Rift Valley Leaders are on the ground mobilizing their people to vote as a Block!
Mount Kenya is doing the same.
Coast Region is doing the same.
Western Kenya is in similar mode.
Luo Nyanza is in similar mode.
Kamba people are doing similar.
And so are Somalis.
Politics in Kenya has always revolved around the Big Tribes consolidating its votes then entering into tribal alliances.
To accuse one region of tribalism is stupid hypocrisy!
Our democracy is tribe-centric. Anything else is fantasy.
Speaking during a development cooperation conference in Sweden, former CBK Governor Njuguna Ndung'u said Kenya's President has overrun state institutions, leaving officials to comply out of fear.
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.
WHY SINGAPORE MOVED FROM 3rd WORLD TO 1st WORLD IN ONE GENERATION
1. Its Founder & Architect Lee Kwan Yew was completely incorruptible! He never made any money beyond his official salary. He never acquired any property. His family have the same house they had before he became Prime Minister.
2. Corruption is completely prohibited. Anti Corruption Authority is truly independent & applies the law equally. There are no sacred cows in Singapore. If found guilty of corruption, sentence is harsh & severe & you lose everything.
3. Everyone, & I mean everyone is equal before the law. The law doesn’t discriminate at all. If you break the law, it doesn’t matter who you are.
4. Salaries of public servants are higher than private sector. Teachers & Police are the highest paid. Therefore, the cleverest in Singapore join political, Police, teaching profession & Civil Service generally.
5. Development of the country, access to employment& government houses is absent of political, racial, tribal or religious discrimination. Discrimination of any kind is totally absent.
6. The Prime Minister is BENEVOLENT DICTATOR .. Many Kenyans don’t understand this. A Benevolent Dictator is incorruptible, morally chaste if not celibate, they don’t do any business or make any other money other than official salary, have no skeletons in their closets et al. He leads by example. You share in his vision or step out.
7. Government invests in the best education system in the world. And its brightest join Government.
Is Kenya really capable of imitating Singapore?
Former National Treasury CS, Prof. Njuguna Ndung'u, says whereas institutions in Kenya have the capacity to do the right thing, "the current President overruns all the institutions and that is why everybody in those institutions will have to conform, for fear"
Congratulations,@MiracleMudeyi , on your admission to Yale Law School to pursue a Master of Laws (LL.M.) This is a truly well-deserved achievement.
Your admission is even more remarkable as it marks the first time in 33 years that a Kenyan has received this prestigious Yale scholarship, a testament to your exceptional talent, hard work, and dedication.
I have known Miracle since his days as a law student. I have watched his journey with great admiration. His work at the Platform Magazine to his unwavering commitment to learning and making a meaningful contribution to the legal profession.
His articles in The Platform magazine and our many discussions have always reflected intellectual curiosity and a genuine passion for the law.
This scholarship comes as no surprise. It is the reward for years of discipline, excellence, and the relentless pursuit of knowledge. Beyond fulfilling a personal dream, your achievement will inspire a new generation of Kenyan lawyers.
Keep flying the Kenyan flag high. 🇰🇪
Congratulations once again, Miracle, when you return home with your LL.M. from Yale, Senje will be ready with ululations and dancers at the airport!
Edwin Sifuna tells Yvonne Okwara that her show has brought him problems but also acknowledges that it has contributed to his growth.
Please watch Yvonne's reaction as Sifuna makes the remarks.😊
Don't let anyone tell you kazi ni kazi. You cannot study medicine then the government offers you mjengo- Edwin Sifuna.
We all need to internaliae this. You don't spend 6 years in medical school to be handed a wheelbarrow.
"Kazi ni kazi" is a lie they tell you when they've failed to build an economy. It converts a policy failure into a personal virtue you're supposed to perform.
A graduate pushed into mjengo is proof of a system that trained people for jobs it has failed to create.
H.E Edwin Sifuna has stated that Linda Mwananchi will offer Kenya a government that listens to its people, respects the rule of law, and faithfully upholds democratic ideals and values.
History teaches us that these ideals are the very foundation upon which the world’s most prosperous and stable nations were built. The countries that embraced accountable government, strong institutions, the rule of law and respect for the rights and freedoms of their citizens created the conditions for lasting growth and prosperity.
These values create certainty, certainty attracts investment, investment creates jobs, jobs generate incomes, grow businesses and build prosperity. Ultimately, these values and ideals strengthen the social fabric of a nation.
That is the vision of Linda Mwananchi: a Kenya where government serves the people, institutions are stronger than individuals, enterprise is free to thrive, and every Kenyan has the opportunity to live with dignity and prosper.
