There is a troubling new brand of politics taking root in the Mountain. Intimidation, threats and fear.

Last night, I had to help evacuate TWENTY UDA mobilizers from Rurii, Ol Kalou. They were so shaken that their only request was to spend the night at a police station, believing it was the only place they would be safe.

I have since arranged and paid for hotel accommodation for them, where they remain as they await calm.

This is not who we are.

No Kenyan should live in fear because of their political beliefs. Democracy thrives on persuasion, not intimidation, on ideas, not threats.

I urge the Police Service to move swiftly against those instigating violence, issuing threats, or terrorizing fellow citizens.

The law must protect every Kenyan equally.

Elections should never turn neighbours into enemies. We can compete fiercely at the ballot, shake hands afterwards, and continue building our communities together.

Hii siasa ya vitisho na kuuza uoga tuachane nayo.

We beat Jofri in other by-elections we embraced those who lost, why should anyone be chased because they disagreed and lost on the ballot?

Apana.

OLKALOU Has DECIDED.

The next MP is Muchina Samuel Nyagah.

Catching up with Josiah Muriguh Hsc earlier.

Eyes on the VOTE.

They started by saying, UDA is not a factor.

Now they are saying why is UDA campaigning with all it has

Heeeeee....

Justice Lady Karanja, Justice Francis Tuiyott and Weldon Korir have delivered a fantastic judgment on the Ruaraka land fraud that led to the loss of a staggering Kshs 1.5 billion of taxpayer's money. @OleItumbi will love this judgment. I will be suprised if the Hon. Attorney in the next seven days does not file for civil recovery of the money and @ODPP_KE doesn't file criminal prosecution. I can't see how someone can run for an elective office after reading this judgment..

Olkalou engagements. Exchange of ideas and mapping solutions.

Enjoying the conversations and moments.

Made many new friends.

Thank you, Olkalou, for opening your homes, your hearts and sharing your stories.

Together, we are writing a chapter built on service, dignity and love.

Some people who should know better have abandoned facts and embraced fake news. Instead of informing Kenyans, they are deliberately misleading them.

Take the claims about the NTSA fines payment. The viral narrative was that the money was paid to someone called Cherono. That is simply not true.

The receipt clearly shows that the biller was NTSA FINES. The payment was made through a KCB Bank Agent.

As with any bank transaction, the receipt displays the name of the agent who processed the payment. In this case, that agent was Catherine Jerono Tomno.

She did not receive the money. She only facilitated the transaction on behalf of KCB.

To make the false story believable, those spreading it shared only part of the receipt and left out the section that clearly identifies the biller as NTSA FINES.

I have attached the complete receipt, which speaks for itself.

Before believing or sharing sensational claims, take a moment to check the facts. A full receipt tells the truth. A cropped one can be used to tell almost any story.

The mornings in Olkalou can sometimes be freezing. Mirangine, welcomed us with songs, laughter and conversations that warmed us up at 6am.

We helped them complete a community project they were fundraising for, we registered many to SHA and together agreed that the best suited person to vote as MP is Samuel Muchina Nyaga.

Such a good way to start the day.

My friend, @skmusyoka, I agree with you, today you really worked hard.

In fact, you worked so hard that you literally sprinted to your car, leaving your women supporters to find their own way.

So now, Mr. Presidential Candidate, sir, take a well earned break. Relax, unwind, and enjoy the ambience and massage at the GRAND MELIA Arusha.

After all, as the hotel's slogan says: "A Life Well Lived." In the utmost luxury, dinner at the rooftop is a good choice.

You've earned it, SKM. After all that hard work.

The STANDARD, sorry gMoi manual Tweet handle, is running the country's BIGGEST FACTORY of FAKE NEWS.

At its heart is a NEWSROOM fueled by SPIN, stripped of SOUL, and dressed in the HIGH HEELS of SENSATIONALISM.

Meanwhile, ongoing, STADIUMS, new HIGHWAYS, Affordable HOUSING, Mama Mboga MARKETS, higher COFFEE prices, broader SHA coverage, cheaper FERTILIZER, digital ROYALTY payments, lower INTEREST rates, NYOTA, Kazi Majuu, and the BOLDEST TEA and Sugar REFORMS.

On one thing, I agree with STANDARD that the RESULTS in President @WilliamsRuto's Plan are too SERIOUS for their TABLOID version of JOURNALISM.

The Ol Kalou Boda Boda chairmen invited me for a meeting and gave me very specific instructions, "Come with only a notebook and a pen."

They reminded me that this was their meeting and that I was their guest and so all the cost was theirs.

Their mission was simple, they wanted me to be their friend and to have their numbers on my phone.

But as I quickly learned, friendship in the boda boda community comes with assignments and responsibilities. They gave me a number of easy tasks and assured me that if I delivered on what they had requested, they would vote for Samuel Nyaga Muchina.

They also offered to host me for a village dinner in every ward. This was a touching gesture, they declined my offer to facilitate the evening meals.

We resolved many things, on others I called my friends Kimani Ichung'wah, Engineer Mwaura, Agm Gakuru Muchiri, PS Ephantus Kimotho Kimani - PS, PS Alex Kamau Wachira 'Wa-Total', Reuben Maiyo and many others.

We had a candid, engaging, and productive conversation. By the end of the meeting, I received one of the greatest honours I could imagine from the boda community, an honorary helmet and reflector, officially welcoming me into the Ol Kalou boda boda family.

For now, sina mengi ya kusema.

Jofri emergency fundraiser two days ago.

Reason: Olkalou.

Their own internal poll show a sharp rise of UDA candidate, Muchina.

The 4th President has a candidate in the race and therefore can not finance that other party.

Other decisions in the meeting..

1. Enhanced Intentional inflammatory remarks, the idea being to attract summons or arrest, with a view of attracting sympathy.

2. Mobilization for June 25th Demos countrywide and enhanced in Olkalou.

3. Jofri, to ignore 45 days leave and land in Olkalou on 5th July, 2026, to save the campaign.

4. 150m raised for Olkalou campaigns.

G 7.

President @WilliamsRuto

[-Dennis Itumbi, CBS @OleItumbi]

The Fourth President is firmly in control. He has practically rearranged the entire game board.

Sifuna is OUT OF the ticket.

The ticket is now Kalonzo and Ruaraka Land Thief.

Sifuna, will be offered Foreign Affairs. He is happy.

Meanwhile, Jofri made a quick attempt to court Natembeya, but the Trans Nzoia governor politely declined.

Natembeya is focused on defending his seat and positioning himself strategically for the 2032 succession politics.

The chessboard remains active, and the dice continue to roll.

Within the SKM centre, there is considerable scepticism about the Ruaraka land thief as the running mate.

Their view is that he muddies what is otherwise a Mr. Clean ticket while adding little political value to the equation.

The only problem is that coalition is looking for a godfather, and with the Fourth President appearing to be their most realistic source of sponsorship, dissent will remain muted.

For now, sina mengi ya kusema.

[-Dennis Itumbi, CBS @OleItumbi]

Jofri,

As you retreat to think through and plan your role in the June 24th and 25th protests, as well as Saba Saba, we wish you well.

In the meantime, let me congratulate my good friend Kalonzo Musyoka for finally agreeing with his running mate, Edwin Sifuna, that the name of their coalition shall be Ukombozi Linda Mwananchi Alliance.

They have also agreed on their preferred Nairobi team. Babu Owino will run for Governor, Irungu Nyakera for Senator and someone you do not like for Women Representative.

I know you had previously advised that Nairobi should have a Kikuyu Governor. They have respectfully rejected that suggestion and settled on their own lineup. They are equally aware that you would have preferred Irungu Nyakera to challenge for Babu Owino's Embakasi seat, but they are comfortable with the arrangement they have chosen. In any case, Nyakera himself says you have mistreated him, I am sure you agree with that, especially with all the money he has given DCP.

As you take your rest, the team will be in the mountain, demonstrating they do not need you to make entry. Linda Mwananchi will be in Thika on 11th June and in Meru on 21st June.

Whether they have your blessing or not, Kalonzo's foot is firmly on the accelerator. It is good to note you have agreed to move the announcement of a candidate from next year to this year, because SKM will unveil his bid in August

Towards that end, Ukombozi, Linda Mwananchi Alliance has already attracted 7 parties that will sign an MOU in the next few weeks to kick-start their new vehicle.

Eugene Wamalwa, JB Muturi, Lenny Kivuti, Kawira Mwangaza, Irungu Nyakera and Kalonzo will all bring their parties on the table to put pen to paper and start their run behind SKM.

Yesterday, Fred called Kalonzo on loudspeaker. My two friends sitting on opposite sides listened in and had a good laugh about your famous 45-day timeline.

One of them remarked, "He is basically saying negotiate with me within 45 days. In reality, you only have 44 days left to give me a deal."

The other burst into laughter as he agreed with the analysis. You can probably guess who was who.

As for you, continue planning your role for June 24th and 25th. You have an established predictable pattern, like in 2024 it is prayers in the mountain with your phone off and then after your role is done, Mombasa.

For now, as usual.........
