@moneyacademyKE A groundbreaking is a ceremony, not a legal milestone, so a government can hold one before filing paperwork. Disclosure rules are also often enforced only when someone asks or sues.
You can become the best version of yourself by owning your own. That includes mistakes, finances, experience. Even when it’s hard get back up and continue forward.

Among all of Raila's children, he is perhaps the one who has borne the greatest cost of his father’s political convictions, an unwitting casualty of a lifelong struggle waged in the name of democracy and justice. Many people remain unaware of Raila Junior’s quiet yet remarkable achievements.
He is not merely the son of a political titan; he is a distinguished professional in his own right. Junior holds a BA (Honours) in Accounting and Finance from the University of Wales and a MSc in Finance from the University of Leeds.
As a sharp and grounded entrepreneur, he manages the family business portfolio while serving as CEO and Executive Producer of Creative Hub, a reputable production company that crafts high-quality advertisements for mainstream media.
Having once worked there myself, I can attest to his discipline, creativity, and sense of purpose. Beyond business, Junior devotes his time to mentoring children living with disabilities, a profound reflection of his empathy and moral conviction.
Yet, despite these accomplishments, Raila Junior has long been subjected to mockery and prejudice not because of his character or competence, but because of a medical condition that was beyond his control.
He has been a casualty of his father’s political identity, unfairly reduced to caricature by those of us who see the Odinga name before they see the human being. It is easy to forget that behind every public figure stands a person, one who feels, struggles, and bleeds just like the rest of us.
It is disheartening, even tragic, that during a moment of grief as he mourned his father, some chose to focus not on his composure, intellect, or dignity, but on something as shallow as his physical appearance. Here was a man who walked into that solemn space with grace, his beautiful wife by his side, his demeanor calm and respectful, yet society’s instinct was to ridicule rather than empathize.
If an individual like Raila Junior who's educated, successful, disciplined, compassionate, and dignified can still be reduced to a mere object of ridicule, then perhaps it is not him who needs healing, but society itself. We have normalized cruelty in the name of humour and lost sight of the humanity that binds us.
Let us relearn empathy. Let us remember that kindness costs nothing, yet its absence impoverishes us all. Let us celebrate resilience instead of ridiculing difference. You never truly know the battles someone is fighting behind their smile; sometimes, a single cruel word can wound deeper than silence ever could.
Raila Odinga’s passing has reminded me of one enduring truth: political differences should never eclipse our shared humanity. I will never again despise someone for thinking differently. Because in the end, empathy not ideology is what defines us. May Raila Amolo Odinga rest in eternal peace.💔
How do you even imagine to hawk ODM to DCP fertilizer party & the confused opposition when William Ruto the cofounders are ALIVE?
Go well Baba 👋 #railaodinga#RIPRailaOdinga
President William Ruto is playing one of the most sophisticated political mind games in recent Kenyan history. His statement that “many people told him Raila Odinga is not president and must not be accorded a state burial, but he dismissed them saying Raila was the people’s president,” is not an act of kindness it’s reverse psychology at its finest.
Ruto knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s speaking to three audiences at once.
First, he’s addressing the Luo Nation, sending a carefully coded message: “I respect your leader more than his own.” That’s emotional manipulation wrapped in flattery the kind that lowers resistance and wins sympathy. He’s turning the pain of loss into political capital.
Second, he’s speaking to Uhuru Kenyatta and the Kikuyu elite, saying: “I did what you couldn’t. I reached where you failed.” That’s a subtle taunt. He’s not just extending a hand of unity he’s reminding Uhuru that he now controls the emotional center of Kenyan politics.
And third, he’s messaging the international and national elite, painting himself as the “magnanimous statesman” who respects his enemies, a move meant to neutralize criticism and position himself as a national reconciler.
But the truth is, Ruto’s every gesture is a calculation. The man doesn’t speak out of emotion he plays chess, not checkers. By publicly “honoring” Raila Odinga, he is disarming opposition sympathy, rebranding himself as the healer of divisions, and preparing ground to raid Raila’s political base.
The same way he told Uhuru Kenyatta “I looked for you because we must build Kenya together” Ruto was not extending peace, he was collecting political collateral. He wants to appear above tribal grudges while quietly tightening his grip on every emotional fault line in the republic.
In short, Ruto isn’t just playing politics he’s manipulating perception.
He’s using mourning as marketing, respect as recruitment, and reconciliation as rebranding.
A trickster, yes but a genius one.
The president resigning today would not solve much and would infact precipitate an economic slow down that might worsen things. Markets hate “instability” or “transitions”. We can however leverage the gains we have and ensure government runs in a better way.
Then 2027, dilit!
This whole crisis can be a blessing in disguise for the president if he means well for the country. Get rid of his circle, sanitize government, ride the change tide and get things done the proper way.
