Mother Africa! Kenya, my Homeland! Yesterday, we wept for Congo. Today, we must open our eyes. The parasite is moving. It is already here. Poor western Kenya is the new home of the parasite.

They are looking for Kenya’s Patrice Lumumba! We know why Congo’s founding father Patrice Lumumba was assassinated by CIA. Congolese minerals for Congolese people mantra! He paid price with his life.

What is happening in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is not a distant tragedy. It is a dress rehearsal. The West is not “exiting” Congo because they are satisfied. They are exiting because the harvest is nearly complete. But a parasite does not leave its host. It finds a new host. And you, Kenya, are the freshest – most promising host on the continent. Rich in everything. The West needs to survive the next hundred years.

You want to know what the sudden, obsessive interest is all about. Note: the FBI setting up shop in Kenya. The French troops are arriving. The US is building a $70 million runway at Manda Bay at the coast. The “Major Non-NATO Ally” status. The pressure to accept an Ebola quarantine camp for Americans. It is not about counter-terrorism. It is not about public health. It is about securing the supply chain for the next industrial revolution. They are building a military fortress around your mineral wealth. Because deep beneath the soil of Kwale, Embu, Kitui and along the coast, we have discovered what they have been killing for in Congo. The new gold, what they found in Kenya.

The quarantine facilities are a red herring. Americans are setting up ‘gestation camps’ for resource exploitation in Kenya.

The world is moving to electric vehicles, AI and green energy. None of it works without critical minerals. And Kenya is sitting on a treasure chest.

At Mrima Hill in Kwale County, there are commercial deposits of rare earth elements and niobium estimated to be worth a staggering $62 billion (Ksh8.1 trillion) – enough to pay off Kenya’s foreign debt. These are the minerals that power defence systems, aerospace, electric vehicles and every smartphone on the planet. A US-backed consortium is already circling.

We have confirmed the discovery of coltan for the first time in Embu County. There have been discoveries too in Tana River and Elgeyo Marakwet. Coltan is the blood mineral of the Congo wars. It is essential for capacitors in phones, laptops and gaming consoles. Now it is here.

The cabinet declared 14 minerals, including lithium, cobalt, graphite, uranium and nickel as “strategic minerals” subject to government oversight. Lithium demand will increase five-fold by 2040. We have it. And Americans know it.

We discovered a gold reserve valued at over $5 billion in the Isulu-Bushiangala in Kakamega, western Kenya. Do not b cheated. There is a lot more gold in this part of the world. Kakamega and adjoining could just be the mythical El Dorado City that was mad of gold. The Kenyan government had to ‘manufacture’ poverty in the region with the backing of pliant local leadership.

That should tell you why so-called kingpins like Cotu Secretary-General Francis Atwoli, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and National Assembly Speaker ‘Namunyu’ Moses Wetang’ula will never pushback on President William Ruto unbridled greed to control the mining industry in the region. Now he has the backing of the US. Ebola quarantine centres in western Kenya are just a discreet staging ground for economic exploitation to follow.  Ruto is playing along!

They are not here to help you. They are here to secure their survival. And your survival is not part of the equation. The Parasite’s Strategy is always to Secure the Resource, Neutralise the People. Why the FBI? Why the military bases? Why the sudden “security cooperation”? Because they know that the only thing standing between them and your minerals is you.

An awakened populace. A leader who puts Kenya first. A government that demands local processing, local value addition and a fair share of the profits. They need Kenya stable enough to extract but not stable enough to develop. They need leaders who are obedient, not visionary. They will replace anyone who refuses to play the game.

You will not benefit from your resources. They will lock your PayPal accounts the moment you try to export value. Because an African getting rich is a threat to the system. Africa must donate. Africa must receive. Africa must remain dependent. They will regulate your money printing. They will control your data. They will decide who gets to be “verified.”

Because in their minds, what does an African need money for? You have minerals. They have the guns, the technology and the financial system. That is the new colonial contract.

This is not a conspiracy theory. This is a documented strategy. The ground was broken for the Ksh9 billion Manda Bay runway expansion in January 2026. The FBI director was in Nairobi in May 2026 discussing counter-terrorism and cyber fraud. The designation as a “Major Non-NATO Ally” was secured in 2024. The pieces are being moved into place. The infrastructure for extraction and export is being built. The military and intelligence apparatus is being embedded. And what are we doing?

We are distracted by political rallies, by fuel prices, by the drama of the day. We are celebrating foreign investment without reading the fine print. We are clapping for leaders who sell our sovereignty for a pat on the back from Washington.

The pattern is the same. First, they came for Congo. Now, they are coming for Kenya. If we do not wake up, if we do not demand local beneficiation, if we do not hold our leaders accountable, if we do not refuse to be the next sacrifice, our children will ask us the same question we ask about Congo today, or the same questions we keep asking our ancestors.

“Why did we allow this?” And our answer will be, “Because we let them. We trusted them, we let them decide for us because we believed they are better than us.
