The World Cup is exposing an uncomfortable truth about international relations: citizens of countries in the Global South face systemic discrimination in visa and immigration procedures.
Article 129 of our Constitution provides:-
129. (1) Executive authority derives from the people of Kenya and shall be exercised in accordance with this Constitution.
(2) Executive authority shall be exercised in a manner compatible with the principle of service to the people of Kenya, and for their well-being and benefit.
Mr. President, your authority derives from the people of Kenya and must be exercised by you for their well-being and benefit.
They have said a loud NO to this American Ebola Centre at Nanyuki. There are Court Orders halting its construction. Three peaceful demonstrators have now been shot dead by the police.
Mr. President, you’re in manifest violation of this Article, of the Court Orders, of the Right to Life and of Peaceful Demonstrations.
Qatar said it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, you can come to the World Cup, just don’t drink alcohol at the stadium.
USA said you can’t come. Who you are or where you come from matters. We’ll decide who can and can’t participate. This isn’t a sport for everyone.
Iraqi footballer Aymen Hussein issued a statement after being detained and questioned for seven hours upon entering the United States:
“If America is so hostile towards foreign nationals, why is it hosting the #2026WorldCup?”
OVERHEAD: We live in a shockingly diverse world, where some fight over whose cow crossed an invisible, arbitrary European colonial border line to eat grass, OR which clan or tribe inherently possesses the "rightful" leadership of a local market committee; while others are feuding over who gets to colonise the Martian soil first and mine asteroids, or dominate decentralised cryptocurrency and quantum computing protocols.
Last weekend I passed two "national schools", Sawagongo and Maseno.
What I found in "Sawa" is a story for another day.
Maseno!?
Home to over 4K students, but having only a single medic - a nurse. Yes, a single nurse. And was not even in her station then.
The incompetent @FIFAWorldCup host, USA, is failing to fulfill its responsibilities properly.
We are guests of @FIFAcom, and it is FIFA’s responsibility to ensure that visas for all members are issued.

Yesterday’s meeting with Meru county was disappointing. Instead of honoring our signed RTWF agreement, the CECM gave us a bunch of mediocre info as to why the county cannot implement their commitments. 8 contract doctors remain unabsorbed into PnP!!
The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
I was surprised to hear Prof. PLO Lumumba, a man of letters, suggest that “roads are useless where people are hungry.” That statement, however eloquent, misses a fundamental truth: hunger is not solved in isolation from infrastructure; it is solved through it.
A road is not asphalt. It is access. It is the difference between a farmer reaching market in time or losing value. It is the bridge between isolation and opportunity, between subsistence and prosperity.
That is why when President William Samoei Ruto commissioned the first ever tarmac road in Rusinga Island - the historic home of Thomas Joseph Mboya - it was not merely a project. It was a correction of history. And when he immediately directed that the next phase begins, he was doing what leadership must do: extending opportunity, kilometre by kilometre.
Infrastructure is justice made visible. It determines whether services reach people, whether investment follows potential, whether dignity is accessible or distant.
We do not build roads to celebrate construction. We build them to equalize chance.
The truth is simple: where roads go, markets follow; where markets follow, incomes rise; where incomes rise, hunger falls.
Kenya is not just building roads. It is rewriting the geography of opportunity.
And that is how nations are built - not in words, but in work.

@LarryMadowo Why couldn’t the quarantine facility built in Congo? Must it be built in Kenya? We have been fortunate not to have cases of Ebola in the Country, once Ruto imports it from Congo to Kenya, that disease will never leave.
Greed for American money has made Ruto sacrifice Kenyans
"The United States’ highest priority remains protecting the health and security of the American people by working to prevent the Ebola outbreak from reaching our shores."
"The number one priority of our foreign policy is to protect the American people. We can not and will not allow any cases of Ebola to enter the United States" ~ Marco Rubio, US Secretary of State
Nurses are the most overworked and the most underpaid professionals in Kenya. Being a foreman in some mjengo actually pays better.
We really need to speak up for the nurses.
