@Aaroncheruiyot Serious Presidents are preoccupied with finding solutions to problems facing their people, then we have Ruto perambulating across villages bribing voters and spreading tribalism. Aki ya nani…!
1. Sifuna has never been arrested for corruption.
2. Sifuna has never been summoned.
3. Sifuna has never been sacked for corruption.
4. Sifuna has never shot anyone.
5. Sifuna has never demanded a bribe.
6. Sifuna has never grabbed land.
7. Sifuna has never embezzled funds.
8. Sifuna has never been charged with a crime.
9. Sifuna has never abused his office.
10. Sifuna has never been involved in any scandal.
Ruto lost any real chance at a second term the day he broke with the GEMA community and pushed them out of his government. There is no practical way he can win the presidency now. You cannot beat the GEMA numbers, their careful planning, their ability to turn out voters, their money both old and new, their political and government networks, their campaign machinery, and the systems they have built over seventy years. It is simply not possible. Do not let anyone fool you. Ruto used those same systems to win in 2013, 2017 and 2022. When he went against them in 2002, 2007 and the 2010 referendum he lost badly. These are clear facts and Ruto knows them well.
Some people will say Moi won without GEMA in 1992 and 1997. That is partly true. But Moi only got around 30 percent of the vote in both elections because the old constitution allowed a candidate to win with less than half the votes. The same GEMA political system closed that opening in the 2010 constitution by requiring 50 percent plus one. If that rule had been in place in 1992, Kenneth Matiba would have beaten Moi in a second round by a wide margin.
In plain terms, if you want to win the presidency without GEMA votes you must take 70 percent of every other community’s votes. That is almost impossible for Ruto and he knows it. That is why he keeps moving from the coast to the Luhya, the Luo, the Kamba and now the Kisii. These are not the moves of a confident man. He understands the problem and he knows what is holding him. It is the numbers.
Kasongo had almost started insulting Dr. Fred Matiang'i in Gusiiland, and he suddenly remembered that he had been warned by his butt suckers that it's SUICIDAL to do so.
It has forced him to become a stammerer for a whole minute!
The agent of insults would have left Kisii without one shoe, like it happened to him in South Mugirango in 2007 when he tried to insult Simeon Nyachae!
Why Musalia hates Sifuna?
The other day Senator Boni Khalwale asked why Mudavadi stays quiet after his ally Agoi was kicked out of Kengen and replaced by a Nandi. It seems Khalwale does not know Mudavadi well.
Mudavadi missed the funerals of Masinde Muliro, Kijana Wamalwa, Shikuku, Jirongo, and Burudi Nabwera. He also skips the funerals of other Luhyas who are not in his political camp. When his personal assistant Kibisu Kabetesi was fired and replaced by a Nandi, Mudavadi said nothing. Just like with Agoi.
This is how he works. When the fight to repeal section 2A and bring multiparty democracy was at its peak, he stuck with Moi and opposed it. As Moi’s finance minister, the national budget was read in Parliament amid total chaos, with punches flying everywhere.
In 2002, while most of the country rejected Moi, Mudavadi followed Moi’s project and supported Uhuru. He had only been Deputy President for three months.
So when people ask why Luhyas do not vote for him, it is not because of blindness or comedy. Voters are not sheep. They do not just wake up and vote for an empty suit. In Luhyaland it is almost impossible to find anything or anyone whose success can be credited to Musalia Mudavadi.
Right now thousands of Kenyans are stuck and dying in the Middle East, Russia, and Ukraine. Yet Mudavadi, as Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs, is busy moving around Luhyaland with Adagala and Farouk Kibet, attacking his own people on behalf of the Nandis.
There is a joke that 2,500 scholarships to Australia passed through the Foreign Affairs desk. All of them went to or were sold to Kales. Not a single Luhya got one.
When Wetang’ula takes his people to get TSC letters, at least they go to his Bukusu community. What happens to Mudavadi’s letters? Maybe he gives them to Sudi and Farouk. Human resources does not want any Luhya to benefit except his own stomach.
I challenge anyone to list even one thing Musalia Mudavadi has done for Western Kenya in the past 35 years he has been in government. Not even a cattle dip.
Nakuru Senator Tabitha Karanja Keroche has been removed as Senate Deputy Majority Leader. Nominated Senator Veronica Maina has been chosen to replace her. The change takes effect immediately.
Senate Speaker Amason Kingi announced the decision on Wednesday after the Senate Majority Party voted to remove Keroche.
Kingi told the House that he received a letter dated November 3 from Senate Majority Whip David Wakoli. The letter informed him of the leadership change. It included minutes from the party meeting held on Tuesday, November 3, plus a signed list of senators who supported the decision.
The removal followed Standing Order 22(5). This rule allows the Majority Party to remove an elected office holder if a majority of its senators vote for it.
Kingi confirmed that he checked the documents and said Veronica Maina is now the Deputy Senate Majority Leader with immediate effect.
This move comes weeks after Keroche publicly said she is leaving the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA). She announced that she wants to join former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP).
On October 9, while speaking to supporters, the Nakuru Senator said she had listened to people’s concerns about the government’s performance and would now pursue her political plans under the DCP.
Many Kenyans still ask why Ruto chose Rigathi Gachagua as his running mate in 2022. Ruto was facing a tough election. The sitting president was backing Raila Odinga, a former prime minister with a strong political base and the support of state machinery. Ruto was a first-time presidential candidate who needed to win.
Yet he chose Gachagua, then a first-term MP, over Kithure Kindiki, a professor, senator, experienced politician, and Ruto’s lawyer during the ICC case. Kindiki had a long history with Ruto and an impressive record. So why Gachagua?
The answer is simple: numbers.
Gachagua had something Ruto needed most, mobilisation power. He could bring people out in large numbers, especially in the Mt Kenya region. When Gachagua organised a rally in Nyeri County, thousands of women turned up dressed in yellow. That display showed Ruto a level of grassroots organisation he had not seen from other leaders around him.
Ruto was not only choosing a deputy; he was choosing a political machine. Gachagua could deliver crowds, energy, and votes. In the end, Ruto won the election, suggesting that his calculation worked.
That is where Gachagua’s strength lies: in numbers. Not speeches, not academic credentials, and not long political experience, numbers.
Looking ahead to 2027, Gachagua may be even more dangerous as a mobiliser. He now leads the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), is out of office, and has more time to organise supporters and build political networks. His party is already seen as a major new force ahead of the 2027 election.
So, if you ever wonder about Gachagua’s political value, remember one thing: his power is in the numbers. Nothing but numbers.
How much does milk cost where you are?
When Kasongo came in, it was 35. Now it is 90 bob. The guy with his populism ideologies has completely ruined the country. He must go next year.
Transparency, Accoubtability, sustainable development. The #LindaMwananchiMovement promise is to make all project contracts available to the public in conformity with these three Constitutional Values. We all know why the Ruto regime hides these agreements. From Bomas to Talanta to Rironi highway to Lamu refinery, we are being robbed blind.

@iMiaSanMia Thank you for bringing this into attention. The govt has not paid the national team players, nurses are on strike, lecturers are on strike and inflation is very high. Boycott that match
Human rights activists and citizens in Kenya have launched a campaign, urging FC Bayern and Ajax to boycott the scheduled friendly between the two teams in Nairobi on January 5th. Critics argue that public funds and millions are being misallocated toward an expensive international exhibition match amid domestic economic pressures, the rising cost of living, healthcare challenges and human rights issues. They also claim that this match serves as a political leverage and campaign tool ahead of upcoming elections amid ongoing public discontent over governance, taxation, and human rights in the country 🇰🇪

@kipmurkomen@FCBayernEN@AFCAjax Mobutu also brought Muhammad Ali to Kinshasa. Same playbook, just a much cheaper, lazier copy. Keep the expensive circus, it will only last 1 day.
