Raila Odinga’s legacy challenges us to confront our hypocrisy
and redefine what it truly means to honor those who fight for justice —
even when it is inconvenient.
This moment is humbling and sobering.
It reminds us to value integrity, courage, and conviction in real time — not just in retrospect.
True statesmanship should not need death for validation.

Speaker after speaker called him
Today’s eulogies felt like a collective admission —
that we failed to recognize the greatness that stood before us.
It seems we find it easier to celebrate heroes when they no longer threaten power.
It is safer to honor him in death than to support him in life.

Maria has been living in Kenya legally after she was threatened with death by her government, and she moved to Kenya. If she is taken back to Tanzania, she might be tortured or even killed.
The Ruto government will have been responsible.

On this issue of CDF funding use, from the story carried out by @citizentvkenya at 9pm news this evening points to lack of a systematic approach to disbursements. We should have a system that tracks all applications, approved applications and those rejected and has details

Having the closing sessions for the Africa philanthropy conference in Victoria Falls. Thought provoking sessions of what philanthropy is- it's about giving & it's a natural way in the African context. There should be no hierarchy btn the giver & the receiver.
