EALA MP Winnie Odinga has called for greater respect and accountability in public service, saying the National Treasury is not a political or personal office.
Winnie Odinga to Treasury CS John Mbadi: The National Treasury is not a political office. The National Treasury of the Republic of Kenya is not a personal office. It is not a platform for abuse or to talk to us however you want. Its work is to protect the value of the people’s money.
“Wewe unavaa suti mpya kila siku na wananchi wanalia!” Fearless Winnie Odinga fires at William Ruto’s government over increased fuel prices and Kenya’s rising national debt, which has grown to trillions.
@FGaitho237 You fat pig! You have been fat your whole life, when is the last time you even saw your small penis?! You smell like ass, you sweat like a Gorilla, clean your dirty hairy stinking ass, Go win the Juja seat first and come adress us about Raila Odinga.

NAIROBI: A SEWER OF URBAN DECAY & GOVERNANCE FAILURE.
Nairobi city is the headquarter of The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) which is the leading global authority on the environment. Yet, the city is a stinking mess of sewage and uncollected garbage, It is a dirty, dusty, noisy, unsafe and extremely disorganized unruly city, this is an inhospitable colonial town disguised as a gleaming, modern city.
At independence, Nairobi was, by then, one of the cleanest cities in Africa. The entire system was choreographed: buses arrived on time, garbage was collected at night.
Now, the streets are an unending landfill, with piles of garbage heaped at every corner. Plastic bags, rotting food, discarded clothes, and broken electronics create an eyesore that rivals any post-apocalyptic wasteland. The stench of decay assaults your senses, a nauseating cocktail of human waste and decomposing matter. Street drains, clogged with silt and trash, overflow during the rains, transforming roads into rivers of sludge.
The haphazard construction projects, many of them uncompleted or crumbling. Billboards and graffiti vie for attention on dilapidated walls, their garish colors only highlighting the neglect around them. Sidewalks, where they exist, are riddled with cracks and potholes, making walking a hazardous chore. The ugliest structures corrugated with iron shacks epitomizing the poverty of thought and ambition.
Nairobi's traffic is the epitome of madness. Roads are potholed death traps, with no discernible system to the honking chaos of matatus, boda bodas, and personal vehicles. Public transport vehicles, plastered with offensive graffiti and blaring vulgar music, are symbols of a culture that glorifies rebellion against order. Pedestrians, with nowhere safe to walk, dart through traffic like desperate prey avoiding predators.
Corruption has eaten the city's soul, turning Nairobi into a breeding ground for failure. Public funds meant for infrastructure improvements disappear into the pockets of greedy officials. Every attempt at urban planning is sabotaged by short-term greed and incompetence.
As night falls, Nairobi becomes a hunting ground for criminals. Dark alleys, poorly lit streets, and an overstretched police force ensure that residents live in constant fear. Mugging, carjackings, and petty theft are everyday occurrences. Even during the day, the air of insecurity is palpable, as street gangs and con artists thrive in the chaos.
Parks and public spaces, once Nairobi’s pride, are now overrun by hawkers, idlers, and illegal structures. What little greenery remains is either dying from pollution or littered with trash. Playgrounds for children have been replaced by sprawling slums, their makeshift homes choking the city like a festering wound.
Water shortages are chronic, forcing residents to rely on expensive private vendors who exploit the situation. Burst sewage pipes, often left unrepaired for weeks, spill their contents onto streets and residential areas.
The residents, beaten down by years of neglect, have adopted a survival mentality. Civic pride is nonexistent, as despair has replaced hope. Many have become indifferent, throwing trash on the streets because, "What difference does it make?" Others are too busy trying to eke out a living to care about the state of the city.
Nairobi is not just a failed city—it’s a disgrace, a monumental example of what happens when apathy meets corruption. It stands as a scar on Kenya's conscience, a grim reminder of the price we pay for tolerating mediocrity and failure. The city deserves better, but as it stands, Nairobi is a cautionary tale—a city choking on its own failures, unapologetically abandoned by those who could save it.

@mbanda_dennis Raila Odinga is the man for this moment, standing on the shoulders of giants who came before him, and shaping a time in history of this great continent!
Vaccination of 22Million cows!!!
Well, so this was announced in May this year. Nobody has given us any further explanation and education as to how and why! Remind me again why this a priority when we DON’T even have a proper functional working healthcare system, when CBC is NOT even working, when folks can’t even afford one basic meal aday. Where is the value for our money? Where is the budget allocation for this? Who is doing the civic education and breaking down this information to the people? Why isn’t the ministry of agriculture telling us more?
Wait, who exactly is the minister for Agriculture, is President Ruto the Government spokesman or the Bill Gates 537/= sponsored bloggers?!
I continued with my AUC campaigns in Chad today, where H.E
President Mahamat Idriss Déby extended a warm reception for me.
We discussed issues touching on my African Union Commission (AUC) candidature. I emphasized the need to unite Africa using infrastructure, intra-African trade, and addressing visa policies to ease the movement of people and goods. It will take the goodwill of all of us, leaders and citizens working together to dismantle barriers and foster unity, to amplify our voice as Africa to get to our rightful position on the global stage.
I shared too my vision for the youth, placing them at the centre stage as the driving force behind innovation and change in the continent. I envision vibrant cities buzzing with energy as young entrepreneurs leverage technology and creativity to build dynamic businesses.
President Mahamat expressed his gratitude for my visit and shared his appreciation for my vision, which prioritizes African solutions to the continent’s challenges.
Why don’t we have a CS for interior yet? This is a very sensitive docket. This ministry is the heart of Government and it is what handles the national security. Why are we staying so long without a substantive appointee for the docket?
Wait, why is Mudavadi still the acting interior minister and he is also the CS responsible for Foreign affairs?
Why is the Country operating without an IEBC? this is both a political and a constitutional crisis. There are constituencies and Wards that have gone for months without elected representatives.
Article 89 (2) of the Constitution on Delimitation of electoral units, review should be done periodically in a period not less than 8 years and not more than 12 years. Already we are past the 12 year period, this a mess. If anything any review shall be completed at least twelve months before a general election of members of Parliament.
Why is everyone silent on this issue?
Who is supposed to select the IEBC Commissioners?
What happened to the NADCO report on this issue?
What are the Courts interpretion on this issue?
Is this a legal or a polical problem?
