Day One, egg-man says that high level intelligence indicates that a Kalonzo-Sifuna ticket is a done deal within the joint opposition
Day Two, egg-man has high level intelligence showing that a Kalonzo-Matiangi ticket is the deal, and Sifuna "will be given Foreign Affairs".
Aren't they the ones who accused the same Sifuna of "selling the party to Wamunyoro?" Now they are presenting tickets that don't have Wamunyoro?
You can see that egg-man and his bosses are all worried about where Sifuna will end up. What they don't yet know is that the opposition will run one candidate and will send Ruto and his kleptocracy back to the village.
Now let's wait for egg-man's Day Three ticket. It must be Sifuna-Kangata with Kalonzo proposed as CS for Happiness.
Breaking : The William Ruto Govt is now planning to sell Kenyan data on eCitizen to anyone who can afford it.
Through the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Digital Economy (MICTDE), the government is proposing a National Data Governance Policy that would create a state-run data marketplace.
The justification?
Generate extra government revenue.
Treat data as a "strategic national asset."
This may go down as one of the worst policy proposals ever put forward by a Kenyan government.
First they borrowed.
Then they raised taxes.
Then they sold state assets.
Then they securitized future revenues.
Now they want to monetize the data of ordinary Kenyans.
How much is enough?
When you give your information to the government, you do so because it is required to access public services, not because you expect the government to package that information and sell access to it.
No wonder every institution is being pushed onto eCitizen. Schools. Hospitals. Government services. More and more information is being centralized under one platform.
And before the defenders rush in, this is not just about whether names are removed or not.
The bigger question is this:
At what point does a citizen stop being a citizen and become a product?
Today they call your data a "strategic national asset."
Tomorrow what else will they decide is for sale?
A government that sees citizens primarily as a source of revenue will never stop looking for new things to monetize.

The foolishness and desperation I see in this country is quite nauseating. A city county employee is caught with millions in cash, and crackheads immediately blame "Sifuna's oversight" for it.
Let's see all the things Sifuna should be....
Sifuna the bedbug hiding in lodging beds to stop county fat cats from exercising illicit liaisons with bleached high-maintenance slay queens on the taxpayers' tab.
Sifuna the CCTV furiously recording Njoroge the private developer delivering cash to Analo and his planning team for purposes of approving a skewed structure in the city.
Sifuna the fierce German Shepherd who stands at all entry points of Nairobi to bark at and bite all people with ill intentions from entering the city.
Sifuna the prophet who can tell that people appointed to public office will immediately purchase suitcases and build secret compartments for hiding cash looted from the public.
Or Sifuna the omnipresent benevolent spirit who will fly around the city at night ensuring that all employees of the county, starting with the Governor down to the street cleaner, are warmly tucked in their beds and not moving around striking nocturnal deals involving cash in sacks.
Everyone knows what Senate oversight involves. Everyone also knows that nearly all counties are being looted at alarming levels. But the looting is rampant because it is a regime thing.
Who was supposed to oversight the petroleum sector officials found with Kshs 500 million?
Who is supposed to oversight the runaway State House expenditure?
From the County Assembly to the National Assembly to the Senate, there is a big problem over who is letting people carry sacks of cash around.
It is not actually a bad thing when people demand that Sifuna stops everything, including unblocking the Nairobi drainage system, because it speaks to the high hopes placed on him. Which in turn is a challenge to the voter to do better next time.
These are in fact the expectations that everyone placed on Raila.
But I see people who don't even vote in Nairobi getting very excited about Sifuna not stopping one individual from hiding millions in the house, never mind the fact that intelligence and investigative agencies, as well as the employer, should have been first to sniff the offender out.
The Ruto government is just too much. These guys wake up every single day just to conjure up more ways to cause pain to Kenyans. I know we are expected to keep government in check as opposition but it’s literally impossible to keep up with the breadth and depth of the capacity for evil these guys have. It doesn’t have to be like this bwana. When we tell you just kicking Ruto out solves 80% of our problems you best believe! Just like he did with Haiti and now Ebola, for the right amount, this one can sell us to the devil himself!
In Emurua Dikirr, the DCP candidate told women that he doesn’t have money to bribe them or enough DCP merchandise to dish out like the UDA candidate. But the women told him he didn’t need to give them handouts,, they would turn out to support him wholeheartedly because he is their son. Today, the women turned up in large numbers wearing green carrier bags on their heads, a symbolic gesture showing that they are ready to support him to the very end. This comes a day after Ngeno’s wife hosted them & gave each woman 1k in support of the UDA candidate. Kipsigis people are something Else!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
The biggest threat to Ruto’s second term is a united opposition.
There is propaganda that Ruto will simply rig his way back, but rigging is not as easy as people make it sound. Rigging requires serious intelligence, serious coordination, serious logistics and a disciplined political machine, and Kenya Kwanza may be loud, arrogant and aggressive, but that does not mean they have the capacity to quietly manage every moving part of an election without exposing themselves to a bigger crisis.
The bigger danger for Ruto is the possibility of a last minute national mood swing where Kenyans wake up close to the election and decide in large numbers that Ruto must go. That is the counterattack I am talking about. Not chaos, not violence and not online excitement, but millions of ordinary Kenyans making a quiet decision in their homes, villages, towns, churches, markets, workplaces and polling stations that enough is enough. When people are divided, confused or hopeless, power can manipulate them, but when many Kenyans arrive at the same conclusion at the same time, the system starts shaking.
Personally, my worry is bigger than Ruto. It is bigger than Kalonzo and bigger than whoever else imagines they can inherit power. Whether the next president is Ruto, Kalonzo, Kuku or anyone else, things will still be bad if the poisoned system remains untouched. The country is not well. People are broke, businesses are closing, families that were stable two or three years ago are now struggling, rent is choking people, food is expensive, school fees is a nightmare, jobs are scarce and hope itself has become expensive.
This is where the opposition is also failing because they are talking politics but they are not seriously addressing the issues affecting Kenyans. Kenyans do not just need a replacement for Ruto. They need a serious plan for the economy, taxation, public debt, corruption, police brutality, unemployment, healthcare, education and the cost of living. Without that, removing one group and replacing it with another will only change the names of the people eating while the country continues bleeding.
As I have always said, only Kenyans themselves will take back this country, rectify it and set serious systems. Not politicians, not tribal kingpins and not fake reformers who become silent immediately they get appointments. Keen people know that time must come, and it may come slowly then suddenly.
No matter who is at the top, Kenyans will eventually realise that the system itself is poisoned, and once that realisation becomes national, it will be very bad for anyone who takes over. Kenyans will not just be asking for a new president. They will be demanding a country that finally works.
I have tried to contain this anger but I couldn't help but channel it to you my fellow Kenyans.
Kimani Ichungw'ah was in London.
On your budget. Looking at fuel prices.
He came back to tell us London diesel is Ksh350 per litre.
He is correct.
Londoners enjoy free healthcare.
Functional roads.
Lights that stay on.
A government legally accountable to its citizens.
A minimum wage that pays rent.
A woman who delivers in a hospital with electricity.
You cannot borrow London's fuel prices to defend your failures and leave London's governance on the shelf.
That is not a comparison.
That is a man who traveled at your expense and came back with excuses wrapped in first world statistics.
When you provide London services, we will discuss London prices.
Until then, sit down and wait for Tuesday. We want you to tell us that straight to our faces on Tuesday!!
Dismas wa Tabu. Dreaming in installments. Billed in full.
William Ruto 'went for broke' in 2022 and very nearly went broke. Had it not been for some timely intervention from Minnesota, he would have grounded some of his choppers towards election day. Three short years down the line the Husler-in-Chief now literally owns Kenya. With extensive personal, prospective and proxy commercial interests in SHA, ECITIZEN, Safaricom, Nation Media, KPC, KICC, JKIA, KPA, etc William Ruto is today one of the richest men in Africa if not the world. The only problem with this is the fact that his meteoric fortune has not been acquired through innovation or industry but at the expense of poor struggling overtaxed Kenyans and a battered economy. You, fellow Kenyans, are funding and financing one man's legendary obsessive personal ambition and unbridled greed. This has got to be the greatest Mchanga in history. MUST GO MUST GO
#RutoMustGo
@AokoOtieno_ You’re too kind wisdom is a shared republic, not a private throne. Even Socrates claimed he knew nothing, yet questioned everything. And as Plato would nod, the throne must cast the shadow not the courtiers.
