Today I paid a courtesy call on my good friend and former colleague, Hon. Tiya Galgalo, Commissioner at the National Land Commission.We had a candid discussion on the future of Isiolo and Kenya, and the urgent need to restore integrity, accountability, and effective leadership in public service.For too long, Isiolo has dominated the headlines for the wrong reasons. Our county deserves better. The time has come to reject failed leadership and embrace a new era of competence, unity, and development that will restore hope and unlock Isiolo’s immense potential.
I am pleased that Hon. Tiya Galgalo has declared her candidature for the Senate seat. I wish her every success as she seeks to serve the people. Leadership is about service, vision, and delivering results—not empty promises.
The future belongs to leaders who unite people, inspire confidence, and put the interests of wananchi first.

Pleased to have witnessed the Assent to the National Disaster Risk Management Bill, 2023, by H.E. President Dr. @WilliamsRuto, among other key legislations, at State House, Nairobi.
Proud of our contribution as the State Department for Special Programmes, where we previously domiciled disaster management, in championing and supporting the development of this critical Bill aimed at strengthening Kenya’s disaster preparedness and response framework.
The Act now establishes a robust legal and institutional framework, including the National Disaster Risk Management Authority and County Disaster Risk Management Committees, to enhance coordination, early warning systems, and timely response across both levels of government.

Wakili, I borrowed money from a bank and issued my land parcel as security. The bank has now sold my land unprocedurally. What should I do?
To answer this question, we must ascertain what unprocedural exercise of bank's power of sale means.
The Land Act 2012 gives procedural steps that a bank must fulfill before selling your land to recover the loan.
Firstly, under the Banking Act, the loan has to be declared non performing. This means that you have failed and/or breached paying the loan as agreed.
Once the bank declares the loan non performing, the bank issues you with 90days statutory notice reminding you, nature of your default and the need to rectify it within those 90days.
If you don't comply within the 90days, the bank might choose to sell the land as one of its remedy. If the bank decides so, it must further issue 40days Notice of Sale to you.
Thereafter, if you are still not in a position to remedy your default, the bank proceeds and does a forced sale valuation and issues Letter of Instruction to Auctioneer.
The Auctioneer prepares Notification of Sale and serves it upon you together with a 45days redemption notice. This means that the Auctioneer is giving you another 45days to repay the loan and their fees so that they don't proceed with sale.
After the Redemption Notice by Auctioneer and you're yet to comply, the Auctioneer does Advertisement of sale in local newspapers. The Auctioneer does not do sale until lapse of 14days after the Newspaper advert is done. This further gives you more time!
After the lapse of 14 days newspaper ad, then the Auctioneer can lawfully and procedurally proceed and auction your land. You can challenge it in court but the court won't hear your sentiments so long as these notices were properly given to you.
If there was a lapse in giving any of the Notices herein, then the ultimate sale will be declared null and void for want of procedure. Why do the Land Act give these procedural safeguards?
It's because of your equity of redemption which simply means that you have the right to get your land back by paying off the loan so long as it is yet to be sold. Pay your loan, get your land back. This is express in Section 102 of Land Act.
Bottomline, the Notices imposed above MUST be issued to you. If they are not, you have statutory right to seek relief from court and set aside the sale!

Another protester has reportedly been shot by police and rushed to hospital.
How many more Kenyans must bleed before this stops?
Enough with police brutality.
Enough with police killings.
This is the situation in Moyale.
Citizens came out to protest alleged abductions by police.
Now a protester is reportedly dead after police opened fire.
How many more Kenyans must die for simply speaking out?
We stand with the people of Moyale.
Enough with police brutality.
Enough with police killings.
A government that fears its own people should alarm every Kenyan.
BREAKING: Moyale is bleeding. One protester has reportedly been shot dead by police as demonstrations continue over alleged abductions by police.
Despite the gunfire and fear, protesters are still on the streets. This is becoming a national crisis. Developing story.
There are two types of PhD:

2. Persistence, Hunger & Determination.
Both will teach you a lot about philosophy but,
One will lead you to academic freedom, the other will lead you to financial freedom.

Swanya Ogeto: It is our submission that such an important exercise to remove the DP from office, who was elected by the majority of Kenyans in each gazette polling station in the country, required a similar methodology and participation to remove him from office. Despite the Persons with Disabilities Act of 2025 requiring free sign language and braille in public forums. The Gachagua impeachment exercise failed to provide even the most basic reasonable accommodation for this 5% of the population with special needs regarding the exercise, which was unconstitutional as per Article 54
Elisha Ongoya: I have reflected on a number of unjust trials in human history. The trial of Sir Thomas Moore, Socrates and Jesus Christ. One element characterizes these trials: they are trials carried out with predetermined outcomes. Those taken through the trials are taken through the motions for the sake of it. The motions that the first petitioner was taken through at the National Assembly and the Senate of Kenya passed the test of malicious compliance.
Ogada: Impeachment is not a political ritual; it is a constitutional trial, so without procedure, the process becomes arbitrary, and this directly undermines constitutional supremacy. Absence of procedure means absence of legality. Impeachment is a quasi-judicial process, not a political vote
Our unity as a nation is our greatest strength. It is the foundation of our stability, our progress, and our shared future. We must, therefore, reject anything that seeks to divide us.
On our part, we are working with leaders across the country to deliver our ambitious development agenda. Together, we are building one united nation, focusing on a future that works for every Kenyan.
