Here's that infamous video, of the night swearing-in of Mwai Kibaki, on 30th December 2007. Could someone ask Uhuru Kenyatta who won the 2007 elections?
I have just learnt that Senator Cyrus Jirongo passed away last December in a motor accident. I was not aware that he had died.
This is very sad. Jirongo was a good and patriotic leader who served his country with dedication. We shall miss him. My condolences go to his family, relatives, friends and the people of Kenya. May his soul rest in peace.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has revealed that the late Cyrus Jirongo was the one who exposed the irregularities in oil importation deal back in 2019.
The revelations followed Museveni’s exposé, in which he said Uganda had previously procured petroleum products through intermediaries in Kenya, rather than directly from the government as outlined in the G-to-G framework.
Museveni says the revelation prompted him to end the arrangement with Kenya, and begin sourcing bulk petroleum products directly.
The head of Uganda further says the situation only changed in 2023 after Uganda linked up with Vitol, while crediting President William Ruto for helping make the new arrangement possible.
