@Iyyesa Every election season brings fresh slogans and nicknames for politicians, and Northern Kenya is no exception. This time around, several of our leaders have earned new titles. In Garissa, CS Duale is now known as "Sultan Xaasid." In Mandera, Governor Mohamed goes by "Sultan Baqiil," while in Wajir, Adan Kenyan is referred to as "Sultan Keligis."
To former and current politicians from Northern Kenya, especially Mandera, who habitually hurl hostile and reckless remarks at other communities,whether to show loyalty to the president or to seek political favor, please stop. You are stoking unnecessary conflict and tarnishing our image. We need freedom of worship, association, peaceful coexistence, and good relations with all Kenyans. Your rhetoric harms us all, restricts our freedoms, and invites hostility from the very communities you attack.
@fokango William Ruto's 'pesa mfukoni', 'bottom up', and wheelbarrow slogans were laughed at and dismissed in the last election but brought him to power. Gachagua's current 'cousins' and 'watu wangu' despite seeming funny and unpopular are poised to shape the 2027 outcome.
The Ol Kalou by-election was more than a local contest, it was a 2027 coalition signal. If Mt. Kenya has politically detached from President Ruto, it may also have weakened its leverage to retain the deputy presidency and other key Executive positions. The real beneficiaries could be Western and Nyanza, whose bargaining power has just grown. The winners in Ol Kalou can have their victory parade today, but the real political dividends may be harvested elsewhere.
@ahmednasirlaw Wakili you forget to tell them that, everything can be replaced,except a house's foundation and one's parents. Mount Kenya was that foundation for WSR's presidency, but sidelining it for Luo Nyanza and Northern Kenya risks his 2027 bid.
Yesterday's vote in Ol Kalou doesn't sugarcoat for President William Ruto the plain and transparent truth on the torturous road to 2027. It gives him a binary choice. Continue listening to the effusive and praiseful lullabies by Kiambu politicians whose support is in single digit and not beyond immediate family members, stick with Prof Kithure Kindiki and believe their false narrative that he will get 40% of the Mt. Kenya vote and know that a humiliating defeat is certain. Or act the political fox you always have been, pick a Luo or a Luhya runningmate(preferably the latter) and hit the read running. The choices are clear. And President Ruto must smell the coffee...by force.
@SkySportsNews@FIFAWorldCup W/Cup has laid bare FIFA's dark side through a series of controversies: denying visa to referee, mistreating the Iranian team, granting preferential treatment to US team, allowing biased officiating to rob Senegal and Egypt, and showing blatant favoritism toward Argentina.
Egypt head coach Hossam Hassan has said the referee was "unfair" and claimed the World Cup was "directed towards Argentina" following their dramatic 3-2 defeat in the last 16 ⚽️
@FIFAWorldCup The 2026 World Cup has laid bare FIFA's dark side through a series of controversies: denying visas to African referees, mistreating the Iranian team, granting preferential treatment to US squad members, allowing biased officiating to rob Senegal and Egypt, and showing blatant favoritism toward Argentina.
@FIFAWorldCup@major_bashir FIFA banned Russia for invading Ukraine, but looked the other way regarding Israel, which continues committing genocide against Palestine.
@fifaworldcup — the ref for Egypt-Argentina game was purely against the Egypt team. He was against Africa. What a sad game. FIFA must take stock of this game. Rubbish referee.
Yesterday, President Ruto officially opened the Ngong Road–Naivasha Road flyover which is welcome news for the city. It got me wondering: when it came to the Thika Road flyovers, did the former president open them one by one, or was the entire project unveiled all at once?
To those asking President Ruto to slow down, he has just commissioned the Ngong Road–Naivasha Road Flyover, one year ahead of schedule - Hussein Mohamed
If all the Somali officials with Kenyan documents or Kenyan route were to be treated the same , half of the Jubuland current administration and a quarter of current/former Puntland personalities will be in jail by now
Govt deports Somalia's Deputy PM Jibril Abdirashid Haji after JKIA immigration officials allegedly linked him to a fraudulently acquired Kenyan passport.
@mohammedhersi when Kenyatta senior died, the road from Bohole-11 to Mandera was 70% termed and @BillowKerrow was the main beneficiary. Can Ruto and his UDA admiration march that as part of his legacy
Ethiopia's GDP is $117 billion compared to Kenya at $132 billion, slightly below Kenya. . It's 2026/27 Expenditure Budget is $14 billion whilst Kenya's is $37 Billion, more than 2X that of Ethiopia for a population that is only 50% that of Ethiopia!
We live large in this nation!
Ethiopia allocated 22% to regions. Kenya allocated sh 428 billion, less than 10% of its sh 4.8 trillion budget to regions/counties.
We are still centralised!
