Kiambu Woman Rep, who is a UDA sycophant, skipped the church service where the UDA candidate for the Ol Kalou seat was attending, only for her to attend the service where the DCP candidate for the Ol Kalou seat was attending. In the picture is the respect with which she greeted the DCP candidate. Ni kama hata serikali inajua huyu ndiye MP wa Ol Kalou.

BREAKING: The William Ruto govt is about to pull one of the most selfish financial tricks of his presidency.

A move designed not just to collect the Housing Levy.

But to make sure Kenyans keep paying it for years to come, and no other president in the near future removes it. (Securitization)

Here's the plan.

His government, according to NTV, plans to borrow about KSh150 billion from local and international banks.

The security?

YOUR future Housing Levy payments. So they want to go collect 150 billion and use future housing levy payments as security. (securitization)

This means that if the next government removes the housing levy, Kenya will default on the loan taken by the Ruto government.

Let that sink in.

The government gets KSh150 billion immediately this year.

The money is spent immediately.

But Kenyans remain trapped paying the levy for years afterwards.

This is not an accident.
This is the whole point.

Opposition leaders have repeatedly promised to abolish the Housing Levy.

So what does Ruto's government do?

It moves to tie the levy to a massive loan so that future governments will find it far harder to remove.

In short:

The cash stays with Ruto's administration; they get it and use it before elections.

The bill stays with Kenyans for years
The burden is pushed into the future.

And if the loan is backed by many years of future levy collections, millions of Kenyans could find themselves paying 20 yrs later for a decision long after this government is gone.

That is why this is so selfish.

I warned earlier this year that the new Ruto levies were not just about raising money.

They were about creating assets that could be used to secure more borrowing.

Now we are seeing exactly why.

The question every Kenyan should ask is this:

This is completely evil. We reject all attempts to securitize the Housing Levy.

Wamunyoro DESK is receiving intel that three Nazigi buses were dispatched from Mukuyu, Murang’a at around 6:00pm and are currently en route to Ol Kalou.

Sources indicate that onboard are groups of young men drawn from Murang’a and neighbouring Nyeri counties, allegedly mobilised to support the ongoing Ol Kalou campaigns.

According to one insider who has chosen to remain anonymous, they have allegedly been recruited under a one month renewable arrangement and briefed that their assignments may not be limited to campaign mobilisation alone, but could also include other roles including acting as goons.

The source further reveals that their allowances have been catered for in advance, including accommodation and logistics.

More details to follow....

Oburu Odinga will never heal from this comeback from Riggy G:

"I overheard Oburu Oginga alleging that he could not work with
me. From the way he said it, even uttering the sentence seemed
like a difficult task for him. He looked tired. As for me, I am equally
not interested in working with a tired person like him"

According to analysts and observers, it will have implications for President William Ruto’s re-election bid and the aspirations of other presidential hopefuls.
