The Real Divide in Kenya: The Elites vs. The Poor Masses
The division in Kenya is glaring, yet it often gets overshadowed by superficial narratives. It’s not about tribes; it’s about two groups—the rich elites and the struggling masses. The elites have long established a system where their wealth and power continue to grow, while you, the majority, are left behind. In this system, the country’s resources are funneled into the hands of a few, ensuring that their children and grandchildren inherit the positions of power. They’ve convinced you that your struggles are due to your ethnicity, background, or class, but the reality is that the system they created keeps you locked in perpetual poverty.
The Elites’ Control Over Kenya’s System
The elites have perfected the art of control. They understand that as long as they keep you divided, they can maintain their grip on the country’s wealth. Every election, they offer you hollow promises of a better future, but these promises are quickly forgotten once they secure their power. Schools remain underfunded, hospitals lack basic supplies, and roads are riddled with potholes. Meanwhile, the rich continue to amass wealth, and the poor remain trapped in an endless cycle. This system ensures that the next generation of elites inherits the wealth, leaving your children to face the same hardships.
They rely on a divide-and-conquer strategy to maintain control, convincing you that your problems lie with your neighbor’s ethnicity or tribe. They’ve used this tactic for years, keeping you distracted, fighting against each other while they loot the nation’s resources. But this is the lie you must expose. The true enemy isn’t your neighbor; it’s the system the elites have built. The only way to break free is to unite and fight back against the real source of your struggles.
The Power of Unity: Breaking the Elites’ Stranglehold
Unity isn’t just about protests or rallies; it’s about recognizing that your struggle is the same as your neighbor’s. To break free from the elites’ grasp, you need to come together to demand a fair share of the country’s resources. Imagine a future where your children don’t have to face the same hardships you’ve endured. Start small—talk with your community, share ideas, frustrations, and hopes. Understand that your problems are systemic, and the only way to change them is by standing together.
The elites have succeeded in convincing you that your fight is with each other. But once you realize that your true fight is against them, you begin to take back the power they’ve stolen from you.
Taking Action: Creating Change from the Ground Up
You can no longer afford to wait for change. It’s time for you to create that change. Organize your community, collaborate with local leaders, and form groups with like-minded individuals who are ready to fight for a better future. The elites will fight back, using their wealth and power to suppress your voice, but you are stronger than they realize. Your unity, your collective refusal to accept their lies, is the weapon they fear the most. When you begin to fight back, they will realize that their control over you is crumbling.
Taking action isn’t just about voting in the next election. It’s about rejecting the corruption that has plagued the country for decades. Refuse to accept the system they’ve built and stop participating in the lies they perpetuate. Every tax you pay, every hour you work contributes to their wealth. But you have the power to take that away. The more you withdraw your support, the more they lose their grip on power. But it’s not enough to stop; you need to create alternatives. Build community-run businesses, schools, and healthcare centers. Don’t rely on the corrupt system. Create your own systems—ones that serve the people, not just the elites.
The Elites’ Fear of Losing Control
Of course, the elites will fight back. They’ll use their wealth to silence you. They’ll try to paint you as troublemakers or rebels, as people who are breaking the peace. But the truth is, they are scared. They fear the day you realize that they no longer control you. That day is coming, and the more you organize, the more you speak out, the more they will fear your collective strength.
Their control is built on fear, and the moment you stop fearing them, you start to win.
You’re Not Alone: Strength in Numbers
You’re not alone in this fight. The struggles you face are shared by millions of others. The elites may want you to believe that the system is immovable, but that’s a lie. The more you unite, the more you can accomplish. The strength of your unity is unstoppable. You don’t have to wait for a leader to guide you; you are the leaders you’ve been waiting for. Every time you speak out, every time you stand up to the system, you take away a piece of the power they’ve amassed.
This won’t be easy, and it won’t happen overnight. But it will happen. The more you push back, the more you’ll chip away at the system they’ve built. Together, you can create a country where power and wealth are shared by all—not just the elites.
The Fight Is Not Just for You, But for Future Generations
This fight is not just for you—it’s for your children and every future generation. You cannot allow them to inherit the same system of corruption and inequality that has kept you oppressed. Your children deserve a better future, one where they can thrive without being weighed down by the burden of a corrupt system. If you don’t act now, they’ll face the same struggles you did. But if you unite, if you fight, if you take action, you will change the course of history.
Take Control: Your Power Is in Your Hands
The elites will try to make you believe that change is impossible, that you must accept the way things are. But you do have a choice. You always have. When you rise together, when you unite as one, nothing can stop you. Your collective will is unstoppable. The elites are on borrowed time, and they know it. They’re only powerful as long as you allow them to be.
The struggle will be long, and the sacrifices will be great. But the rewards will be worth it. You have the power to reclaim what has been stolen from you. You have the power to reclaim your country. The future is in your hands, and it’s time to make it count.
It’s time to rise above the divisions they’ve created. It’s time to take back the wealth that rightfully belongs to all of you. It’s time to unite, to fight, and to create a country that works for the people, not just the few at the top. The time for change is now.
