I have compiled a number of videos which outrightly shows why Kenyans must reject anyone Rigathi Gachagua is supporting. Wamunyoro is a time bomb. If you make a mistake, you'll regret forever. #GachaguaWeKnow
Well said!
Crystal Asige is a woman of substance! A solid woman who has the best reasoning capacity and the ability to understand both the able and differently able people.
Stop lying, these are not the Bangladesh woman and man who committed adultery in the holy mosque; Masjid Haram. Get the facts right before you write anything about the case; do your research properly.
May Allah forgive his shortcomings and grant him janatul Firdowsa, Aamiin Allahuma Aamiin.
SAD NEWS; Dr. Abdullahi Shongolo, a renowned custodian of Boran history and culture, has died. His passing is a great loss to the Boran community, leaving behind a legacy of research, cultural preservation, and historical knowledge.
Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un. May Allah grant him Jannatul Firdaus.
😭😭😭😭
Inalilahi waa inaa ilehi Rajiuun.
I am deeply saddened by the passing of PRO. ABDULLAHI SHONGOLO, distinguished anthropologist whose research made significant contributions to the study and preservation of African culture, indigenous knowledge and customary governance in East Africa.
Professor Shongolo was widely respected for documenting African traditions, oral literature, pastoralism and traditional political institutions, helping bring the community’s cultural heritage and indigenous knowledge to wider academic attention.
Among his notable works was his collaboration with Professor Günther Schlee on Pastoralism and Politics in Northern Kenya and Southern Ethiopia (2012), which explored the relationship between pastoral communities, political authority, ethnicity and intercommunity relations. He also contributed to the documentation of Borana proverbs and oral poetry, examining their role in preserving cultural values, historical memory and political expression.
His passing is a loss to his family, the people of Marsabit county particularly Moyale, and our nation. I extend my heartfelt condolences to his family, and the people of MarsabitCounty. May God grant him Janaaah.
Iraaa Hafaaa!

Above all he was very humble and kind to anyone who interacted with him. He was loving, caring and extremely supportive to everyone. May Allah forgive his shortcomings and grant him janatul Firdowsa, Aamiin thuma Aamiin.

She comes from Ijara in Garissa county and she can’t claim to go back to Somalia. Stop misleading the readers. She said that Somalis are very few in Kisii university hence appreciated all the students who supported her . She is a proud Somali girl!

How to End Gachagua's Mt Kenya 'Kingpinship', else, The Country Falls
People who know him well - from his UoN days - all say that 'Rigathi is worse than Ruto'.
In Central, his supporters fall in 3 categories:
- Manipulated to like him;
- Politicians who now believe they must be loyal to him for political survival;
- Wananchi who believe 'everybody loves him, so I also support him, even if I have no reason to like him'.
Among people outside the Mountain - including Edwin Sifuna - many believe 'to remove Ruto, we must work with Gachagua, because he controls Mt Kenya vote'.
Therefore, if people from Central stopped supporting RiggyG, those from outside Central would also stop supporting him - because they would then see no reason to.
How will Central people end this 'Gachagua-worship?'
By identifying how it has come about & reversing what has been done.
FACT: This 'Gachagua is Mt Kenya kingpin' talk started less than 2 years ago.
i.e. within less than 2 years, they have been able to manipulate millions of people, until now they view Gachagua as some sort of semi-deity.
Imagine so many people calling Rigathi 'My Kingpin', yet when you ask them to state reasons they love him, they have no answer.
And this is the 2nd time this is happening in Central region - after the same was done regarding Ruto in 2018-2023.
Then after 2023, they started saying, 'We were duped (to love Ruto)!'.
Today, Mt Kenya people have been duped to view Gachagua in the same manner they viewed Ruto several years ago.
This problem cannot be solved, unless the strategy used to manipulate the good people of the Mountain is identified & neutralised.
They have used 2 methods to make Central people believe Gachagua has suddenly become a semi-deity: Mass media (TV/Radio) & Social media.
Therefore, the solution to this problem lies in these 2 areas.
1. TV/Radio (Broadcasting to Central KE audience)
These vernacular TV/Radio stations have had the most impact in promoting Gachagua to Central people, especially among older people - millennials & older.
My understanding is that, owners of the largest media stations operating in the region, know Gachagua very well & consider it a tragedy that he is now viewed as a 'hero' by many people in the region.
How some producers & presenters in these media companies came to 'work for Rigathi's interests' is an area I won't go to now (to avoid digressing).
At least one of the media stations attempted several weeks ago to do something about this problem - by sacking the most prominent Gachagua propagandist working at the company.
However, there was outcry in the Mountain, with people demanding the propagandist be returned to work, else...
The Gachagua propagandist sacking was soon reversed.
The media company had no choice - a person not familiar with what has been going on in Central Kenya for the past 10 years wouldn't understand how that can happen.
Going forward:
To neutralise Gachagua-praise in these TV & Radio stations, without provoking viewers/listeners to 'take the law into their hands' & attacking the companies, will require the following strategy:
Don't sack anyone.
But hire extra producers & presenters who understand who Gachagua really is & are willing to do their part to save the community and the country.
If a presenter, who is a Gachagua propagandist, works at a certain prime time slot, say from Monday to Friday, reduce it to Monday to Wednesday.
Then on Thursday & Friday, let the show be done by the Deprogrammer.
The Deprogrammer will start by showing video clips of Gachagua speaking in vernacular - that most people who consider him a hero have never seen.
(I have personally posted several of these videos, and something very interesting is that, when mouthy Gachagua supporters see them, they shut up.
Out of the thousands of people who have viewed them & understand the language, only 1 has ever replied.
I suppose others go underground due to shame & embarrassment after seeing who Gachagua really is)
As days go by & the public start anxiously waiting for the next episode by the Deprogrammer, he/she would introduce the matter of what Gachagua was doing while a student at UoN & while he was a powerful D.O.
In the matter of UoN: There is a person who has publicly stated that he was year-mates with Gachagua (and I think in same faculty).
This person was arrested for 'sedition' while a student at UoN & jailed.
He publicly fingered Gachagua as the person who snitched him to the Special Branch - sometime in late 1980s.
The Deprogrammer would invite this person to the studio, so viewers/listeners can know the kind of person Rigathi was in his youth - and he never changed, as would be proved by inviting his surviving victims while he worked as D.O., to tell the public what he did to them.
NB: This is a very large topic, that includes related sub-topics: (a) part 2 of the Deprogramming (social media); (b) The 3 remaining Moles in Real Opposition; (c) What steps Real Opposition should take, after Sifuna-Gachagua-Owino deal.
To be continued at a later date...

Let Rex and Ojwang rest in peace. You've exploited their names for political mileage long enough. Their deaths shouldn't be reduced to political talking points. Show some respect for their families!
It’s actually the other way round Mr. President. There is a reason the right to life and the fundamental freedoms come first in the Bill of Rights. More than anything else we want to live in a free and democratic country because in the dark of the grave where you put Rex Maasai and Albert Ojwang, you can’t see shiny things.
Your obsession with H.E William Ruto is on another level! Must you make a political statement about Wantam even when wishing your wife a happy birthday? TUTAM is not negotiable, it is a must, learn to live with it. Happy birthday Pastor!
Happy birthday, my gal! It’s yet another year filled with grace and favour.
Two years ago, on a day like today, we celebrated your birthday in shock, having been humiliated and disgraced by a man we had sacrificed everything to make king.
Today, as we celebrate your birthday, we thank God that we are a very happy family. Over the past two years, we have received countless blessings from God, as well as inexplicable favour and acceptance from the people of Kenya.
As we prepare to travel back home and engage the final gear in the liberation of our country, please accept my assurance that, on a day like today next year, I will throw you the biggest birthday celebration bash ever at the most coveted address in the country.
In our 37 years of marriage, I have made you many promises and kept most of them. This is one promise I SHALL honour and MUST honour.
Masha Allah. The professional Somali women, should read this brilliant story of an inspiring woman, whose choice of marriage is a lesson to all women especially the professional class. I would love to read it. Abdinoor, thumbs up for documenting this great story 🙏
Finally! Tomorrow is the day!
Lighter duties will be discussed and unveiled at Fiesta farm Karen, 4.30pm to 6.30pm. This will not be your traditional book launch. Several activities and debates loading. Super MC @HH_motivation will be the pilot of the evening!!
