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. This disturbing information was uncovered in a damning report by Citizen Lab, a digital rights watchdog based at the Un

Love, Politics, and Impeachment: The Unraveling Saga of Mithika Linturi's Misfortunes

In a riveting tale that could rival the juiciest of soap operas, Agriculture CS Mithika Linturi finds himself ensnared in a labyrinth of love, politics, fake fertiliser, and now, the looming spectre of impeachment.
As the motion to oust him from office gains momentum in Parliament, a cast of colourful characters, including Members of Parliament from across the political spectrum, have thrown their weight behind the effort to remove him from his ministerial post.
Leading the charge is Bumula MP Jack Wamboka, whose sponsorship of the impeachment motion has ignited a political firestorm. But he's not alone in his quest to hold Linturi accountable. A motley crew of MPs from various parties have joined forces, signalling widespread discontent with the embattled minister.

From Joyce Kamene of Machakos County to Paul Musyimi Nzengu of Mwingi North, the list reads like a who's who of Kenya's political landscape. With names like Julius Musili Mawathe of Embakasi South and Yusuf Mohammed Farah of Wajir West lending their support, it's clear that Linturi's troubles extend far beyond party lines.

But perhaps the most damning blow comes from within his own party, with fellow members such as Dick Oyugi Maungu of Luanda and David Losiakou Pkosing of Pokot South throwing their weight behind the impeachment effort. Most instructively, however, his estranged wife, now MP for Aldai, is among this band. It's a stunning rebuke that underscores the depth of the minister's political isolation. Hell, they say, hath no fury.

Yet, amid the political turmoil, it's Linturi's personal life that has captured the nation's attention. The sensational revelations of his romantic escapades with then Deputy President William Ruto's Chief of Staff, Marianne Kitany, when he should have been in Parliament to lead the impeachment charge against former Devolution CS Anne Waiguru, a motion he himself sponsored, have added a layer of scandal to an already tumultuous saga. From clandestine trysts at Sopa Lodge to courtroom dramas, the twists and turns of Linturi's love life have come full circle, and now it's his turn to face the executioner.

But as his own impeachment proceedings unfold, one can't help but wonder: Is fate finally catching up with Mithika Linturi? From failed attempts to oust Devolution CS Anne Waiguru to the current push to remove him from office, it seems that the minister's luck may have finally run out.

As he navigates the treacherous waters of love and politics, Linturi must confront the consequences of his actions. Will he emerge unscathed, or is this the beginning of the end for the beleaguered CS? Only time will tell, but one thing's for certain: the drama is far from over in the tumultuous world of Franklin Mithika Linturi.
