Raila Odinga was a true champion of democracy. A child of independence, he endured decades of struggle and sacrifice for the broader cause of freedom and self-governance in Kenya. Time and again, I personally saw him put the interests of his country ahead of his own ambitions. Like few other leaders anywhere, he was willing to choose the path of peaceful reconciliation without compromising his core values. Through his life, Raila Odinga set an example not just for Kenyans, but across Africa and around the world. I know he will be missed. Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and to the people of Kenya.
The hardest photo I have seen this morning.
This young man is called Hanad and he is from Mandera County
Upon realizing that the County Government of Mandera is milking them to exhaustion,
He courageously came out to unmask the looting business of the area MCA.
The MCA bribed cops to arrest and illegally detain him.
We MUST release Hanad before they do to him what they did to Bruce.
#FreeHanad #RutoMustGo
Let's make more noise for Hanad.
The Hashtag is 👉🏻#FreeHanad
In mandera in a police station where he is he might be killed
In mandera it's more of jungle law
Speak up #FreeHanad#FreeAoko
Sorry I almost forgot to remind you this.
Today, October 8, 2024, is the mention date for a judicial review of the decision to lease Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to Adani.
This is very important. Keep your ears and eyes out.
As you can see, Gok is working overtime to distract everyone.
-Morara arrested same day.
-Gachagua impeachment same day.
-Corenelius Kiprono also arrested.
REFOCUS your energy to Adani.
Tweet and retweet #RejectAdani widely.

A friend forwarded me this. I cried …
*Mama I made it!*
I occupied Parliament
Remember the #occupyParliament demonstrations?
But tell papa I’m sorry
I won’t come home tonight
Not because I’m spending at a friends’. No!

MY instant reaction: President William Ruto could have withdrawn the Finance Bill a few days ago and saved lives. But he was obstinate, and I watched police shoot protesters dead for no reason at all
Let me annoy you all further.
ENTER THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST BILL!!!
They want themselves and their families to legally access government tenders! BY LAW.

We call on everyone to come out, and join the nation-wide strike tomorrow. Gen Z are granting all hardworking Kenyans a day off. #RejectFinanceBill2024#TotalShutDownKenya
REVENUE COLLECTION:
Kenyans pay taxes equivalent to the 3 East African countries combined.
Kenya Revenue target: $23 billion
Tanzania - $12.5 billion
Uganda - $7.5 billion
Rwanda - $2.5 billion
Total 3 countries = $22.5 billion
Kenya population: 50M
The 3 EAC countries population: 120M
Clearly, our problem is not revenue!
Despite our expenditure budget of $ 31 billion, we have the highest poverty rate, highest unemployment rate, highest cost of living, highest Cost of doing business etc in the region
