Part from assaulting their political opponents on the MEDIA, HOW MANY JOBS HAVE PRO-BBI AND ANTI-BBI THE MARAUDING KENYAN POLITICAL ELITES CREATED SINCE THE RIGGING OF 8/8/2017 ELECTIONS!
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE SHAM ELECTIONS WERE OVER FOLLOWED BY THE HANDSHAKE,THESE ELITES STARTED CAMPAIGNING FOR 2022 ELECTIONS!
KENYA HAS BECOME A PERPETUAL CAMPAIGN AND A LOOTING REPUBLIC BY THE allied foreign and local elites WHO HAVE HELD THE KENYAN REPUBLIC HOSTAGE AND CAPTURED IT SINCE THE MIDNIGHT OF 12/12/1963!
These combined elites (foreign and local associates) are hell bent on burning the Kenyan Republic and its African poor population to the ground using all means necessary without any shame!
They are using threats, violence, murder and impunity to force themselves onto the silenced 99.99% poor Kenyan citizens on whose backs they are riding! THIS IS A TOPDOWN DICTATORSHIP BY THESE POLITICAL PARTY ELITES BECAUSE ALL LOCAL AND NATIONAL GANG MEMBERS WHO ARE HOLDING JOBS ARE HANDPICKED BY THEM AND NOT BY THE CITIZENS THEY ARE FINANCIALLY ASSAULTING, STEALING FROM AND HIDING BEHIND without blinking!!
THIEVES, LOOTERS, KILLERS, DRUG TRAFFICKERS AND PUBLIC RESOURCES AUCTIONEERS ARE THE MAJOR JOBS BEING CREATED IN KENYA by the ruling elites! KENYA IS FOREIGN OWNED, LET US BE HONEST ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!!
We are watching the DEMISE of a nation and its population perpetuated by a few low IQ and MYOPIC GLUTTONOUS GANGS running amok!

Your post has really been helpful. On the other hand, incorporating more narrative images by means of a lot more appropriate images and even video lessons might make it “pop” the more. Just a thought though; and you certainly do own a remarkable site.
