A legend in my book.
There’s a Cold War in Nairobi involving watu wa mjengo between Kenyans, Burundians and Congolese.
They’re taking ksh 300-500 where Kenyans used to get ksh 800-1200 per day.
William Ruto was elected to punish Kenyan voters for electing bad leaders.
He's not in office to bring development but to show Kenyans what incompetent, clueless & corrupt president can do when given an opportunity to lead.
🚨BREAKING: Didier Drogba says if the USA didn't want other Countries citizens in the US they shouldn't have bid for the Fifa world cup 2026 and says denial of Iran supporters and Somali referee Omar Artan is totally unacceptable, Football should be separated from politics
"When a country bids to host the biggest football tournament on the planet, it knows exactly what comes with it. Players, referees, officials and supporters from every corner of the world are part of the package."
"I look at the situation involving Somali referee Omar Artan and I feel disappointed for him. FIFA selected him because he earned that opportunity on merit, yet he was unable to participate after being denied entry."
"Then you hear about Iran's football federation claiming that its supporter ticket allocation was withdrawn just days before the tournament. If true, that leaves ordinary fans paying the price for issues that have nothing to do with football."
"The people suffering are not politicians. They're supporters who save money for years hoping to follow their national team at a World Cup."
"Football has always been one of the few things capable of bringing different cultures together. The moment politics starts deciding who gets to be part of that experience, everyone loses."
"I played in World Cups and international tournaments. The beauty of those events is seeing supporters from dozens of countries sharing the same streets, the same stadiums and the same passion."
"No fan should be judged because of their nationality, and no referee should miss the biggest moment of his career because of political circumstances beyond his control."
"FIFA, governments and football authorities need to find solutions because the headlines right now are about visas, travel restrictions and disputes instead of the football itself."
"The World Cup should belong to the world. That's what makes it special. The game must always come first, and politics should never be allowed to overshadow football's greatest celebration."
Article 129 of our Constitution provides:-
129. (1) Executive authority derives from the people of Kenya and shall be exercised in accordance with this Constitution.
(2) Executive authority shall be exercised in a manner compatible with the principle of service to the people of Kenya, and for their well-being and benefit.
Mr. President, your authority derives from the people of Kenya and must be exercised by you for their well-being and benefit.
They have said a loud NO to this American Ebola Centre at Nanyuki. There are Court Orders halting its construction. Three peaceful demonstrators have now been shot dead by the police.
Mr. President, you’re in manifest violation of this Article, of the Court Orders, of the Right to Life and of Peaceful Demonstrations.
Anyone who has read Animal Farm can see the warning signs unfolding before our eyes in Kenya. The pigs have taken over the farm, rewritten the rules, protected one another, and convinced the rest of us that suffering is normal.
That is exactly how it feels when those entrusted with power appear more interested in protecting corruption than protecting citizens. How do MPs abandon the probe into the alleged Sh6.3 billion eCitizen scandal and expect Kenyans to remain silent? How does such a serious matter simply fade away while ordinary people are taxed harder, businesses are collapsing, jobs are disappearing, and the cost of living keeps rising?
The tragedy is that it no longer feels like one arm of government has failed. It feels like all the arms of government have quietly agreed to look away together. Parliament is supposed to oversight the Executive. The Judiciary is supposed to defend justice. The Executive is supposed to serve the people. But when corruption becomes normal, accountability disappears, and public anger is ignored, citizens begin to lose faith in the entire system.
Kenya does not need excuses. Kenya needs accountability. We need answers on eCitizen. We need Parliament to stop behaving like a retirement home for public scandals. We need institutions that fear the people more than they fear political masters. We need leaders who understand that public money is sacred because it comes from the sweat, pain and sacrifice of ordinary citizens.
At this point, Kenyans must embrace peaceful, lawful and fearless civic resistance. We must refuse to normalize theft. We must reject leaders who defend looting. We must organize, speak, vote wisely, demand resignations where necessary, and use every constitutional avenue available to remind those in power that Kenya belongs to the people — not to a cartel of political survivors.
The looting is too much. Life is too hard. The silence is too dangerous. And the betrayal is too painful.
A country cannot be robbed in broad daylight while its citizens clap for the thieves.
A senior Kenyan politician has bought 5 top of the private jets, brand new. The said politician has spent USD 1B in the purchase and it's announced that more private jets will be bought for African skies.
No comment.
At a time when Kenya yearns for truth, courage, and accountability, @dkmaraga continues to stand as a voice of reason and justice. Tomorrow on The Situation Room will be a moment of national reflection on governance, rights, and the courage to fight for what is right.
The World Cup shouldn’t be taking place in the racist USA.
African players, referees and fans are being subjected to trauma by Pedophile @realDonaldTrump and his fellow white supremacists.
What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.
The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

Ruto had a problem with Uhuru Kenyatta when he was the deputy president. When he became president, he had a problem with his deputy. You can easily guess who the problem is.
