How The Government of Kenya is Spying on Your Phone: An Urgent Exposé of State Surveillance

During the recent Gen Z-led protests that shook William Ruto personally and his administration to its very core, many Kenyans found themselves asking a chilling question: How did the police track them down so easily, even in the supposed safety of their homes? Scores of activists and protesters were abducted, many never to be seen again. Suspicion quickly fell on Safaricom and Kenya Power, accused of handing over personal information to a rogue state. But the truth may be even more disturbing—and far simpler than most would imagine... In a revelation that will shock every Kenyan, your private communications—phone calls, texts, and even your physical location—is being monitored without your knowledge. The Kenyan government has been accused of engaging in widespread surveillance of its citizens, using sophisticated tools provided by Israeli cyber-espionage firm Circles.

Benny Hinn In Kenya: The Gift That Keeps on Giving

Televangelist and head of the New Life Prayer Centre and Church, Pastor Ezekiel Odero, has come under fire after donating a staggering Ksh14.6 million (USD100,000) during a fundraiser hosted by Pastor Benny Hinn at Nyayo Stadium on Monday. The move has sparked widespread criticism and condemnation from Kenyans, who view it as insensitive and immoral, given the prevailing poverty and hardship gripping the nation.

At a time when many Kenyan families are struggling to make ends meet, facing job losses, inflation, and economic instability, Pastor Odero's lavish donation has struck a nerve. The exorbitant sum, equivalent to what could sustain numerous struggling households for months, highlights a glaring disparity between the clergy's ostentatious display of wealth and the dire realities faced by ordinary citizens.

The timing of the donation, amidst a backdrop of societal suffering exacerbated by government over-taxation, runaway inflation and a collapsing economy, underscores a lack of empathy and disconnect from the plight of Kenyans. While churches play a vital role in providing spiritual guidance and support, actions such as this risk alienating those in need and tarnishing the reputation of religious institutions as a whole.

Critics argue that Pastor Odero and his church have a moral obligation to prioritise the welfare of the community, channelling resources towards alleviating poverty, healthcare, education, and other pressing needs. Instead, the extravagant display of wealth sends a message of callousness and disregard for the struggles of the masses.

As voices of dissent grow louder across social media and within the local community, calls for accountability and transparency within religious organisations are gaining momentum. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the responsibility entrusted to spiritual leaders to act with compassion, integrity, and sensitivity towards the most vulnerable members of society.

In the face of adversity, solidarity and mutual support are imperative for navigating through challenging times. It is incumbent upon religious leaders like Pastor Odero to lead by example, embodying the values of humility, service, and solidarity, rather than perpetuating divisions through acts of opulence and extravagance. Only through collective action and a genuine commitment to social justice can Kenya hope to overcome its current hardships and build a more equitable and inclusive society.
