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.

Summit Somersault: William Ruto Bitterly Mocked For Attending Korea-Africa Summit



In a dramatic turn of events, Kenya's President William Ruto has left tongues wagging and keyboards clacking after his sudden appearance at the Korea-Africa Summit in Seoul.

The move has left many askance, given Ruto's previous grandstanding against what he termed as "African leaders' globetrotting antics."

Just last year, Ruto was the darling of Africa's elite, earning applause and nods of approval as he lambasted fellow African leaders for their penchant for jet-setting across the globe. His impassioned speeches calling for summits to be held on African soil seemed to strike a chord with many, promising a new era of continental collaboration without the baggage of international travel.
"It is not intelligent," he told business mogul Mo Ibrahim, amidst a near-standing ovation, "for 54 African Presidents to go and sit before one President from another country for a summit. In fact, sometimes we're mistreated, huddled in buses like school children."
However, in a plot twist that could rival the best political dramas, Ruto himself has become the very embodiment of the vice he once scorned.

His presence at the Seoul summit has sparked a flurry of memes and satirical cartoons across social media, with many wondering if Ruto's memory has conveniently suffered a case of diplomatic amnesia.

Critics have wasted no time in pointing out the stark irony of Ruto's about-face, with some suggesting that perhaps he's taken a crash course in aerial geography or developed a sudden fondness for in-flight meals. Others speculate that Ruto's sudden change of heart could be attributed to a newfound appreciation for the cultural delights of Seoul, from kimchi to K-pop. Or, perhaps, as First Lady Rachel Ruto once suggested, he's there to experience "the great move of God" which, she argues, has seen South Korea leave Kenya in its wake in terms of development and industrialisation. Only God knows. After all, as Ruto haughtily informed the Koreans very early in his nascent presidency, "those who believe in God won."
But in the court of public opinion, Ruto's credibility has taken a hit, with his erstwhile supporters left shaking their heads in disbelief. It's a cautionary tale for politicians everywhere: beware the pitfalls of political posturing, lest you find yourself caught in the web of your own contradictions.

As Ruto navigates the choppy waters of international diplomacy, one thing is for certain: the saga of his summit somersault will be etched into the annals of Kenyan political lore, a cautionary tale of irony, hypocrisy, and the perils of forgetting one's own words.

Whether Ruto emerges unscathed or battered and bruised remains to be seen, but one thing's for sure: the internet never forgets, and neither do the people.
