How is it so difficult for united opposition to arrange themselves behind the curtains and later front a strong and organised team rather that every candidate chest thumping then later regretting for not forming formidable team early enough @citizentvkenya@skmusyoka@SamGituku
@SamGituku ask @skmusyoka if he can take up CS foreign affairs docket if offered to right the wrongs he has observed overtime from kk administration as he as alluded to have observed. His legacy is that sector is unmatched and picking his mind is a milestone @citizentvkenya
Here's a Mashujaa Day message for WRA:
As we celebrate Mashujaa Day, we honor the heroes who fought for our nation and those who continue to champion the protection of our water resources. Together, we can ensure a sustainable future for all. Happy Mashujaa Day.
During today’s Mashujaa Day 2024 celebrations, a notable highlight will be the presence of the Guard of Honor (GoH) commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Faith Mwagandi, marking a historic moment as she becomes the first female senior officer to lead a GoH at a national event.
The best way to show love is by giving your time. Time is priceless and something you can never buy back. That’s why spending time with your parents, children, spouse, friends, or anyone you care about is so important.
To our Gen Z and all Kenyans, especially those participating in recent demonstrations, I appeal to your sense of responsibility and foresight.
I know the most unpopular persons in the light of recent events are those that try to appeal for voice of reason. But nevertheless I must put my message across.
Today, those engaging in destruction under the guise of freedom of picketing might find momentary exhilaration in the cheers of selfish individuals seeking temporary political gain. However, such actions can quickly spiral into a state of lawlessness, leaving us all to ponder how we allowed ourselves to descend into chaos. True wisdom lies in recognizing that smart individuals do not invite anarchy upon themselves; instead, they combat it with all their might to maintain order.
A flawed government is undeniably preferable to the absence of any governance at all. Anarchy represents a complete breakdown of law and order. President Ruto and our national security personnel are showing immense restraint in these trying times. Tragically, we’ve already lost some of our youth, and in such tumultuous scenarios, further loss of life and property becomes almost inevitable due to the ill intentions of a few.
History teaches us that youth-led demonstrations often spiral into uncontrollable chaos, especially when fueled by political figures with selfish agendas. In Kenya, we are fortunate to have a democratically elected government. Disrupting this system through violence and anarchy is both reckless and dangerous.
Continuing on a path of lawlessness will not only harm our nation but also cripple our economy, leading to massive unemployment and widespread suffering. We must understand that while grievances over the finance bill are valid, they pale in comparison to the devastation national anarchy could bring. Unchecked protests can lead to a future where everyone suffers, overshadowing the initial cause of unrest with unprecedented chaos.
Let us choose to address our issues through dialogue and peaceful means, ensuring the stability and prosperity of our beloved nation for generations to come.
Fellow Kenyans, particularly the youth of Generation Z, I want to share my professional journey and the insights I’ve gained. Before venturing into politics, I served as a pilot and Director of Flight Operations for a multinational corporation engaged in humanitarian relief Operations . My career included significant collaborations with global entities such as the World Food Program, United Nations Humanitarian Air Services ( UNHAS), UNHCR, the International Committee of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, the European Union, and various other international organizations. For a decade, I was deeply involved in relief operations across war-torn regions like South Sudan, Darfur, Chad, the Central African Republic, Congo, Liberia, Afghanistan, and Somalia.
During this period, I witnessed firsthand the severe hardships endured by people in these conflict zones. From 2002 onwards, especially during Operation Lifeline Sudan (OLS), we saw unimaginable suffering. This experience has profoundly shaped my perspective.
Currently, I am deeply concerned about the ongoing unrest in our country. Some leaders are encouraging our youth to engage in demonstrations, even suggesting the occupation of state institutions. Such actions have led to widespread looting and destruction of public property. If we allow this situation to spiral out of control, it could lead to irreversible damage and plunge our nation into chaos, similar to what I observed in many war-torn countries.
In these nations, the descent into anarchy often began with youth-led demonstrations that escalated uncontrollably, sometimes with political figures fueling the unrest for their own gain. In Kenya, we are fortunate to have a democratically elected government. Attempting to disrupt this system through violence and anarchy is not only reckless but also dangerous.
I urge our youth to exercise restraint. The freedom to protest and express dissent is a crucial part of our democracy, but it must be done responsibly. The recent protests have already achieved a significant milestone by prompting the government to reconsider its stance on the finance bill. Continuing down a path of lawlessness will only harm our nation and its economy, potentially leading to massive unemployment and the exodus of multinational corporations.
We must understand that the grievances over the finance bill are minor compared to the potential devastation of national anarchy. Reflect on the broader consequences of your actions. Unchecked protests could lead to a future where everyone suffers, and the initial cause of the unrest is overshadowed by the resultant chaos.
I appeal to you to read and respect the freedoms guaranteed by our constitution. Exercise these rights without infringing on others’ rights, including the rights of businesses. Restraint and reason must guide our actions. While it may be unpopular to advocate for moderation, it is essential for the stability and future of our country.
Thank you for considering this perspective.
The Finance Bill has left Parliament and is on the President's desk. H.E @WILLIAMSRUTO SHOULD NOT ASSENT to the bill. He must send it back to Parliament. He must reduce the wasteful expenditure and cut government expenditure. He must also forgo the punitive taxes that define the bill. Lastly, the President must listen to the national consensus that the Finance Bill is oppressive and cruel to all Kenyans. President Ruto, please give concession. It will not show weakness. It will show leadership. Listening to the will of the people is true leadership
Today, as a student of history, I keenly followed the powerful moment when President William Ruto was warmly welcomed by Bernice King, the daughter of Martin Luther King Jr., at the historic Martin Luther King Center in Atlanta. President Ruto laid a wreath at the center to honor the legacy of one of the most iconic civil rights activists who devoted his life to the pursuit of a just and equitable society.
The King Center and Mausoleum, established by Coretta Scott King, the wife of Martin Luther King Jr., was created to reflect years of dedication to community, cultural, and socio-economic progress, rooted in the philosophy of non-violent social change developed by her husband.
As we reflect on the 60 years of U.S-Kenya diplomatic and people ties, we must look back and recognize the pivotal role played by civil rights activists like King in advocating for the independence of Kenya and the African continent. Also the efforts towards empowering the African people to enable them navigate the challenges of the time, and chat a path to freedom and prosperity. We also remember King for championing the equal rights of all individuals irrespective of their race, underscoring the belief that all human beings are equal, and thay they are endowed by God the creator, with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
This commemoration serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring impact of his advocacy and the ongoing pursuit of equality for all.
It is my hope that President Ruto’s visit to the Martin Luther King Center will provide him an opportunity to reflect on what it means to fight for the oppressed, and always stand for the fundamental principles that King believed in and paid the ultimate price for.
