In a figure of speech, President Ruto had covered 1000 km in the wrong direction since he assumed office. To get back to the starting point, he has been forced by Gen-Z to cover a bit of the 1000 km in a self-preservation rush. Even when he covers another 1000 km towards where we are, it will only get him to the Zero-mark of the journey he should have embarked on in the first place. All that he is doing now is not concessional or anything that addresses the real concerns. If someone pushed you off the cliff, should we praise him for sending a rescue team to save you? But wait, these are men who shoot your children and redeem themselves by paying hospital bills or buying the coffins. As a society, we accepted such treatment as benevolence from our servants but not Gen-Z!

Ruto is preoccupied with good old tactics that started with threats after Parliament was occupied by citizens of whichever mold. The threats grudgingly gave way to pacification which have now morphed to full-brown deception. Lost in hopeless maneuvers, the conversation to change this economy has not even begun. His temperature-testing piecemeal retributions are simply rectifying his transgressions against the constitution. These selfish, deaf and blind moves should not pacify anyone; they are hundreds of kilometers from the Zero-mark.

The conversation has been about the wrongs committed by this administration that talks of upholding the rule of law but captures Parliament with the rule of a yellow-adorned man. The conversation has been about the mutilation of the constitution by the president and his agents. The conversation has been about his ear that is loudly deaf. In fact, just yesterday, he appointed a Debt Auditing Taskforce unconstitutionally with the egg all over his face thrown by admirable Law Society of Kenya’s President today.

The conversation has been about arrogance and his cousin oppullancy displayed by him on an elegant private-jet crossing oceans on an enslaving trip. Oppullancy likewise displayed by his agents and allies with millions of cash-handouts and demeaning packets of unga akin to parasites that donate blood to their anemic victims. While this conversation and action to mend these maladies must be had and forthcoming, the real conversation has not even begun. But it’s Action we need, not Talk!

We are here because we IMPORT everything, Period! Actually, we are here because the politician who is duty-bound to protect our economy from crippling importations is the one who imports everything. We don’t need to talk, we need factories. We are here because the men we call youth are holders of hopeless papers because by importing everything, we export their jobs. Engineers now man supermarket aisles, lawyers clean your head after a haircut, teachers sell boiled eggs by the school, accountants sell Mtush when the darkness falls while all the other graduates have become hawkers. It’s factories we urgently need, not Talk!

We are here because our debt is necessitated by the importation of products and items that we should or ought to make here in Kenya. We are here because our cost of living is given wings by importation of fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) sold by multinationals that produce these products abroad. Our soap is made in Egypt, Powdered milk in Ireland, Toothpaste in Thailand, Oranges in South Africa, Clothes in Turkey and everything else in China. Infact, when you go to any shop, kiosk or supermarket you are essentially not in Kenya. We shop abroad while standing on our own soil. That should be the center of Action, not more talk! Factories not Talk!

Our major supermarkets are unfairly owned by the World Bank and other foreign entities. Some of our Banks and Insurance companies are controlled by the World Bank through IFC in shareholding or convertible debt. IMF writes our laws not just finance bills. Foreign ambassadors dictate our policy and direction for the benefit of their own countries, not Kenya.

70% of our milk is processed and marketed by the French who also control our energy industry. Our vegetables are aggregated and supplied by the US and Europe’s equity-funded company bearing swahili names for deception with a goal to kill local farming entirely to eventually import what was successfully grown here. Your groceries are delivered by a Spanish company. You order online from a German company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. All shopping-centers in Kenya are being strangled by e-commerce monopoly by a foreign company equally with a Swahili sounding name. Some Embassies are pushing fo digital superhighway to seize trade from Kenyans using the same Western skewed e-commerce. This should be the center of Action not Talk.

As part of my contribution toward the solutions we desperately need, I now present to all Kenyans the instruments of our freedom. The rebuilding power bound in our Five Fingers. The liberty found in our Money Circles. The map with the channels of our escape from Dollar Altars. The precise bricks to erect the walls of our preservation. The potent cannon of our sure victory. Here in, PRESIDENT’S ADVISOR! As I wrote in the book President’s Advisor published in 2023, may this moment be:

The chance of a lifetime
To bifurcate towards true justice
Served in factories not courts
Justice in production not prisons
To stop a powerful flood
To stop mighty shedding of blood
Destabilization by economical war
To cure not symptomatology
To heal an impotent nation
Shameful impotence in youthful years!
