About this listen

1963 Was Not Freedom. It Was a Baton Pass. In 1963, Kenya was handed its “freedom,” but what did it really mean? The currency changed, but the theft remained. Colonial administrators made way for local cronies, and British companies were replaced by Kenyan elites. Yet, despite the political shift, the majority of Kenyans are still waiting for the promises of independence to come true. The Reality on the Ground While the political elites drive past open sewers in tinted Prados, the people in Kenya are still walking on roads that look more like footpaths. https://www.wantamnotam.com

    Northeastern Kenya and the Billions That Never Arrive

    Northeastern Kenya appears in budget speeches with impressive figures attached. Billions assigned. Special status affirmed. Promises renewed. On the ground, the signs tell a different story. Clinics without staff. Schools with thin attendance. Roads that fade into dust. Water projects announced, then paused, then quietly dropped. The distance between the figures on paper and daily life keeps widening.

    The Equalization Fund was designed to close historic gaps, not decorate speeches. Money was meant to move fast and visibly into health, water, roads, and education. Years later, the lived reality across Garissa, Wajir, and Mandera still reflects neglect. When outcomes fail at this scale, the question stops being whether money was allocated and becomes whether it ever reached the people it was meant to serve.

    Money does not evaporate on its own. It moves through offices, approvals, committees, accounts. Each step leaves a trace. Development stalls when those traces are never followed. Reports get delayed. Oversight visits get postponed. Contractors appear briefly and vanish. Projects change names midstream. Communities are told to wait. Waiting becomes routine.

  • Keny 2026: Siasa Za Kenya Zimeoza Kabisa
    Jan 25 2026

    In January 2026, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and his supporters faced a series of violent disruptions during religious services, most notably at Witima ACK Church in Othaya. Reports indicate that masked individuals and security forces deployed tear gas and live ammunition, forcing the politician to flee through thickets for safety. Gachagua has since alleged a state-sponsored assassination plot orchestrated by President William Ruto, while government officials have ordered investigations into the chaos. These incidents occur against a backdrop of intense political friction, as Gachagua popularizes his new Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) ahead of the 2027 elections. Meanwhile, disinformation campaigns involving fabricated newspaper headlines have attempted to portray his party as collapsing or promote inflammatory rhetoric. This ongoing conflict highlights a significant fracturing of the Mount Kenya political bloc as rival factions compete for regional dominance.
