Mheshimiwa @edwinsifuna be still and still and know that Jehovah is the Lord. This storm shall pass and the wheat shall be sifted from the chaff! Hongera Governor @GeorgeNatembeya for looking out for Edwin. Kasongo's money may seem formidable in the immediate moment, but it has limited influence in the long run!
Congratulations Judge @dkmaraga for awakening this nation from our deep slumber on the basic governance structures in our national Constitution 2010. Kenyans continue to suffer under very punitive policies that are unwarrantedly caused and enforced by these politicians and yet, the same political class continues to meddle in the choices that Kenyans want to make on their political rights. The Tallying Center "BOMAS" concept has time and time again been cited as a "crime scene" in betraying the will of the citizens of this Country, but this has been ignored by the the same people who are guilty of overturning the will of the people, not withstanding; the attendant mayhem and socioeconomic losses that Kenyans have had to bear in the hands of the same architecs of the theft of their votes. Kindly allow me to make this observation; the stability of this Country and the welfare of 55 million plus, Kenyans and their loved ones are too important, to be left at the mercy and mischievous whims of some 2000 or so, politicians with their self-interested appointed IEBC agents to do whatever they choose with our lives! The law gives the Head of State the responsibility to appoint IEBC Commissioners and no body has challenged that right. But, the need for our electoral process to remain above board, cannot be negotiated with him or any other competitor in the elections; it has to rest squarely in the domain of Kenyan citizens. Kenyans foot the bill; they must have the final word on this matter! Everyone, must be brought to account! @OkiyaOmtatah@HonJBMuturi@BarackMuluka
David Maraga: The Constitution does not provide for a national tallying centre. The role of IEBC chair is to declare results, not retally votes. We demand that there be no tallying centre at Bomas or anywhere in this country.
Thank you @TonyGachok15769 for the great work you are doing in this Country. You have literally replacement the National Assembly headed by that pretentious "Pope" who is married. This KK regime, has stubbornly disregarded and ignored the Constitutional guard rails of this Country and it is behaving as if the nation Kenya, is no longer going to exist after their tenure!
Dear Prof. was this a Commissioning and Launching event? Ordinarily, it would be expected that commissioning should be after the project has already crossed earmarking which, was undertaken during the project design/planning stages and now, we should be operationalizing for the 58,000 households to utilize the facility?
H.E the President's tour of duty in Kisumu County continued today with focus on infrastructure transformation. Infrastructure development is the foundational backbone for the socio-economic uplifting of the common mwananchi.
We witnessed the commissioning of the KSh8.4 billion Lake Victoria Water and Sanitation Project in Nyamasaria, which is earmarked to connect 53,000 additional households to reliable water and 23,000 to sewerage services, while reducing water losses by 27%, while connecting more housing units to water and sewerage services,
We also inspected the Chemelil-Muhoroni Junction Road, part of the KSh15.7 billion Kisumu-Chemelil-Muhoroni-Kipsitet upgrade, and flagged off the launch of the KSh962 million, 12km Rabuor-Chiga Road, which will provide an alternative link between Kondele, Kibos and the Kisumu-Ahero Road at Rabuor Market, easing movement and opening up more opportunities for communities along the corridor.
The national government has also allocated KSh23 billion for eight new roads covering 270km, positioning Kisumu for better connectivity, stronger trade and greater economic opportunity.
The commissioning of the new Kisumu Air Traffic Control Tower at Kisumu International Airport will strengthen aviation safety and efficiency placing the Kisumu International Airport strategic gor growth, while the Kisumu West Sub-County Police Headquarters in Otonglo will enhance security services.
As Kisumu continues to grow, we remain committed to working with the National Government to deliver infrastructure that opens opportunities, strengthens our economy and improves the quality of life for our people.

Dear Sir, @edwinsifuna good evening and I hope you are fine. Please allow me to invite Governor @GeorgeNatembeya to this conversation? I know, you are widely accepted across the Country and chances are , you might be attracting s lot of envy from outside and even even from within the Linda Mwananchi movement. I don't know if it is only we who seeing this apparent confusion with the posturing of Orengo and Babu in some amorphous positions of Party Leader, Party Chairman and pretending to tell us tell us that mara, you both with Orengo will be subjected to internal Party democracy. These are my unfortunate views; you are being played. Orengo is keen to continue the politics of brokerage with Kasongo or whoever will have the leverage as you do the heavy lifting. Babu is more concerned about you being out of the picture come, 2032 because, if you win the general elections in 2027, his ambition of trying to vie in 2032 will have suffered a fatal blow. Do not allow or imagine that Orengo and Babu can go to negotiate for your benefit among the other opposition leaders. My thoughts are are that you need to draw the line this early which will give your supporters sufficient confidence by identifying and promoting another political vehicle. That isnif you truly mean business, because these people want to ride on your back to cross the river to their individual ambitions and then abandon you before you achieve your own ambition. Blessings.
By the way, just what goes on in the heads of police officers like this one? Do they find time to read or update themselves on the current laws in this country? Even, when you listen to those who have taken up new jobs like the other one who is currently the government spokesman, there is no difference! They keep sacrificing @Kenyans to preserve a system and officials who disrespect and turn them literally into brainless animals to be used against fellow countrymen,.
Nairobi Regional Commander Issa Mohammad has banned rallies in Nairobi CBD today ahead of the Linda Mwananchi rally.
Respectfully, Commander: Article 37 belongs to the people, not to the police. Kenyans have the constitutional right to assemble, demonstrate, picket and petition peacefully and unarmed.
The Constitution does not create a political exception for Nairobi CBD. You won't believe.

This obsession with the colonial fraud constitution is creating hallucinations. Kenya may have enabled you to be unimaginably rich and even allowed you to reach where you never imagined, but Kenya belongs to Kenyans NOT the government! Get used to this reality if you want to avoid suffering a paralysis?
Ruto has said : “Sitakubali kuwapatia nchi ya Kenya.”
He should remember the Constitution: Sovereign power belongs to the people. Not to the man in State House.
A president does not “give” Kenya to anyone. Kenyans elect. Kenyans remove.
This is not toughness. It is the talk of a man who thinks the country is his to withhold. And he will not believe
Omwami @edwinsifuna, bushiele and my best wishes. I would like to encourage you to stay the course while holding on these three beliefs; consistency of messaging, inclusivity across regions and age groups, and finally be very institutional with confidential consultation meetings (to avoid being blackmailed). I most humbly urge you to keep my friend, Governor @GeorgeNatembeya deep inside your advisory circle? He understands the real DNA and architecture of Government operations, whether; it is on security or inter-communal relationships. My best is that, you might just eventually, remain the only viable opposition candidate after most of the dirt has been unearthed of most of these other candidates. Thank you and good day.
How does the demand for fewer Counties, address the real pain issues facing @kenyans of; high taxes, corruption, extra-judicial executions, abductions, failure of the education and health sectors etc? If you play into the constitutional review issues, you will miss the point and land yourselves into a trap that you will not get out of before the next elections cycle.
Dear Leaders, good afternoon and my best wishes. @edwinsifuna@RealMatiangi@dkmaraga@HonJBMuturi@rigathi@MarthaKarua Please allow me to inquire; could some of you take some time to follow up on the appeal by @OkiyaOmtatah regarding the IEBC voters' register anomalies? He is proposing for a comprehensive review of the entire database to update the data accuracy. If this can be done within this period before the new voting system provider is finalized, it would be truly useful. It seems, every one is on the campaign trail but very little effort is focusing on the integrity of the process.
Hello @SpiceFMKE , this administration has failed @Kenyans constantly due to its lack of commitment to any long-term public policy direction. The President has remained focused of this "shiny object syndrome" ideological framing for far too long. When he assumed office, he went overboard shouting about Kenya being the origin of mankind and he invited every black person to come back home. He wanted to play the role of the assuring father figure who would host all black people of the world. Now, he is the same people who has encouraged Kenyans to travel abroad and seek jobs including even menial low paying jobs. So, what is the difference with non-kenyans coming here to undertake such unskilled jobs? We did not invite them to come here purely to pick national IDs and voter cards and then expect them to live off the generosity of begging until August 2027!
Joe Mutambu: You can’t have someone who is in this country illegally and working here without documentation and then, when the President calls them out, we talk about impunity. It is for us as Kenyans to understand where the President is coming from.

Good morning judge @dkmaraga, I hope you are keeping well. I kindly wish to raise some observations hopefully, for your attention and possible action. The GenZ voter registration and mobilization efforts appear to be missing. The loose ends on the IEBC ground rules which remain largely open to adminstrative interventions at the 11th hour, remain a greater risk to transparency that I don't think, is being given adequate attention. Is it possible to tie all critical operational IEBC interventions like; ordering the use of manual register whenever there's internet failure, the closure of live streaming of results, the authorization of ungazetted polling stations e.t.c. interventions so that they can only be authorised by the judiciary before they are implemented? The declaration of interim results could be directed to happen within 6 hours of Constituency exit polls? The Tallying Center or Bomas drama which holds the Country on tender hooks indefinitely, must be addressed by petitioning the court seeking its abolition should happen by a piece of legislation. I would like to make this unique observation and seek your thoughts on the same; why should the President who is a candidate in an election, retain executive authority presiding over all governance organs of the State during the entire period. I suggest, the President should exercise limited authority in the period of one month to and on month after the declaration of Presidential elections? I suggest that efforts be explored to transfer the command of all State Organs which include; the KDF, the NPS, the IEBC, the National Coordination etc to be answerable to the Judiciary for the period of one month before and the period on not less than one month following the declaration of the results, until a new office bearer takes the oath of office. I believe, if your legal teams and legislators can be requested to draft these bills, the mood in the Country at the moment can make this to happen as minimal reforms before the next elections. The justification is that the current hostile environment which appears to be weaponized to intimidate and harass the opposition could easily make voter suppression a real asset to the incumbent. The current goonism phenomena in the Country, easily makes this latter proposal so necessary!
Thank you Kiongozi @rigathi for this generous act. This election will be won on the basis of individual generosity or lost on the basis of individual selfishness. Wamalwa supported Kibaki and he won, will you be this magnanimous and support @edwinsifuna ?
Everyone is allowed to dream and fortunately, even people who are necessarily intelligent, can find some time or place to sleep! Dream the much you want but remember one thing; dictatorship can only survive on the fuel of imaginary fear of the victims. Once the victims realise that, even the dictator is equally fearful and afraid, the illusion evaporates and reality takes over!
Gov Lelelit: “Tunaweza badilisha katiba, Rais Ruto uende 7 terms.”
History is rarely kind to countries that rewrite the constitution to keep one man in office.
Lord Acton warned that power corrupts; Ali Mazrui added more. We will reject such an attempt.
