Imagine being such a megalomaniac that in the mausoleum surrounded by photographs of only family members, you make sure your own picture, THE ONLY OUTSIDER, is plastered on the wall.
To him that wall is nothing more than a billboard to plaster his image and milk Baba’s political legacy even in his death for his own re-election until the day he no longer needs the family. DISGUSTING Human Being !
Baba, forever in our hearts.
Hours before this report on voter smuggling was aired, senior government officials, led by Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen and MP Robert Pukose, crossed into Uganda in the same area where allegations had emerged of Kenyans being issued national IDs and voters being registered.

We hired a new VP named Michael Lee.
Unfortunately we already have a Michael Lee.
He works in the warehouse.
He's been here 11 years.
New VP gets:
[email protected]
He immediately messages IT.
“Can you move the other Michael to michael.lee2 and give me michael.lee?”
No.
He asks HR.
HR asks me if we can “prioritize seniority.”
I explain that the warehouse Michael has eleven years of email history tied to that address and changing it because someone with a nicer title arrived would be insane.
VP reluctantly keeps the 2.
Warehouse Michael finds out.
Changes his Teams display name to:
Michael Lee (Original)
By Friday the VP is being referred to as Sequel Mike.
He has asked IT to intervene.
Unfortunately nickname management is outside our support scope.
I accidentally rebooted the network switch for the entire third floor.
Internet disappeared.
Phones dropped.
About 70 employees immediately stood up from their desks like prairie dogs.
I had two choices:
Admit I clicked the wrong switch.
Become proactive.
I sent this message:
“Unannounced infrastructure resilience exercise currently in progress. Please continue normal operations.”
Then I waited five minutes and turned everything back on.
Service restored.
No data loss.
Nobody died.
The CTO replied:
“Love that we’re testing this stuff proactively.”
So I wrote a post-exercise report.
Objective: Validate employee response to unexpected connectivity loss.
Result: Successful.
Finding: Employees become extremely loud after approximately 12 seconds without internet.
Recommendation: Continue resilience testing quarterly.
My mistake now has a budget.

With the Adani details having been made public, one would think "smart Kenyans" would take the time to compare them with alternative expansion plans to see what a raw deal it was. Adani wanted a 30 year lease, an 18% guaranteed annual return, tax waivers, and a permanent 18% equity stake in JKIA’s aeronautical revenue even after the lease ended. The concern was not whether JKIA needed upgrading, but how much public revenue was being surrendered. The issue was excessive concession terms, guaranteed returns, tax breaks, and perpetual ownership. Kenyans were rejecting a predatory deal. They were not "politicising" progress, but rather protecting national assets.
Nothing is sacred in President Ruto's efforts to steal everything in Kenya. Not Nairobi Hospital for the elite and not Muthaiga Golf Club land either. Even the super rich are experiencing Ruto's thieving wrath.
The plot thickens as Vodacom had already paid for 15%. This is what happens when unscrupulous politicians think they can circumvent the Kenyan Constitution 2010.
