🇰🇪 Kenya Is Bleeding, and our People Are Tired

• Right now, this country Kenya is going through one of the hardest times in its history.

These are not just “desperate times” as we used to experience when we were still growing.

This is real.This is painful. This is happening now.And People are suffering.

° Families are struggling to put food on the table.

° Parents are crying because they don’t know how they will pay school fees next week.

° Businesses are closing.

° Jobs are disappearing.

° Graduates are doing odd jobs just to survive.

° Some are selling eggs, 🥚 others are riding boda bodas 🛵 and many are just sitting at home—helpless.

• The streets are full of pain.

° You can see it in people’s eyes.

° You can hear it in their voices.

° You can feel it in the silence of homes where dinner is just a cup of tea.

° *People are tired.*

° People are desperate.

° People are angry.

° People are hungry.

• And the question we keep asking is:

Are the leaders listening?

Do they see what is happening?

Do they care about the cries of the common mwananchi?

• We hear promises.

• We hear speeches.

• We hear plans.

° But what we don’t see is action.

° What we don’t feel is relief.

° What we don’t hear is truth.

• The cost of living is too high.

° Bread, 🍞 cooking oil, school fees, rent—everything is skyrocketing.

° But salaries are not.

° Opportunities are not.

° Hope is not.

• Young people are losing faith in the future.

° Parents are losing sleep.

° Children are missing meals.

° And the Country is losing its soul.

• This is not just an economic crisis.

° This is a human crisis.

° A spiritual crisis.

° A national cry  for help.

• We are not asking for miracles.

° We are asking for leadership.

° For compassion.

° For justice.

° For solutions.

• Because if nothing changes, we fear what’s next.

• Will more children drop out of school?

• Will more families sleep hungry?

• Will more youth give up on life?

This country called Kenya is bleeding and people are between a hard place and a Rock.
