Huyu Mkora wa Kasarani simuachi!

A legislator who's supposed to protect Kenyans is at the heart of laundering Money as a Digital Thug

Sportpesa and Aviator are now where Drug Lords and Politicians are cleaning Money

Every 2 minutes sequence, you will see the same accounts placing bets of 30,000 for 24hours nonstop. These are accounts owned by our politicians.

All they have to do is open an account with sportpesa Aviator to "show proof of betting "so that the money cannot be questioned

Karauri will then have them selected manually where the Winnings are purported to be multiplied by ×30 or ×100 depending on the amount which is being laundered.

So every Monday, RNN motors which he co -owns with a weird Arab (Mohammed Ahmed Odaymat) purports to give a Jackpot of a Bentley or Range

But no car leaves that show room!

While the cartel counts its winnings, real lives are collapsing

Hii kwanza ya akina Karauri is a pure crimes syndicate that's nefariously licenced

A father in Kisii took his life after borrowing KSh 150,000 to chase a jackpot dream.

A boda rider in Umoja lost his entire savings in a week, his account frozen after a phantom deduction

In Nyeri, a college student left a suicide note addressed to “the game that promised everything but took it all.”

Broken Homes. Suicides and the nation is eeerily silent as lives are shattered

The regulators are silent. Media Houses are complicit. Bribed by the Cartels

Overstated jackpot winnings, phantom sponsorships- all avenues to clean cash while pretending to “empower” sports.

His other partner, Nikolov has been tied to international cybercrime syndicates — particularly credit card skimming and digital wallet draining operations across Europe and Asia.

He exported these tactics to Kenya. They've embedded data-extraction systems in Sportpesa that allegedly siphon card details, track user spending patterns, and quietly drain cards through micro-transactions and ghost charges.

This could explain the mysterious deductions many punters experience — topped-up accounts that vanish, disputed transactions, and constant card security warnings from banks!

This Isn’t Betting. It’s Digital Banditry!

When you say you can't, you stop the creative powers in you. When you say you can you free them.

Our words shape our reality. Doubt locks doors, belief opens them. Great things start with a simple "I can." Trust your potential, act, and watch possibilities unfold.

If the Constitution mandates elections in the fifth year (Art. 136(2)(a)), how can anyone claim the term must first be completed before elections are held?

Are we now rewriting the Constitution to suit political timelines?

Why does Article 136(2)(a) fix the general election to a specific date—second Tuesday in August in the fifth year—if the intention was to let each president serve five full years?

Wouldn't the Constitution have said “five years after swearing in” instead?

Isn’t it dangerous to reduce the Constitution’s clarity into a moving target based on when each president is sworn in?

What happens if swearing in delays further in future elections—do we push elections into the sixth year?

If Article 142(1) defines when the term begins, and Article 136(2)(a) dictates when elections must occur, isn’t the only lawful interpretation that no president serves a full five years?

Isn’t that constitutional, not controversial?

Can a president serve beyond the constitutional election date simply because they were sworn in later?

Or does the Constitution prioritize the election cycle over individual terms?

[Rose Seko @LadyRoseSeko]

If you are depressed, you are living in the PAST.
If you are anxious, you are living in the FUTURE.
If you are at peace, you are living in the PRESENT.

Your life is only real in the present moment. Your mind wanders, but you can only find peace by fully being here. Now.

Let go of all worries and be greatful for all the positive in your life.

The Constitution in Article 136(2)(a) states:

“An election of the President shall be held on the second Tuesday in August in every fifth year.”

2022 is Year 1 (the year of election),

2023 = Year 2,

2024 = Year 3,

2025 = Year 4,

2026 = Year 5 so the second Tuesday of August 2026 is when the election must be held.

Waiting until August 2027 means:

You're starting elections in the 6th year, not the 5th.

You’re effectively adding an unconstitutional extension to the term of office.

That’s a violation of Article 1 (sovereignty of the people) and Article 2(2) (no one can claim or exercise state authority beyond what the Constitution allows).

And here’s the clincher:

If Parliament is dissolved early, elections are held immediately. But even when not dissolved, the Constitution demands elections in the fifth year. Not after. Not beyond.

So if the term began in August 2022, then August 2026 is within the fifth year, and any date beyond that begins to flirt with illegality.

Wishing you all a joyful and peaceful Easter.

May this season of renewal inspire hope, unity, and fresh beginnings in every heart. Let’s embrace love, kindness, and purpose as we build a brighter future together. Happy Easter to you and your loved ones.

1. The Constitution doesn’t whisper—it speaks with precision.

Article 136(2)(a)
“An election of the President shall be held on the second Tuesday in August in every fifth year."

Read that again: in the fifth year. Not after five years. Not whenever someone feels like.

2. If you want to know what “fifth year” means, start counting:

- 2022 = Year 1
- 2023 = Year 2
- 2024 = Year 3
- 2025 = Year 4
- 2026 = Year 5

That lands us at August 11, 2026 the second Tuesday of August. That's your election date.

3. Some are waving Article 142, which says a President serves a 5-year term from swearing-in.

True—but that’s a general term provision.

Election dates are governed by a specific provision: Article 136.

And in constitutional interpretation:
Specific > General. Every. Single. Time.

4. Let’s talk precedent—Uhuru Kenyatta was sworn in on 9th April 2013.

If you went by Article 142 alone, he’d serve until April 2018.

But guess what? Elections were held on 8th August 2017.

Why? Because the Constitution fixed elections in the fifth year, not after five full years.

5. Second term? Even better example.

Uhuru was sworn in 28th November 2017 after a repeat election.

But elections were held on 9th August 2022 . He served 4 years and 9 months.

Again—no 5 full years. No problem. Constitution was followed.

6. So let’s cut through the fog.

Anyone insisting on 2027 is either:
- Playing politics with the Constitution, or
- Ignoring how this very Constitution worked in 2017 and 2022.

Either way, it’s dishonest.

7. We’re a Republic, not a dynasty.

If your only path to power is extending terms through calendar tricks, then you’ve already lost the people.

2026 is the election year. Prepare. Not plead.

[Dr. Miguna Miguna @MigunaMiguna]

I agree with @otienowill on this.

[Rose Seko @LadyRoseSeko]

This is the beauty of Luo culture. Songs are sung, drums are played, and people dance in their colourful traditional clothes. It’s more than a party, it’s how we share love, joy, and history. When the music starts, the heart speaks.
