You step outside Kenya for a second, then you will understand how day in-day out political atmosphere can choke a society.
Greedy politicians will never do any good to a country . NEVER
The law is the law. It does not matter for how long the law has been violated. Article 138(1) & (2) of the Constitution, on the Procedure at presidential election, categorically provides:
(1) If only one candidate for President is nominated, that candidate shall be declared elected.
(2) If two or more candidates for President are nominated, an election shall be held in each constituency.
Voting at elections is conducted as provided under Article 86, which provides:
86. At every election, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries
Commission shall ensure that-
(a) whatever voting method is used, the system is simple, accurate, verifiable, secure, accountable and transparent;
(b) the votes cast are counted, tabulated and the results announced promptly by the presiding officer at each polling station;
(c) the results from the polling stations are openly and accurately collated and promptly announced by the returning officer; and (d) appropriate structures and mechanisms to eliminate electoral malpractice are put in place, including the safekeeping of election materials.
From the law above, there is no way the results for the Presidential elections cannot be announced at the Constituency as required by the Constitution. #ReKe #GetitDone #KnowYourConstitution

Wild animals are dying in our national parks due to cyanide poisoning. It started with Elephants, it's now affecting other animals. Sodium cyanide is used to extract gold during mining, and reports indicate that water sources in Amboseli have been contaminated. Illegal mining is happening in our National parks. Kenyans need to raise their voices. Our wildlife must not be sacrificed to protect the interests of cartels.

A petition has been filed at the High Court seeking the removal of Health CS Aden Duale over alleged ethnic incitement and violation of leadership standards
Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah wants High Court to declare tallying and verification at the National Tallying Centre illegal, says results announced at the Constituency level are final.
Former Treasury CS Njuguna Ndung’u has confirmed what Kenyans already know. Ruto has reduced state institutions into frightened departments that obey him without question.
Watching Ruto speak about investor confidence, economic recovery and booming opportunities sometimes feels like watching The Truman Show, where one man lives inside a carefully manufactured world and everyone surrounding him helps keep the illusion alive.
Truman wakes up each morning believing his peaceful town is real, never knowing that the houses, roads, weather, news and people around him are all part of a giant television production controlled from behind the scenes.
Ruto appears to wake up inside a similar political production, where advisers arrive with attractive charts, ministers praise economic growth, bloggers celebrate imaginary achievements and officials assure him that Kenyans are finally enjoying the fruits of his policies.
Outside that carefully managed set, businesses are closing, workers are losing jobs, traders are being buried under taxes and people who once supported entire families are now borrowing money for food, rent and school fees.
In Truman’s world, his wife, best friend, neighbours and colleagues are actors who know the truth but continue playing their roles, smiling at him and repeating reassuring lines whenever he begins suspecting that something is wrong.
Ruto has Cabinet Secretaries, economic advisers, governors, MPs and government propagandists doing exactly that, constantly telling him the economy is performing well, even when almost every Kenyan knows someone whose life has collapsed under his government.
Whenever Truman attempts to escape his artificial town, the producers create traffic jams, accidents, storms and frightening warnings meant to push him back into the comfortable lie they have built around him.
Whenever Kenyans challenge Ruto’s economic story, his government produces another excuse involving global conditions, past governments, dishonest traders, lazy young people or citizens who supposedly cannot recognise the opportunities surrounding them.
The illusion begins collapsing when Truman notices a studio light falling from the sky, people repeating the same movements and a radio station accidentally describing his exact location as he drives through town.
Ruto’s falling studio lights are the empty shops, auctioned homes, unpaid salaries, struggling schools, closed businesses and formerly comfortable Kenyans who have suddenly been reduced to begging relatives and friends for survival.
The clearest sign that the set is collapsing is that the economic success Ruto describes cannot be found anywhere outside government speeches, political rallies, State House dinners and businesses owned by people close to his administration.
The only people who appear to recognise this booming economy are Ruto, his friends, government contractors and officials whose salaries, allowances, tenders and lifestyles are protected by the same taxpayers being told to tighten their belts.
In The Truman Show, millions watching from outside understand that Truman’s world is fake, but the man living at the centre of it remains trapped inside the story created for him by people benefiting from the production.
That is Ruto’s Kenya today, a giant political studio where those surrounding the President keep reading from the investor-confidence script, even as the real country outside the cameras becomes poorer, angrier and more desperate.
The question is whether Ruto genuinely believes the production around him, or whether he knows the economy is collapsing for ordinary Kenyans and simply expects everyone to keep acting until the final credits roll.
Didmus Barasa was today chased away by residents in Kimilili after the money he was distributing ran out midway. His vehicles and public address system were damaged as the crowd chanted, “Sisi ni Sifuna” and “Wantam.”
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.
@lynn_ngugi1@antoneosoul ONE TERM is real. It will happen like a Tsunami , Confusion everywhere , incredible transitioning of a nation. We must break these mediocre ropes holding our potential back. Kasonge kaende kwani iko nini!
Ruto’s Special National Address felt so random and forced. You listen carefully, waiting for substance, but there’s no depth, no value, no direction. Just a lot of words that amount to nothing. Pure nonsense
It almost feels like this administration needed something to dominate the headlines because the numbers are down. Total waste of time
Fellow citizens…WANTAM!
The bill Ruto is pushing MPs to pass — which bars the media from livestreaming election results — is dead on arrival. We must reject it by every means necessary.
