Kisii Crowd Watched a Graduate Sit in the Middle of His Own Certificates


A man sat on a pavement in Kisii Town this week surrounded by his own academic papers, and people stopped to watch.


Footage shared by the TikTok account Nairobi Juice shows him seated on a street amid scattered documents, among them his KCSE results and his university degree papers. Bystanders and a motorcycle rider can be seen looking on. The video spread quickly online.


TUKO.co.ke, which reported the clip, read the scene as an act of desperation over his inability to find work. The man himself has not been quoted. The report gives no name, age, course or university for him, and does not say how long he has been job-hunting or whether anyone spoke to him at the scene. It also does not say what the onlookers did.


The report places the clip against a wider problem. It says the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics treats youth unemployment as one of the country’s most persistent economic concerns, with many degree holders unable to find jobs that match their qualifications. It gives no figures.


Viewers reacted in different ways. Some expressed sympathy, while others offered blunt advice. The report calls the scene a symbol of what many graduates face after years of study.


What the footage establishes is narrow: a man, a pavement and a pile of documents. Why he put them there is something only he can say.

Ruto Ally Turns Against Kindiki, Says He Only Campaigns in Meru Villages

 Ruto Ally Turns Against Kindiki, Says He Only Campaigns in Meru Villages Confusion has emerged in Kenya Kwanza after Ruto's ally turned against Deputy President Kithure Kindiki.

Miguna Miguna's Latest Reports: The NIS and KK paid bloggers, including those pretending to be protesters, are desperately trying to cause divisions

  Miguna Miguna recently made a statement regarding the actions of the Kenya Kwaza government, alleging that they are actively seeking out individuals to disrupt the protests of the Gen Zs. According to Miguna Miguna, the National Intelligence Service (NIS) and the Kenya Kwaza (KK) have resorted to paying bloggers, some of whom are posing as protesters, in an attempt to sow discord and create divisions within the protesting community.

Two Camps, One Region: The Mt Kenya Split Kindiki Has to Navigate

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki's political problem in Mt Kenya is not one rival but two. According to the story, the region is divided between a side allied to former President Uhuru Kenyatta and another allied to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Each camp has put up political resistance to Kindiki, and the story says that has made his time in the region difficult. The story describes a possible way out. Elders are reportedly working behind the scenes to reconcile Uhuru, Kindiki and Gachagua, with the aim of unity in Mt Kenya and beyond. If that effort succeeded, the story argues, it could reopen the region to the ruling UDA and help President William Ruto win votes there again. The route to that outcome is long. The story presents the reconciliation as something that could happen, not something under way between the leaders themselves. It names no elders, gives no timeline, and quotes none of the three men on whether they are open to talks. Until one of them says so, th...
