Devki Group has started construction of a Sh50 billion cement factory in Kitui County.
The plant is being built in Ngaaie, Mwingi North, and is expected to start operations by mid-2027.
Every human being has equal value. Every single one.
At the United Nations General Assembly, I challenged a world that still decides whose lives deserve protection and whose suffering can be ignored.
No race is superior. No people are disposable. Until we honour that truth, "everywhere is war" remains a warning we have failed to heed.
What the world needs now is love, with the courage to confront injustice and defend our shared humanity.
Love and a little kindness. For everyone.
It is with deep sorrow that I announce the death of our brother Gen. Moses Ali. He died today at Nakasero Hospital, at 1600 hours. Gen Moses Ali has provided service to his country for a long time, as a soldier and a political leader.
In the West Nile region, he provided the good example of being a big modern farmer. We shall miss greatly his contribution. May the Almighty God rest his soul in eternal peace.
It was obvious from day one that the UDA candidate will be soundly beaten by Wamunyoro's candidate in the Ol Kalou by election. Only the margin was being debated in low tone. The conventional wisdom seemed to suggest that UDA's candidate will garner between 25 to 35% of the vote. In otherwords, he will mount a respectable fight and validate the propaganda peddled by political minnows from Kiambu that President Ruto still retains significant support in Mt. Kenya region. Now that the dust has settled, the postmortem by political pathologists give a dire prognosis of the dismal performance of UDA. 13% of the vote was an awful return for the billions spent and the false promises so recklessly made to the voters. Of course, the divorce between President Ruto and the Kikuyu community provided the background melody in UDA's calamitous showing in Ol Kalou. A number of other factors played significant role in the horror show too. First, gooism and violence played a significant role in the death and demise of UDA in Ol Kalou. Kenya's loathe violence unleashed on them and their homes by politicians enjoying state patronage. Historic experience taught them that violence begets violence and leads to death and destruction. Goonism which is flourishing as a powerful and well resourced department in the Minstry of Internal Security Office of the President has lately scared Kenyans to death. Ol Kalou voters strong repudiated the thesis that voters can be forced by goons and other violent characters to vote for a preferred candidate. Going foward, Politicians must know that gooism and violence will cost them votes. Second, "development" on wheelbarrows, wooden boats, gas cylinders and electric poles on the roadside annoyed Ol Kalou votes. UDA flashed the discredited "development card" as if it was doing a favour to the Ol Kalou voter. Surely aren't these voters Kenyans entitled to development? The fake promises of unrealistic "development" turned many voters in Ol Kalou against UDA. Voters rightly saw the lies and false promises made just to get their votes. Going foward, Politicians must know that voters aren't stupid and they see a lie from distant. Ole Kalou voters told our politicians "Just be truthful, you fucking idiots!" Third, the leadership of UDA was lightweight and not credible. The face of UDA's campaign in Ol Kalou was Hon. Moses Kuria. Moses is a good man with many qualities but I don't think he is a good trusted salesman. A salesman speaks with measured tone/seriousness. Moses speaks too fast and playfully for a rural audience like Ol Kalou. Moses is effective/impressive in Live tv shows like Jeff's @KoinangeJeff on @citizentvkenya but he didnt come out credible in rallies in rural Ol Kalou. More importantly, as a Kiambu gentry what could he really tell a third generation Mau Mau offspring who grew up hearing the heroics and eventual death of JM Kariuki in the hands of Kiambu mafia led by Jomo? Lastly, UDA arrogantly refuses to come to terms with the political reality shaping the 2027 elections. In Kenya, we vote along tribal lines. Nothing inherently wrong with that. The Kikuyu community has made up its mind as have the Kamba, Somali, Luo etc. Our Kikuyu brothers right from H.E Rigathi Gachagua, H.E UHURU down to the pickpockets and pimps in River Road have said loud and clear that their sole agenda in 2027 to send H.E WILLIAM RUTO to Sugoi. That is a right those who support Ruto's reelection like MYSELF must respect and strategize to defeat...but we must respect their choice nonetheless. Ol Kalou voters cried that their choice be respected...
The Law Society of Kenya strongly condemns the shocking arrest of Chief Justice Emeritus @dkmaraga and environmental activists protesting the irregular allocation of 76 acres of Nairobi National Park. Bundling a retired head of our Judiciary into a police vehicle for peacefully opposing a Sh42 Billion project, reportedly pushed through without public participation, is a direct assault on the civic space guaranteed under Article 37 of the Constitution. National heritage sites are not state property to barter behind closed doors.
The LSK will not stand by while police force is weaponized against constitutional defenders. We have immediately dispatched an LSK legal team to Lang’ata Police Station to secure the unconditional release of the activists, and I commend the CJ Emeritus for refusing to leave custody until all those arrested with him are freed. We demand an immediate end to the harassment of civic actors and a transparent public audit of the Bomas expansion plan. The @LawSocietyofKe remains firmly on the frontlines to protect our laws and our land.
I was arrested this morning together with fellow patriotic Kenyans during our procession to present a petition to the Kenya Wildlife Services against the excision of part of the Nairobi National Park to construct a 1300-car parking lot.
Our national heritage and environment must be safeguarded from greed and unnecessary destruction without public participation.
I am asking myself the same question.
Of the 12 representatives from the tribe of Israel , it was only Caleb and Joshua who were courageous and convinced Moses that as much as the guys are giant they could defeat them and the people were saved from hands of Pharaoh!
That caleb wa bibilia ndio huyu . Mnipee Joshua tuanze mwendo.
Do not listen to naysayers. They have been there even in the bible stories.
Kenya must get a renaissance!
The historic Madaraka Day celebration in Wajir County is, without question, the most consequential of my lifetime and political career. Today, we are confronting and correcting a historical injustice that has endured for more than six decades.
For far too long, the people of Northern Kenya bore the burden of State-sanctioned neglect following the policy direction set out in Sessional Paper No. 10 of 1965.
The result was decades of marginalisation, under-investment, and missed opportunities for generations of Kenyans in this region.
Baba Raila Odinga, may you rest well. To the family, your spouse Mama Ida Odinga and your children, my family and I join you in prayer during this difficult moment. My deepest sympathies to you and to the people of the Republic of Kenya.
The enigma Baba, the father of our democracy and a formidable hero of Kenya’s 2nd liberation, you stood tall and strong in intellect, knowledge and quest for democracy. You faced brutal regimes’ brutality, you were tortured, jailed, abducted and detained severally for Kenya. When the history of Africa’s Pan-Africanism is written, your chapter as the indefatigable lion of Africa will attract many readers.
You dedicated your life in the service of humanity: as a political activist, a Civil Servant, a University Lecturer, an MP, a Party Leader, a Cabinet Minister, a Prime Minister and many other fronts. On all these, your trail of success and impact remains indelible.
Kenyans will not only remember your craft in resilience, persistence and democratic values days on but also your voice during difficult moments.
It will be remembered that you were at the forefront in the fight for Kenya’s democracy and liberation of Kenya on many firsts. Most profoundly, Kenya’s multiparty democracy and the Constitution of Kenya 2010, a race you strongly stood in for and we the people of Kenya shall never forget.
Much as we have never been on the same political side, I have had a strong admiration of Raila Odinga's art of forming and sustaining a strong political party that survived 4 general elections. I remain amazed by his choice of quality legislators to fly the party flag and eloquently articulate party policies and the people they represented.
You are a hero celebrated home and away; you have not gone Raila Odinga, you have just faded away.
Rest in peace Baba and may perpetual light shine upon you forever.
The death of @RailaOdinga Baba has left me devastated.
It's a death I didn't see coming soon.
The Enigma Raila has been my political icon.
A selfless man.
The man Raila placed the Unity and Stability of a nation Kenya ahead of all his personal life.
May Baba Raila AMOLO RIP
Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.
One thing that’s never made sense to me is taking money from Government to give a parent for bursary to pay a government School, why not have Government send the money Directly to the school under the students name ?
