Once again, I want to restate that Eng. Eric Mugaa, our Minister for Water, Sanitation& Irrigation maybe the only public servant that will leave public office without having been corrupted! Our donors especially Japan must be proud of him. Every generation gets someone that rises above the common filth. Mugaa, here are your flowers!

[Faith Odhiambo @FaithOdhiambo8]

The Speaker of the National Assembly admitted that he takes MPs to State House where the President hands them 10 TSC employment letters each, letters that are then sold for up to Sh400,000 apiece. This is not a joke. This is not politics as usual. This is a constitutional violation.

Article 237 of the Constitution gives the Teachers Service Commission exclusive authority to recruit and appoint teachers independently, on merit and without political interference. When the President, the Speaker, and MPs turn teacher recruitment into a patronage scheme, they are not just bypassing the TSC. They are dismantling one of the key independent institutions designed to protect public service from capture.

Qualified graduates are losing out. Young teachers who have waited years, interned, sat exams, and played by the rules are being pushed aside so that political favourites can buy their way into classrooms. Meanwhile, the very people sworn to uphold the Constitution are profiting from its breach, selling public jobs like commodities, treating education like a cartel.

The scale of the injustice is stark. TSC data shows a national teacher deficit of about 96,000–116,000 posts, with Junior Secondary Schools alone short by at least 72,000 teachers. Yet more than 300,000 trained teachers remain registered but unemployed, while appointments are being dished out at State House. In other words, classrooms face a massive teacher shortage, while a large pool of qualified, unemployed graduates should fill those gaps through transparent, merit-based recruitment.

This demands investigation. It demands accountability. If the Speaker can admit this on camera and face no consequences, then the Constitution is dead letter. The state must either respect the law or be held to it.

Gaza is the most well-documented genocide in history, yet the most denied by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

[The Blood Pressure Champion 🇺🇸🇰🇪 @zablonorina1]

Sifuna was right on this one.

When employment letters for teachers are being handed out at State House, we have a serious problem. Hiring teachers should be an institutional process handled by the employer not a political favour handed down by the President.

Public jobs should belong to the system, not to State House.

[Kipkalya Kones @MrKipkalya]

It is difficult to tell which one is worse, between employment letters being distributed only to regime-friendly MPs at State House, and those MPs subsequently selling them to wananchi.

But by saying this publicly, @HonWetangula has reminded the nation why @WilliamsRuto will never get the SOFTWARE of governance right.

Employment is now a factor of cronyism, favouritism and nepotism, all micromanaged by Ruto from State House.

What then is the work of state agencies like TSC, which are mandated to advertise and fill these vacancies?

Do they simply receive lists from State House?

[Pauline Njoroge @paulinenjoroge]

I could not believe my ears, I when Murkomen said that we should have kept off Homa Bay because the police had warned that there would be goons.

Since when is the work of the police simply to warn citizens that there will be goons? Is their duty not to identify, arrest and deal with those goons, while protecting the right of every Kenyan to move, assemble and engage in lawful political activity?

Next he will ask us, “Ulienda polling station kuchaguana kwa nini, na police walikuwa wamekwambia kutakuwa na goons?”

OPEN LETTER TO THE LUO NATION

As a Kalenjin, a cousin to the Luo, I say with all conviction that one indisputable truth is the Luo Nation has been in the forefront in our liberation struggle ab initio.

When England wanted to gift us independence (that we fought for independence is debatable), they offered Jaramogi Oginga Odinga to be our first Prime Minister. He demurred & said Jomo Kenyatta must be released & made the Prime Minister instead. Jomo became our first Prime Minister. In 1964,he became our 1st President & made Jaramogi his Vice President. Their fallout is well known. And “marginalization” of Nyanza begun. Or so some say. Jomo had powerful Luos in his government,

Fast forward. Luo Nation led Kenya in its 2nd liberation that made Kenya multi party. Then President Daniel Arap Moi co-opted LDP & gave Luo luminaries powerful positions in government! Moi who had been demonized was praised as holier than Moses!

Then in 2002, Luo Nation said KIBAKI TOSHA. After three years, Luo Nation teamed up with Kalenjin Nation & others to form Orange Movement. 2007 was our lowest moment. Kenya descended into tribal anarchy. The world saved us!

Then Mwai Kibaki entered into a Coalition Government with Raila Odinga. Luo Nation were happy to be part of the Government & Kibaki was praised to the high heavens.

2013 came. Luo Nation found themselves out for five years. Then in the second term of UHURUTO, there was handshake. Uhuru was praised as the messiah! Even Nyanza leaders danced on Uhuru’s birthdays!

Now, Uhuru is the devil incarnate. Nyanza is part of the BroadBased government & everything before today was Luo Marginalization! Now Luo say they are in paradise.

MAYBE, it is time Luo Nation enters into genuine self-introspection. Is co-opting of few Luo leaders in every government since 1963 good for them or beneficial to the few only? Why is it every time few are co-opted,the entire tribe is happy for that moment. It has been same for over 60 YEARS!

What does the Luo Nation want? If they have agreed that ODM & UDA come together,then they must dissolve their parties into one. A political marriage works if all feet are inside. Luo Nation must risk all or lose everytime then complain. They must stop being a flower girl in every wedding. They must be the Bride or Groom!

Any other arrangement will always have same outcome. Ending immediately after elections.

Valid question @WilliamsRuto

[Otiende Amollo, SC,MP, CBS, EBS @OAmollo]

At all material time, the D in ODM remains “ Democratic”! We must allow all persons to campaign anywhere without Let or Hindrance! Those who created chaos in Homa Bay by seeking to block some political actors from access must be condemned. It’s just that simple.

[Willis Evans Otieno @otienowill]

These goons you are breeding for political intimidation will not simply disappear after elections.

Once the money stops, the political rallies end and the protection is gone, many will reorganise into gangs and turn the same violence against the very communities and politicians that empowered them.

You are not building political strength. You are manufacturing a security crisis that may outlive your political career.

Violence is easy to sponsor. Controlling the monsters you create is another matter.

[Donald B Kipkorir @DonaldBKipkorir]

Political power no matter how powerful is transient. IT ENDS!

The law is transcendental. It cuts across all governments. IT IS PERPETUAL.

Therefore, those political power newbies who have just joined BroadBased Government should chill & humble themselves. Their blatant arrogance even attempting to give orders to the security system is irrational puerile exuberance! It doesn’t last.

[Donald B Kipkorir @DonaldBKipkorir]

You summon goons, invite them to violence, pay them, facilitate them to block roads,burn cars, kill Policemen … And instead of being arrested & charged with Murder & Terrorism, you are busy in Press Conferences calling the same Police you killed to arrest the victims! And the Police like us are just watching helplessly! We live in unreal times.

[NCIC Kenya @NCIC_Kenya]

The #NCIC has officially summoned Hon. Peter Kaluma, MP for Homa Bay Town Constituency, to appear before it on Wednesday, 19th August 2026, following utterances he made in Homa Bay on Saturday, 15th August 2026.

The Only National Conversation we need to have in Kenya is this:

How is that one becomes an a State Corporation CEO or Chairman, MCA, MP, Senator, Governor, Cabinet Minister, Deputy President & President with nothing or with minimal assets & in many cases with no house in the village or Nairobi, no car & no bank account & with one wife but in less than 5 YEARS, they have houses all over, multiple cars, local & foreign bank accounts & several mistresses? And all this time, the life of an average Kenyan is worse.

We can only fix Kenya if we make sure that one who becomes any of above, leaves public office with the assets he had with when he joined state/public office and if any increment, it is commensurate to his salary less taxes & expenditure. You can’t join state office with no house & leave after 5 years with two houses: how were you surviving?

Kenya needs honest conversation on its leadership. Homa Bay showed us leaders flying around in helicopters whilst its voters literally live in dust!

[Nelson Havi SC @NelsonHavi]

After exposing the deplorable state of road infrastructure and unemployment in Homa Bay County, Edwin Sifuna and James Orengo should now source for credible replacements for the current Governor and Senator of that County.

[Donald B Kipkorir @DonaldBKipkorir]

The say outside Homa Bay Town, the rest of Homa Bay looks like Yemen or Afghanistan! Non-existent roads!

[Donna Mugoh @Eddie_Mugoh]

Ama Homabay iko Yemen?

[Donald B Kipkorir @DonaldBKipkorir]

What is happening in Homa Bay is primitivity … In this day & age, organizing goons to disrupt opposition rallies is so stupid & retrogressive. Raila Odinga won’t have done it. We thought Gladys Wanga was a progressive leader. But then, this is Kenya … Political leaders are so short-sighted.

[Robert Mbok Madoo @robertmbok]

Extremely unfortunate

[Erick Okeyo, MBS, MKIM @canoneokeyo]

I have watched a clip of Hon George Opondo Kaluma allegedly inciting physical violence against any one chanting Wantam in Homa Bay . He further allegedly directs inspection on hotels and accommodation points for perceived “ enemies “ . Which country are we living in ? Is Homa Bay a”Haiti” of sorts and outside the Kenyan jurisdiction? These are punishable offences if we were not selectively applying the law . But one day such leaders will be subjected to the full force of the Law . Doesn’t matter how long it takes . #wantam @LindaMwananchi_
