😱WHAT⁉️CONSTITUTION ASIDE⁉️
Any regime that assumes it can "leave the Constitution aside" has completely lost the plot and rendered itself ILLEGITIMATE‼️ William Ruto and his gang of "wazee", who apparently enjoy rights that "vijana wadogo" like Edwin Sifuna do not, has exposed its absolutely LAWLESS mentality. No wonder they behave with such reckless impunity. August 10th, 2027 cannot arrive fast enough. These violators of OUR CONSTITUTION must be defeated at the ballot and then swiftly subjected to thorough investigation, prosecution and punishment as may be appropriate in each case.
🤬WILLIAM RUTO IS NOT RESPECTABLE‼️ #WANTAM #RutoMustGoToJail
I remember Okiya Omtatah saying that affordable housing is theft and Kenyans are being robbed. He even warned Kenyans not to try buying those houses. And in just two years, its already raining.
Maraga to WILLIAM and anyone who has looted public resource. The next government is going to be very lethal to leaders who have been involved in corruption.
Did you all hear Kimani Ichung’wa in Obinna TV say that he has been encouraging people to buy affordable housing and use them for BNBs?
And then he quickly noticed he has spilled the beans by mistake??
Yes, that’s what they said was for “Mama mboga”. Let me look for that video.
82 - Bukayo Saka has won Arsenal 82 points via his goals and assists in the Premier League.
This moves him past @IanWright0 as the outright fourth-highest points winner for the club.
Iconic.

PRESS STATEMENT

STANDARD GROUP CONDEMNS ABDUCTION OF ITS SENIOR EDITOR, DEMANDS HIS IMMEDIATE AND SAFE RELEASE
The Standard Group PLC confirms that shortly before 9:20pm this evening, our Associate Editor, Alex Kiprotich, was abducted along the Gilgil–Nakuru road while travelling to Nakuru. We do not know where he is as we issue this statement.
This is the second time in as many months that Mr Kiprotich has been targeted. On 27 June 2026, armed men in a Toyota Probox a vehicle model repeatedly linked to enforced disappearances of government critics in Kenya, tried to seize him from his car as he drove to work in Nakuru. He got away by locking his doors and driving off. That attempt came days after President William Ruto publicly criticised this Group over its coverage, and our own investigations traced the vehicle to the National Police Service's Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau. No one has ever been held to account for it.
Tonight, that threat has been carried out.
We do not believe this is a coincidence. Mr Kiprotich has been at the forefront of our editorial output, including reporting that has scrutinised the conduct of the State, and tonight's abduction bears all the hallmarks of a targeted attack on a journalist for doing his job.
We believe it may be linked to elements within the State seeking to intimidate this Group into silence. If that is confirmed, this is not simply a crime against one man. It is an assault on the Constitution of Kenya, on the freedoms of expression and of the media guaranteed under Articles 33 and 34, and on the right of every Kenyan to independent information.
We say this plainly and without equivocation: the Standard Group holds the State responsible for Alex Kiprotich's safety and his life, and for anything that happens to him while he remains missing. Protecting the life and liberty of every citizen is the State's first duty, not an afterthought, and Mr Kiprotich's safety now rests entirely in its hands.
We are demanding:
1. The immediate, safe and unconditional release of Alex Kiprotich.
2. A prompt, transparent and independent investigation into his abduction, and into why no one has ever answered for the attempt of June 27, 2026.
3. Real, visible guarantees that journalists in Kenya will be protected, in keeping with commitments the President has already made publicly and has so far failed to honour.
We are calling on the Independent Policing Oversight Authority, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, the Law Society of Kenya, the Media Council of Kenya, the Committee to Protect Journalists, and everyone who values a free press in this country, to demand answers alongside us until Mr Kiprotich is found safe.
We will keep the public informed as we learn more, and we will not let this matter quietly fade from view.

The President had the report. Kenyans had a right to know what was inside it. For nearly three years, it remained unpublished.
Maraga gave the government 7 days. The deadline passed. He kept his word and released the report to Kenya
Milk scarcity in Nairobi for 3 weeks now. No explanation.
KAA staff on strike. No communication. Passengers find out on transit to JKIA.
El Nino is coming. National, county govts are waiting for deaths.
Kenya is on autopilot. Nothing works.
That Man is a disaster. He Must Go.
I don't think many Kenyans have understood the weight of the figures David Maraga released yesterday.
According to the former Chief Justice @dkmaraga, 3,958 Kenyans have been killed by police since President William Ruto came to power, an average of roughly 990 deaths every year.
Now put that number next to the country's terrorism figures.
Available Kenyan terrorism data records roughly 343 terror-related deaths between 2022 and 2025.
That means the number of Kenyans Maraga says have been killed by police is more than 11 times the number of people killed in terror-related violence over the same four-year period. Think about that.
We have spent years being told to fear Al-Shabaab terrorism, and violent extremism as some of the greatest threats to our national security.
And rightly so.
But what does it say about the state of our country when the number of people reportedly killed by the police is an order of magnitude greater than those killed in terror-related attacks?
The police are supposed to protect citizens from violence.
They are supposed to be the institution standing between citizens and those who want to harm them.
The State gives them uniforms, guns, training, and extraordinary powers because we are supposed to trust them with our lives.
So when thousands of citizens are reportedly dying at the hands of the very institution tasked with protecting them, this is no longer simply a conversation about police brutality. It is a national security question.
Who is protecting Kenyans from those who are supposed to protect Kenyans?
And perhaps that is the figure we should all be struggling to comprehend: 3,958.
Not a statistic.
Not a political talking point.
3,958 human beings.
3,958 families.
3,958 stories.
3,958 people who did not go home.
And if a terrorist organization killed anything close to that number of Kenyans, we would quite rightly call it a national catastrophe.
So why should the identity of the person holding the gun change the seriousness with which we treat the death?
A terrorist killing a Kenyan is a threat to the State.
A police officer unlawfully killing a Kenyan is also a threat to the State.
The difference is that one is supposed to be our enemy. The other is supposed to be our protector.
Migori Governor, Ochilo Ayacko in 2024 receiving a donation of DNA/PCR Machine from CDC.
The same governor in 2026 claiming that he spent kshs 220 million to buy the same machine he received as free donation from CDC.
The guy isn’t just a goon but is also a thief.
Then you will hear him in a podium blaming Kikuyus and marginalization for the problems facing the people of Migori.
They used to fear mass rallies. Now they fear open tabs, cross-referenced data, and people who know how to connect the dots.
Why? Because a crowd can be dispersed. But an informed population sharing verified facts in real-time? You can't tear gas a network.
JKIA has ground to an almost complete halt. Tourists are being robbed in the capital city by militia. Govt is unbothered. Wait until 3 people assemble with a Kenyan flag and a placard. The govt will deploy all police units because, 'Hatutaki mharibu nchi.'
Fools in power. 🚮
