Politics is the authoritative distribution of resources and values, determining who gets what, when, and how. Human beings, in their intrinsic nature, are political beings. You may not want an elective political seat, but you are already in the realm of politics.
I really appreciate the confidence and the thought behind this. It genuinely means a lot to even be considered🙏🏾 But I’ll be honest ,I don’t feel called to step into politics.
I’ve watched some of the bravest, most grounded journalists enter that space and slowly lose what made them powerful in the first place. And sometimes it doesn’t even feel accidental… it feels like the system is designed to wear people down or set them up to fail.
For me, I strongly believe in doubling down on what I know and do best. That’s where I feel most effective, and that’s how I believe I can contribute meaningfully. So I’ll have to respectfully decline, but I’m grateful you thought of me.
And if I ever run, I am going for President or Senator 😂😂😂 Appreciate you Bravin🙏🏾
The Kikuyu-Luo proletariat rivalry is a manufactured venture of the political class, perpetuated by their factotums who misconstrue the benefits they reap individually as communal. This is the steady diet that sustains the ethnic bigotry unleashed online as political takes.
Residents in Nakuru have been staging street protests for five consecutive days, demanding the immediate release of Brian Odhiambo - dead or alive - after he was apprehended and disappeared by KWS. The protesters, majority of whom are Kikuyus, don’t give a damn about B.O’s tribe.
And this here, is precisely the problem about Kenya. An MP issuing an executive fiat while Kenya has a functioning Head of Public Service; the senior-most civil servant and the bureaucrat in charge of official public policy direction.
Going forward,the government will guarantee security and all civil servants MUST show up at work.Those who won’t turn up would be deemed to have absconded duty.
Even Farouk Kibet, Ruto’s Personal Assistant - who is not a government official because the President’s Private Secretary is Reuben Maiyo - has been addressing Kenyans, proclaiming roadside government policy positions, most recently on the country’s taxation regime.
Maiyo is Ruto’s Private Secretary- diary man. Farouk is his Personal Assistant- errands man. Chirchir is his personal strategist- the brains man. Farouk handles what requires thorax for William, Chirchir comes in with finesse. Not a surprise bounce back to Cabinet.
Recently, Ruto claims that the police is independent and doesn’t take orders from him. Today, in his deceitful character, he has admitted that he actually orders the police, and that he’s sanctioned them to investigate the macabre killings of Kware. Evidence kwa kalatas!
Mr. @WilliamsRuto, revolutionary patriots, GenZs and Millennials have RECALLED you. Pack your bags and VACATE @StateHouseKenya BEFORE July 16th. We will bring you and your accomplices to justice. #RutoMustGo
With immediate effect, William Yiampoi, the long-serving head of security to President William Ruto ceases being the Commandant of the Presidential Escort Unit (PEU), transferred to the National Police Headquarters as Director of Operations.
