I just watched the Citizen TV report on Ian Keya, a victim of the Ruto govt.
Photo 1 on the left is him: a gym instructor. Strong. Walking. Alive in the full sense of the word.
Photo 2 on the right is him: in a wheelchair. Shot three times in the back. Cannot walk. That is what this Ruto government did to him in June 2024.
And some of you still have the nerve to say, “Tutam… this government must stay.” “Ruto must stay.”
Stay and do what? Finish the job?
He promised to end the era of trigger-happy police. His government then put more bullets in young Kenyans’ backs than the last one.
And you guys want us to reward the man whose officers turned a protest into a shooting gallery and then left the survivors to crowdfund their own physiotherapy. Ruto Must Go.
KTN has uncovered allegations of Kenyan voter registration materials being moved into Uganda and claims that foreign nationals could be targeted for registration, with the Suam border at the centre of the claims.

This is criminal wastefulness.
There is absolutely no justification for these many busy bodies to spend hundreds of millions of public money on international business return air tickets, 7-star hotel accommodations in one of the world’s most expensive cities (New York), local transportation and colloidal amounts in per diems.
These charlatans should be surcharged for the misappropriation of public funds.
Telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

I was shot 3 times in the back outside Parliament on June 25, 2024. I was among those shot that day and I was the only one who survived. My name was even listed among those who had died. The media did not expect me to make it.
We went out together, my friends never came back. I carry them with me every day. May they rest in peace. 🙏
Over 2 years later I have refused to give up. I have lived through a severe spinal cord injury, chronic pain, sepsis, bladder stones and countless hospital admissions.
I am now asking for help with the costs that come with my recovery; Physiotherapy, medication, follow-up appointments and other medical expenses.
My biggest goal is to keep working on my recovery and regain my independence.
Please support me:

Uganda sent 5: UK sent 6: Others had between 5-10 delegates to UNGA. Your country sent a staggering 84. Weep for your taxes. Hawa wanasaga mali yetu kusaga!

I am shocked and deeply troubled to learn of the enforced disappearance of youth leader Mulinge Muteti at the hands of Ruto's security personnel.
The irony is stark - even as William Ruto stands at the UN General Assembly, a platform where fundamental freedoms take centre stage, his own security apparatus is disappearing young Kenyans back home.
I demand the unconditional production of Mulinge Muteti.

Day by day, you get to understand why H.E said “...acha ningoje tuone kati yenu na mimi, nani atatoroka wa kwanza. Si mnaogopa nitanunuliwa? Lakini hata mimi pia, naogopa mtanunuliwa."
“Nikigeuka nyuma nitawaona?”
Siasa wewe.

The PR agency hired by the Kenyan Government has introduced a new strategy to be used by influencers and podcasters.
They have discovered that many Kenyans are against President Ruto and could be motivated by their emotions to vote out the government in the next General Election.
So, what are they doing? The agency wants to create more fence-sitters ahead of the elections, with the aim of ensuring that the majority of Kenyans have no one to vote for, thereby increasing voter apathy.
The strategy is also aimed at encouraging Kenyans not to be “emotional,” so that they forget or overlook what critics describe as the government’s failures and controversial actions.
That is why you have seen many podcasters and influencers repeatedly telling Kenyans that they are “too emotional” and should stop making political decisions based on emotions.
The rallying call is expected to be: every leader is the same and will simply come to steal.
You have already seen some of your favourite influencers shouting that they are neither “Wantam” nor “Tutam.”
Bomas Cannot Rewrite Your Vote: But is this Judgement Enough?
The High Court has made an important ruling about the 2027 presidential election. In simple words, the court said once a constituency announces and signs its presidential result, nobody at the county office or Bomas should change it. Not the IEBC Chairperson. Not a commissioner. Not an officer. Only a court can change it. That is the correct starting point because the vote does not belong to IEBC, politicians, courts or government. It belongs to the Mwananchi who wakes up, queues, votes and goes home hoping that their choice will be counted exactly as cast. A result from your polling station and constituency is the people’s instruction.
The Court says the National Tallying Centre is still legal. But it has placed a strict limit on it. IEBC may add up constituency results and check whether a candidate has met the constitutional threshold for President. It may not use “verification” as an excuse to correct, replace, cancel or secretly alter a constituency result. That distinction is important. “Tallying” should mean adding numbers. “Verifying” should mean checking whether the numbers being added are the same numbers already declared at the constituency. It must never mean inventing a new result in Nairobi. The national centre is supposed to be an adding machine and not a second election.
However, this judgment must also be criticised. The Court is right that the presidential election requires a national calculation. A President must win more than half of all votes cast and at least 25% of the votes in more than half of Kenya’s counties. That cannot be checked in one constituency. But this does not justify a vague or powerful national verification process. The National Tallying Centre should only answer two questions. First, do the national totals match the final constituency forms? Second, has any candidate reached the constitutional threshold? It should not become a place where officers make new judgments about which votes to accept, which figures to change or which results to ignore. Where there is a disagreement, the constituency form must win unless and until an election court orders otherwise.
The Court was too restrained on ballot reconciliation. The petitioners argued that before results are transmitted, IEBC should clearly account for every ballot paper. How many were issued, used, rejected, spoilt, unused or missing. The Court treated this as an administrative matter for IEBC and Parliament. That is understandable because courts should not run elections. But ballot reconciliation is not a small administrative detail. It is the audit trail of the vote. If nobody can explain where the ballots went, then nobody can confidently say the final figures are accurate. A transparent ballot-reconciliation framework would not interfere with IEBC’s independence but protect IEBC from suspicion and protect wananchi from fraud. It should be compulsory, public and available to agents before results leave the polling station.
The real test of this judgment will be whether the safeguards work on election night, under pressure, when the country is tense and every number matters. Kenyans do not need to be told to trust the process. They need a process that earns trust, one where every form is visible, every number can be checked, every discrepancy is explained, every commissioner sees the same evidence, every agent has access and no official can alter the will of the people in darkness. That is how the 2027 election can be lawful not only in court but also in the eyes of the mwananchi.
Unaona the way Kasongo roams around the country calling the opposition mafala? That’s exactly how he sees Kenyans too. That’s why he can make false promises every time, billions can get lost under his regime with little accountability, abductions still happen, and the same projects can be relaunched more than twice. When he looks at Kenyans, anaona despite doing all those things, there are still some cows who will support him. That’s why he has no reason to change.
The Controller of Budget says that Ruto made roadside pronouncement and promises totalling Kshs 700 billion without budgetary allocation during his Nyanza tour.
Basically, none will be implemented.
But let's cheer on these lies, because Baba left us there to babysit fraud.
