I get really psyched when I read/hear things like this. It gives me hope because these wonderful minds are passionate about Kenya and I really do believe that because of this we’ll experience a different, wonderful Kenya..someday. After all, looking at the histories of countries around the world, change mostly occurred in the presence of anger and passion from fed up citizens. We may be angry enough
So, well done Njoki ..And kudos to the kuweni serious team. Love and blessings

I love what she says in this clip. She is right, violence equals bloodshed: bloodshed cannot fix our problems. It will be like taking one step forward and ten steps back.

The thought that 2012 is approaching with no true reform in the Government is one of the most scariest thoughts that can cross anyone’s mind. Is it truly possible that so many lives were lost and Streets flooded with blood, and yet No true Change was established?? I applaud the effort that came with the Vijana tu gutuke Campaign, But what is the core of our problems?? why do we as a country so easily succumb to defeat and resign ourselves to silence, hoping that the person next door will be the Catalyst for change? having been away from home limits my perception of the Political scene.Similar to Njoki, I quit reading the Newspapers because it literally disgusted me to watch the politicians use my country as their play ground.The question is, what will the fed up Citizens do???

There is something very provoking about hearing and watching another person I know point out the truth like that. Thanks Njoki and Kuweni Serious guys, your work IS making a difference.
