Drama unfolded in the Senate after Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah and Speaker Amason Kingi engaged in a heated exchange over Omtatah’s demand for evidence to support claims of misuse of public funds.
Tensions escalated when Kingi told Omtatah that he could not dictate how the House operates. In response, the senator insisted that, as a representative of taxpayers, he had a duty to "dictate" how public money is spent, adding that he would rather be ejected from the House than be part of what he described as a scam.
I have seen the Kenya Kwanza regime doing a lot of public education on the Finance Bill, maybe thinking they are preventing another June 2024 moment.
What they do not understand is that June 2024 may not repeat itself as a Finance Bill protest, but it opened the door for anything. Kenyans can wake up tomorrow and protest over taxes, corruption, unemployment, police brutality, arrogance, school fees, fuel prices, electricity bills, or even because they do not like how the President smiles when people are suffering.
That is how uncalculating this regime is. They think the problem was one document called the Finance Bill, yet the real problem is anger, mistrust and the feeling that citizens are being ruled by people who do not listen.
You can explain the Finance Bill from morning to evening, but you cannot public educate people out of hunger, joblessness and betrayal.
Mathe was telling me how guka was a menace. Ati wangelipwa pesa ya pyrethrum alafu mvua impate locals alikuwa analipa mtu atoke nje anyeshewe alafu arudi ndani ndo aone kama mvua ni kubwa na zikishika sana analipa mtu wa punda anapanda juu kama farasi
Kenyan police, after "successful" dispersing crowds, why the need to hunt them down like criminals? Surely picketing doesn't warrant the force being used. We have to get rid of this police bad culture completely!
A Kenyan has gone to the President's account and commented, "Mungu kubali hii sadaka hata kama si nono" and I now believe the saying that "Fear anyone who doesn't fear Kenyans." Khabusie!
"Why do Americans think that their lives are more important than the lives of Kenyans?"
My CNN report on the public opposition to an Ebola isolation facility for Americans in Kenya
CNN source: Americans arrived in Laikipia Airbase yesterday as plans for US Ebola isolation facility go ahead despite court order.
Current US & Kenya governments - both Trump & Ruto administrations - have a history of ignoring court rulings they don't like
The U.S. Secretary of State says that Kasongo personally reached out to their govt offering Kenya as a dumping ground for Ebola victims in exchange for 1.7 B
America didn’t come looking for Kenya
Ruto offered to turn our country into a paid quarantine camp for Ebola patients
- Filistinli vatandaş: "Elimde belgeler var, burası benim evim."
• İsrailli bakan Ben Gvir: "Umurumda değil. 2 saat içinde gidin yoksa ölürsünüz."
Bu zülmü seyreden ve kıpırdamayan insanlık, bu zulme ortak sayılmaz mı?
The reason Ebola never gets to Kenya is because Uganda & Rwanda ensure it is contained at the source & never spreads beyond borders. It's not because Kenya can prevent its spread leave alone contain it. But here is Ruto airlifting the disease into our country for some cash🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
