@taibalitaib Of interest to observe is what he can constructively do with the power currently vested in him, especially do it's characteristic of inertia
Riggy G is yet to be tested in a General Election and the sway he has thereafter on Elected Leaders even as he remains Unelected. So for now he remains like Kampala's Hot Pepper newspaper. Scandalously Interesting
RAILA 6.0
Since 1992 to 2022, many political careers were built or destroyed on the coattails of Baba Raila Odinga … Depending which tribe you belonged, you had a binary choice: make Baba a god or the devil and hurrah, you got elected!
Since his death, many were lost …. They are running around like headless chicken!
Then Rigathi Gachagua happened … Politicians, current & aspiring are choosing sides on worshipping or demonizing Riggy G!
Political careers will be built or destroyed in Wamunyoro! Depending on your tribe! We are back to Raila 6.0!
THE MORE THINGS CHANGE, THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME!
The other day I had a throbbing headache . I never searched anything online, in my mind I said to myself maybe tommorow I need to visit my dentist.
In the morning I wake up and my phone had a reminder listed Dentist Appointment.
How do you explain this madness. 🤔🤔🤔
Do these smart phones have something that read our mind? Spooky .
For the first time ever the Coast has 106 State Appointees. 37% of whom are under 40 years old. This gives a foundation of Statecraft previously lacking in a younger generation. I can give 12 more reasons
Dear TUTAM supporters😏
Why TUTAM?
Why exactly would you want Ruto to rule this country for another term? Please just tell me
Is there something we don’t know?
Are we just haters?
Are we just “tribal”? Feel free
Perhaps you need to re examine your understanding of the fundamental problems facing the Grassroots in the coastal region before you embark on any campaigns for any elective seat.
The tribalist card being played by the likes of Hassan Sarai is dangerously pushing the country to the edge of a precipice. We will not be bystanders, watching silently as division and hatred in being stirred in this country! We will NOT allow anyone to push us back to the realities of 2007-08 post election violence. Kenya is for US all, and we will fight to safeguard the beauty of our Diversity!!

What perhaps I don't understand is when Hassan Omar spoke specifically about the acquisitive excesses of one family, the whole leadership of the Community seem aggrieved.
I have stood against ethnic-based politics when espoused by some leaders in Mt Kenya. In equal measure, I strongly stand against the Hassan Omar type of ethnic baiting that seeks to isolate the people of Mt Kenya. The Tutam movement, to which we remain fully committed, is a national movement that does not legitimize the spewing of ethnic hatred, however couched. As a nation, we have been there before and we said never again! That approach may excite crowds, but it is short-sighted, undemocratic, and can ultimately only be severely injurious to the nation. He owes our nation an apology.
Ever since the 2 sources of wealth creation in the coast - Maritime Commerce and Tourism ceased to be opportunities for the Grassroots of the region to have more than a monthly wage for a few. That's why you see it as bigotry while we may see it as a voice for the unheard.
You look at the likes of Hassan Omar and wonder: how did the foot soldiers and admirers of the second liberation become eager oppressors and ethnic bigots, succumbing to a culture of greed that has persisted since the founding of the Kenya in 1963?

The rush to demonise Hassan Omar without addressing the subject matter he raised reveals that which you seem to prefer concealed. Were the Kenyatta's Opportunistic Profiteers or Not ? Answer that please. This is not about Kikuyus.
Dear UDA Secretary General Omar Hassan;
When you were expelled from university, one of your biggest benefactors who helped you survive Nairobi's hard life was Jomo Kenyatta's political heir and nephew, Hon. Ngengi Muigai. You literally camped in his Bruce House office for cash handouts. Fast forward 2002, you were bossom companion to KANU's, thereafter LDP's, JJ Kamotho. The duo, alongside other Kenyans of Agìkùyù descent, have roled in your life. The last time I saw you, 2 years ago, you were sharing dinner table with Kikuyu elites serving in topmost Ruto regime echelons. You are not the first, but hopefully you can be the last since colonial times to be used as a detractor of our community. You've attained your crescendo since your infamous debacle as fixer at KNCHR for neocolonial ICC witchhunt. Your fabrications fell flat on your face. Ruto knows who you really are, just as Raila did. None of your demonising the heroic role Kikuyus, alongside other patriofic Kenyans, have played in Kenya's struggle for independence & nationhood will blackmail anyone. All of Kenya's ethnic & racial communities are equal before God and our Republic's Constitution. We're all of a shared sovereign identity and pride. Being Ruto's puppet is, indeed, very costly. Tell your evil cowardly master, Kasongo, to speak for himself! Shame on you, Omar Hassan!

The responsibility of the County is to enable commuters to spend as little time as possible going between work and home. Will this cycle lane achieve this better than an expanded vehicular carriageway ? The pursuit of WOW projects is ASN's undoing
Someone can sit in a boardroom and approve such a plan on an already narrow busy road serving Nyali , Bamburi and onwards even Mtwapa Vipingo +++
Links Road is already too narrow for all the traffic due to all the new apartment blocks. A plot that used to house one residence suddenly has 80 apartments which means 100+ cars .
Who needs a flower bed on a major road busy commercial street, links Road is now a commercial road. There is already a pedestrian lane then someone in his wisdom decides to place concrete flower beds ostensibly they think they are beutyfing the place.
Kenya Urban Roads Authority @KURAroads its not too late fix the mess and stop wasting tax payers money. @KeNHAKenya Kenya National Highways Authority . Bw CS Hon. Davis Chirchir. @davis_chirchir please bring some sanity here.
Governor Abdulswamad Shariff Nassir. @A_S_Nassir your team. @MombasaCountyKe also need to push for the right thing to be done .
Unbelievable but we are not giving up
@mustafaramadhn@LivingInNyali
The loud silence maybe because ODM rank and file not only know who has revolutionary blood in them but are also aware the trauma of Joho's 10 year rein hasn't quite been overcome by Mombasa
Listen to that silence...
Listen again...
Would you imagine that CS Hassan Joho @HassanAliJoho gathered Coastal ODM in Kilifi yesterday, and demanded the position of Party Leader, currently occupied by Dr Oburu Oginga @dr_oburuoginga?
Try listening again.
Why isn't there rage and anger about it? Why isn't everyone reminding Joho and ODM Coast that Oburu must be respected? Why isn't anyone telling Oburu to sit hard with two buttocks and ignore those who want his seat?
Has Wanga @gladyswanga heard what was said in Kilifi? Has Junet @JunetMohamed heard? Where are the custodians of the ODM Respectometer to measure for us this one? What does it read on the Respect Scale?
If you remove Joho from those videos and place Edwin Sifuna, and he says only a fraction of what Joho and Coast ODM did, what would Thursday look like today?
There would be pressers from Homa Bay to Mandera. Screams and lamentations. Fidelity and loyalty contests (with Kajwang's video to boot). State House pilgrimages. All media houses reporting an impending expulsion from the party.
But listen to that loud silence today....
The Mjambere Level 3 Hospital will improve access to care for the population in the wider Kisauni sub-county. Strategically located, this facility shall serve the 200,000 plus residents living within a 10 kilometer radius.
This will also bring key services closer to the people easing pressure on the Coast General Teaching and Referral Hospital which shall serve as our county specialist facility. #Mombasa
One of the nicest things happening within the Transaction Wing of ODM is the realisation that Sifuna wasn't even the enemy. Janet Mohamed is waking up to the reality that Okech Salah is the real Somali power link to Ruto in ODM while Gladys Wanga now knows that President Ruto's eye in Homa Bay and the Nyanza region is PS Raymond Omolo. And PS Omolo doesn't blackmail the President with "we will give you ODM in exchange for the DP position".
Which reminds me of the sheer shamelessness of the ODM Transaction Wing. After the 2022 elections, Junet simply disappeared (apparently after attending a few meetings at which he would cry like a baby each time MPs asked him about what happened to Raila's agents and their money during the election). He basically decided to "achia nyinyi chama yenu".
It is at that same time that his sidekick, Hassan Joho, took a sabbatical and went to the USA. For all intents and purposes, they were done with ODM politics. Then rumours swirled that Raila was having talks with Ruto and something may come out of it. Their friend, NIS DG Noordin, was facilitating those talks, so they discovered about them early. Both of them suddenly returned to make claims for one CS post and the Minority Leadership slot, against much deserving people.
Interestingly, these are the people who now keep the "chase list" and are against the exact people who safeguarded the party while they took their sabbaticals. Last month, at the ODM@20 celebrations, for instance, Joho sent Mombasa MPs, one after the other, to declare him the Mombasa County leader, yet the serving Governor, Abdulswamad Nassir, was there. Very humiliating to the incumbent Governor. The people who leave when things are tough, have no moral authority to draw any expulsion list, especially against those who shed tears with Raila and were left alone with him when the Transaction Wing had moved to other business.
Gachagua may be a liar and fool, but there is no way he can name the ODM "salesmen" so correctly if he didn't have details. After all, the sellers started their moves while he was still DP!
It's unfortunate that you brand yourself a champion for the Coastal citizens without neither understanding bias against us nor recognise when one attempts to rectify our marginalisation. Sensationalism is your stock of trade but that won't get you far in your gubernatorial bid
Unbelievable Remarks by the so called Secretary General of a Party we once held high hopes for!
This is not Politics of Economy my friend, this is sheer Politics of Power. Kenyans Today and Their Generations to Come Will Remember You For It and History Will Not Treat You Kindly.
Power That’s Blind To People’s Plight is Bound To Diminish When People Rise. Maskini akipata Matako hulia Mbwata!
@NjeriBt Corruption gives hope to many as it brings into reality the receiving unexpected undeserved cash inflow. Either by extortion or by benefiting from the extortionists being charitable to manage their guilt
This an achievement for the nation but the coastal citizens must celebrate it most. 1st; A native son is shoulder to shoulder with international achievers. 2nd; The coast's economy is entirely Blue Economy based. Livelihoods are set to improve immensely with these initiatives.
Being elected as the Vice President of the 3rd United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC 3) which kicked off today in Nice, France, inspires me as it places us in a pivotal position to advance the interests of Kenya and Africa on the global stage.
As Vice-President of this esteemed global organization, I will have the opportunity to advocate for our country's interests and deliver interventions on behalf of specific groups, including the African Group, at the 3rd Ocean Action. I will also represent our continent at High-Level events related to the conference.
I am optimistic that this role will significantly elevate our country's profile in matters of ocean conservation.
Accompanying me at the conference is Ms. @PS_Betsy_Njagi, Principal Secretary of Blue Economy and Fisheries.
