders dismiss, and Kenya went through that stage when citizens complained about food prices, taxes, unemployment, corruption, medical costs, school fees, public debt and the daily humiliation of watching leaders live big while ordinary people were told to tighten belts that had already cut into their skin. The second stage is shared anger, and that came when Kenyans stopped seeing their suffering as private bad luck and started seeing it as a national pattern created by bad leadership, greedy budgeting, tone deaf speeches and a political class that had lost the shame needed to pretend it cared. The third stage is the trigger, and for Kenya that trigger was the Finance Bill, because the bill became more than a tax document and turned into a symbol of a government that wanted to take more from people who already felt squeezed dry. The fourth stage is the breaking of fear, and that happened when young Kenyans faced tear gas, live bullets, arrests, intimidation, online threats and still returned to the streets with phones, flags, placards, chants and a stubborn refusal to be treated like children of a lesser God in their own country. The fifth stage is state panic, and that is where Ruto’s government moved from political response to security obsession, because instead of accepting that citizens had legitimate anger, the system started behaving as if the main problem was protest logistics rather than the pain producing the protests. That is how we arrived at this strange place where CBDs are closed, roads are blocked, Parliament is barricaded, police are deployed like the country is at war with itself and strange squads appear around protests as if the State is trying to scare citizens back into silence. The use of acoustic weapons and other aggressive crowd control tools shows how badly the regime has misread the national mood, because a machine that screams at citizens does not answer why they are broke, why they are angry, why families are burying children, why abducted people remain a national wound or why public trust has collapsed. Ruto thinks stronger policing can stop the wheel, but once the wheel of a revolution starts rotating, it does not stop simply because a government has bought bigger vehicles, louder machines, darker helmets and more officers to flood the streets. This is where necessity becomes the mother of invention, because when you close the CBD, people begin to think beyond the CBD, when you block one route, people begin to imagine another route, and when you militarize one protest style, the public begins to create new civic languages that the State has not yet learned how to police. A revolution does not always move in one straight line, and it does not always announce itself through one big crowd in one big city, because sometimes it becomes refusal, silence, boycott, ridicule, underground coordination, public memory, electoral punishment and a slow national agreement that the people in power have lost moral authority. Kenya is now in the red because the same issues citizens complained about in 2024 have not been fixed in a way that people can feel in their homes, pockets, hospitals, schools, workplaces, police stations and villages. The anger is still there, the distrust is still there, the cost of living is still there, the debt burden is still there, the corruption anger is still there, the police brutality question is still there and the feeling that government only listens when people rise up is now deeper than it was before Parliament was stormed. The danger for Ruto is that he has armed and empowered the security sector so heavily that officers may start behaving with the carelessness that comes when a government teaches them that every angry citizen is an enemy to be subdued instead of a Kenyan to be heard. That kind of overconfidence can spin things out of control, because once security officers believe they are the last wall protecting a collapsing political order, small confrontations become national tragedies and every excessive response creates new anger for the next round. The political bomb coming to Kenya is not a cartoon bomb carried by protesters, but a pressure bomb created by the State itself every time it refuses to solve the real issues and chooses instead to add more uniforms, more barricades, more arrests and more threats. Ruto still has not understood that revolutions are not defeated by closing streets, because streets are only the visible part of a deeper public shift that begins inside people’s minds before it appears on roads, timelines, funerals, markets, campuses, churches, workplaces and ballot boxes. Kenya is now past the complaint stage, past the awakening stage, past the trigger stage and past the first breaking of fear, which means the country is currently in the state panic stage where government responds to a legitimacy crisis with security muscle. The next stage is adaptation, where citizens stop relying on the old predictable protest patterns and begin finding new ways to express anger, preserve memory, pressure power and punish arrogance without waiting for permission from the same system they are resisting. After adaptation comes the judgment stage, where the regime either reforms honestly and lowers the national temperature or continues provoking the country until public anger becomes impossible to manage through police deployments and emergency speeches. That is why Kenya is in the red today, because Ruto is fighting the smoke while feeding the fire, and a government that keeps mistaking citizens’ pain for a security lapse eventually learns that the real breach was not at Parliament, but inside the trust that once held the country together.

When June 25th/ 2024 happened , neither the establishment nor the opposition had any clue what had just hit the country. They still don’t. My advice to all the old folks thinking that they are the new found managers of the Gen Z movement is this ..Whether we like it or not, our politics ,our economy & our social structures will have to bend to the will of the majority generation. It won’t be shaped by the political elite , this Genz OS doesn’t operate on the GenX, Baby Boomer code. Their software is nimble , rewriting itself daily to survive adversity but ultimately it aims to dominate. Better bring them to the proverbial table early before they remove it entirely!

Dennis Itumbi, Return the phone to the President. Quickly!

𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍🕯 Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of our ardent supporter, James “Jamrock” Kariuki, who passed away on Tuesday 23rd June. From all of us at Kulabu, we stand with his family and loved ones during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Jamrock.

The trips are endless, luxurious, and incomplete without large convoys, complete with a fleet of helicopters. The millions of shillings in mobilization handouts on each trip add to the reckless spending spree that President William Ruto’s regime has adopted for his domestic trips. ow.ly/npIP50Zg7uP

Kenya strongly protests the decision by Israel to include the country amongst those whose travellers it will restrict. This is esp unfortunate given Kenya’s support to regional surveillance & response to Ebola. With over 80,000 tests, no case of Ebola has been reported in Kenya.
