Repost if you want Manchester United to sack Michael Carrick after the international break

@carras16 WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOUR ONLY JOB IS TO MAKE THE TEAM BETTER… BRENT FORD ARE WAY BETTER THAN US.

- Amorim made these players train with high intensity.
- Carrick shortened training sessions and dropped the intensity.

- Amorim got rid of Rashford and Garnacho because of discipline. He showed players their place and tried to bring standards back.
- Carrick brought Rashford back and starts him EVERY SINGLE GAME despite everything that happened.

- Amorim raised the physicality and fitness levels of these players.
- Carrick didn’t even make them run in pre-season and these players are running less than literally EVERY opponent.

Michael Carrick has DESTROYED literally every bit of progress made over the last 2 years. I was a big advocate for him getting the permanent job, but man… WHAT A WASTE OF EVERYONE’S TIME.

The Chairman of IEBC and his Vice Chair are determined to force the discredited MIRU Systems Technology from South Korea into the 2027 General Elections for financial gain and to bungle the elections.

After they suspected that the scheme would face exposure and public scrutiny showing how they tailor-made the specifications and sneaked them into the tender to have a predetermined outcome, IEBC commissioners tried to force officials in the Directorate of Supply Chain Management and the Directorate of Electoral Management to own the specifications in defence of the Commission in the case filed before the Public Procurement Administrative Review Board challenging the skewed procurement in favour of MIRU Systems.

The officials have firmly refused to give false testimony to facilitate corruption and electoral fraud.

Consequently, the Chairman and his Vice Chair have victimized officials in the two departments and transferred all of them, except the compromised head of department, to far-flung counties and replaced them with cronies.

Patriotic IEBC officials have sought me out from my short holiday and requested me to inform Kenyans of the rot, the intimidation, and the plans to bungle the 2027 General Elections.

It is my belief that the Public Procurement Administrative Review Board will also show patriotism to the country and cancel this tender in its ruling later today.

It is my considered opinion, following advice from procurement experts and IEBC insiders, that it is not technically possible to procure a new election management system given that the elections are 11 months away, and there is practically no time to facilitate digital migration from the current system and address whatever inadequacies are anticipated.

Again, there is real and genuine fear that the change of the election management system at this late hour is a scheme to interfere with the voters' register, mostly in areas where Mr. William Ruto has been openly rejected.

I call upon the IEBC to call off this tender and instead upgrade the current system to address the few shortcomings identified so far.

Lastly, I call upon the IEBC Chairperson and Vice Chairperson to stop the harassment and victimization of staff who have chosen professionalism and patriotism over manipulation and corruption.

Mr. Chairman, do not throw Kenya into chaos and anarchy. Do not subvert the will of the people of Kenya. Leave Kenyans to make their decision at the ballot. You live in Kenya, you have access to the people, and you can hear what they are saying about sending this regime home come 10th August 2027.

Be patriotic, Mr. Chairman!

THE STANDARD GROUP PLC
PRESS STATEMENT

Nairobi, Kenya

September 1, 2026

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.

GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER,

OVERNIGHT: Prominent Kenyan editor abducted by gun-wielding men after series of newspaper stories critical of President Ruto and his government.

Journalism is not a crime

[Muthoni Wa Muthomo @WanjuguGM]

Alex Kiprotich was found dumped in Masinga dam.

The intention was to kill him. He was saved by the video that KTN posted immediately the abduction happened. Muuwaji has no shame and cannot control himself #RutoMustGo
