Jofri,
As you retreat to think through and plan your role in the June 24th and 25th protests, as well as Saba Saba, we wish you well.
In the meantime, let me congratulate my good friend Kalonzo Musyoka for finally agreeing with his running mate, Edwin Sifuna, that the name of their coalition shall be Ukombozi Linda Mwananchi Alliance.
They have also agreed on their preferred Nairobi team. Babu Owino will run for Governor, Irungu Nyakera for Senator and someone you do not like for Women Representative.
I know you had previously advised that Nairobi should have a Kikuyu Governor. They have respectfully rejected that suggestion and settled on their own lineup. They are equally aware that you would have preferred Irungu Nyakera to challenge for Babu Owino's Embakasi seat, but they are comfortable with the arrangement they have chosen. In any case, Nyakera himself says you have mistreated him, I am sure you agree with that, especially with all the money he has given DCP.
As you take your rest, the team will be in the mountain, demonstrating they do not need you to make entry. Linda Mwananchi will be in Thika on 11th June and in Meru on 21st June.
Whether they have your blessing or not, Kalonzo's foot is firmly on the accelerator. It is good to note you have agreed to move the announcement of a candidate from next year to this year, because SKM will unveil his bid in August
Towards that end, Ukombozi, Linda Mwananchi Alliance has already attracted 7 parties that will sign an MOU in the next few weeks to kick-start their new vehicle.
Eugene Wamalwa, JB Muturi, Lenny Kivuti, Kawira Mwangaza, Irungu Nyakera and Kalonzo will all bring their parties on the table to put pen to paper and start their run behind SKM.
Yesterday, Fred called Kalonzo on loudspeaker. My two friends sitting on opposite sides listened in and had a good laugh about your famous 45-day timeline.
One of them remarked, "He is basically saying negotiate with me within 45 days. In reality, you only have 44 days left to give me a deal."
The other burst into laughter as he agreed with the analysis. You can probably guess who was who.
As for you, continue planning your role for June 24th and 25th. You have an established predictable pattern, like in 2024 it is prayers in the mountain with your phone off and then after your role is done, Mombasa.
For now, as usual.........
Sina mengi ya kusema kwa sasa.
@HonMoses_Kuria Unfortunately for H.E. @rigathi Gachagua, it's OVER.
He will not even have an opportunity to build a toilet using CDF Money.
The Higher Courts will uphold Impeachment.
The only provision that H.E. Rigathi Gachagua appears to be relying on is the RIGHT TO A FAIR HEARING (Article 50).
He was given an opportunity to be heard, but questions have been raised about his ABSENCE from the PROCEEDINGS, including whether SUFFICIENT DOCUMENTED PROOF of ILLNESS was PROVIDED during the process.
The High Court must today tell us whether GACHAGUA'S DECISION to RUN AWAY and not to PARTICIPATE in the PROCEEDINGS, and the subsequent MIDNIGHT GAZETTEMENT, were UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
During the arrest of the Nairobi County Planning CEC by the @EACCKenya, we made critical observations BEYOND THE HEADLINES, serious observations that cannot be brushed aside:
1>:
They allegedly collected Kes 250 million, yet they announced Kes 65 million, effectively showing Kenyans a MATHEMATICAL MIDDLE FINGER worth Kes 185 MILLION. That is not accounting. That is ARITHMETIC INSULT.
2>:
The Kes 250 million was discovered in a Syokimau house. And any keen observer will tell you plainly: That house looked LESS EXECUTIVE and MORE BEAT, and it did not MATCH the MAGNITUDE of money it was allegedly HOLDING. Something does not add up.
3>:
And let it be said clearly, if the CEC was truly the mastermind of corruption collecting such an amount of cash as they want us to believe, then he would not be residing in such a QUASI-HUMBLE ABODE. NO. Clearly, he is not the principal collector for himself. HE IS COLLECTING on BEHALF of SOMEONE ELSE.

UNLESS, of course, this is the UHURUTO'S BRAZENLY RAGTAG graft MODUS OPERANDI, an engineered system, a political machine built around exploiting the DOUBLE JEOPARDY LOOPHOLE in CRIMINAL JUSTICE. And let me break it down, step by step, how this game is played:
1>:
FIRST, identify one SCAPEGOAT, just one, who will carry the weight of a MASSIVE GRAFT NARRATIVE, while ensuring there is absolutely no trace of the real perpetrators behind him.
2>:
SECOND, ensure the alleged crime is the same one pinned on the scapegoat, carefully timed within the TENURE OF THOSE WHO actually control the system when the dust was being stirred.
3>:
THIRD, conduct KANGAROO INVESTIGATIONS, pre-packaged, pre-scripted, and present a POORLY ASSEMBLED file to the @ODPP_KE for sanctioning. And of course, the ODPP approves, because he/she understands the script, always after alleged instructions from above, and because he/she is already EMBEDDED in the PROSECUTION ARCHITECTURE anyway.
4>:
FOURTH, stage a DRAMATIC FRIDAY ARREST, prime time optics, while simultaneously notifying the TWO “ABAGUSI ” BAIL/bond ADVOCATES, because in this theatre, EVERYONE MUST EAT.
5>:
FIFTH, arraign the suspect on Monday, and ask the MAGISTRATE/JUDGE for more time, setting the stage for the next act of the performance.
6>:
SIXTH, while the COURTROOM DRAMA unfolds, the bail advocates move in, NEGOTIATING in APPEARANCE, but COORDINATING in SUBSTANCE, presenting themselves as though they are bargaining for lower bail, while the judge exercises “DISCRETION” between Kes 500K and Kes 60 million depending on the alleged offence.
7>:
SEVENTH, the Kes 10 million COMPROMISE is reached: "KES 1 MILLION official bail to the Government of Kenya, and KES 9 MILLION routed through the ECOSYSTEM of BAIL ADVOCATES, money allegedly shared across ADVOCATES, PROSECUTION circles, and JUDICIAL HANDLERS."
8>:
EIGHTH, the suspect walks free on a NEGOTIATED BAIL, while the entire PRE-TRIAL THEATRE is BROADCAST and DRAMATISED for PUBLIC CONSUMPTION.
9>:
NINTH, because the entire process is a COORDINATED SCRIPT, the DEFENCE ADVOCATE confidently submits a “NO CASE TO ANSWER ” argument, claiming the prosecution FAILED to ESTABLISH even a PRIMA FACIE CASE.
10>:
TENTH, the “BUDDY JUDGE ” delivers the expected line, GUILT NOT PROVEN BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT, and enters an ACQUITTAL.
11>:
ELEVENTH, and here lies the LEGAL SHIELD: "DOUBLE JEOPARDY in criminal JUSTICE". Once ACQUITTED, the same matter cannot be RE-LITIGATED again, even IF NEW EVIDENCE SURFACES LATER in another ADMINISTRATION.
12>:
And that, PATRIOTS, is the DRACONIAN MODUS OPERANDI at play. A system so REFINED, so REHEARSED, so SANCTIFIED even with BISHOPS heading EACC, that it raises a painful question: "HOW MANY TIMES is JUSTICE PERFORMED, and how LONG WILL KENYANS REMAIN STUPID WHEN VOTING?"
The court may have reasoned differently and not in a straight line:
1>:
H.E. Prof. @KindikiKithure also has a NON-DEROGABLE RIGHT not to be subjected to inhumane treatment.
2>:
As a result, Kindiki's appointment was upheld as LEGITIMATE.
3>:
The Constitution DID NOT envisage the EXISTENCE of TWO INCUMBENT DEPUTY PRESIDENTS at the same time.
4>:
One set of rights was BOUND to GIVE WAY, whether we like it or not.
5>:
That makes the prospect of reinstating H.E. @rigathi Gachagua appear unreasonable. It is easier to preserve the rights of an incumbent office-holder (Kindiki) than to unsettle the position in favour of someone who is currently outside office (Gachagua).
6>:
The COURT OF APPEAL, and possibly even the SUPREME COURT, may well arrive at the same interpretation.

High Court Judges:
"We don't know what title to give this fella, H.E. Rigathi Gachagua. He can proceed to the higher courts to determine whether he is a FORMER DP or an IMPEACHED DP.
In the meantime, he can take this Kes 50 MILLION to PAY his LAWYERS, because all parties must bear their own costs."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If the @Senate_KE committed any wrongdoing by refusing to succumb to RIGATHI GACHAGUA'S ILLNESS THEATRICS during the impeachment process, then at worst the alleged issue would relate to a single procedural question under Article 50 on the RIGHT TO A FAIR HEARING, and even then, the record shows that he was afforded ample opportunity to defend himself.
On the other hand, H.E. Rigathi Gachagua has repeatedly made INFLAMMATORY AND DIVISIVE TRIBAL REMARKS, including recent statements on INOORO FM where he openly acknowledged that CLEOPHAS MALALA had been urging him to ABANDON THE ETHNIC MOBILIZATION NARRATIVES associated with @DCP_Democracy politics.
The question before Kenyans is therefore simple: WHICH CONSTITUTIONAL TRANSGRESSION CARRIES GREATER WEIGHT?
The allegations against Gachagua touch on no fewer than six constitutional provisions:
1>: Article 10: National Values and Principles of Governance.
2>: Article 27: Equality and Freedom from Discrimination.
3>: Article 73: Leadership and Integrity.
4>: Article 75: Conduct of State Officers.
5>: Article 232: Values and Principles of Public Service.
6>: Articles 129–131: Principles Governing the Exercise of Executive Authority.
Viewed through this lens, the IMPEACHMENT WAS NOT MERELY JUSTIFIED, it was ARGUABLY INEVITABLE.
The HIGH COURT now has an opportunity to provide clarity to the nation. It must tell Kenyans whether an ALLEGED PROCEDURAL CONCERN involving a SINGLE constitutional provision should OUTWEIGH REPEATED CONDUCT THAT OFFEND MULTIPLE CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLES at the very core of national unity, leadership integrity, equality, and responsible governance.
Can ONE ALLEGED PROCEDURAL irregularity ECLIPSE CONDUCT that, according to critics, strikes at the heart of six separate constitutional obligations?
That is the question the Court must answer today, NOT only for the parties before it, BUT FOR THE FUTURE OF CONSTITUTIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY IN KENYA.

Furthermore, the VOTING PATTERN suggested that, REGARDLESS of the ILLNESS issue, there was overwhelming support for the impeachment motion, raising the question of whether HIS PARTICIPATION would have ALTERED the ULTIMATE OUTCOME.
