Irungu Kang’ata said that Sifuna cannot go far without consulting regional elders and that he needs Wamunyoro's blessing to penetrate Murima. This reflects the reality of Kenya’s deeply rooted political networks, where influence, alliances, and regional structures often shape political trajectories.
Ultimately, however, long-term leadership still depends on ideas, performance, and public trust. Claiming that you are clean and have integrity will never, on its own, be a deciding factor in presidential politics. The presidential contest is not child’s play. That other side is full of delusional jokers.
Nyakundi saying MPs shouldn’t try to Impeach Ruto because it will backfire is the same as saying citizens should not vote because Ruto will steal the elections anyway.
This lorry overturned at Kapkwen, Bomet. People just stare at the scene but they cannot loot, like it happens in some places. This is a culture we should maintain.
The so-called African leaders (who are actually colonial mascots) don’t act against their people because they are “morally bankrupt” only; they do so because they don’t value the life of an African and consider their roles as mere “facilitators” and enablers for the Empire, which created, trained, funded and imposed them on Africa.
Last year, the US government said some African governments refused to participate in its forced deportation programme for illegal migrants. Ghana volunteered to collect them and help dump them.
In 2022, the British government decided it no longer wished to host asylum seekers on its own territory and needed somewhere to offload them. Rwanda raised its hand.
In 2016, the United States decided it could not keep certain Guantanamo Bay prisoners in its own facilities. Ghana openly agreed to receive them on African soil.
And now the United States has decided it cannot repatriate its own Ebola patients to its own vastly superior medical infrastructure. Kenya has offered to build them a treatment centre.
Every time a Western government identifies something it considers too dangerous, too embarrassing, too legally complicated or too politically inconvenient to keep on its own territory, there is always an African government somewhere ready to collect it.
Deportees, asylum seekers, terror suspects, infectious disease patients. The willingness of certain African leaders to position their countries as the world’s surrogate waste management service, in exchange for whatever diplomatic or financial token has no visible floor.
There will always be morally bankrupt opportunists in government who will not look at the safety of their people, the dignity of their flag or the solidarity owed to the oppressed, and will instead compete to be the most useful to the powerful.
