@paulinenjoroge Uhuru's digital footprints can never be erased 🤣🤣

[Shannon Thoiyani @s_thoiyani]

@paulinenjoroge @orengo_james Yes, yes! She's one of a kind and good at what she does. That's why Baba chose her for the AU job!

[Shannon Thoiyani @s_thoiyani]

@SirJohnKE The two would make a great team. I support!

We had a great day in Narok during the homecoming of Jubilee Party SG, Moitalel Ole Kenta.

The Jubilee Party Leader, H.E Uhuru Kenyatta, was represented at the event by his brother, Muhoho Kenyatta.

While addressing the gathering via a phone call, the former President spoke on the importance of the independence of political parties, and strongly rebuked attempts by elements within the regime to interfere with the operations of opposition parties.

He further emphasised his right to participate in politics even in retirement, citing both local and global examples of former heads of state who after leaving office, continue to associate with political parties and engage in political causes.

[Shannon Thoiyani @s_thoiyani]

@paulinenjoroge As a Kenyan citizen, and Kenya being a democratic country, the right to participate in the politics of this country is fully enshrined in the constitution. The former head of state should not retreat! We're fully behind him 💪🏾

I have seen some people circulating a 2017 screenshot, claiming that I am lying and pretending when I say that Baba was my friend and that I was like his daughter.

In 2017, we were on different political sides. Like in any heated political contest, many things were said in the course of political banter, something both Baba and Uhuru openly acknowledged and apologised for, including on behalf of their supporters.

From November 2018, I began working closely with Baba, shortly after his appointment as AU’s High Representative for Infrastructure Development. At the time, I was with the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD), and our office supported his role.

I was also part of his 2022 campaign, and in 2024 he personally appointed me into his AUC campaign team.

Over a period of 7 years, I had the privilege of learning directly from him. He gave me numerous opportunities, travelled with me across Africa and beyond, and allowed me to sit in high-level meetings that shaped my perspective and growth.

That was Baba! A man who never judged me by my tribe or my previous political positions. He saw my potential and gave me an opportunity. He often expressed how proud he was of my work and my convictions.

The last time we spoke was on 8th October 2025, while he was still in India, a week before he passed on. I even made a post about that conversation on the same day.

That was Baba…my friend!

So, to those trying to twist this story to fit a convenient political narrative I will ask, WHO TOLD YOU? Do you claim to know me better than Baba did? And isn’t the same Ruto you now support the one who once called Baba all manner of names? Did he ever publicly apologise the way Baba and Uhuru did? What exactly explains this selective memory, this hypocrisy and these double standards?

All in all, yesterday I was in Kisumu, and was so overwhelmed by the love that was expressed. On the way to the rally, so many young people kept calling me by name and saying how much they love me for supporting Baba. Others were even calling me msichana ya Baba. This is the real ground!

[Shannon Thoiyani @s_thoiyani]

@paulinenjoroge People will always say what they want to say, but it will never change the fact that you loved Baba and he loved you back. That's why he chose you for the AUC job even when he could have chosen someone else. Keep your head up!

[Shannon Thoiyani @s_thoiyani]

Hii ni ishara ya kwamba Kasongo ni Wan Tam, whether he kithni or ndekni! ☝🏾🔥🔥

[Pauline Njoroge @paulinenjoroge]

Nakuru felt like a moment in history!

From the streets where hundreds of people lined up to wave as we made our way to church, to Mazembe grounds where thousands gathered…

The love, the energy, the passion and the hope reflected on people’s faces…

Something big is happening in this country, and you can feel it.

[UK in Kenya 🇬🇧🇰🇪 @UKinKenya]

Yesterday, we celebrated exceptional women leaders driving the 🇬🇧🇰🇪partnership forward across government, media & civil society.

Hosted by @edwardabarnett alongside HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh, the reception advanced the Women, Peace & Security agenda ahead of #IWD2026.

[Shannon Thoiyani @s_thoiyani]

@paulinenjoroge @UKinKenya @edwardabarnett Keep soaring higher my dear. You deserve every good thing that's coming your way.

Miguna’s deportation was a decision by multiple state agencies, including the National Security Council where Ruto sat as DP. Most importantly, he was deported for failing to regularize his citizenship which the court ruled he must apply!

MIGUNA MIGUNA, speaking to Citizen TV: "Dr. Fred Matiangi exemplified the abuse of power in its purest form...if we want to transform the country, we cannot tolerate, entertain and coddle characters like Matiang'i."

[Shannon Thoiyani @s_thoiyani]

You should also highlight what Miguna has said about Baba. Ama you have selective amnesia?
