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

BREAKING NEWS: #TotalRecall: Why We Don’t Need to Wait Until 2027 to Deal with Judas MPs Who Will Vote for the Finance Bill 2024



As the Finance Bill 2024 approaches its first reading in Parliament on Tuesday, 18th June, the urgency for civic action has never been greater.

This bill from Satan, which threatens to impose punitive taxes and austerity measures, underscores a growing disconnect between our elected representatives and the citizenry they are sworn to serve. Yet, contrary to popular belief, we don't have to wait until the next general elections in 2027 to hold these Judas MPs accountable.

The Constitution of Kenya (promulgated 2010) provides a clear, robust, and powerful mechanism for recalling Judas MPs who betray public trust.

Why the Finance Bill 2024 Must Be Stopped
The Finance Bill 2024, drafted from start to finish by the IMF and World Bank, proposes several controversial measures, including increased taxes on essential goods and services.

These measures threaten to exacerbate the economic hardships faced by millions of Kenyans, particularly the most vulnerable. By increasing the cost of living without corresponding improvements in public services, the bill represents a betrayal of the social contract between Ruto's government and Kenyans.

The Recall Mechanism: A Constitutional Right
Article 104 of the Constitution of Kenya empowers citizens to recall their MPs before the end of their term on specific grounds: gross misconduct, serious violation of the Constitution, or failure to represent the interests of the electorate.
Constitution of Kenya
104. Right of recall

(1) The electorate under Articles 97 and 98 have the right to recall the member of Parliament representing their constituency before the end of the term of the relevant House of Parliament.

(2) Parliament shall enact legislation to provide for the grounds on which a member may be recalled and the procedure to be followed.
This provision is a testament to the foresight of the framers of our Constitution, heralded as one of the most progressive globally, ensuring that democracy remains dynamic and responsive to the will of the people.

How the Recall Process Works

1. Grounds for Recall: To initiate a recall, constituents must believe that their MP has engaged in gross misconduct, violated the Constitution, or failed to represent their interests effectively. This is not a decision to be taken lightly but one necessitated by severe breaches of public trust, e.g. passing the Finance Bill 2024.

2. Petition Initiation: Constituents must draft a petition clearly outlining the reasons for the recall (e.g. passing the Finance Bill 2024).

This petition must be signed by at least 30% of the registered voters in the constituency. It is essential that the reasons are compelling (e.g. voting for the Finance Bill 2024) and supported by evidence to withstand scrutiny.

3. Signature Collection: Mobilising support for the recall petition requires extensive grassroots engagement. Volunteers must reach out to registered voters, explaining the reasons for the recall (e.g. voting for the Finance Bill 2024) and gathering signatures. This process demands organisation, transparency, and dedication.

4. Verification by IEBC: Once the petition has the required number of signatures, it is submitted to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) for verification. The IEBC checks the validity of the signatures and ensures that the grounds for recall (e.g. voting for the Finance Bill 2024) meet constitutional criteria.

5. By-election: If the IEBC validates the petition, the MP is effectively recalled, triggering a by-election. This by-election provides an opportunity for constituents to elect a new representative who genuinely reflects their interests and values.

Preparing for the Recall Campaign
A successful recall campaign requires meticulous planning and widespread support. Here’s a step-by-step guide to organising an effective recall effort:

1. Organisational Framework: Form local committees in each constituency affected by the Finance Bill 2024. These committees should consist of dedicated citizens, community leaders, and legal experts.

2. Awareness Campaign: Use town hall meetings, social media, and local media outlets to inform constituents about the recall process and the detrimental impacts of the Finance Bill 2024. Clear, accessible communication is vital to garnering support.

3. Legal Consultation: Work closely with legal experts to ensure that the petition and recall process adhere to all constitutional requirements. This includes preparing for potential legal challenges from MPs seeking to block the recall.

4. Community Engagement: Engage with civil society organisations, trade unions, and grassroots movements to amplify the recall campaign. Broad-based support is crucial for demonstrating the legitimacy and urgency of the recall effort. 

5. Media Strategy: Develop a comprehensive media strategy to highlight the recall campaign. Use press releases, op-eds, and investigative journalism to keep the issue in the public eye and maintain pressure on MPs.

The Power of Immediate Action
Waiting until 2027 to address the failings of MPs passing the Finance Bill 2024 is not an option.

The recall mechanism is a powerful tool that allows us to hold our representatives accountable in real time. It ensures that MPs remain responsive to the needs and concerns of their constituents, rather than becoming complacent or disconnected and supporting the whims of the globalist elite who Ruto has decided to enter bed with.

Time for Action is NOW!
The Finance Bill 2024 represents a tipping point for Kenyan democracy. It is a test of our collective resolve to uphold the principles of accountability and representative governance.

By invoking the recall mechanism, we can demonstrate that the power truly lies with the people. Let us act now to recall MPs who support this egregious bill and reaffirm our commitment to a government that serves the interests of all Kenyans.

Call to Action
Join the #TotalRecall movement today! Mobilise your community, sign the petition, and stand up for accountability. Together, we can ensure that our voices are heard and our rights are protected. The time for talking to these fools is over; now is the time for decisive action!
