For the first time, I am with President Suluhu on this. Why should she be forced to speak their language? Russia uses its own language, so she would need a translator anyway. Shouldn't she speak Swahili instead, forcing them to need a translator too?
@GunnerAfrican Sifuna stands to capture the organic, anti-establishment anger sweeping the country. In 2027, the vote may not split along traditional Luhya sub-clan lines; it could easily split on a vertical line of the establishment vs. the people.
@Mastardcesh The mother is involving her son in a relationship that is temporary & financially motivated. The boy needs a strong, permanent masculine role model, parading a temporary Western visitor in front of the child destabilizes the boy's understanding of family, authority, and manhood.
@Mastardcesh Labeling this "beautiful love story" is very naive, the relationship is strictly transactional, a low-value man who couldn't find high-quality partner in the West and a female hypergamy involving her son in a relationship that is temporary and financially motivated.
@jimNjue_ Loyalty to Gachagua means trusting his strategic decisions. If he decides to contest following consultations or chooses to endorse a different candidate, you should rally behind that choice.
@OkiyaOmtatah@Senate_KE@EACCKenya What is your legislative 'silver bullet' that will turn these audit reports into charge sheets and recovered billions?
@OkiyaOmtatah@Senate_KE@EACCKenya Mr Okoiti, tell us which specific laws you are tabling to strip the corrupt of their protection. We need a game-changer, not another speech for the Hansard.
@OkiyaOmtatah@Senate_KE@EACCKenya Mr Okoiti, simply requesting a statement is like asking a thief for a progress report on the stolen goods. You will be met with the same rehearsed excuses and bureaucratic jargon we’ve heard for decades.
@OkiyaOmtatah@Senate_KE@EACCKenya Push legislation that once the Auditor-General flags "Irregular Expenditure" or "Loss of Funds," it serves as an automatic legal summons. The EACC should be legally required to file a status report in court within 60 days, or the leadership faces removal for dereliction of duty.
@OkiyaOmtatah@Senate_KE@EACCKenya Push for a Constitutional Amendment to Article 157. We must grant the EACC independent prosecutorial powers for economic crimes. By removing the ODPP as a "middleman," we eliminate the primary bottleneck where high-profile cases go to hide or be "withdrawn for lack of evidence.
@OkiyaOmtatah@Senate_KE@EACCKenya Weakness in law is that state must prove a crime happened to seize money. We need a law that shifts the burden: if a public officer’s assets exceed their known income by a certain margin, the law should presume the wealth as proceeds of crime unless the officer proves otherwise.
@OkiyaOmtatah@Senate_KE@EACCKenya Chasing people in court take years due to slow judiciary. Alternative is aggressively expanding civil asset forfeiture. Focus less on jail time & more on seizing unexplained wealth, land, & bank accounts. When corruption becomes a high-risk, zero-reward venture, incentives change
@OkiyaOmtatah@Senate_KE@EACCKenya Legislation should be passed making it mandatory for the EACC & DCI to open investigations within 14 days of the Auditor-General publishing an "Adverse" or "Disclaimer" audit opinion. Accountability shouldn't require political goodwill; it should be an automatic legal trigger.
@OkiyaOmtatah@Senate_KE@EACCKenya If granting the EACC prosecution powers is deemed a violation of checks and balances, Kenya could create a autonomous, specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office completely separate from the standard ODPP tasked solely with acting on Auditor-General and EACC files.
@OkiyaOmtatah@Senate_KE@EACCKenya Amend the Constitution to Give EACC Prosecutorial Powers. If the EACC is given the teeth to prosecute its own cases (like Hong Kong's ICAC), it eliminates the bottleneck at the ODPP. It can no longer claim its files were "frustrated" or "withdrawn irregularly" by another office.
@CopShakurkihara This is sacrificing a lower level operative to prevent them from testifying against higher-up and framing it as an isolated case to gives the public a "villain" to focus on, while creating the illusion of accountability while the core machinery remains intact.
@Polymarket The belief that the U.S. can seamlessly control it without triggering a catastrophic global economic shock or a wider world war is fundamentally flawed.
