When you see opulence and extravagant show of wealth amongst the elites in the midst bitting povert and hunger amongst the majority poor then you know shida iko manyata.
When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.
A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”
That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.
I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.
Dennis Itumbi, Head of Presidential Special Projects in Kenya's State House, shared a photo on X claiming to show world leaders at the 2026 G7 Summit. It contains at least four verifiable red flags.
A fact-check🧵
@johnnjenga@WMutunga The sad part is that this has become a very well crafted ethnic narrative being pushed as the guarantee for success of the proponents of ODM (Luo) and UDA marriage. Listen to every shallow-head in the matrix, from the UDA SG to Kaluma and “experts”; same bigotry and BS!
I campaigned and voted for him as my Governor. I bought into both his alluring promises and belligerent polemics on how he will change Nairobi for better. He mesmerised me with his booming voice, youthful energy and sheer audacity to revolutionise Nairobi. His agenda was seductive. I bought into it big time. I, like many voters in Nairobi genuinely but naively thought he will herald a new dawn of bright new day... innovation and change were the buzz words. I refused to interrogate his agenda or lift the veil behind the man. I saw his short resume as strength. I even celebrated question marks about his academic background and dismissed it as attempts by the political elites to pull down to the gutters a young and visionary leader. 4 years later, Nairobi under his calamitous tenure is a shithole, the comfortable miasma for rats and rodents of similar genre. Yesterday and without having the common decency to inform the voters of Nairobi, my Governor, timorous and trembling surrendered his mandate to the National Government on a silver platter. I did not see a gun on his head. I saw a happy smiling governor, flashing his signature dimples. He left me bitter, betrayed and stranded. He showed me the middle finger! As his loyal voter, I feel cheap and without a voice in the transaction. I was used and dumped like trash. Why do elected leaders like my Governor treat us as trash once they assume office and start wallowing in the luxury of power and the attendant filthy wealth that easily comes with public office? What remedy do the voters have when their Governor without consultation and consent tranfers his executive powers to a stranger in the name of National Government? How can executive abdication and change of power be a secret elopement between State House and City Hall? And when will STUPID voters like me know a snake oil salesman from a distance and refuse to upgrade him to something he can never be? For all our chaos and problems, the stupid charlatans we elect to offices in Kenya, the buck stops with a STUPID voter like me. I'm ashamed of SOME of the choices I habitually make when I vote on polling day!
@KBCChannel1 Are you sure you’d provide evidence of this assertion if asked to do the same?
Are you sure that the Hansard record would vindicate your claim of 5b as at the date of today’s sittings?
Simply, is this a true account of the proceedings?
@Senate_KE
Kikuyu Nation is the only tribe in Kenya that its leaders abuse each other everyday … You will never hear a Kalenjin using derogatory words or sexual innuendo against its leaders, their wives or mothers! A Kalenjin properly circumcised will never abuse a mother & especially an elderly one.
And Kikuyus leaders pull each other down for the most primitive calling: politics! And for handouts!
Who are these powerful individuals plotting to sell ODM party?
Tonight, Siaya Governor James Orengo exposes their identities and presents evidence behind the claims.

There are two agendas being pushed at the same time and what amazes me is how most people don’t see it.
The first agenda: the viral videos and photos mocking Raila Odinga Jnr.
At face value, it looks like people being insensitive or childish online. But if you look closer, it’s a calculated psychological operation meant to prepare you, to soften your resistance, for the Computer Misuse and Cybercrime (Amendment) Bill, 2024.
They want you to be outraged enough to say, “Take those videos down!”
They want you to willingly call for censorship, to beg for regulation, to cry for control. That is how manufactured consent works.
They make you feel like you’re making a moral choice, when in reality, you’re giving them permission to police your speech, your thoughts, your digital space.
It is shameful to mock anyone with a disability. Society has always known that.
Long before government bills and online outrage, that punishment existed naturally and socially.
Nature has its own way of punishing cruelty — often by giving the cruel something equally heavy to carry.
And socially, such mockery has always been taboo. But now, in the age of moral decay and shallow trends, you’ve baptized mockery as “dark humor.”
There was a time when even our art corrected us:
“Ukiona mtu ni kilema, baba,
Ukiona mtu ni kilema, mama,
Wacha kucheka, kesho ni kwako,
Wacha kucheka, utazaa kilema.”
That song was not just a melody. It was a mirror of conscience.
Now, that conscience is being manipulated — your compassion being used as a tool of control.
The goal is to amplify outrage so that there’s no resistance when new laws, quietly designed to silence dissent, are passed.
You’ll think you’re defending decency, but you’ll be defending tyranny in disguise.
The second agenda: Governor Mutahi Kahiga’s remarks.
Here again, you all know what’s going on, but many will still pretend not to.
His utterance was despicable, yes, but the intent behind the timing and amplification is even worse.
Ask yourself: Who benefits most from this kind of ethnic provocation?
If you pay attention, you’ll see a familiar pattern. A rift is being engineered, deliberately, to prevent two major communities from ever sitting at the same table.
The irony is that many in the political class from both sides have intermarried, dine together, and laugh at your outrage.
The architects of division know that if Kenyans unite on class and conscience, if you ever decide to speak with one voice, their empires crumble overnight.
So they light a fire between tribes, feed you anger, and then hide behind the smoke while signing new laws and sealing new deals.
You’ll spend weeks debating the words of one misguided messenger, while the real enemies of progress keep cashing in on your distractions.
This isn’t new anything new. It’s Divide and Rule 101.
You think you’re reacting to events, but they’re designing your reactions.
You think you’re watching coincidences, but you’re witnessing choreography.
As for me, I see it clearly. Langu huwa jicho ila nawaona kabisa.
And until you start listening, really listening, Kenyan politics will keep repeating the same script, just with different actors.
The system survives not because it’s powerful, but because the people are divided and distracted. Wake up before the smoke becomes your reality.
My father passed away a few years ago and what Steve Harvey says here is SO TRUE
“When a man's father dies, he realizes that the one man who truly wanted him to be better than him is gone … When my daddy died, I didn't have nobody to say they was proud of me.”

Saddam Hussein had only been President for 5 days.
Then he summoned Iraq’s top officials to a hall in Baghdad.
By the end of that meeting, dozens would be dead and Saddam's grip on power would be absolute.
Here’s how he pulled off one of history’s most terrifying purges: 🧵👇

2. Beet juice.
It´s rich in nitrates that convert to nitric oxide - nature´s most powerful blood vessel relaxer.
One glass drops blood pressure by 10 points within hours.
Have it roasted, juiced or in smoothies and salads.
#Kenya: We are deeply troubled by the killings yesterday of at least 10 people in protests amid looting and destruction of property.
@volker_turk urges prompt, thorough, independent & transparent investigations. Those responsible must be held to account.
