@otienowill Sometimes, in May 2024, I questioned this professorship. Indeed, these are the barons in academic corridors.

@YvonneOkwara please ask @JunetMohamed if he still holds to this?

If William Ruto can threaten to slap a sitting President, make no mistake, he can kill a common mwananchi.

We are warning Kenyans to not trust Ruto with power.

@IAMRAPCHA Moi orphans never change. Senior @AtwoliDza, when are you retiring?
Will your legacy be the offices you hold in the world. How will the young leaders rise to the occasion with such bitterness?

When I first advanced this constitutional argument, many dismissed it as political opposition to President William Ruto. I maintained that it was never about politics; it was about the proper interpretation of the Constitution.

Today, Justice Mugure Thande of the High Court at Malindi has interpreted Article 136(2)(a) to mean that the General Election ought to be held in August 2026 that elections are held in the fifth year, not after five years. That is the constitutional interpretation I have consistently defended

[Moe @moneyacademyKE]

The High Court in Malindi has ruled that Kenya's next General Election ought to be held in August 2026, not 2027.

The court based its decision on the Constitution, which says elections should be held on the second Tuesday in August in every fifth year.

According to the ruling, "every fifth year" means the election should take place during the fifth year after the last General Election, not after five full years have passed.

Since the last General Election was held on 9 August 2022, the court says the fifth year falls in August 2026, making that the correct election period.

The court also found that holding the election in August 2027 would not comply with this interpretation of the Constitution.

However, the court suspended the effect of its decision because organizing a nationwide election in August 2026 is no longer practical.

This means the ruling does not immediately change the current election timeline.

The decision is expected to be appealed, so higher courts could still determine whether Kenya's next General Election will be held in 2026 or 2027.

@orengo_james SC, let's not sanitise mediocrity. Be careful.

[Liston Mwabi @ListonMwabi]

@DrBakariNgengi You're wrong, it was the 2010 Constitution that WSR tested what you call popularity. My worries is that in all these assumptions, you don't take into consideration the current demographics.

[Nelson Havi SC @NelsonHavi]

Today, President William Ruto’s main critics are his former ardent advisors and supporters whilst his diehard defenders are his former sworn enemies. It cannot be that Prof Njuguna Ndung’u is dishonest and unwise and that Peter Kaluma is forthright and a genius. Evidently, the President has lost the People.

@LindaMwananchi_ we (myself and the people I'm convincing to support the movement) don't want mediocre leaders within the formation. One of them is @CSAishaJumwa . We're not here to dance. Dancing can't undo the damage the Ruto regime has costed the country.

[Kipkalya Kones @MrKipkalya]

Everyone must have watched H.E. @edwinsifuna on TV last night, but for posterity, I must share a summary of his talking points last night, so that you can all hold him accountable for his words.

1. Referring to his tour of Bungoma as a homecoming is a misnomer, because a real homecoming would be in Nairobi, where he is elected. However, he acknowledges that he has his ancestral routes in Bungoma and remains forever grateful for the immense support shown last weekend and moving forward.

2. The whole country yearns for a new political order, and he is happy to be the face of that national desire. However, he remains conscious of the fact that the destiny of Linda Mwananchi and its election lineup will be decided as a collegiate matter with other luminaries.

3. Declaring a run for the presidency will be easier after meeting Kenyans in other counties and firming up the discussions. The Linda tours are opening up this space for the conversation and then the presidential candidacy will be declared.

4. He is not one to run away from the people, so if the call of the people will be to run for President, he will accept the massive honour of carrying the people’s aspirations to the ballot. There is no question of turning back from national desires.

5. The “first one hundred days” cliche about what an administration will do upon being elected doesn’t have to be about expenditure items requiring state resources. The Linda Mwananchi philosophy sees the possibility of this key promise being about the software of the nation; uphold national values, cut government expenditure, seal corruption holes and entrench the rule of law. The movement doesn’t need to promise big capital projects in its first one hundred days.

6. He is happy to have kept his promise to his boss, the Rt Hon Raila Odinga, to not be the one who wrecks ODM. The traders and sharks who took over ODM have chased the liberation warriors out of the party and done the wrecking themselves.

7. Fighting over ODM as the country enters the electoral cycle is no longer viable. There is need to get organised as a movement, launch another vessel and prepare supporters for the elections, rather than mourning over ODM.

8. After Ruto changed his mind over the efficacy of the new university funding model, the president confirmed that his decisions are not well thought and considered. Soon, he will also come back to Kenyans and confirm that SHA is not working, just like his entire government isn’t. Ruto must also admit that the housing levy is hurting Kenyan payslips and spreading poverty as he gets richer from supplying materials.

9. At the right time, the Linda Mwananchi movement will present a blueprint (manifesto) of what it intends to do to heal the socio-political and economic fabric of the nation. Technical experts will guide each item, so that the movement walks away from Ruto’s culture of a one-man-expert or where the president knows everything.

10. He will answer questions about the different sectors of the economy at a later date, after consultations with experts currently being mobilised to guide the agenda.

11. Jobs for young people is a conversation that we can no longer postpone, if we want to avert a crisis over youth unemployment.

12. All those who keep accusing him of having received money to impeach Gachagua should stop throwing this allegation at rallies and proceed to name exactly who gave out the money and how much. The cowardly behaviour of dropping accusations should stop. Name the sources of the money!

13. He is not attracted to grandiose displays, so those who think his house in the village should be a monstrous structure should proceed to build their own. It is possible to be in politics and stay modest, so he isn’t sold to the idea that every leader in the country must own a massive structure just because opponents think so. He is focusing on serving the people and not on amassing wealth.

William Ruto is Kenya's greatest risk as a country. Not Al-Shabaab and tribalism. Ruto has trained Duale, Murkomen to be thieves and abusive
