If I were William Ruto's political adviser, I would tell him something no one in his inner circle has the courage to say:
Don't run in 2027.
Politics is unforgiving. It does not reward stubbornness; it punishes it.
The greatest danger facing you is not the opposition; it is the illusion created by those who survive by telling you what you want to hear. They clap at every speech, celebrate every rally, and call every crowd "historic." They are not measuring public opinion; they are protecting their paychecks.
Do not mistake the privileges of office for popularity. A convoy is not love. A State House reception is not public approval. A crowd assembled by power is not the same as a nation willing to vote for you.
Every ruler eventually reaches the point where the mirror tells one story and the people tell another. Wise leaders believe the people. Proud leaders believe the mirror.
You have spent more than thirty years climbing to the summit of Kenyan politics. Don't spend your final chapter proving that the hardest fall is the one from the highest mountain.
There comes a point when remaining in the race stops looking like courage and starts looking like an inability to read the times.
Leave while retirement is still a choice. If you insist on staying, don't be surprised when the ballot box becomes the harshest political adviser you have ever ignored.
His Excellency @edwinsifuna ground imekukubali even the Spirit of Baba Raila Odinga rests on you don't let us down "Raila Odinga Mausoleum" #SifunaThe6th
Back in 2016, William Ruto sued activist Boniface Mwangi over tweets linking him to corruption, land grabbing, Jacob Juma's death, and enforced disappearances. Ruto demanded the tweets be deleted, an apology, and compensation.
Boniface Mwangi refused to apologize and fought the case with lawyers Gitobu Imanyara and Martha Karua. In the end, Mwangi won the case.
Explaining the endless backlog/inertia in our courts to advocates, clients and judges despite massive increases in the number judges:
1. We have 365 days in a year.
2. The High Court, Court of Appeal and the Supreme court don't sit on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, totalling 156 days.
3. We are left with 209 working days in a year.
4. Judges take summer vacation of 45 days from 1st August to 15th September.
5. They take 21 days Christmas leave from 22nd December to 15th January.
6. They take 14 days Easter vacation.
7. Judges take 30 days annual leave.
8. Judges spend 30 days a year in workshop, training, seminars and foreign trips, specially the Supreme Court judges.
9. Average of 15 days on personal and family emergencies .
10. The Average judge of the High Court and the Court of Appeal sit in court a mere 54 days a year.
11. Supreme Court judges sit between 25 to 28 days in a year.
12. The Chief Justice sits in court less than 15 days a year.
With judges working just 54 days a year, do you now understand the second biggest challenge facing the courts after JurisPESA?

If Kikuyuland is Mt Kenya West,
And Embu & Meru are Mt Kenya East,
Then Ukambani is Mt Kenya South,
Isiolo is Mt Kenya North,
Nairobi is Mt Kenya Metropolis,
Maasailand is Old Mt Kenya,
Western is New Mt Kenya,
Most of Rift Valley & Coast is Mt Kenya Diaspora..
In short, the whole of Kenya is Greater Mt Kenya.
Ifikie CS Ruku.
KDW 600Q. We know where this vehicle spent the night before the Ol Kalou by-election.
We know the specific room the occupants slept in.
We have images of the occupants, and I believe they can help answer serious questions about who hired them & what they were sent to do?
To my luo brother & 2 Nubian from Nairobi: I saw you return to this vehicle after residents confronted your group.
Ask yourself one question: if you had lost your life that day, would those who brought you there publicly acknowledge you?
The Inspector General and the @DCI_Kenya owe Kenyans answers.
The reports and footage that have emerged deserve a clear, transparent & independent scrutiny.
Now I can tell without fear of contradiction that officers give civilians gun in state sponsored terror against opposition leaders & their supporters
Those responsible should be held accountable regardless of rank or office.
Democracy survives when the truth is not buried.
The Cs @InteriorKE & the inept, compromised & castrated IG are burrying the truth.
He adds nothing useful to any ticket. He is a dwarf in multiple senses. He is lightweight in more than one way. He is liability personified. He is well past his sell by date. He is a dead stock. He is dead as a dodo. His Mt. Kenya people ridicule and loathe him...and rightly so. He is a political freeloader taking complimentary ride at the back of his Boss. President Ruto MUST LET HIM GO!
You want him to meet you.. Pole he is just nothing you... Sifuna goes to state hous to make measurements of the curtains and seat covers , so when he occupies in 2027 his favourite colour and style are installed. Plus a bar and bar stools and a rocking chair for OBURU who will be appointed as to shout PAWA , PAWA to all guests visiting staehouse
If you listen closely to sifuna I swear you never doubt his abilities to lead this country
He is already mentoring the youngins 💯
True statesman Baba raised a hero here #SisiNdioSifuna,,#LindaMwananchiTaveta
'You are being surrounded by conmen and brokers. We can't use billions in Ol Kalou and get only 5,000 votes,' Rift Valley leaders believe someone is lying to President Ruto.
