On behalf of the people and government of the Republic of Kenya, I wish to add my voice to those condemning the recent attempted assassination of former U.S. President Donald J. Trump. I extend my deepest sympathies to President Trump, his family, and the families of the victims of this shocking, heinous act.
In these troubling times, I take this opportunity to recommit to the democratic ideals we share with the people of the United States of America. Wishing @realDonaldTrump a speedy and full recovery.
Good morning, Dr. @EAukot. Last time I checked, you were accusing President William Ruto that he didn't support the 2010 constitution, and therefore, he can't protect it. Here is a quick one: you were among the architects of the 2010 Constitution. Why have you been championing for Punguza Mzigo, which simply means we do away with some positions, including scrapping the Senate? Reducing the number of parliamentary constituencies to at least 200. Reducing the number of counties to about 10 and requiring each county to elect not more than fifty representatives, so that we can have about three hundred MCAS across the country, which I actually support 100%, but my question is, as you were supporting the Constitution 2010, did you envision a situation where it'll put you in trouble due to its overrepresentation? Do you agree that President William Ruto was right at some point? Do you agree with this article https://t.co/ni6QA8yX7m?
In 2022, conman @RailaOdinga vowed that he would march to @StateHouseKenya and remove @WilliamsRuto from power because Ruto had stolen his victory.
In 2023, conman @RailaOdinga asked his supporters to demonstrate throughout the country because he didn’t recognize Ruto as a legitimate president. Hundreds were murdered by Ruto’s goons.
In 2024, when the revolutionary patriots, GenZs and Millennials are on the streets protesting against Ruto and demanding that he vacates office, conman @RailaOdinga has now joined Ruto after being paid by Ruto and is trying to sell fear to the protesters.
Raila is a quintessential coward and conman.
Reject conman @RailaOdinga and his treacherous stories. #RutoMustGo
Mnapewa space sana hadi mnadhani you are the ONLY ONES who live in Kenya?You selectively read the CoK,the part that favours you & deliberately ignore one that fits your 'nemesis' & expect to be taken seriously?KEEP YOUR CARD TILL 2027.Hii ya katikati ni drama festival.
Raila Odinga has totally refused to be a pawn in Uhuru's game of trying to destabilise the country! There are many reasons why you don't like Raila, but one thing that should make you like him is refusing to be part of the coup plotters. Thank you, Baba, for choosing patriotism.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - RESIGNATION OF PRESIDENT RUTO

Dated at Nairobi, this July 12, 2024.

If we are going to place crosses for victims of police brutality, can we also have crosses for those killed by Uhuru and Kibaki?
I think that it’s unfair to Ruto who has been in power for just one and half years while Uhuru arrested me a record 39 times and killed so many here.
Try to remember even GPO Oulu and Oscar Kingara for a start.
River Yala victims of Uhuru should have a monument. We shouldn’t engage in selective fight for justice.
Mr. President today I won't be attending your X-Space. Today I won't be listening to MORE of your WORDS! You have SAID ENOUGH! I will only believe you when I see your ACTIONS. That is all I am waiting for - ACTION! #EngageThePresident
Come let’s watch the World Cup finals together at Uhuru Park as we close the Nairobi Festival. Amazing fireworks show after plus Nganya awards, Christmas tree and support to 40 children homes for the festive season.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi will go down as one of most accomplished legislators in American history—breaking barriers, opening doors for others, and working every day to serve the American people. I couldn’t be more grateful for her friendship and leadership.
