Omar Artan didn’t just make the #FIFAWorldCup, he made history as the first Somali referee to get there, and as #Africa’s best. That milestone stands no matter what. So sorry to see this, Omar. You reached the summit of your profession and inspired a generation back home just by getting there, and being kept off the pitch you earned doesn’t change that. This won’t be the end of your story on the world stage. The world stands with you as one family, wishing you resilience now and many more major finals to come. Solidarity. #Somalia
A flawed process can only produce a flawed outcome. No fair hearing, no fair outcome. The only remedy in such a case is for the court to void the process and its outcome, and order the decision-maker (Senate in this case) to make a fresh decision.
Under Article 25(c) of the constitution, the right to fair trial is a non-derogable right. So how can the court make quasi constitutional excuses on amorphous grounds in its refusal to set aside the impeachment of Hon Rigathi Gachagua? The Gachagua judgment in my humble opinion is on a shaky, shallow, soggy and sandy soil.
All roads lead to Wajir, North Eastern Kenya for Madaraka Day celebrations tomorrow, insha Allah. The oldest & most beautiful city in the North. The cradle of NE Kenya political movements in the 1960s. A first in many ways. The transformation is astounding. Special thanks to all those leaders who made it happen. @HEAhmedJiir@WilliamsRuto
PS in charge of internal security Dr. Raymond Omollo always posts sleek and amazing roads, beautiful stadiums the government of H.E @WILLIAMSRUTO built over the years. And Kenyas of roho safi take judicial notice of the good work done. But roads and other infrastructure aren't Dr. Omollo's docket. He is in charge of law and border...to make our streets and neighbourhoods safe and secure. Strangely, you will never see Dr. Omollo post anything meaningful on matters relating to the welfare and security of the citizenry. He knows too well that Boda Boda riders have taken over the streets of Nairobi and many cities, robbing and pillaging at will and without fear. The Westlands incident is the latest instalment of this sad state of insecurity in Nairobi. But such occurrence are many and frequent. So, Dr. Omollo please, leave matters of roads and stadiums to CS Chirchir and CS Mvurya...when will you address the work you are employed and paid for?
I am sorry, but as an American this makes no sense to me.
I know Kenya has a great health infrastructure and can do this - the question is WHY did they agree to this.
Would be interested to know what kind of pressure or concessions the US government made to convince the Kenyan government
Mans is casually sitting inside an Airbus A320 the official presidential aircraft of Senegal.
Meanwhile Nairobi is still flying a 1995 Fokker 70
At some point we need an honest conversation about upgrading the presidential fleet to something modern, efficient and representative of Kenya’s status.
