The president should not stand for re-election in 2027. But unless a strong opposition candidate emerges, there is a grave risk that he will continue to take his country backwards https://t.co/aIV48VA8nZ

SAMIA SULUHU IS DRIVING A WEDGE BETWEEN KENYA AND TANZANIA:

Kenyans are shocked that a whole National Parliament of Tanzania and a huge chunk of their Nation's Executive have trooped too low to engage in juvenile rants that demean and castigate a good neighbour like Kenya.

How can it be that patriotic unarmed Kenyans who cross into a neighbouring country can be arrested, held incommunicado, tortured and deported by a nation with whom we share a National language and whose people and ours overlap in origin, decent and culture more than 60%?

It is quite saddening to see the artificial war being created between Kenya and Tanzania by people who do not appreciate the history of this region:

1. Leaders come and go, but nations remain. The long cherished friendship between Tanzania and Kenya and their people should not be put to unnecessary test for the sake of one or two individuals.

2. We all agree that the boundaries between all African countries were drawn arbitrarily by the colonialists. Kenyans and Tanzanians are one people and should not be divided. If the colonialists didn't succeed, no current leaders will.

3. Regions of the world are coming together to form viable economic blocs. Whether it’s the BRICS, G20 or G7. Good relations are the root of peace, stability and prosperity.

What's wrong with us Africans? How do we build the East African Community to resolve the violent conflicts in Somalia, South Sudan, DRC, and our economic problems if we are engaged in petty bickering?

4. We all appreciate that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We do not accept the draconian heavy-handed approach against opposition politicians in Tanzania.

In the twenty-first century, those who seek to govern must seek the consent of the people through persuasion, not coercion. They should get into office through the ballot and not the bullet.

President Samia Suluhu should embrace her opposition counterparts and stop persecuting her opponents.

Tanzania as a nation has now grown way beyond single party dictatorship, and it is shocking that individual leaders remain stuck in a past that's no longer viable.

We call upon the leaders of the East African Community, IGAD and the AU to engage in meaningful dialogue that will deescalate any unnecessary tensions between the citizens of our region for the sake of international security, peace and effective mobility of people and goods across our borders. We call for the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms of opposition politicians in Tanzania.

People are dying because of Aviator.

We all know someone who has been affected, and in some cases, it has ended in suicide.

This is no longer just about gambling, it’s about lives being lost.

Where is NIS? When deaths start piling up like this, it’s not just a social issue, it becomes a national security matter.

Why hasn’t there been action? Why hasn’t this been flagged as a threat? My guess is that very powerful people are involved, and that’s why nothing is being done. But silence is not an option anymore.

Please NIS DG Noordin Haji something must be done here!

The recent MoU between Raila’s and Ruto’s parties follows a long tradition of intractable enemies coming together to get rich, block reform and survive in Kenyan politics.

Appalled by the criminal regime's adamant refusal to free Dr. @kizzabesigye1, whose continued detention without trial not only violates the Constitution but also slaps the Supreme Court and its recent decision in the face. He is evidently sick and frail and in need of urgent medical attention. Perhaps his shocking images look good to Museveni, who is persecuting him, and his son, who says that Dr. Besigye will only come out of prison in a coffin or after kneeling down before his brutal father!

I call upon all citizens of the world to join us in demanding for the immediate freedom of Dr. Kizza Besigye and the other prisoners of conscience. While these are definitely very dark times for our country, I want us to find courage in the song which Dr. Besigye loves to sing: DEEP IN MY HEART, I DO BELIEVE WE SHALL OVERCOME SOME DAY.

As a proud Kenyan Somali, I strongly believe that national identification is more than just a document it is a symbol of belonging, security, and national integrity. That is why I firmly stand against granting Kenyan identification to Somali citizens from Somalia without a proper vetting process. At the same time, I believe Somali Kenyans should also be vetted to ensure that our citizenship records are accurate and that every rightful citizen is recognized. This is not about division; it is about fairness and safeguarding our country’s future.

The recent cancellation of the vetting process in Northern Kenya is deeply concerning. This is not just a bureaucratic decision it opens the door to an unchecked system where anyone can obtain Kenyan citizenship without scrutiny. No country in the world operates this way. Without proper vetting, we are essentially erasing our borders and allowing a free-for-all situation that could have serious consequences for our national security, governance, and resources.

For years, there have been legitimate concerns about people from Somalia illegally acquiring Kenyan identification, making it difficult to distinguish between true citizens and those who have taken advantage of weak processes. If we do not address this issue, we risk diluting our national identity, overstretching our public services, and creating security vulnerabilities. A transparent and fair vetting system is not about discrimination it is about protecting Kenya and ensuring that every citizen gets what they rightfully deserve.

I urge my fellow Kenyans to pay attention to what is happening. This is not a small issue it is a turning point for our country. If we allow this to continue, we may wake up one day in a nation where citizenship means nothing, where security is compromised, and where our future is uncertain. We must speak up, demand accountability, and push for the reinstatement of a thorough vetting process. This is about Kenya’s sovereignty, safety, and the rights of its true citizens.
