🔥 Episode Overview:
In this hard-hitting episode of Fanya Mambo, host Sarah Mwangi sits down with Kan Maiyo, a Kenyan citizen recently arrested by DCI officers for allegedly inciting violence — and Nobert Mburu, a lead researcher at Odipo Dev.
Together, they explore the chilling rise of fear, repression, and surveillance in Kenya.
“The state has lost the information war. How do you respond to a tweet with a bullet?” – Kan Maiyo
⚖️ Key Issues Explored:
- Police Brutality & Arbitrary Arrests:
Kan Maiyo shares his shocking experience of being arrested for speaking out against police brutality — and what happened inside DCI headquarters. - The State of Fear in Kenya:
Nobert Mburu presents findings from a new national study showing that over 76% of Kenyans feel unsafe expressing political views online, and 44% fear abduction. - The Breakdown of Public Trust:
The episode reveals how Kenya’s leadership is ignoring citizen pain, criminalizing dissent, and relying on outdated governance models that no longer work for a younger, more informed population. - The Failure of National Intelligence & Information Strategy:
Arresting random TikTokers is not intelligence. Suppression isn’t governance. - The Church’s Silence:
Kan Maiyo, a church leader, boldly calls out religious institutions for abandoning their prophetic role in holding the state accountable. - The Call for Constitutional Literacy:
Why Kenya’s future depends on embedding constitutional studies into the school curriculum — from Grade 1.
📢 Not Just Protest — A Revolution in Progress
The guests argue that Kenya is already in a revolution — not one of guns, but of awareness, digital resistance, and shifting power. The power no longer lies with the state. It lies with the people.
“We used to respond to the government’s decisions. Today, they are responding to ours.”
