@komu36 @KURAroads @DavisChirchir8 @JohnMbadiN @KRB_Kenya The biggest headache is Katani residents raise funds to fix the roads, then trucks and there rains wash them away. We need action today, KURA, not tomorrow. #KURAroads

@KURAroads @DavisChirchir8 @JohnMbadiN,@KRB_Kenya 7 years after the tender award, the mehta quarry road remains neglected despite endless meetings to restrict lorries. Residents deserve action, not promises. #FixSyokimauKatanimissinglinks

Calm Down. Football Did Not Start in 2005.

Every time Arsenal fans breathe, someone shouts “21 years without a league title!” as if Arsenal invented waiting.
But let’s remind every football fan of history, because some people started watching football after Wi-Fi was installed in their house.
Before you mock Arsenal, remember your own history.

🔴 Liverpool
1990 → 2020
That’s 30 YEARS without a league title.
Three full decades of waiting before they finally celebrated again.

🔵 Manchester City
1968 → 2012
A massive 44 YEARS without winning the English league.

🔴 Manchester United
1967 → 1993
Yes, the same United that talk the loudest went 26 YEARS before lifting the league again.

🔵 Chelsea
1955 → 2005
The club people now call “serial winners” waited 50 YEARS before winning the modern Premier League.

Now suddenly Arsenal’s 21 years is being treated like a century of suffering.
Funny.
Football didn’t begin with Roman Abramovich’s money,
Football didn’t begin with Pep Guardiola,
Football didn’t begin with Klopp
Football has always been cycles.
Great club rise.
Great club falls.
Then great clubs rise again.
Arsenal have not disappeared.
We rebuilt.
We trusted the process.
We built a young team.
And now the world is watching again.
Hate us.
Mock us.
Laugh at us.
But remember this:
Every giant club in England has gone through long droughts far longer than we are on currently.
And when Arsenal finally lift the Premier League again…
The noise from the Emirates Stadium will shake the football world.
Mark this.
This is the season the joy returns.
This is the season the Gunners smile again.

@komu36 @Cofek_Kenya @KURAroads It is shocking that as the source of most construction materials, Katani has roads in such deplorable state. Residents contribute to fix them, overloaded trucks ruin them with impunity, and the county government charges cess. @ntvkenya @citizentvkenya @countygovmks @KURAroads

[mutunga komu HSC @komu36]

@Cofek_Kenya Katani–Mavoko is a key building materials hub for Nairobi Metro, yet its roads are in ruins. As noted by Business Daily, the area is a shadow of itself. We urge @KURAroads to fix: Katani–Utawala, Kamulu, Airport Rd ,in order of priority #KatanibrokeInfrastructure

BREAKING: Newsom at Davos: "There's no rule of law. It's the rule of Don... I mean, heck, Donald Trump tried to steal the election, the last election. Tried to light democracy on fire, and then pardoned everyone that participated in that."

He just hit the nail in the head here. Trump is a dictator.

After the letter to Norway and Davos speech, it's clearly 25th amendment time.

The Perilous Path of Uganda’s Opposition Election Challengers: 2001-2026 (Don't Try This at Home)
Being an opposition leader and the primary challenger to President Yoweri Museveni, who has held power for 40 years and is set to extend his rule to 45, remains one of the most perilous political roles anywhere.
For two decades, Dr Kizza Besigye (L) faced an unending campaign of suppression during every election cycle:
2001: Following the election, Besigye was forced into temporary exile in South Africa after facing threats of arrest and violence.
2006: Upon returning to run, he was arrested and charged with treason and rape just weeks before the vote. Despite being acquitted, he was arrested over 50 times throughout his career, often during election periods (and has been in jail since November 2024).
2011: Shortly after the polls, during the "Walk to Work" protests, Besigye was brutally assaulted by security forces, partially blinded by pepper spray, and required emergency hospitalisation in Nairobi.
2016: Besigye was placed under immediate house arrest following the vote, while his home was placed under a security blockade. The "siege" of his residence lasted years.
The 2021 and 2026 elections saw the mantle pass to Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine) (R), with the state employing similar, if not intensified, tactics:
2021 Election: After the January 14 vote, the military and police laid siege to Kyagulanyi’s home for 11 days, effectively placing him under house arrest until a court ruling ordered their withdrawal.
January 15, 2026: Following the just-concluded general election, Kyagulanyi was again placed under immediate house arrest, with a heavy military and police presence cordoning off his residence in Magere, Kampala.
January 16, 2026: In a dramatic escalation, security forces reportely broke into his compound. He was seized and taken to an undisclosed location, presumably to prevent him from leading any public rejection of the results.
The events of January 2026 confirm that in Uganda, the transition from candidate to prisoner is a standard feature of the electoral process. It is certainly not a job for the faint of heart, or even one you can casually wish on your enemy.
