Today, I was in K'Ochieng', Ndhiwa Constituency, with the family and friends at the burial of Mama Rusandel Akumu Sila, an aunt to my co-party leader, @NetoAgostinhoMP . To the bereaved family and the entire community, may the Lord comfort you.
Here I restated my commitment to democracy and the rule of law. I condemn the passage of the bill on transmission of presidential election results.
Every Kenyan deserves an electoral process that is open, accountable and verifiable. We will challenge this law and keep fighting for an honest and transparent process, where every vote counts and every result can be verified by the public.

What you need to know about natural fruits is this:
• They are not sweet, but sour, tangy or bitter
• They have seeds
• They have a pedicel, peduncle or apical bottom
• They are fibrous
• They are seasonal
• They are not easily spotted when on a tree. They are either black or green
• They are only ripe when they want to fall, so that their seeds can germinate for survival of the tree species
• They are never of the same shape, size or colour
Natural fruits are like this so that you don't eat them.
But if you eat them, you won't eat more than two because they will irritate your teeth, fill your teeth with strands of fibre, or numb your tongue.
Or, the seeds will give you constipation eg guavas.
The fruits don't want to be eaten, just the same way animals and humans fight hard not to lose their lives.
Fruits also want to survive.
However, what people eat today from the markets are not fruits.
They are eating poisonous genetically modified organisms masquerading as fruits.
That is why we call them "modern fruits."
Therefore, if you are suffering from a chronic disease, like HYPERTENSION, DIABETES, ULCERS, CANCER, ARTHRITIS, etc, or you are obese, stay away from modern fruits.
You will hear someone say,
"The doctor said we should eat fruits."
Which fruits?
WAKE UP.

COLLAPSE OF MEA FERTILIZER FACTORY IS A NATIONAL TRAGEDY
Lee Ngugi is a personal friend. He is a legend many Kenyans don’t know. He was amongst the first black bank executives. He was the first black member of Muthaiga Country Club. He quietly built MEA to be the biggest fertilizer company in the region. The new MEA Fertilizer factory in Nakuru is the biggest in Africa outside Morocco.
Kenya leaders have repeatedly said we want to promote local enterprises. And in fertilizer in particular, Government has said we want to produce it locally. MEA has the capacity to supply Kenya & the region.
BUT MEA has sadly not been given the opportunity to supply the local market as briefcase boys import fertilizer. We import fertilizer from Europe instead of supporting our own.
The story of MEA is a sad indictment of how private enterprise that offers opportunities to thousands of Kenya & was to make Nakuru an industrial city is a victim of modern day buccaneers!

When a Kenyan company is looking for a CEO, the one mandatory minimum requirement is MASTERS DEGREE or higher! This has forced many Kenyans to acquire Masters Degrees even when they don’t know what Thesis they wrote as it was sub-contracted to their Professors.
And therein lies the tragedy. With all the Degrees, Kenyan companies have been unable to dig themselves out of holes.
In the US, Apple has just appointed John Ternus has its CEO. Ternus has only one Degree. Apple is valued at us$5Trillion … bigger than the entire GDP of Africa.
Of US 500 biggest companies, 188 don’t have any university degree.
We have put too much premium on Masters Degrees even instead of cognitive intelligence. We end up with charlatans as Ministers, PSes, CEOs & Presidential Advisors!
The struggles at Milele Hotel are another reminder of a very Kenyan habit where institutions keep entering businesses they do not understand, then act surprised when the numbers refuse to cooperate.
Running a hotel requires ruthless attention to occupancy, pricing, service, food costs, staffing, branding and customer experience, not simply owning a building and assuming people will keep showing up.
Kenya would probably function better if businesspeople were allowed to run businesses, churches focused on preaching, politicians focused on politicking and every institution stopped pretending expertise automatically transfers from one field to another.
We have become too comfortable with organisations chasing every available income stream instead of becoming exceptionally good at the one thing they were created to do.
Let businesspeople run businesses, let the church preach, and let everyone else stop learning basic commercial lessons using other people’s money.
Dear career woman, please, when it is time to make a lifetime commitment, do not marry down.
If you want to enjoy both your career and your marriage, be careful about marrying a man you are significantly ahead of academically and financially.
As time goes on your career will grow. Your income will grow. Your exposure and responsibilities will grow. If your husband is unable to grow with you, that gap will eventually become a source of conflict in the marriage.
Do not make the mistake of thinking love alone will close that gap. You may live to regret it.
Choose a man whose ambition, capacity and mindset is greater than yours so you can always look up to him.
If you so desire to be an exception, then good luck to you.
There’s a reason they won’t push this as Grand Coalition, because they know very well this is the kind of coalition that has the potential to serve Kenyans, not their interests.
A Maraga, Omtatah and Sifuna led government has the potential to right so many wrongs in this country. That is exactly why the conversation will quickly shift to who can bring votes, who has numbers and who is “electable”, not because they care about Kenya but because they need politicians they can control and who will protect the very system that has looted this country for decades.
This idea that we need Person A, B or C because they will “bring votes” needs to end.
Go out there and campaign for the candidate you believe in, talk to your family, talk to your cousins, talk to your grandparents, form groups, have conversations, convince people… this is how democracies are won.
No one has a monopoly on votes in this country. As someone once said, THE VOTER IS THE KINGMAKER!!
Why are we waiting for the same political class that helped ruin this country to tell us which direction Kenya should take? Until we understand that the opposition is not a group of wealthy politicians fighting each other but you, the people, demanding better leadership, we will keep surrendering our power to those who have never had our interests at heart.
WANTAM!!
Sifuna claims crowdfunding raised Sh2.2 million from 9,000+ Kenyans in 36 hours . A nice story. But who's funding the infrastructure? The Chancery didn't pay for itself.

Kenyatta 3rd Term
Yesterday they were saying BATUK is so bad because it commits atrocities.
I even understand that they gave interviews to the BBC justifying this.
Today they are saying BATUK is so good, it is the source of their livelihoods.
This level of hypocrisy is obscene.
Gachagua and Ruto need to stop taking Kenyans for a ride. Let’s talk about BATUK…
Gachagua now claims Ruto’s administration demanded a KSh 3 billion bribe to allow BATUK to conduct its military training in Kenya this year. If that allegation is true, then maybe it starts to answer some of the questions Kenyans have been asking for years because, BATUK’s presence in this country has been controversial for years. We’ve heard concerns about environmental damage, unexploded ordnance left behind after training, damaged roads, allegations of misconduct involving some personnel, unresolved court cases, and communities that have spent years demanding accountability and compensation. Yet through all that, BATUK has remained. So if it’s true that a KSh 3 billion bribe was demanded just to allow this year’s training, then it’s only natural for Kenyans to ask whether this is part of the reason so many of these concerns have never been adequately addressed.
But Gachagua also lost me when he said Nanyuki’s growth is courtesy of BATUK.
First things first, we need to stop this slave mentality that makes us believe our prosperity depends on foreign military bases. BATUK sits on hundreds of acres of Kenyan land worth billions. Imagine if that land was put to work directly for Kenyans through agriculture, industry, housing, research or other productive investments that create opportunities for our own people. Why are we being conditioned to believe that our development depends on hosting a foreign army?
And let’s also be clear, BATUK is not leaving Kenya. They are simply not conducting their military training here this year. Their base is still here.
So instead of turning this into another Ruto vs Gachagua political circus, let’s finally have the conversation Kenyans have been trying to have for years. Does this arrangement still serve Kenya’s interests? Have the benefits genuinely outweighed the environmental, social and legal concerns that communities have continued to raise? And is this really the best use of hundreds of acres of valuable Kenyan land?
Morara, while we appreciate you bringing this information to the public, Kenyans must also be very careful with people like you!!!
You built your entire brand on accountability, integrity and exposing questionable acquisition of public resources. You convinced Kenyans that your principles were non negotiable.
Yet the first political home you chose was Jubilee??? A party whose time in government left countless unanswered questions around public land, procurement, mega corruption scandals, politically connected wealth and abuse of public office. Many of the same political figures who presided over that era remain within that political establishment.
So what exactly changed? Your principles or your political address?
If you’re asking Kenyans to scrutinize Kasongo and those around him, and rightly so, then you must also be prepared to apply that exact same standard to the people you’ve chosen to stand with. Accountability doesn’t become optional because you’ve changed political camps. Tell us, hio shamba yote walitoa wapi!!
This is why Kenyans should stop worshipping political personalities. Today someone is exposing one side, tomorrow they’re comfortably seated with another side that carries its own baggage of unresolved questions.
The moment your standards change depending on who you’re standing next to, you’re no longer fighting for accountability, you’re simply participating in selective outrage🚶🏿♀️🚶🏿♀️
If DRC had not burned those Ebola makeshift tents, and we made noise here on 𝕏 , today you would be wearing masks, locked in your house and getting frisked when you leave your town.
The Ebola narrative was a scam, and it should die.
We will not allow these Ebola merchants to sell us fear and terror.
Never, again.
COVID19 taught us a lot.
Just use other means to loot our resources. But, using Ebola? No way.
Kenya's cabinet secretary for health is asking for USD 20 million (KSh2.6 billion) to prepare for the first 100 Ebola cases.
Which Ebola cases? From where?
Ebola Billionaires.
