A video of Raila Odinga attending the United Democratic Party (UDP) National Delegates Conference (NDC) on February 24, 2022, has resurfaced.
The event, hosted by the late Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo, took place at Multimedia University in Nairobi.
UDP is the party that Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna is set to launch in early October.
Mzee is smart but not very wise, see it from it his point of view . . .
2007, an election is held in Kenya and Uganda ends up with invisible hands around its neck.
No worries, he goes to the drawing board and decides to hedge. He re-routes some through Tanzania, including
Two noticeable things;
1. Azimio TV @AzimioTv is a blockbuster. It has taken over this space and become more reliable than mainstream TV. And its access to exclusive content and spaces is mind boggling.
2. Sam Gituku @SamGituku is a brilliant news man. His story is interesting. He was on assignment in Kisumu for a week, getting ready to depart on Wednesday morning, when he was asked to abort mission and head straight to Bondo, because the Rt Hon Raila Odinga had just died.
Since then, Gituku has been reporting day and night from both Opoda Farm and Nyamira Kang'o ka Jaramogi. He moves around with a translator, who picks up all the sights and sounds, and explains to Gituku. The latter's subsequent reporting has been top notch.
Usually, Luo funerals are covered by know-it-all reporters who misinterprete the intricate customs and culture attendant to them. But Gituku has done this with utmost class, even admitting to learning in the process. His translated reporting is precise. His coverage impeccable. His sense of presence around delicate funeral matters very admirable. And he remains tireless, day and night.
Absolute class.
Raila Odinga was a true champion of democracy. A child of independence, he endured decades of struggle and sacrifice for the broader cause of freedom and self-governance in Kenya. Time and again, I personally saw him put the interests of his country ahead of his own ambitions. Like few other leaders anywhere, he was willing to choose the path of peaceful reconciliation without compromising his core values. Through his life, Raila Odinga set an example not just for Kenyans, but across Africa and around the world. I know he will be missed. Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and to the people of Kenya.
A Nairobi politician offered paid goons a bonus if they attacked me while covering protests.
Pro-government voices are calling for me to be arrested. But I will not be intimidated
Boniface Mwangi Kariuki, the hawker who was shot at close range during protests in Nairobi two weeks ago, has died. According to family spokesperson Emily Wanjira, he passed away at 3:15pm.
My thoughts are with the family of Boniface Kariuki on their loss. The point-blank shooting of Boniface while selling masks underscores that no one is safe with a regime that is so irretrievably reckless and with zero regard for human life and dignity.
This is a regime which has now fully demonstrated that it is unable to climb down to meet even the most basic demand of respecting the sanctity of human life.
Let us continue working together to reset, restore and rebuild Kenya to the rule of law and utu.
The @LawSocietyofKe has secured conservatory orders suspending the punitive, arbitrary and illegal directive by the @CA_Kenya. The Authority must forthwith reinstate all signals it has shut down on account of their unconstitutional directive. Contempt of this order will be met with full prosecution of the leadership of CA.
