I visited Davis Lichuma at Nairobi Women Hospital today.
He’s not able to talk.
You don’t need to be told what he’s gone through.
His frequent tremors when asleep, most likely “post traumatic stress disorders” (PTSDs), tells it all.
Davis has been tortured.
This is not hind it must be held accountable. We cannot be a nation that tortures, maims and kills its youth just because they seek good governance.

Just seeing the RCT 'scandal' brewing among econs again. This is not a question about some bad apples or some instances of malpractice. The RCT industry has been completely distorted from its inception in Econ and this is closely tied to the incentive structure of the discipline.
