There is something the local politicians on tv in US I see doing called Town Halls. I believe similar thing we have here would be a baraza. Where you have an opportunity to go and abuse your mhesh and tell him hes meffi and next election hes facing the sack.
Last one i heard huku kibera time ya elections. And I’m not talking about meeting za funerals, laying of foundation stone or Guest of Honor at a fundraiser for goats.
Has anyone gone to one of these to listen to their local elected leaders’ strategies, complaints etc?

We also have town hall meetings at work, where all employees are invited to vent their all, frustrations included to upper management without fear of reprisals.

At the next town hall meeting the previous meetings’ resolutions are brought up again. I usually attend for the free dinner and to watch people get triggered.

A pair of 4-megaton hydrogen bombs, each more than 250 times more powerful than the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima, broke off a damaged B-52 over North Carolina. One of the bombs disintegrated upon impact, but the other floated down beneath its parachute and armed itself. It was later found in a field outside Goldsboro, North Carolina, with three of its four safety mechanisms tripped or rendered ineffective by the plane’s breakup. Had the fourth switch flipped, a vast section of eastern North Carolina would have been destroyed, and nuclear fallout might have descended on Washington, DC, and New York City. “The reason it’s worth th…”
