Providing @PoliceKE and @APSKenya with a housing allowance so that they find their own accommodation is a fundamental win for Kenyans.
@PoliceKE@APSKenya First, the allowance will allow our brothers and sisters in uniform to transition from living in tin cans into reasonable accommodations.
@PoliceKE@APSKenya Second: because the allowance is low, most police officers will move into the poorer neighborhoods of the towns and cities. They, and their families will live within the slums.
They will enhance slum security, as well as end indiscriminate extra judicial murders.
@PoliceKE@APSKenya Third, an important consequence of @PoliceKE and @APSKenya households residing especially in slum areas is that they will no longer obey illegal orders to clobber citizens during political disagreements.
Who knows, that #BabyPendo could be another officer's kin.
@PoliceKE@APSKenya Finally, because @PoliceKE and @APSKenya officers will be forced by the reality of renting to live in the poorer neighbourhoods, they will have to adapt to reduced extortion of their neighbours, and to treat them with enhanced dignity and decorum.
George Washington, First US president, was a slaveholder. As were the Columbians who founded Washington DC.
No one reasonable expects a University, named after George Washington, to keep history that unequivocally puts the White man at blame for #slavery.
Hence this excuse that "During this era, Africans and Europeans stood together as equals, companions in commerce and profit".
Indeed, the first question off the top of the head is: so, when did these 'equals' in commerce and profit turn into full humans on one hand and 3/5ths of a human on the other?
Can you see the folly in this history? Westerners have never seen Africans as equals. And, in 1750?
