The political elites in Mt Kenya led by Hon Rigathi Gachagua and H. E Uhuru have all the right to reject and robustly campaign against the re-election of President William Ruto. But it's ill-advised of them to beat the drums of ethnic bigotry, vile hatred and cast it an zero sum ethnic game. Tribal jingoism has no place in today's Kenya and one can vociferously campaign againt Ruto without shouting loud that he is a Kalenjin...not that there is something wrong with belonging to a Kenyan tribe. Our politics, instead should be mature, civil and accomodative. This high-octane tribal politics played in Central Kenya to charge the emotions of Wanjiku and raise ethnic temperatures is both dangerous and counterproductive.

@skmusyoka If I were you, I would pull down this tweet. It just confirms your double speak and melon like behaviour. You can't hack it

@susankihika Forgive the gullible. Many s times, it's a problem of little knowledge

@Gijoukhalifa @NakuruFinest3 @susankihika @RobertAlai Do you really know the economy of the State of California? The world's fourth largest economy. Sometimes give true picture hata kama ni propaganda

[Bernard Namunane @Namunaneb]

You can say it again. Very apt line of thought

Let’s address the elephant in the room because I feel like many people don’t want to have this conversation😳

So the plan is to vote for Sifuna simply because he can help get Ruto out? As long as Ruto is gone, then we’re good? Haven’t we been here before? Isn’t that exactly how Ruto benefited from the anger against Uhuru&Raila ?
And before that, wasn’t Uhuru’s victory also driven in part by a wave of sympathy over the ICC cases and the feeling among many supporters that it was time to stand with him and push back against those they believed were targeting him? Look at how Uhuru’s administration left this country? Haven’t we already seen where voting out of anger or emotion, instead of demanding better leadership, leaves this country?

The next election cannot just be about who is most likely to defeat Ruto. It has to be about who has a clear plan to deal with corruption, protect the Constitution, end abductions and extrajudicial killings, fix our broken healthcare system, reform education, create jobs, reduce the cost of living, tackle public debt, restore independent institutions and ensure there is real accountability in government.

I understand the thinking. The common enemy is Ruto, and the enemy of my enemy quickly becomes a friend. But I refuse to believe that after everything this country has been through, Kenyans are ready to settle for people with serious questions hanging over them simply because they are the fastest route to removing one man from power. A perfect example, Aisha Jumwa😂

We cannot keep voting against someone. At some point, we have to start voting for something. Otherwise, we’ll keep changing faces while the system that keeps failing Kenyans remains exactly the same.

@ivymuthe Little knowledge is very dangerous

@susankihika This is a problem of Ill-informed bloggers using the sensitive and emotive health issues to misiform the public. These are relatives and kind of patients who, due to long distances, opt to stay at the hospital as patients undergo treatment. NTRH serves 8 counties

@Maryian96 When you've no idea about what happened to Tim Wanyonyi, better shit up. Regurgitating garbage for points sake is utter rubbish

[Bernard Namunane @Namunaneb]

@JimmyKings8 Some rumours require a bit of intelligence

[Bernard Namunane @Namunaneb]

@MuneneODG Fake

[Bernard Namunane @Namunaneb]

Late Kibaki retired, went home. No family member in politics. But ahoi, what's it with Uhuru?Can't he quit political space? What's he afraid of? What bothers him? Destroying our economy? Now patronizing Edwin Sifuna. Piper calling tunes

[Bernard Namunane @Namunaneb]

@City_Dren Very ironical from a man who never won a World Cup. Doesn't understand the feeling of winning a world cup

@FerdyOmondi In the absence of nuclear energy, Kenya will still depend of fossil driven energy to develop. Apart from geothermal and hydro, which other source generates base load power? Wind and solar can be described as "light" power. They can't drive an economy on their own

To all the Arsenal fans, thank you for everything, from the bottom of my heart.

Tuchel is to blame for England's loss to Argentina. You kill your wings, you sub off your best defensive midfielder, play defensive against an attack minded team, leaving your prolific winger on the bench. Immediate sacking

[Bernard Namunane @Namunaneb]

@FerdyOmondi This is how Kenya lost the Uganda pipeline deal to Tanzania. Why do people keep erecting obstacles to development? Oh Land! oh environment! Big investment upset status quo. The economic impact of the Dangote refinery towers over everything.

[Bernard Namunane @Namunaneb]

The Dangote oil refinery in Lamu will create thousands of jobs, attract billions in foreign investment, lower fuel import costs, strengthen our energy security, boost exports, and stimulate industrial growth. Commercial activists keep off

[Bernard Namunane @Namunaneb]

@DavidNdii Ticking all boxes aside, the Dangote refinery is the project to position the Lamu Port and revive the fledgling LAPSETT vision. Direct and direct job opportunities, economic impact for Lamu and Coast region. Don't allow commercial activists to scooper this project
