Comedienne Mammito has gotten Kenyans talking with a satirical video that uses a children's phonics lesson to highlight some of the country's biggest political, economic and social challenges.
Through a simple alphabet exercise, she delivers sharp commentary on issues ranging from corruption and public debt to police brutality and the high cost of living.
Mammito, whose full name is Eunice Mammito Wanjiku, is known for blending humour with relatable everyday experiences while tackling social issues that resonate with audiences.
In her latest skit, she transforms a familiar preschool learning format into biting political satire, condensing years of national frustrations into a short but impactful performance.
The video, shared on Wednesday, July 22, features Mammito and another woman enthusiastically reciting the alphabet in the cheerful style of a children's educational programme.
Dressed in a bright pink long-sleeve top, blue dungarees and a pink hair bow, Mammito recreates the signature look of popular American children's educator and YouTuber Ms Rachel, who is widely known for her colourful outfits and educational nursery rhyme videos.
Surrounded by a playful classroom-style setting, the pair creates a deliberate contrast between the light-hearted presentation and the serious issues they discuss.

The lesson begins with, "A is for abduction, B for bribe, C for corruption and D for debt."
They continue with, "F is for Finance Bill, G for Gen Z," before adding "jobless," followed by "M for Mandamano."
The sequence goes on with "N for Njaanuary, P for poteza watoto, R for rigged election," followed by a pointed reference to "the IEBC servers," and "T for teargas kwa macho."
As the alphabet draws to a close, the duo rounds off the lesson with, "W for wantam, X for xenophobia, Y for Yesu saidia and Z for zukisha mafuta," reinforcing the sketch's message that the country's challenges cut across every aspect of daily life.
The clip quickly gained traction on social media, with many viewers praising its originality and fearless social commentary.
Others described it as both hilarious and painfully accurate, saying Mammito had managed to summarise complex national issues in less than two minutes.
