Moi tried to buy Kikuyu votes in the 1990s with "Central Kenya Development Group" of SK Macharia (of @citizentvkenya) as chairman and spent billions in vain. Ol Kalou told President Ruto not to follow the Moi manual. In Mt Kenya it's the people that show where their leaders must take them. Those light featherweight politicians from Kiambu telling President Ruto that Kikuyus will vote for him in 2027 are rent seekers wanting to feed on his fodder ala SK Macharia of the 90s.
Congratulations, Sammy Kamau Ngotho and the DCP on this resounding victory in the Ol Kalou by-election.
Kenyans have witnessed the sheer siege on Ol Kalou, indeed, on the whole of Nyandarua County, by the National Police Service. Masked men were unleashed to instil fear on wananchi: young and old, men, women, and youth alike.
Bribery was deployed without shame, and on such a large scale that it can only be described as disgusting.
Intimidation became policy by the current regime, in their painful attempt to deter the will of the people.
Yet Ol Kalou stood firm. And their message to the people of Kenya is this: stand firm and resolute in the coming months.
This is not just a parliamentary seat won.
This is a message sent to Mr. Ruto, to his regime, to Kenya, and indeed to the world: WANTAM.
You cannot police away the will of a people.
You cannot bribe away their conscience.
You cannot mask your way into their hearts.
Ol Kalou has shown Kenya what is coming in 2027.
A disabled man was mishandled by police officers in Nakuru.
They threw away his crutches forced him
To stand up without them and thrown into police vehicle.
What kind of conduct is this from the police?
This is utterly shameful."

National Oil, which is a government-owned state corporation, has ignored the government directive to reduce fuel prices.
CONFIRM if your local Petrol Station has adjusted fuel prices to below Ksh 200 per litre.
