Listen to your body. If you feel tired, slow down. If you feel drained, it's time to spend some alone time. If you feel stuck, it's time to pause and reflect back. Your body speaks long before your mind understands. The tension in your chest. The heaviness you carry around certain people. The exhaustion that no amount of sleep can fix. The overwhelm you feel after scrolling for 2 hours straight. Those are signals. Don't escape them with caffeine, distraction, noise, endless stimulation. Pay attention. Your body tells you everything. Pay attention.
Today marks a historic day when for the first time since independence in 1963, the Parliament will impeach a Deputy President.
For avoidance of doubt, the Senate of the Republic of Kenya (sitting as a committee of the whole House) will impeach the DP @rigathi. Noone in Kenya or the world imagines the decision will be different.
"Gachagua will go home. Ataenda nyumbani"
That is the only dry statement left in the mouths of his critics and adversaries after last night. Even in the mind of his boss @WilliamsRuto the Senators, National Assembly..and all of us. After yesterday's proceedings devoid of the marketplace heckling and which zeroed in on hard facts, the 11 grounds and the law...everyone can see the vindictive spirit behind the impeachment.
Indeed the narrative now is not about how guilty he is. It's about getting the only ONE ground that will emerge and true it will be enough to send him home. But they can't pinpoint the ground. The best thing is to accept that Gachagua is going home for no apparent reason and live with it. Don't be those HR managers who first dismiss you then look for a justification.
I expected KEMSA chief to come with details how he was called to Harambe House by Riggy G and told to award the tender. At least that is what I have been reading. He only hang on the statement that he felt intimidated for receiving a call asking them to return the bond.
I expected the coup plotting details from DCI and NIS. I expected damning link to Gen Z demos and funding from Ford Foundation.
But Riggy G must go home tonight, that is the bottoming. If the flimsy ground will not be the intimidated KEMSA dude, it will be the shareholding. Every Kenyan knows a government is like a company where shares are held. Even Ruto knows it. The only problem is that Gachagua was too truthful to voice it.
I conclude by saying that I hail Riggy G for letting this go all the way instead of coming and resigning. That's the spirit of a fighter and a truthful man. He knows the consequences but had opted to live with them. That is the kind of men we need.
Go well Riggy G. You made your mistakes which all other politicians and humans make. Mistakes that your boss made. Mistakes that are not worth impeaching a Deputy President. But you being Riggy G, you must be impeached.
For the incoming DP, I will talk about you at the right time.
The Ruto administration has made a surprising number of misjudgements but one that stands out is the belief that you can hike taxes without addressing corruption. No-one will be willing to hand over more cash if they believe it will be stolen. A short 🧵 on Ruto’s blunders.

My Bro @LarryMadowo you have all the right to inform the world . You are doing your job but you certainly over doing it and it is only fair that some of us point it out.
Look here no foreign reporter would be posting 6 updates on his FB or Twitter in under 24 hours.
Larry you serve the region , over 15 people died in Rwanda yesterday you didn't fly there or the same floods causing havoc in TZ but you are not covering the same let alone with same zeal.
Openair walkway at JKIA you have a point there and we have also raised it but the current floods all the way to cargo section has NEVER happened and it is a tragedy. Then your sarcastic post ref a tragedy is nothing but cold humor.
I think as a friend and a fellow Kenyan you need to show balanced reporting. I am not even asking you to love your country, if you do that's a bonus.
The positive side of JKIA despite the floods flights still managed to land and take off with a few isolated delays.
I am not asking you NOT to report but surely you are beating yourself too hard please take a break and go cover our neighbours who are also going through serious floods it's not like it's only Kenya going through this mess.
It's time you cut Kenya some slack.
