Humble, friendly, energetic, visionary and hardworking legislator has rested. Very Shocking news. My condolences to his family, the people of Matungu Constituency and Kenyans at large. Rest In Peace Bro.
Ruto Must Go chants at the Kenya V Netherlands U20 World Rugby Trophy match in Scotland. And looks like it's turned into a mini rally perhaps a distraction from what is going on in the pitch.
People attacking
@johnallannamu
because of Ford Foundation funding. They have no idea that the same foundation funds the Kenya Judiciary, Directorate of Public Prosecution, education and even health sectors. So all those departments have been working to destabilise Ruto Govt?
We lost a cousin in police custody on Friday/Saturday morning. The police at Likuyani Police Post tried to change the facts that he died in hospital, but the doctors stood the grounds and insisted that he was brought in already dead. They then registered his body wrongly at MTRH
What is happening in Mukuru is bizarre. They're not bodies of young people being retrieved but women only. This one will lead to something else, unrelated to Maandamano or Githurai.
Waking up to the news that my classmate was among those killed yesterday afternoon outside Parliament Buildings during
#RejectFinanceBill2024
protests. Chege was a steadfast Christian and Sunday school teacher since his days in high school. May his soul rest in peace.
Only 41 countries had recognised Saharawi. Now they're 40. This tiny enclave has been looted by Morocco and Spain. Look for a documentary called Sand Wars and see how Spain raids the shows of this region for sand.
People movement between Uganda and Kenya is so seemless and enhanced. I think both sets of citizens always feel welcome and at home both sides of the mountain.
But Kiambu county is huuuuge. From Ngoliba in Ukambani (Yatta) to that Galitos Viewpoint near Naivasha...down to some barren land mass past Mai Mahiu !
Never imagined that I'll end the day with a call to go and collect a colleague's belongings at City Mortuary. The roads have claimed another young soul. I'm totally broken. Fare thee well comrade. Incomprehensible! 💔💔

Paul Kagame is quite tall by any standards, but here he is dwarfed by Guinea's military leader Col Mamadi Doumbouya... how tall is this former French legionnaire? PIC:

I don't understand how a 30-minute visit to film studio will spur local film industry...unless they were given a 30-minute crash course on filmography ama?
For clarity, Tanzania denied KQ air cargo rights from Dar.... Kenya retaliated. Now Dar has gone ahead and denied KQ passenger rights... EAC shold be disbanded and everyone be given their shares and we move on.
I constantly think about the tens of Mradi (Embakasi) gas explosion victims who weren't able to get adequate medical attention. They're living in absolute pain and a few have subsequently died as the busy city forgot about them and moved on.
Grateful to have been discharged from the hospital after 2 wks following the

fire tragedy. Immense thanks to my incredible family, friends, and colleagues for their unwavering support. Special appreciation to the amazing medics at Metropolitan Hospital for their care!🙏
So it's Brian who went and loosened the tyres on that Silverline? Was it Brian who went and pushed the jet off runway at Wilson? Was it Brian who causes numerous delays? Tuwache kutumia kichwa kama kibuyu ya mate please.
Isn't it ironical that President Ruto wants a 100-person committee to discuss emerging issues while some of the demands by the Kenyan youth was for him to stop wastage of public funds?
I think President Ruto was lulled into false sense of security after co-opting the opposition into his govt. Actions and incidents of the last few days point to deep-rooted resentment, anger and disillusionment with his govt. The next uprising might be deadlier than the June ones
Moving to a new hood means starting to build new relationships with Mama Mboga, Car Wash, Mama Fua, watu ya supplies and so on. A whole new life all together.
Seeing those Nyashiski tweets how he let people down... blame your organisers. Nyash performed for more than an hour on Saturday evening after a rugby match at RFUEA Grounds... He was on stage on time and gave a very good performance. Poleni!
The proposed Expressway will see one of the oldest rugby clubs in Kenya
@MwambaRFC
lose their iconic and richly historic Railway Grounds, famously known as Reru, as the pitch might be acquired for a bus park. Emotional moments.
Kenyans are vile. The amount of hate these kids are getting yet they're just representing their schools at a rugby festival for international schools. They're not their on behalf of KRU but they're self-funded for this school trip. Eish.
Congratulations

The ticket will be delivered by the General Secretary of the Uganda Rugby Union, Peter Odong.

There was an attempted coup in Uganda early this week. Museveni has rounded up several military officers, pastors and prison officers suspected to be behind this coup.
Why do people who quit start guilt tripping those who don't? Ooh I was a fool, ooh I was not saving, ooh I have smooth skin. BS. Acheni Tu pombe na muende bila kuifanya ni Kama kushinda jackpot.
Once upon a time i was a drunked fool. Sober for 4 years now. Feels great! Try it you wount regret it. Kuna time i thought drinking of alcohol was so cool. My God is great, look what he has done for me.
Rwanda is a country of two-halves. The upper class really eats good with the shiny developments around Kigali and the military... While the rest are struggling to make ends meet. Spiralling cost of living pushes out many who seek a living in the north (Uganda/Kenya).
Ford Foundation also funds Joyful Women table banking initiative. We all know who's the founder of the group. It also funds Open Government Kenya

Why is everyone saying that Tall should be a CS? He he he. IOC role is far much bigger than CS in sports world. Also CSs are politicians.. wacha huyu aendelee win sports leadership.

Former Kakamega High captain and striker Mbwana Samatta is expected to join EPL side Aston Villa. The Bungoma-born footballer will be the second Kenyan to play in the most prestigious football league.(Reports).
One of the most reckless tweets by a senior leader in Kenya's nascent ruling party, UDA. Very irresponsible and likely to jeopardise any efforts by Kenya to be a mediating party.
Oliver I disagree. During the 7pm curfew the government had directed that businesses and offices close by 4pm to enable people to reach home. This time round, people are clocking in till 6 or 7pm. You've an hour to manoeuvre the Nairobi gridlock. Hard small.
Your point is both valid and invalid.
The roadblocks are unnecessary given the amount of traffic in Nairobi. There are people who work in one end of Nairobi and live in the other.
That said, I agree on watu wajipange. During the 7pm curfew, we didn't see this coz tulijipanga.
Amidst all the doom and gloom during this coronavirus crisis, we get to sign new contracts and take on new challenges. Looking forward to the new chapter. We give thanks to the Almighty.
Alhamdulillah. 🙏🙏
Took a stroll around the 'hood and the Finance Bill is all the talk from bars to kinyozi, salons and even Mama Mbogas. I heard some Mama Mbogas asking a nduthi guy how the Embakasi South MP voted... The awakening has been real. The

Eeh! Burkina Faso junta leader Ibrahim Traoré (yes
@IanECox
) has ordered that four magistrates and two prosecutors who delivered unfavorable rulings against his regime be sent to the front lines and fight against militants. Journalists and lawyers have also been conscripted.

Leur tort ? Avoir pris des décisions de justice contre des miliciens de IB.

For African current affairs enthusiasts, there's a 2011 docu on the murder of Joseph Kabila and the subsequent fall out, trials, murders and the reorganization. Very detailed. George Mirindi the getaway driver got to speak.
I think I now why some of you were pointing fingers at the Ministry on this Kenya 7s woes. You are focusing on on the tip of the iceberg while those of us in the game knew this is just a symptom of deep rooted malaise that has nothing to do with the ministry.
Local media covers a subject. You fail to read... You accidentally discover it on international media, who most times rely on local media for story tips, then come here to attack local media! Laziness!
CONFIRMED!

finals later today. But SA Olympics committee said it won't send it's team to Tokyo. So we're Africa winners!
Sometimes its interesting reading how other Africans view Kenya and it's governance and administration. Majority of Africans are in awe how efficient our civil service is, how open and approachable our police service is and how we have a functioning public administration.
There's white smoke in Nairobi as Uhuru Kenyatta announces, through an EAC statement, that the armed groups have finally agreed to a set of recommendations including a disarmament and reintegration. The next meeting to take place in Bunia and Goma in January.
Whoever gave you the brief clear forgot to talk about athletes sleeping on benches in Morocco, volleyball woes, cricket, hockey, women football and virtually all sports problem in the nation. She's good at tweeting though.
Some of the achievements the Sports Ministry has made under the leadership of

West Kenya (Kabras) produce enough power to sort out their needs and also supply Rai Paper (Panpaper) in Webuye. Their request to sell to national grid or supply local users was however turned down by gava. Butali Sugar also do have own power. Cc
@akams_
@Jasiri_MAR
@kinjeketile
This should be a painful reminder that we shouldn't rely on government support. Gava funds are good when they come through... But should NEVER be our primary source of funds for our sport. Time to return to financial independence.

Despite all the events of this afternoon, spare a thought for police officers especially first responders. Their actions saved dozens and were really helpful in early evacuation. God be with them this night.
▶️ Harambee Stars will travel to Mauritius on Monday due to unavailability of flights to Mauritius and not today.
▶️The change of itinerary means that Kenya will now play two matches instead of the planned three due to FIFA regulations on player rest days between matches.
Majority of vile comments directed at Jahmby Koikai's father were made from a point of priviledge. Co-parenting is complicated and you always doubt yourself if you are being a good parent to your child from afar. May Amb Koikai rest in peace.
