🇰🇪 June 25 Protest: A Nation's Wound Reopened One Year Later
By: Kimathi, a Kenyan Reporter. This report features insights from Albert O. Ojwang, a well-known Blogger. Introduction: One Year Later, the Streets Still Speak It began with silence. The kind of silence that hangs heavy, before a chant, before a tear gas canister hisses through the air, before the footsteps of thousands turn asphalt into history. Today, June 25, 2025, Kenyans across more…
Kenya’s Healthcare Crisis: The Day Ordinary Kenyans Stopped Trusting the System
By Kimathi A few weeks ago, somewhere in Kenya, a mother carried her feverish child into a hospital hoping for help. She had done everything right. She had registered for the new healthcare system. She had waited in queues. She had trusted the promises politicians made during press conferences and television interviews. But after hours of waiting, she was told something heartbreaking: “The…
When the City Turned Into a River: The Floods That Paralyzed Nairobi
by Kimathi A Night Nairobi Will Not Forget Imagine ending your shift at the office; you prepare to leave, only to realize that you can’t. Amazingly, the ever-busy city of Nairobi turns into a river in less than two hours. Five days ago, Nairobi experienced a night that many residents will remember for a very long time.

Between Healing and Resistance: Reflections on Staying Human in Difficult Times
By Kimathi There are moments in life when you suddenly realize the world is not as simple as you once believed. When we are young, everything feels straightforward. Work hard. Be honest. Respect people. Follow the rules. We are told that if we do these things, life will reward us. But as we grow, we begin to understand the importance of healing and resistance in shaping our experiences and…
Kenya on the Road to 2027: Between Hope, Weariness, and the Search for Direction
By Kimathi There is a certain feeling in the air when a country starts drifting toward an election year. The upcoming Kenya 2027 election is already beginning to make its presence felt. It is not always loud, and it is not always clear, but you can sense it in small ways. It is evident in the conversations people engage in on buses and in marketplaces. It is evident in the gradual resurgence of…
When We Learned to Look Away: A Kenyan’s Reflection on a Nation That No Longer Steps In
By Kimathi There are moments that stay with you. Moments you replay long after the noise fades. Moments that quietly change how you see your country. For me, one of those moments was watching a man being robbed in broad daylight while people stood nearby, close enough to hear his voice crack with fear, close enough to help, yet far enough to pretend they were not involved. No one…
When the Nation Mourned, Power Moved Quietly: Kenya’s New Laws and the Questions No One Asked
By Kimathi On the morning of October 15, 2025, Kenya went still. The news broke like a bad dream: Raila Amolo Odinga, the man who had stood at the heart of Kenya’s democracy for over four decades, was gone. He died in India, aged 80, and with him, a piece of the nation’s political soul seemed to fade. From Kibera to Kisumu, Nyeri to Nakuru, people cried openly. Radios played his old speeches.…
Justice for Sale: How Kenya’s Legal System Protects the Powerful and Betrays the Poor
By Kimathi There’s a saying in Kenya that goes, “Haki ni ya wenye pesa.” Justice belongs to those with money. It’s a bitter phrase, one whispered in matatus, police stations, and tiny court corridors across the country. But behind that frustration lies a sad truth. In Kenya, justice doesn’t flow evenly. It bends, twists, and eventually bows to the weight of wealth and political influence. Our…
