As I watch my fellow Kenyans march and fight the impunities of the system, yes, I feel pride. I boast about how we Kenyans are a breed unlike another in Africa. We are powerful in our own right and even though we don't achieve the whole goal, we achieve more than any of our African counterparts.

I, very much like the mother of dragons in Game of Thrones, feel like there is no end to this cycle. Remember when she told Tyrion “I'm not going to stop the wheel, I'm going to break the wheel”? The wheel being a metaphor for the elite and powerful. When we keep replacing the same people with the same last names and ideologies, we will keep repeating the same cycles.

I look at the elected politicians and the appointed government officials and I lose any kind of hope we might have in the future we are fighting for. None of them is fit to be our leader. None of them is there to work and represent the people. They are the same rotting bunch that go into power to serve their own agendas.

I have said this multiple times: I don't care how much freedom Raila Odinga fought for, he no longer serves a purpose for our generations. He cannot see eye to eye with us because he can never understand our struggles.

I warned Kenyans multiple times about the nonsensical ideology of the ‘hustler nation’. An ideology coined by a man whose accumulation of wealth is as dubious as British-owned diamonds. A man who was accused of playing a key role in our 2007-08 post-election violence.

Every time I see an old political name trying to snake their way back into the voter's good graces, I cannot help but fear for the future. Because I already know what will happen… We will give yet another sketchy character a chance to lead Kenyans because they filled our heads with nonsensical promises and ideas. Then two years later, we will be back on the streets, marching at the deception we endured.

From the moment we voted for the likes of Sonko and Joho, I knew we were done for. Uneducated folks who had no reasonable accounts of how they procured their wealth. They mesmerised us with their wealth and connection to the youth, and we saw what happened after. I don't believe that whoever joins politics now has the intention of just serving. Which is what being a civil servant is all about.

We vote for the people who run us off the roads with their luxury taxpayer-funded fuel guzzlers. We vote for the people who call us thieves and hooligans, and we vote for the people who call for us to be shot when we protest injustice.

The system is rotten. Our mentalities are rotten. We are rotten. If we really want change, then we have to uproot the whole tree, diseased roots and all. We have to stop being gullible by being used for votes. We have to stop thinking that by changing one person or two, the whole system will change. We have to stop this vicious cycle. We have come way too far and have lost way too much to keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
