America just announced Operation Ghostbusters, a crackdown on "ghost students" who steal real people's identities, enrol them in college and apply for federal student aid in their name. When the fees are paid, the leftover money vanishes "often overseas to places like Kenya" 😳 Five people charged, $750,000 in crypto seized, and the DOJ calls it the first international seizure of its kind in Kenya. We watch the US coverage together and ask the uncomfortable question: is this how the world now sees Kenyans? And is the "work smart, soft life" Instagram dream worth an American jail cell?
Before that: El Niño has arrived in Nairobi and South C is already under sewage water two nights in a row. After it: the "united" opposition is already fighting on top of cars. Malala says the quiet part about Sifuna at Wamunyoro, Wiper fires back "Malala aende asiende", and Gachagua keeps his distance. Is Sifuna even ready to run without the money and without Riggy G? Then the High Court strikes down Ruto's promise of 20% of affordable housing units for teachers, while the opposition promises houses to the police before 2027.
