USA House Foreign Affairs Committee has opposed the Trump administrationโs move to outsource the care of American Ebola patients to Kenya, saying the US already has domestic facilities designed to safely handle Ebola cases.
The committee says Americans abroad should be brought home and treated by their own government, not dumped on a foreign country.
No matter what you are going through, just lift weights. Weights heal. Weights build. Weights make you focused. Weights make you confident. Weights make you courageous. Weights make you disciplined. Just lift!
Imagine rescuing someone from trenches, you employ him as your errand boy. Then one night while you're drunk enjoying a vacation with your family, he goes ahead to supply high voltage electricity to your underage daughter without her consent. You go to court but the elders intervene & you drop the case.
The mikora goes ahead to spread rumors that your daughter was the one who was loose. We are talking about a lady who was barely 15yrs,,, young & naive. He uses the case as a campaign tool citing unfair treatment from his former boss. He goes ahead to ridicule both you & your daughter.
Today the pedophile mumu is going round insulting & belittling the very same man whom he raped his daughter. A man who rescued him from the shackles of poverty. Today, the man has becoming ungovernable, insulting even the late former president Moi & his family. Maajabu ya Musa!!
When it comes to Bien and Dennis Ombachi, we need to cut them some slack. Next time, vote wisely instead of channeling your frustrations toward innocent people who are simply trying to earn a living. When we went to the streets, some of these mumus calling them house negros were in their comfort zones typing fire emojis as we inhaled teargas.
But two names in the entertainment industry stood tall when it mattered,, Bien and Dennis Ombachi. Bien walked the talk literally. He stepped into the studio alongside Breeder for a full-blown maandamano revolutionary song.
In Kenya, that means putting his brand, his bag, and his reputation on the line, because Kenyans are always emotional when politics come into play. He then took Kenya's governance crisis to an American breakfast show audience, speaking truth to power on international radio without flinching.
As for Ombachi, itโs shameless for anyone to accuse him of being a house negro when, in many of his cooking videos, he highlighted the innocent souls that were taken to Sayuni by this regime. He called out the government using some of the strongest terms possible.
Neither of them has declared support for the government. Last time I checked, Bien said itโs time to clean the government from head to tail. It would be different if the two had started singing Tutam and telling us how William Ruto is the best thing that ever happened to Kenyans, like kina Eddie Butita, Andrew Kibe, and Kasmuel McOure.
The biggest threat to Rutoโs 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.
Raila is gone and he cannot hear, he cannot speak, and he cannot come back to babysit anyoneโs politics.
The political babies who were spoon-fed by him, who suckled from his name, his networks, his courage and his sacrifices, must now grow up and chart their own way.
Let the dead be dead, and let the living do living things.
This habit of telling Kenyans, โRaila said this before he diedโ or โRaila wanted thisโ is useless political witchcraft. If you are alive, speak for yourself and If you want power, fight for it.
In African tradition, a child who refuses to stop breastfeeding long after the mother is gone becomes a village embarrassment.
Railaโs grave should not become a political kitchen where lazy leaders go to warm yesterdayโs food.
Let the living chart their way and let the dead rest.
