What is a title deed? It is not the land. It is the legitimacy of her majesty the queen to own and decide what happens with land.
Corruption doesn't start at the public purse. It starts at the basic idea that people can be stupidly rich from no work of their own, but of others.
So until we deal with the monstrosity of the title deed, we will not fundamentally address corruption in Kenya.
What is a title deed? It is not the land. It is the legitimacy of her majesty the queen to own and decide what happens with land.
The problem is, who gave the queen the authority to guarantee use of the land?
What is an enclosure, and why is it a form of corruption?
The next day, you go to the forest to hunt or to pick firewood, you find that I've put askaris at the entrance to the forest. You're told that you cant enter unless you pay an entrance fee.
As who? You ask?
Ah, Bishop Fulani annointed her the other day in church as God's custodian of the forest. So she owns it by divine right. If you want to use the forest, you have to pay to enter.
And he points a spear at you.
Askari says: Unaweza ingia basi, but whatever you get from the forest, a portion of it must go to Madame.
Now before Madame put the askaris at the forest, you used to pick dry sticks and just enough for your family.
You give me your tax. And so does everyone else. So I receive firewood, building materials and meat without doing any work myself.
Since I dont work, I'm bored. So I pay people to make magnificent clothes for me, entertainers to sing my praises.
I'm getting to the title deed.
Hiyo ndiyo title deed.
And you pay me, of course.
That's colonialism.
Now, eventually this system becomes too much. You are working more but getting hungrier and hungrier. You're starting to ask questions. I get a few of the noisemakers speared, but it makes you even more bitter.
What do I do?
I give you elections to pick a council which will decide what is done with the resources from the forests.
So you vote for my puppets.
Those people whom you voted as politicians and appointed as civil servants to distribute resources from the forest?
Ha ha. You idiots. They get close to me, and decide to be rich like me by taking a cut from your resources which they were to distribute.
There would be no government for you to elect if I didn't need to protect myself from your anger from this system where I grab the forest and coopt sell outs into this theft by using title deeds.

I have said all I have to say on #BBIreport, which is:
1. It's a waste of Kenyan's time and precious intellect to spend it on the tantrums of malignant narcissists. We should be working where our talent and skills call us to, but we're doing damage control and #bullshitjobs.
We have to have a country where Ndii's talent is used for our economy, not on campaigning to protect Kenya from Muigai's latest tantrums. Or where doctors are employed and working, not doing locums or being jobless while Cuban doctors get cars. #bbireport
2. The political class is useless. It has no talent or skills, and it cant work. It is always looking for ways to make Kenyans work and performing rituals of power and relevance that kill enough of us to truamatize the rest of us. That's all #BBIreport is.
3. Our youth are are either underemployed or in #bullshitjobs, or being told to be entrepreneurs, only for KRA to invent new taxes and GoK to invent laws to protect cartels. #BBIreport attributes youth's problems to ethnicity and says solution is power sharing by the dynasties.
4. I don't think I can say anything more about #BBIreport than I've already said. The BBI-stans have no argument, and have been resorting to force, emotional blackmail and ultimatums. They have the force of the state but I have what they crave and will never give: my acceptance.

I will use this thread to explain the concept of "administrative bloat."
Administrative bloat is the employing of so many managers and supervisors, paying them excess salaries, while the people who do the actual work don't get employed or paid.
That is the government of Kenya.
Since the time of GoK's mother the colonial government, and its grandmother the British East Africa company, the role of the state is to control workers, control our work and its produce, and send it up the foodchain through chiefs, paramount chiefs all the way to London.
One of the cultural lies these parasistes have sold to us is that the only work that can be exploited is where there is a tangible product like tea or coffee. No. These exploit EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING. Health, education, faith, religion...EVERTYHING.
Elites are parasites. They can't work, won't work. How do they live, then? From taking away the work that we do. They use the state (especially weapons) to threaten us, and they get bureaucrats and managers to distract workers and push the loot up the gravy train.
That is why the less the elites work, the more bureaucrats the employ to protect them from direct contact with us "peasants." That's the function of civil servants. To steal our work on behalf of the elite, while conning us that we're working out of national duty.

Being a doctor under the Jubilee Government should be listed in the 1000 days to die.
A colleague went to school for 6 years after passing their KCSE.
The 6 year struggle ends and alas you are Dr naniii.

POTUS calling out the Justice Department as corrupt.
To be clear, I would distinguish between regular employees of the Justice Department and the decisions made officially. It's important to do this.
It is also worth noting that "federal agents can be sued for putting Muslim men on the no-fly list in alleged retaliation for their refusal to cooperate with counterterrorism
"The decision, a rare expansion of personal liability for law-enforcement misconduct, was one of four unanimous rulings the court issued Thursday"
"The court also found that there is no statute of limitations on when rape charges can be filed in the armed services"
IF Biden gets in, nothing will happen to Hunter or Joe. Barr will do nothing, and the new group of partisan killers coming in will quickly kill it all. Same thing with Durham. We caught them cold, spying, treason & more (the hard part), but \u201cJustice\u201d took too long. Will be DOA!

Moats should be:
- Hard to learn and hard to do (but perhaps easier for you)
- Skills that are rare and valuable
- Legible
- Compounding over time
