It doesn't take a genius to know that those four commissioners were emissaries or sent to iebc with a mission from their masters. Mission aborted. Truth be told.
Such a useless statement from the President
@WilliamsRuto
. Smacks of the same arrogance and hubris that begot the demonstrations. No sense of occasion or opportunity.

The First Lady and Second Lady of the Republic of Kenya have over 100 employees each. I can't stop shaking my head at this extravagance in the public service. And yet someone still wants us to pay more taxes! Insane.
But why is the President always defending or marketing his achievements to the public at every national day event? Shouldn't these things be self evident?
GenZs rise up against unfair taxation, oppression, and bad governance and force the government to retreat and concede. Then Raila shows up to take the spoils, comfort the oppressor and feast on the high table. The cycle of betrayal in Kenyas liberation struggles being replayed.
5 things that boggle my mind:
1. What happened to the NYS case?
2. When is the Jowi murder case hearing?
3. How did that saga of Wajir governor end?
4. Is Samburu governor Lenolkulal still barred from office?
5. What happened to the Wash Wash guys who tried to impersonate Uhuru?
Raila Odinga doesn't want people to oppose what they haven't read but he is busy campaigning for and supporting what he knows and the people dont know. Which new opium is this, Karl Marx?
So we have a Deputy President whose Job Description currently is to campaign for 2022 twenty-four-seven and the public sustains him. How did we normalise this abnormality?
In case you missed it: the president just gifted MCAs with Sh4.5bllion of our money to pass the BBI bill. Not a loan. Free. After the Assemblies (including Parliament) pass the Bill, it will come to you to vote for or against. Whatever you make of that information is your choice.
Catholics should just surrender to us Bishop Antony Muheria we make him President. The nation needs hope, restoration and a leader that can dignify us.
Baba's progamme today:
8am - 1.00pm: in Government
1.00 - 2pm: health break
2pm - 5pm: in Opposition
5pm - 6pm: Africa Union
Note: This program may change at short notice depending on the political weather forecast from the Sugoi Meteorological Station.
Apply with modifications
Why would the President retreat to his ethnic cocoon instead of addressing the nation as Head of State? This is a truly bad precedent.
@StateHouseKenya
Now we know clearly that Azimio wants to win the August elections to change the constitution. This straight from the President's Labour Day speech at Nyayo. The lines are drawn.
Desperation and dishonesty in our politics has hit dizzying levels. Imagine Raila today said Weta sold Kenya's embassy in Tokyo while Madvd bought cemetery land at an exorbitant price and took Goldenberg money so both should be sent to Kamiti. Who were his partners in Cord,Nasa?
If you take
@skmusyoka
out of the picture it is easier for
@WilliamsRuto
to win the Kamba vote over
@RailaOdinga
, even with the three governors on his side. If he doesn't run, whichever side Kalonzo aligns himself takes Ukambani. Raila cant win 2022 without Kalonzo but Ruto can.
This election will teach some people a lesson. Especially the haughty, arrogant ones. Come, Wednesday, some will speak in tongues, others will be scattered.
DP
@rigathi
has said that Governors should be left to steal uninterrupted and DCI should sit in their Headquarters office and wait for crime reports. And they clapped.
Let me be very clear: Baba
@RailaOdinga
's decision to boycott or abscond from the Presidential debate is selfish, inappropriate, ill- advised, cowardly and costly to his own bid, profile and reputation. No reason, excuse or scapegoat is justifiable. Rescind that decision pronto.
I love
@RailaOdinga
but I loathe abuse of State power, misuse of state machinery and public resources to tilt our elections. It is an assault on our fledgling democracy that Raila has always stood against. It's not right merely because it favours me. If it is wrong, It is wrong!
@HonAdenDuale
As a snr member of the KK choir and a public officer given the privilege of a CS, where do you get the audacity to attack your boss? Or which protocol permits you to attack the DP as a Cabinet Secretary? Isn't this gross insurbordation and juvenile indiscipline in government?
Explanations by Kinyua & Co on the meeting with Chebukati don't add up. How had IEBC delayed to announce the results when it was within its constitional timeline of 7 days? Why would they interfere with the work of an independent commission? Will they also push SCoK to hurry up?

Parliament is obligated to give reasons or justification for rejecting or ignoring the contributions from public participation. Public participation should not just be illusory, cosmetic, and a mere formality or public relations exercise. ~ Court of Appeal.
Thank you, judges.
So many drug peddlars, con artists and Wash Wash crooks are splashing their way into Parliament and County Assemblies. Our democracy and governance institutions are at great risk of being taken over unless something is done urgently.
But what's wrong with
@MusaliaMudavadi
? He wants to be President by doing nothing about it? Without the hard work? Aaaah... Happy New Year Ladies and Gentlemen. May 2022 be fulfilling.
Those people calling for a complete lockdown today, what is your solution to those in the informal sector who live hand to mouth and dont depend on a salary or monthly wage? What/how will they eat, meet their basic needs?
Does the President of the Republic of Kenya know how angry citizens are with that Sh 2millon grant to MCAs? That alone has increased the resistance to BBI. There will be enthusiastic supporters but the timing of the move is inappropriate and whole thing offensive to public policy
My ranking of presidential aspirants' ability to fight corruption if elected President:
High: Muturi, Mukhisa, Kibwana.
Middle: Mudavadi, Kalonzo, Oparanya, Mutua
Low: Raila, Wanjigi, Wetangula
Very Low: Ruto, Gideon, Joho.
Retweet if you agree.
THREAD: I have said it before: If Ruto turns into a dictator, it will be because Raila took us there. Leadership is reciprocal and courteous sio madharau ndogo ndogo. You lose an election and refuse to accept or try to usurp power from the winner. We must check govt and hold it
I am looking for a presidential candidate who is going to simply say "I am going to implement the law without fear or favour, and ensure fiscal discipline and efficient service delivery by government." Just that. Not false promises of prosperity. Hizo zingine tutajisort.
I still cant reconcile myself to the fact that the whole Judiciary of the Republic of Kenya has been allocated only Sh13 billion and the Nairobi Metropolitan Services Sh28 billion. Mambo ya Kenya inahitaji maombi, ama namna Doktari?
What will happen to all those people who were promised this and that by Azimio to step down in those consensus meetings? Ngilu, Mbadi, PK na kadhalika? Machozi tupu.
Let us be clear: DP
@WilliamsRuto
is continuing to defraud the public by earning money for services not rendered. It is nothing less. We cant normalise such dishonesty in leadership. It perpetuates the bad legacy that in Africa public servants dont resign.
#WanjikuBurden
The statement and arguments by the 4 commissioners is vacuous. So they were sitting there, not minding the results (which were being tallied by their technical staff by own admission), but when the chairman presents them with the same they say they want to discuss? How Spurious!
We elected MCAs, MPs, Women Reps, Senators, Governors and President to represent us and mind our welfare at all levels. Now we are being told
@EugeneLWamalwa
and
@GovWOparanya
are Luhya/Western representatives at the table to negotiate for development. Which system is that again?
Why can't Mukhisa Kituyi vie to be the next President of Kenya? I would vote for him with my eyes closed. He is a cut above most of the prospective aspirants.
By the way the Kemsa covid millionaires are still at large. No one charged or even arrested. They are still entertaining MPs with stories of miracles and other blessings. Meanwhile we are locked up and miserable as covid wreaks havoc and government watches. Have a thoughftul day!
Have been restraining myself but let me let this off my chest: Western (as in Luhya nation) generally got hooves of the Cabinet. The steak was shared by Mt Kenya and R/Valley. But don't we love positions? Someone famously said hata mkia ni nyama.

CJ Maraga
@dkmaraga
has finally bitten the (last) bullet and in compliance with the Constitution advised President Uhuru Kenyatta
@StateHouseKenya
to dissolve Parliament for failing to meet the constitutional threshold. I salute the CJ for the courage to make history again.
I said it before. If Kalonzo goes into a coalition with Azimio, the race will be at equillibrium. If he joins, Kenya Kwanza, game shot. Let the push and pull continue.

#BBIFinalVerdict
, According to CJ Martha Koome, 44 out of 47 counties approved the BBI Bill and so they should have their way. It matters less how the exercise was conducted. Absurd.
4. Next president will hail from western Kenya.
5. Raila Odinga will not contest for Presidency
6. PK will inherit UK's mantle in Mt Kenya region, become DP
7. Next CJ will be from a minority community
8. Martha Karua will be in next govnment
9. Only 3 govnas will be re-elected
My honest and genuine advice to President Uhuru
@StateHouseKenya
1. Ditch that BBI constitutional amendments move. It's an uphill task and unnecessary. 2. Implement administrative proposals you can take away from it for your legacy 3. Focus on stabilising economy before exit 2022
Why does Baba
@RailaOdinga
think or believe he is the only one who can take or bring maendeleo to Nyanza? What was he doing hobnobbing with and taking President Uhuru Kenyatta to Nyanza the last 4 years? If other leaders meeting Uhuru are malaya, what was he? Asking for coconuts
Forcing
@HonTimWanyonyi
to step down/deputise Igathe for Azimio Nbi Govrnor ticket is an insult.
Why now? Tim has not only performed impeccably and is ahead but ticks many boxes: raising visibility of people with disability nationally and the Luhya community in Azimio coalition🤷♂️
I am urging the people of Kirinyaga county, Please elect
@MarthaKarua
as your governor in 2022. She is competent, deserves it and will make a difference.
#KirinyagaIsKarua
*That's my first unqualified endorsement for the 2022 General Election.
There is a problem. If Governors charged with criminal offences are barred from office, how does the President nominate or appoint to Cabinet Secretary people who are facing criminal charges like Linturi, Jumwa? OR is Chapter 6 going to be applied selectively? Over to you you MPs
15 TangaTanga-leaning western MPs observing Covid -19 social distancing could not meet in a tent at Hon Injendi Malulu's home yesterday but 189 Jubilee MPs observing same social distancing protocols will meet tomorrow at the KICC in Nairobi. Good night.
The Supreme Court of Kenia will sort our this thing clinically. Careers of some IEBC employees and politicians will be on the chopping board. And opinion leaders and analysts too.
All the Presidential candidates have the real results from Form 34A from their separate tallying. The losers should demonstrate leadership by conceding to move the country forward from this agonising legal formality of tallying at Bomas by
@IEBCKenya
or trying to overturn them.
