Raila Odinga was like the elephant in a dark room.Each of us touched a part of him;a leg and thought him a tree, a side and thought him a wall, a trunk and thought him a hose, a tail and thought him a whip.Only now, with the light on, and him resting with the ancestors do we see the enormity of who he was — good, flawed, immense, divisive and deliberative. An indelible part of 🇰🇪 journey.
Kenya bows its head today.
Raila Amolo Odinga was more than a politician. He was a chapter in our nation’s fight for freedom.
Through detention, persecution, and betrayal, he never lost faith in Kenya’s promise. He carried the burden of our democracy on his back and paid the price for believing that this country could be just and fair.
We may not have always agreed with his choices, but we cannot deny his sacrifice. His voice shook systems. His resilience moved mountains.
History will remember him as a man who walked where others feared to stand.
My deepest condolences to Mama Ida, the Odinga family, and the millions of Kenyans whose hope was once kindled by his courage.
Let us carry forward the unfinished dream of a Kenya where truth is not treason and justice is not a privilege.
Rest in eternal peace Baba.

"Maraga and myself could be the drivers. But we are not more important than the vehicle. The vehicle is the agenda. Kenya doesn’t need a messiah, it needs a mission. The agenda is the vehicle and leaders are only drivers."

The same way Tiktok people came through for Kaluma boy is the same way we should show up for Cop Shakur
Don’t let the government bloggers make you think he did a bad decision for fighting for his country because he was a Police officer
The current tax system punishes ordinary Kenyans. I will replace the 16% VAT with a fair 5% sales tax, easing the burden on families and small businesses. With more money in people’s pockets, our economy will expand, this is how we spark the economic revolution.
How is #SabuniSabuni to mobilize young people to register in millions? This time I don't want to push anything, anyone can take the idea and push by trying to cross-pollinating it and test if it picks.
1. Make creative starter templates
2. Relate sabuni sabuni with washing dirt
3. Tell people to carry a small soap as they register etc
4. Demonstrate the process
And it will have its own legs
@AokoOtieno_ A "mad" man once came to Milton H. Erickson claiming to be Jesus. The psychiatrist didn't dispute his claims. The man was a carpenter too and the psychiatrist told him Jesus was a carpenter. The man took up carpentry and forgot about his madness. Men need a purpose not therapy.
