Charlie, the doors also open forwards, not backwards like our Toyota. Life happens at the back, it’s not a driver’s car. It is not for ducking boda bodas in the traffic. It belongs in an environment with valets and liveried servants. I, for one, appreciate the former Speaker’s vision and audacity. She is a woman with testicles, if you will excuse the paradox.
If Museveni did not circumcised her expansive ambitions in time, this is the kind of bruiser who could have knocked out the more vacant-eyed reaches of his dynasty. Maybe even have a stab at the big stool.
But she ate with her mouth open.
Gen @mkainerugaba publicly endorsed Oboth Oboth for Speakership and the race appeared to politically settle almost immediately.
Last week, he returned and publicly endorsed @Thomas_Tayebwa for Deputy Speakership. Different result.
Over 16 MPs have since expressed interest in the same Deputy Speakership position.
Does this suggest some MPs are unconvinced by Tayebwa, uncomfortable with continuity from the previous Parliament leadership, or simply believe the position is still politically open despite the endorsement?
Kenyans, we are being conned. Today, I exposed the shocking cost of Talanta Stadium.
Now here’s the most unbelievable part:
A 60,000-seat stadium in Kenya is set to cost MORE than Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium. ie 97.5 billion ksh
Read that again slowly.
To put that into perspective:
🇬🇧 Emirates Stadium (England)
60,704 seats — Ksh 68B
🇨🇮 Stade Alassane Ouattara (Ivory Coast)
60,000 seats — Ksh 33.1B
🇪🇸 Estadio La Cartuja (Spain)
70,000 seats — Ksh 23.5B
🇲🇦 Hassan II Stadium (Morocco)
115,000 seats — Ksh 64.5B
🇲🇦 Ibn Battouta Stadium (Morocco)
60,000 seats — Ksh 13.9B
🇨🇩 Stade des Martyrs (DRC)
80,000 seats — Ksh 5.9B
So why is Kenya paying almost 100 BILLION for a stadium smaller than some of these?
For the price of ONE Talanta Stadium, other countries are building 2 or even 3 world-class stadiums.
And we are expected to clap instead of asking questions.
This country is being looted in broad daylight. It might look good, beautiful, but we also need to point out the robbery and stop the robbers.
This should be investigated. What were foreign soldiers doing prospecting in Kenya? What were they looking for? Oil? And why didn’t they inform the owners of that land, the Turkana who are rather warlike? And was UPDF fully briefed about the people they will coming up against? Did they fully understand the risks of that hostile land? Did they get full resources and info to prepare for that funny mission?
Let those who deployed those young people pay compensation, we had nothing to do with it and we didn’t know about these shenanigans!
BREAKING: Uganda is demanding $4.3 million (557 million ksh ) from Kenya over the killing of UPDF soldiers in Turkana in March 2022 by Turkana warriors.
I am informed that Kenyan officials reportedly travelled to Kampala and met Uganda’s First Deputy Prime Minister over the matter. Kenya is said to have offered only $77,000 in compensation, an offer Uganda has reportedly rejected.
But isn’t this whole story extremely strange?
We are told these UPDF soldiers were allegedly involved in geological exploration activities inside Turkana. How? Under what agreement? And why were Kenyans never properly informed?
Back in 2022, the public was only told that 2 UPDF soldiers and 3 geologists had been killed. Now I am told the number being discussed is actually over 100.
This story has also been captured on Eye Radio Uganda
This opens very serious questions:
How many UPDF soldiers are operating inside Kenya?
Where exactly are they stationed?
And why is the public only hearing the full scale of this years later?
Anyway, it is now slowly coming out. And we shall reveal more. Follow me - sholla ard
If GoK is happy about their new, rather cheap, State House roof, then why are they hiding it? "Turudishiwe pesa zetu!" BTW we haven't started discussing the floor tiles!
@mkainerugaba@africaupdates Wrong. Every human being is entitled to legal representation and counsel, even in a guerrilla army dictatorship. And they are not corrupt until pronounced so by a competent tribunal, not by a biased general.
