I haven’t wavered since then. I truly believe he is the one to lead Kenya to Canaan. His victory will truly break the last ceiling that is holding Kenya back. His ascendency to Presidency will be transcendental and transformative. I met William Ruto in 1992 and we have been friends since then. And we have been BFFs. I also personally know Kalonzo Musyoka, Najib Balala, Musalia Mudavadi and Late Joseph Nyaga. Between 2005 to 2009, Messrs Raila, Ruto, Kalonzo, Balala, Mudavadi and Nyaga were in the political dalliance of one form or another. In 2006, Kalonzo made me his Head of Strategy. I began working on a political agreement where the six were to rise to the Offices of President and Prime Minister in a sequential order of seniority, the Presidency being the top office.

  It is 6 PM, today. I walk into a club in Thika to grab one and two beers before MKU students turn it into an unruly place. Almost immediately, a man in his 40s or 50s or thereabouts walks in after me. He takes the next table. The music is low and slow. A few people around, mainly, the people of his age. The one whose eardrums can't withstand the rumbles of Amapiano and Afrobeats. The DJ is playing Rhumba. I order two beers, Tusker, the man orders 2 beers, Guinness. And soon, we embark on an unprovoked and silent competition to see who finishes his beer ahead of the other. Occasionally, we take breaks to talk about politics, about football and we even discuss the size of the waitresses' bums, and their cleavages. We finish our two beers almost at the same time, and orders two more, each with our favorite brand. There is no one as loyal as a beer lover to the brand of the beer that they love. We have 3 rounds, and at that time, around 7:45, two sassy, skimpily dressed minji mi

  Like any other couple, Rachel Ruto and President-elect William Ruto have their own story of how they met. Going down memory lane, Ruto, in a Churchill Interview, about 10 years ago, that’s making rounds on Facebook said he met the love of his life in a church they both attended. “She was a member of the choir like me, we were all members of the Evangelism team called the North Rift evangelism team,” he said. Ruto stated he was an evangelist at that time. “We were going on missions together in different places. She did an education course,” he added. Rachael, after her secondary education at Butere Girls’ High School, studied for a Bachelor of Education at Kenyatta University. “She was sent to Kessup Girls High School for teaching practice and I was generally close and that’s when our love story began. The rest is history,” Ruto concluded. Rachel and Ruto got married in 1991 and currently have 7 children. In 2016, Ruto was touched by the case of a girl named Nadia who was abandoned as

  Lang'ata MP-elect Felix Odiwour, alias Jalang'o, says he is open to hosting radio shows on the condition that the role does not impede him from executing his political obligations.  In a statement seen by  Calitney254.blogspot.com , Jalang'o  who quit  Kiss 100   to concentrate on his political career, added that a morning show would be ideal. "Radio is my love and if I get a morning show that ends by nine so that I can make it to Parliament on time, then why not?" he posed. " I know many MPs who still do their jobs and deliver for their constituency," the former  Papa Shirandula show  comedian added. Jalang'o, waiting to be sworn in , further told his fans that he is also open to participating in advertisements and commercial promotions as side hustles as long as clients agree to support communities in Lang'ata.  The emcee who co-hosted a morning show with Alex Mwakideu at  Milele FM  before moving to  Kiss FM , also disclosed that he intends

As a family we are hurt, The son we gave to you is back home after 30 years with nothing Only teary eyes and a limping foot This is the story of a Kenyan patriot Who has never got justice from our electoral bodies A man who was championing for this nation's ECONOMIC REVOLUTION A dream thwarted by some materialistic Kenyans Who are only fighting for their own self gains We still believe that this time he may be served justice But if it doesn't go his way We will warmly accept him back for he is OUR SON!

  Kenyans have been urged by President Uhuru Kenyatta to uphold peace during this time of transition. “Kenya will continue to be consistent in establishing the ideals of good government,” Uhuru declared in a statement following his meeting with Senator Chris Coons. The president declared his commitment to ensure that Kenya maintains its status as the continent’s shining example of democracy. President Kenyatta stated, “My greatest wish is that peace would prevail and that we may serve as an example to the continent and the rest of the globe.” Senator Coons paid Uhuru a visit at State House Nairobi on Thursday, and they spoke and had a meeting. Senator Coons, who is in charge of a congressional delegation made up of members of the US Senate and House Representatives, praised President Kenyatta for ensuring that there was peace and calm during the election. The peace that Kenya has maintained throughout this time gives us hope, said Senator Coons. Cabinet Secretaries Raychelle Omamo (For

  Kenya’s president-elect William Ruto has told public servants to keep off politics and carry out their roles as stipulated by the law.  Speaking Wednesday during his first meeting with the Kenya Kwanza Alliance elected leaders at his Karen residence in Nairobi, Dr. Ruto termed public servants’ involvement in politics as unprofessional and an abuse of office. “I am asking all public servants who have been forced to take public positions in the just-concluded General Elections to step back and be professional public servants and serve all Kenyans equally,” said Ruto. The president-elect said that under his administration, public servants will be expected to focus on their offices and leave politics to political players. “Public servants from the top town to the chiefs and their assistants; we will be expecting them to serve people equally without favouring people on the basis of their political affiliations,” he noted. “Political business will be carried out by political actors. Politi

  An autopsy report has revealed that the slain Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) staff Daniel Musyoka was strangled to death. A team of five pathologists who were deployed at Oloitokitok Sub-County Hospital Mortuary operated on his body before giving the report. Among those who witnessed the post mortem were his family members, detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), and IEBC officials.   The pathologists also carried to Nairobi some components for further forensic investigations.   Musyoka, 53, was assigned to Embakasi East Constituency as the Returning Officer in the Tuesday, August 9 elections.   However, the country was shocked after reports of his disappearance broke on August 11. Musyoka’s body would later be discovered at the Amboseli National Park on Monday, August 15. His body exhibited signs of torture and was naked at the time of discovery, according to police reports.  

  We the undersigned commissioners of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), took an oath of office to defend the constitution and the law in discharge of our duties independently. We have remained faithful to our oath of office and shall continue to do so. We collectively and unanimously make the following statement pursuant to the media briefing we held yesterday evening on August 15 2022 at the Serena Hotel Nairobi where we promised to issue a comprehensive statement with regard to the results of the August 9, 2022 presidential election declared and announced by Mr. Wafula Chebukati in his capacity as Chairperson. In the Serena media briefing, we stated that we would NOT take ownership of the results of the August 15, 2022 presidential election declared and announced by Mr Chebukati. In this regard, our reasons to decline to take ownership of the results so declared and announced by Mr. Chebukati are as follows;  1. THAT the aggregation of the percentages of the

  Raila Amolo Odinga has spent most of his adult life in politics, including eight years in prison as a pro-democracy campaigner, but despite five attempts, has never achieved his presidential ambitions. The 77-year-old, who lost his fifth bid for the presidency to Deputy President William Ruto, has long cast himself as an anti-establishment firebrand, despite belonging to one of Kenya’s top political dynasties. But his decision to strike an alliance with his arch-rival, President Uhuru Kenyatta, took the shine off his brand. The Kenyatta and Odinga families have dominated Kenyan politics since the country won independence from The British colonial in 1963. Uhuru Kenyatta’s father Jomo was Kenya's first president, while his rival Jaramogi Oginga Odinga — Raila’s father — served as vice president. Born on January 7, 1945, Odinga spent his early years in politics either in jail or in exile, fighting for democracy during the autocratic rule of president Daniel arap Moi. A member of

  NAIROBI, Kenya Aug 15 – Chaos rocked various parts of the country Monday, after the electoral commission declared Deputy President William Ruto the President-Elect after winning the August 9 election. In Kondele, Kisumu, shops were looted after mobs barricaded roads lit bonfires while blowing whistles and shouting Baba the fifth. Similar scenarios were witnesses in Nairobi, Kibera, Mathare, Kawangware, Jogoo Road, Baba Dogo among other informal settlements. Ruto was declared the winner with 7,176,141 votes representing 50.49pc defeating Raila Odinga of Azimio Coalition who managed 6,942,930 votes, representing 48.85.

Details of a nighttime meeting between the chairman of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), Wafula Chebukati, and representatives of the UDA and Azimio parties have come to light as the national presidential vote count nears its conclusion. The meeting, which lasted more than three hours, was held on August 14th, Sunday night, under the direction of the elections board chairman. All of the commissioners, party agents, and secretaries in charge of the Bomas exercise were in attendance.   The primary topic of discussion at the conference was the continued disorder and jeering at the tallying center. As the drill neared its conclusion, Chebukati advised head agents to advise his colleagues to maintain decorum and silence. Additionally, Chebukati warned the agents that if any of their members disrupt the ongoing exercise in any way, including by making noise or yelling, they will be kicked out of the tallying facility. Hours prior to the meeting, IEBC officials got i

  IEBC Vice Chairperson Juliana Cherera speaking at The Serena Hotel: "We have done the election in the most efficient matter, but some things need to be put out there. We are here because of the opaque nature of how this space has been handled. We therefore, cannot take ownership of the results that is going to be announced. We have an open door where people can go to court. We urge Kenyans to be peaceful because the rule of law is going to prevail." MIRROR In their press briefing, Juliana Cherera read a statement that "as a commission, we have done a good job but some things need to be put out there. As you can see, the four of us are here not in at the Bomas of Kenya where the presidential results are going be announced because of the opaque nature of how this phase has been handled. We therefore cannot take ownership of the results that are going to be announced. We therefore have an open door of people being allowed to go to court and because of the same we urge Ken
