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?
So now the plan is to send Ebola-exposed patients from the U.S. to Kenya for treatment? Interesting. I must have missed when Kenya suddenly became more medically advanced than the “first world.” Truly, the surprises never end.
Ruto WALAHI if you allow Trump dump those Ebola mafakaz in Kenya!
That is an insensitive prick who did not even attend his own son's wedding juzi
Ati he was busy with Iran 🚮
Shidako huwa nini lakini? You enjoy being hated or you just hate Kenyans?
I am flummoxed!
Trump’s administration is reportedly planning to send US citizens exposed to Ebola to Kenya for monitoring and care instead of returning them to the US, according to NYT.
Uganda has raised Sh62 billion through a bond to build its SGR, pushing Kenya to speed up its own railway from Naivasha to Malaba.
On the other side, Kenya plans to raise Sh390 billion to complete its SGR and connect it to Uganda.
How can a poor third work country called Kenya spend Kshs 1.1 trillion in just 9 months on tea, mandasi, samosa, workshop/seminars in Mombasa and air tickets?
Fuel prices in Kenya are the highest in Africa because the Kenyan so-called leaders are the worst looters and the most incompetent.
I call for a popular revolution to remove them. It’s counterproductive to wait for next year.
Anyone who says otherwise supports the current regime and the incurably defective colonial state.
I remember Baba once narrating to me the facts about the Green Field Terminal issue.
No Jimmy. Uhuru did not cancel the tender because you were not supporting him politically. It was because of the enormous cut you were demanding from the project, a figure that would have significantly eaten into the actual project funds.
The issue was not politics, but excessive greed. The guy is not who he portrays himself to be. Aseme yeye ako tutam without beating around the bush. Hakuna mtu atamchapa.
The biggest threat to Ruto’s second term is a united opposition.
There is propaganda that Ruto will simply rig his way back, but rigging is not as easy as people make it sound. Rigging requires serious intelligence, serious coordination, serious logistics and a disciplined political machine, and Kenya Kwanza may be loud, arrogant and aggressive, but that does not mean they have the capacity to quietly manage every moving part of an election without exposing themselves to a bigger crisis.
The bigger danger for Ruto is the possibility of a last minute national mood swing where Kenyans wake up close to the election and decide in large numbers that Ruto must go. That is the counterattack I am talking about. Not chaos, not violence and not online excitement, but millions of ordinary Kenyans making a quiet decision in their homes, villages, towns, churches, markets, workplaces and polling stations that enough is enough. When people are divided, confused or hopeless, power can manipulate them, but when many Kenyans arrive at the same conclusion at the same time, the system starts shaking.
Personally, my worry is bigger than Ruto. It is bigger than Kalonzo and bigger than whoever else imagines they can inherit power. Whether the next president is Ruto, Kalonzo, Kuku or anyone else, things will still be bad if the poisoned system remains untouched. The country is not well. People are broke, businesses are closing, families that were stable two or three years ago are now struggling, rent is choking people, food is expensive, school fees is a nightmare, jobs are scarce and hope itself has become expensive.
This is where the opposition is also failing because they are talking politics but they are not seriously addressing the issues affecting Kenyans. Kenyans do not just need a replacement for Ruto. They need a serious plan for the economy, taxation, public debt, corruption, police brutality, unemployment, healthcare, education and the cost of living. Without that, removing one group and replacing it with another will only change the names of the people eating while the country continues bleeding.
As I have always said, only Kenyans themselves will take back this country, rectify it and set serious systems. Not politicians, not tribal kingpins and not fake reformers who become silent immediately they get appointments. Keen people know that time must come, and it may come slowly then suddenly.
No matter who is at the top, Kenyans will eventually realise that the system itself is poisoned, and once that realisation becomes national, it will be very bad for anyone who takes over. Kenyans will not just be asking for a new president. They will be demanding a country that finally works.
