Kenyan taxpayers could pay Sh181 billion if the government cancels the 30-year Rironi–Mau Summit highway concession.
The amount is a potential termination liability, not an immediate bill, according to the National Treasury.
Our WanTam Kisumu Women Rep aspirant and Linda Mwananchi ambassador @linda_ogweno was attacked by goons after attending a funeral. But beyond this attack, there is a message in her statement that Kisumu stakeholders must not ignore.
Her call to the people of Kisumu to stand up against goonism and tokenism deserves serious reflection. A generation of young people should not be reduced to political mercenaries, hired to intimidate, attack or silence others because they lack meaningful opportunities to earn a living.
And this raises a difficult question for those celebrating development in Luo Nyanza.
If development is reaching the region as loudly as government surrogates claim, why are so many young people still vulnerable to political exploitation? Where are the sustainable jobs? Where are the opportunities that allow young people to earn with dignity, build businesses and secure their futures without being recruited into violence?
Development must be felt in people’s lives, in household incomes, in employment and in the freedom of young people to participate in politics without fear or coercion.
Kisumu’s stakeholders, leaders, professionals, religious institutions and business community must confront this reality. Our young people deserve better than being weaponised against their own communities.
We condemn the attack on Linda Ogweno and call for a proper investigation!!
Kumbe Kalonzo has been meeting Ruto in Statehouse chini ya maji?? 🤣 Mike Sonko amemwaga mtama... Kalonzo should never be our option , we are going with Sifuna hadi kwa Debe😉 @Maryian96
Edwin Sifuna – Senator, Nairobi: If you look at the list of the proposals of the things that are supposed to be cut, it ‘dog whistle’ to the politicians. Kenyans, are dealing with deceitful people. Young people are saying the time for talk is over.
Bwana, those who are in-broad-based government have realised what Sifuna had realised before they were promised top seats in 2027. Now they can see what Kenyans have been telling them. They are now trying to revive ODM by calling their long-serving SG, Edwin Sifuna.💉💉💉
