Kenyans
We have to understand that this government doesnt have any policy in mind apart from tourism and real estate. And in 1961, Frantz Fanon warned us that the evidence of the intellectual bankruptcy of our elites is their obsession with the relaxation of wazungu.

To focus on the relaxation of foreigners and the dollars they will bring, the native elites behave as if we Africans don't exist. Whether we're being murdered, we're getting sick, the job of GoK is to put a front to the rest of the world that Kenya is open for dollars.
In 2008 during PEV, the government and the media was not worried about Kenyans being killed; it was worried that tourists might see us fighting and think we're n---'s like other African countries. When PEV ended, Kibaki's first job was to wash Kenya's reputation for tourists.
To do that, he hired a South African PR firm to basically make Kenyan people as invisible as possible to investors. #magicalkenya https://www.theelephant.info/features/2018/08/16/invisible-citizens-branding-kenya-for-foreign-investors-and-tourists/
Then in 2015, together with World Bank, the Gates Foundation and other private investors, GoK started destroying our healthcare by frustrating our doctors in public hospitals. For business people, we Africans don't need trained doctors. We need clincical officers and vaccines.
Just like those racist scientists who think we are a testing lab, these business people think we Africans are too unworthy to be treated by doctors. Doctors are for money, our health is less valuable than $$$ which doctors can bring by treating tourists. https://www.trademarkea.com/news/ktb-to-market-kenya-as-medical-destination-to-boost-tourism/
So while your government is committing doctors to tourists, ordinary people who are cancer patients and can't afford 700 bob are forced to die an excruciating death. Remember #savingEsther, and imagine if you were Esther or her sister.
And if you still have a heart to empathize with them (because these days I think Kenyans are too traumatized to be bothered), imagine how you would have felt knowing that the oncologist who could have treated you is at home waiting for a hotel to open at @KNH_hospital
But these GoK people don't care. They know only two things: land and tourists. So they've now sold of @KNH_hospital. Some guys call it a private hospital to raise money for the public one, but really it's about tourists and stealing the market from Nairobi hospital next door.
When they saw the land near the Traffic Police, they calculated not the Kenyans who could be treated but the billions in the land price. Then they got @IEAKenya to cook up some story in githeri media to justify the theft. https://twitter.com/wmnjoya/status/1198496659094884353?s=20
Now Kenyans have gotten used to government announcing money when it can't solve problems. That's why we get seduced by the idea that raising money will improve services. But this thread explains why money doesnt automatically solve public problems. https://twitter.com/wmnjoya/status/1189498387709808641?s=20
