Willingly accepting to import Ebola into your country has got to be most treasonous act ever done to a people by their leader in any country. This greed is too much.

As a student of Sociology who has spent his time studying human behavior. DP Ruto presidency which I hope never happens will be Lethal than Moi's. You should pay attention on how he responds to criticism, how he acts when angry, how he lies in plain sight etc. Itakuwa mazishi.

The British government introduced visa requirements for Kenyan nationals on March 7, 1996. Do you know what the main reason was? After the fall of Somalia’s government, President Daniel Arap Moi’s regime started selling Kenyan passports to Somalis. They would use our then well-respected passports to travel and file bogus asylum claims. Today, Mr Ruto is selling our passports to warlords. Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF)’s Algoney Hamdan Daglo Musa is facing US sanctions and, shockingly, is documented as holding a Kenyan passport (AK1586127). He is traveling with a Kenyan passport to facilitate his international movements, buy arms, and evade existing sanctions. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and their allied militias have been accused of committing genocide and ethnic cleansing against non-Arab communities through mass killings, summary executions, and widespread sexual violence including gang rape and sexual slavery. Their documented atrocities also include torture, enforced disappearances, the recruitment of child soldiers, and the deliberate targeting of people with disabilities. Furthermore, the group has been implicated in war crimes such as the indiscriminate shelling of residential areas, attacks on hospitals and humanitarian workers, the looting of aid, and the use of starvation as a weapon of war during prolonged sieges. Our passports, our foreign policy, and our national pride are being sold to the highest bidder. Ruto’s criminal regime is a total disgrace to Kenya! This isn’t just corruption; it’s betrayal. Our nation’s most sacred document once respected worldwide is now a tool for indicted criminals accused of mass killings. Mr Ruto is auctioning our passports for personal gain. When I become president, those who sold our passports to warlords will be held accountable! That day is coming.

Because no action was taken against Eliud Langat who procured the murder of Albert Omondi Ojwang, the precedent was automatically set.

It is sad reading every day about grand heists costing tax payers billions of shillings yet critical needs in education for our young children,healthcare for the vulnerable and creation of jobs for our young people continue being neglected. The story of the massive theft in the Government bloggers much touted Talanta stadium is the latest.We agree Ruto’s government is irredeemably corrupt and must be kicked out.But as we do so ,we MUST have serious introspection on which Team we are to replace him with to avoid recycling a set of thugs with another unless we are saying the whole of Kenya is made up of thugs which surely can’t be. It’s time to set aside emotions and excitable catch phrases and interrogate all those seeking positions to avoid repeating egregious mistakes.Time to use our heads properly.

ODM has put a knife to the rope that held it together with the glorious principles of its past. Now it is truly a dead, a third rate vassal party, incapable of taking or being trusted with power. RIP.
The pro-government wing of ODM has succeeded in removing Edwin Sifuna as the ODM Secretary General. They have replaced him with Catherine Omanyo. Shock on them, Sifuna was prepared for it even before Raila died. From today, Sisi Ndio Sifuna. Sisi ndio Jeshi la Baba.

What you are effectively telling Kenyans is that corruption is inevitable and therefore acceptable. That if someone is stealing from their workplace, they should continue. That police officers should keep demanding bribes. That politicians should keep buying votes. I don’t think that in your own private businesses, you would not accept employees stealing from you on the basis that “everyone does it.” The same principle applies to a country. Kenyans are not naïve. We understand history. But we also understand that without moral clarity and accountability, corruption does not just persist, it grows bigger. It used to be 10% per contract, it grew to 20% now I’m sure it’s at 50%, meaning project costs keep rising and who suffers? The citizens.
Jomo declared war on corruption. Moi declared war on corruption Kibaki declared war on corruption Uhuru declared war on corruption All left Kenya more developed and more corrupt than they found it. Ruto is not the messiah. I am not going to suffer fools.

Lastly my fellow Kenyans, anything owned by government is owned by you. You are government. You pay for all public assests: national parks, sites of national heritage, public schools, public hospitals, the 3 parks in CBD, GK vehicles and army/police uniforms, even raparian land.
