We have sufficient laws to deal with the twin issue of undocumented immigrants as well as those working without legal authorization. The problem with public pronouncements by the President is that often they assume the character of official government policy.
If you’re easily incited to hate on fellow Africans, you also can be easily turned against your own neighbors, communities and tribes.
Politics of division doesn’t start and end with tribalism.
A beautiful soul has been plucked from us. 💔
Winnie was a truly wonderful human being,kind, hardworking, dependable and someone who always showed up.
She was a fighter and always looking for ways to improve herself and make things around her better.
I had the privilege of working with Winnie four years ago, and her work ethic was exceptional. She was meticulous, had an incredible eye for detail and always wanted to understand what was happening around her. She was constantly learning, building and looking ahead.
Winnie, I will miss your check-ins, your kindness, your warmth, your determination and those conversations about life, work and Baby K.
Rest in eternal peace, Wakili. May eternal light shine upon you, and may your soul rest in peace. 🕊️
To Baby K, Winnie's family, friends and everyone who loved her, my deepest and most sincere condolences.
Hours after KTN exposing Peter Kaluma as a goon, and one who paid goons to kill and rape people in Homa Bay, Nation Media invited him to talk about good governance... Garbage...
To @WilliamsRuto: Stop using fellow Africans—whether Burundians, Rwandese or Tanzanians—as the excuse for your failure to create employment opportunities and economic prosperity for Kenya.
You have addressed a gazillion of international and continental conferences where you have pretended to be a pan-Africanist, while in Kenya you are stoking xenophobic rhetoric against our neighbours. That is reprehensible.
An African should be free to visit, settle and work in any African country of their choice, as long as they are not committing any crime.
Leave Africans in Kenya alone!
An MP can order people to “disappear” and still walk free.
A citizen says “one term” and suddenly the law remembers its job.
ARREST KALUMA NOW
ARREST KALUMA NOW
I watched the expose last night . I have always maintained that we still have very good officers in the Police Service . The Homa Bay County Police Commander is one such good specie . He admits helplessness in favour of the State coordinated violence with pain . Watched Hon George Peter Opondo Kaluma describe the police commander as stupid in despicable luo accent with no joy that this is an Mp who sits in the Parliamentary security committee. That such a leader must s still spewing hatred and vitriol without being brought to book is telling . The Governor is a daughter, a sister , a wife and a mother ! State sponsored thugs eat their masters in the end . In our lifetime we will see them brought to the Law someday God willing .
Abdi Sebo the goon of Gladys Wanga and Peter Kaluma was summoned by DCI he never showed up. Police were not sent to arrest him the same way they did to Albert Ojwang
KANU & KADU were registered in 1960 and KANU won the February 1961 election. NARC was formed in 2002 and won the 2002 general election with a landslide. PNU was formed on 16 September 2007 and it participated in the 27 December 2007 election under Former President Mwai Kibaki.
A new Bill has been proposed in Parliament that seeks to restrict access to some state information by classifying it as Top Secret, Secret, Confidential or Restricted.
The Bill could allow some information to remain classified for up to 30 years.
How the Abduction/Killer squad operating under DCI evolved into a full blown political militia.
For years, allegations of a shadowy “killer squad” operating in Kenya attracted nowhere near the public outrage they deserved. Its existence was treated almost as an open secret: terror suspects would allegedly be abducted outside the ordinary criminal justice system; wealthy individuals and foreigners would disappear, some later turning up dead; and private citizens with the right connections could enlist the services of people linked to these networks. The most disturbing feature was always the suggestion that those involved operated outside the conventional police chain of command, answering instead to figures whose identities and authority remained deliberately obscure.
For a long time, however, most Kenyans could regard this machinery as something that happened to other people: suspected terrorists, criminals, foreigners or individuals caught in murky disputes, even when they abducted and deported Miguna Miguna nobody cared to raise the alarm cause they thought it’s too far from happening to them. That distance made indifference possible. But once widespread public dissent began to threaten the political establishment in 2024, the same methods appeared to migrate from the shadows into ordinary political life. Suddenly, a critical post on X, participation in a protest or outspoken opposition to the government could allegedly be followed by abduction, detention incommunicado or disappearance. And many times death like Albert Ojwang and Denzel Omondi.
If these allegations are borne out, what Kenya is confronting is not the sudden invention of political repression but the expansion of machinery that was tolerated while its victims remained socially or politically distant. The script did not fundamentally change; only the pool of potential targets did. A country that once looked away because the violence seemed confined to the margins is now being forced to confront what happens when an apparatus permitted to operate beyond law and accountability eventually turns its attention towards everyone else. Now they target anyone indiscriminately, it is so bad that even govt officials live in constant fear of this rogue police squad including the Inspector General of police.

President Mwai Kibaki once called his driver "bure...pumbafu sana". The crowd in attendance went wild with laughter and when the event was broadcast, so did the nation. The moniker pumbafu became an everyday insult, albeit jokingly. What Kenyans did not know was that the object of the insult was one Zachary Kariuki. Kariuki was President Kibaki's driver and had parked the armoured vehicle on grass.

The goons started with attacking protestors, then looted businesses, infiltrated political rallies and now they have found you on the expressway, that highway for the elite, lofty above the common citizens problems. By the time they climb your fence it will be too late. Komesha!
If confirmed, this is the first concrete lead on the identity of the direct and indirect perpetrators, and should be followed up with bulldog tenacity by @IPOA_KE@HakiKNCHR and @NPSOfficial_KE.
We want heads to roll. We want the whole abduction crew uprooted: root, stem & branch. The time is now. @interi
I’m informed by a counsel, the said person named in the abduction of Alex of @StandardKenya, Ronald Chemosit testified in court not long ago on camera before Hon Lucas Onyina in a fertilizer scandal. As a matter of fact @NationMediaGrp covered that story. Please go to archives.
Kariuki is no ordinary officer. While stations across the country go without cars or fuel, he has 17 vehicles assigned to him. Insiders at DCI say his fleet includes 14 new Subarus, one D-Max, a Ford Ranger and a Toyota Double Cab. The source says the many Subarus that were doing rounds during protests belong to his unit.

Despite repeated attempts by the Standard Group to ask the head of DCI to take action, DCI boss Mohamed Amin has refused to allow sleuths to come and lift fingerprints from the vehicle Kiprotich was abducted from. During the abduction, the four heavily armed and masked men left their fingerprints on the windows, doors and windscreen.
