Spent yesterday turning 64 surrounded by the people I love most - and today I'm back at it.
People ask when I'll slow down. The honest answer: building things is what keeps me young. Every pitch, every deal, every founder who's convinced they can change the world - that's the fuel.
Thank you for all the birthday messages. I'm still reading through them. 64 and still hungry. Let's go. 🦈
I have been suspended from the @Senate_KE for three sitting days for REFUSING to withdraw the word “yapping” in describing the President’s ROADSIDE declaration on undocumented immigrants.
I respect the Chair, but I will not surrender the constitutional duty to speak truth to power.
Article 135 requires PRESIDENTIAL decisions made under the Constitution to be in WRITING , SEALED and SIGNED. A roadside utterance cannot acquire the force of law simply because it comes from the President.
If calling out UNCONSTITUTIONAL governance is punishable, then the greater danger is not the word “yapping”. It is the growing intolerance for accountability.
Three days outside the Chamber will not silence me. I will continue to defend the Constitution and the Kenyan people. https://t.co/PkvYwrBgq5
On Earth, solar eclipses happen when the Moon passes in front of the Sun as seen from the ground. On Mars, sometimes one of its moons does the same thing…but they’re too small to fully cover the Sun’s disc. Perseverance captured this look at Phobos transiting the Sun in 2024.
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!!
The next person who wants to lead this country needs to stop telling Kenyans they have a plan. We are tired of hearing about plans. You already know the problems!!
Odious debt, corruption, a broken education system, a struggling health sector, unemployment and the high cost of living and so much more. None of these issues are new. Tell us exactly what you are going to do about them.
Kenyans don’t need another campaign built on slogans and promises. We need specifics, timelines and accountability. Anyone asking for our vote should first tell us, in detail, how they intend to fix this country. We already know the problems. What we’re waiting for are the solutions.
This business of saying, “We’re meeting, we’re consulting, we’ll unveil our agenda when the time is right,” is not going to work anymore. The time is now. Tell Kenyans how you will deal with the debt, what laws you will change to fight corruption, how you will fix public hospitals, what reforms you will make to education, where the money will come from, what you will cut and what you will prioritise.
WANTAM!!
Finally someone has said it.
If you think any of these clowns will change anything, you're doomed. Just wait for the day they will finish the last life you've got and go die
I have completely failed to understand what happened. Few months ago we were very sane. We had ambitions,we had meaningful goals,we were very clear on what we wanted and what we dont want.
Saa hii sasa naona mmekorogwa and you have gone back to your normal settings of observing politics like its an afro sinema show we’re watching
If you see the cabal Edu has sorrounded himself with,and the cabal standing behind Gachagua without negating the fact that he is also a crook,you will realize theres nothing we’re doing here.
All this drama is for nothing! Absolutely nothing!
It the same Raptors that were there when we celebrated Uhuru for two terms,the same ones that were there when Ruto was elected,that are still flying around positioning themselves for the next storm
Whether sifuna,Gachagua or any of these other products of corrupt politics win. Ruto will lose nothing,even if he loses that election . All the money he has stolen with his dogs,kina sudi and murkomen is gone
Because they wont jail him,as they should
So do not get too excited for this drama you’re seeing,the real picture is the level of suffering that awaits you
Furahieni drama kabisa,nugu izi
@razikamin Let them count their percentages, but we will count our principles, because a vote cast for the truth is never a wasted vote, and we will not compromise the soul of this nation for the comfort of political convenience. Viva! ✊🏾✊🏾
THE SHYLOCK NEXT DOOR
You would never let someone use your ID to borrow money from a Shylock, then expect you to repay the loan. You would call it THEFT.
So why are we so quiet when it happens to our country?
Kenya’s public debt now stands at about KSh 12.8 trillion. This year, about 91 percent of the taxes we collect will go to paying debt, not improving hospitals, schools, roads, or supporting counties.
We feel it every day through higher taxes, delayed county funding, delayed and reduced capitation, struggling public services, and fewer development projects.
Debt is not the problem. Debt without clear results is.
Every Kenyan is paying for these loans. Every Kenyan has the right to ask one simple question.
What did we borrow all this money for?
Your name is on the bill. Your voice should be part of the conversation.

Certain conditions 🤦🏿♂️
Those conditions are what we rejected in 2024, like the motor vehicle tax which they've found a way to bring back as the yearly inspection
The approval comes as a major relief for Ruto's administration, which first requested the money in 2024 but faced delays after it failed to meet certain conditions. https://t.co/DhOdrx7Lw0
