The Political Angle - Kenya

South Korea president has been for his attempt to put in place Martial law..

Next time you hear these lame Kenyan politicians talking of how Kenya was at the same level as South Korea and Singapore in 1963..Tell them those two countries embraced the rule of law and accountability in governance, while we embraced corruption and zero accountability in governance.

The former Korean president Park Chung Hee was also removed in 2016, and later jailed for 25 years over corruption.

Nation reports that Ruto gave Uhuru 12 goats during the visit.

Nikama serikali iliamua kulipa mbuzi za mjane. 😀

This is also a clear indication that discussions had been doing on behind the scenes for a while.

The AU debate is for citizens like you and me to know the candidates. It is not likely to affect the votes of the states. The states' vote will be determined by factors outside of the debate.

Such include:

-Political lobbying
-Regional blocks
-Relations between countries etc

Government has clarified that the vaccines are locally produced, and have been in use for the last 12 years..

Karua on Gachagua: The impeachment was a sham. I’m not a fan of his because when he had the opportunity, he abused it. He was silent when Uhuru was being raided...he never saw that this could happen to him. Nevertheless, I stand for justice for him.

A vaccine is meant to address a particular disease or issue.

Instead of government calling those opposed to it stupid, it should be explaining to Kenyans what they seek to address.

-What disease
-Is there an outbreak or expected outbreak
-Who is supplying the vaccines
-What informed this decision
-Why is it an emergency

So far, the government is yet to clearly address the issues being raised. They seem to be in a rush.

So what if he has never been to an airport?

We saw the president dismiss those who opposed the Adani takeover by saying they have never been to an airport and have evil spirits.

Now we see the majority leader pushing the same narrative.

There are doctors, teachers, lawyers, economists, accountants, public policy experts, engineers etc who have never been to the airport. Does it mean they equally would not understand issues of PPP, corruption, Airport leasing and such?

These leaders are very delusional and arrogant. The elitism is mind boggling.

You mean there are people still living in tents 17 years later?

This is shocking.

The usual suspects showed up.

You will recall that after Raila entered into a political deal with with President Ruto, the USA and British ambassadors visited him at his capital hill office.

Guess what? today they visited President Uhuru Kenyatta at his family home in Ichaweri.

Nikama Uhuru ako ndani, ndani kabisa ya serikali.

The president's push for political support is in full swing as he tries to manage the backlash resulting from his government's inability to meet public expectations.

Today he met some of the evangelical church leaders.

I hope they asked him why, back in July, he promised young people and the country that he would reduce the number of advisors by half, only to end up increasing their numbers instead.

A Zetech student commited su***de last night in Witeithie, and was spotted in the morning. The note he left will make you extremely sad.

He talks about unpaid rent, inability to refill his gas, having to sell the gas cylinder to survive, being sodomized to survive and other issues. 😓

Recent events in South Korea illustrate the importance of having functional systems in place to hold leaders accountable.

The president attempted to declare martial law. In response, Members of Parliament fought their way through soldiers to enter the parliament building and revoke the declaration.

Since then, several developments have occurred:

- The president has issued an apology.
- His party is considering expelling him.
- An impeachment motion is in progress.
- The Minister of Defense has been arrested and attempted su***de while in custody.
- Police have raided the president's office.
-Insurrection charge is being considered by the police

As human beings, we deserve such systems in as well.

The type of deals this regime is making is alarming.

This is what happens when companies, registered this year by proxies and with no experience, are awarded a contract worth $104 billion.

If only we had a functioning parliament.

Let us hope this is a bad dream..

Moses Kuria has issued a statement in which he calls for the return of BBI and the unity of Mt Kenya region in the Jubilee Party with Uhuru Kenyatta as the party leader.

I guess it is safe to say his plans to urinate at the gate of Uhurus' Ichaweri residence has been suspended.

Mr. President, the common ground you need to find is with Kenyans. By leading a Truthful, accountable, transparent, and prudent government under the rule of law.

You do not need to find a common ground with Raila and Uhuru.
