episode KENYA'S MEMORY CRISIS : ANATOMY OF A FLIP-FLOP | KWTW cover

Beskrivelse

"In this episode of The Kenyan Week That Was, we perform a forensic analysis of political flip-flopping in Kenya using Hon. Gathoni wa Muchomba's recent political journey as a case study. This is not a personal attack—it's a diagnosis of a system that rewards opportunism and punishes consistency. From the anatomy of a politician to the physics of flip-flopping, we examine why shape-shifting has become the dominant survival strategy in Kenyan politics. Disclaimer: This episode critiques political behavior and systemic issues, not individuals. All statements are based on public information and documented events.

episode The Romance of the Life President cover

The Romance of the Life President

Francis Atwoli wants to remove presidential term limits. A major industrialist wants the president to stay for 25 years. Bishops are calling leaders "anointed by God." In 2026, Kenya's elite are openly fantasizing about life presidencies—and they're not even trying to hide it. This week on KWTW, we investigate how "strongman worship" gets normalized, who benefits from indefinite rule, and what ordinary Kenyans lose when democracy becomes optional. From Atwoli's shocking TV statements to the tycoon endorsement model, from KANU-era nostalgia to regional cautionary tales—we're breaking down the playbook. Because Article 142 of the Constitution isn't a suggestion. It's a promise we made to ourselves in 2010: Never again. 💬 What do you think? Are term limits essential to democracy, or do they limit "transformative leadership"? Let's discuss—but keep it civil. 👍 If this analysis was useful, please like and share. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly deep dives into Kenyan politics. --- KWTW is an independent investigative documentary series.
