I left a very valuable item with my jacket on the SGR. I realised 45 mins later and called the SGR hotline. They said they'd checl and call back. They called back 13 mins later confirmed that the items have been located and guided me on how to get them
#SGR#kenyansarewatching
The instructions were so clear. I went back and got my items intact and I didnt have to jump walls. Nobody expected a bribe. I realised most kenyans have so much good will. I dont know why we accept to be giverned by greed, self-centred individuals. #SGR#kenyansarewatching
William Ruto was elected to punish Kenyan voters for electing bad leaders.
He's not in office to bring development but to show Kenyans what incompetent, clueless & corrupt president can do when given an opportunity to lead.
#UBAgilgil#Gilgil I went to a public kenyan high school. We had fire drills. For all the 4 years i knew what to do in case of a fire, which exit to use etc. There were fire extinguishers in the common areas and outside the bathrooms. There was even a fire hose in every house...
Parenrs need to hold schools and the government to higher account. Schools should stop building all over the place for fun. Fire safety is important. Drills shpuld be done. Trainong should be done. Kids should never die in a fire whole they sleep. Whoever is responsible for..
@moneyacademyKE A serious country would not have him as the president at this point. A well-functioning parliament would have impeached this incompetent PhD holder.
Kenyans are living on a leaner income (due to invest taxes), and trying to adjust for higher cost of living. Ruto's presidency is doing the opposite. We don't even have good education or healthcare to show for it. I said it, Ruto is a rich conman.
Kenya deserves leaders of integrity, not endless controversy.
@rigathi Gachagua rose to high office under a cloud of serious corruption allegations involving billions of shillings. Even the courts have questioned the source of his wealth.
But this story did not begin there.
In 1997, he was dismissed from the civil service while serving as a District Officer in Laikipia over gross misconduct. A matter he has never fully explained to the public.
In July 2021, he was arrested by the DCI at his Nyeri home over allegations of money laundering and abuse of office, tied to vast sums of money flowing through accounts associated with him.
Even within his own family, disputes have spilled into the open. Relatives of the late Nyeri Governor, Nderitu Gachagua, have raised concerns over the handling of a multibillion-shilling estate. Claims that remain contested, but serious enough to demand clarity.
Then came the unthinkable. For the first time in our history, a sitting Deputy President was impeached by constitutional institutions over violations of oath, divisive rhetoric and conduct deemed unfit for office.
This is a pattern that raises urgent questions:
Can we trust leadership weighed down by persistent integrity concerns?
Can a nation unite under divisive politics?
Can accountability mean anything if we ignore such a record?
I have challenged the impeached former Deputy President to state clear facts and stand firmly on integrity. If he wishes to lecture the nation, he must be ready to answer every question, not just the convenient ones.
It is untenable to shoulder a 1.5% housing levy, 2.75% SHIF deduction, 6% NSSF contribution, and a staggering 30-45% PAYE , only to still grapple with exorbitant school fees, skyrocketing rent, punitive fuel prices, and endless medical fundraisers because SHIF remains woefully inadequate.
