by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party communication boss Philip Etale has fired his response to Deputy President Dr William Ruto following his demand for an apology from ODM party leader Raila Odinga and his party.

Ruto on Saturday demanded an apology following chaos which occurred during the just concluded Kibra parliamentary by-election.

The DP accused ODM of being behind the violence witnessed on Thursday and asked Raila to come out and apologise to all those who were attacked.

“As Kenyans we demand that Tinga/his party unconditionally, unequivocally and publicly renounce the culture of violence, chaos, terror and gangsterism their signature modus operandi as witnessed in Kibra and unreservedly apologise to victims past and present for their hurt and loss,” tweeted the DP.

On Sunday, Ruto said that President Uhuru Kenyatta with him had decided that post election violence that had become synonymous with elections since 1992 MUST come to an END and it did, urging Raila to “bring Odm’s primitive & retrogresive signature culture of violence/ chaos to an END& disband baba’s militia to show their commitment to handshake”.

“President Kenyatta & I decided that PEV that had become synonymous with elections since 1992 MUST come to an END and it did.Tinga MUST bring Odm’s primitive & retrogresive signature culture of violence/ chaos to an END& disband baba’s militia to show their commitment to handshake,” Ruto tweeted.

While responding to Ruto’s demand on Sunday, Etale reminded the DP of the 2007 post election violence.

The ODM director of communications said that the families and relatives of the victims of the KIAMBAA Tragedy in Eldoret are still waiting for a public apology from Ruto.

He notes that the hearts of the victims will only relax after receiving a public apology from Ruto.

“DP Ruto, on demanding for APOLOGY from the @TheODMparty Leadership, I want to remind you that the families and relatives of the victims of the KIAMBAA Tragedy in Eldoret are still waiting for a public apology from you. Their hearts will only relax after receiving that APOLOGY,” tweeted Etale.

Ruto’s apology demand from Raila goes wrong

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Deputy President Dr William Ruto’s demand for an apology from ODM party leader Raila Odinga seems to have gone wrong.

A section of leaders from Central Kenya have blasted the DP after he demanded for an apology from Raila , following chaos which occurred during the just concluded Kibra parliamentary by-election.

Taking to social media on Saturday, the DP accused ODM of being behind the violence witnessed on Thursday and asked Raila to come out and apologise to all those who were attacked.

“As Kenyans we demand that Tinga/his party unconditionally, unequivocally and publicly renounce the culture of violence, chaos, terror and gangsterism their signature modus operandi as witnessed in Kibra and unreservedly apologise to victims past and present for their hurt and loss,” Ruto tweeted.

The sentiments, however, did not go well with some leaders from Central Kenya who hit back at the DP saying he is the one who should apologise.

Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu revisited the 2007 post-election violence in the Rift Valley, saying Ruto should ask for forgiveness over the killing and displacement of people which occurred in his political backyard. 

“You most probably want to apologise for PEV in Rift Valley in 2007, before you point fingers at others, Sir,” he posted on facebook.

On his part, former Mukurwe-ini MP Kabando Wa Kabando said Ruto should apologise to President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila for allegedly insulting them. 

“Mr Deputy President, Sir: apologize unreservedly for your rants, insults, arrogance, divisiveness, disdain for your boss our President and fear of Agwambo (Raila). Vice Presidents (VPs) Jaramogi, Murumbi, Moi, Kibaki, Karanja, Saitoti, Mudavadi, Wamalwa, Awori, Kalonzo never stooped this low. Terrible. Sad,”Kabando said.

Ruto cancels Murang’a tour amid speculations

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Deputy President William Ruto has reportedly cancelled a planned trip to Murang’a today (Sunday).

According to reports by Sunday Nation, the DP cancelled the trip to avoid a clash of itinerary with the President’s tour.

The two leaders were today expected to attend separate events within the same county.

Earlier Saturday, some of his handlers had indicated that he would visit the region but he would skip the church service-cum fundraiser he was scheduled to attend in Kandara and join President Uhuru Kenyatta at ACK Kenol.

However, according to the local daily, Ruto’s spokesman David Mugonyi later said that the DP had decided to shelve the visit altogether.

“The answer as to whether the Deputy President will be visiting Murang’a is ‘no’, nothing more,” Mr Mugonyi said curtly when contacted.

Another close aide of the DP said that he had not been aware that the President would be touring the area around the time he was scheduled to attend the fundraiser.

“We would not want to be seen as subjecting the two to supremacy contests of sorts,” he said.

Sunday Nation reports that Ruto’s change of plan was informed by a policy he adopted not to appear to antagonise the President in his backyard, a constituency upon which he hopes to ride to State House in the next General Election.

The DP is betting big on the central Kenya support to boost his presidential bid and has attended dozens of functions there since 2013.

Reports of the parallel visits elicited mixed reactions about the working relationship of the country’s top leadership at a time when speculation is rife that the marriage is on the rocks.

Uproar as heavily pregnant Ruto ally wishes for Raila’s death, calls him ‘shetani'(watch video)

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Just a few months ago, Garissa women representative Hon Anab Subow Gure caused a stir on the internet when she vowed to name her unborn child after Deputy President Dr William Ruto.

The daring heavily pregnant lawmaker has once again stirred up the internet after a video of her hurling insults at ODM party leader Raila Odinga and his allies started doing rounds on social media.

In the video, Hon Subow starts by attacking Dagoreti North MP Simba Arati following the recent incident in Kibra where he allegedly meted violence on Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa.

Subow in the video says Simba Arati is satan.

“Simba Arati yeye ni shetani,” the MP is heard saying.

She then turns her focus on Suna East MP Hon Junet Mohamed, saying that he is a somali who has adopted Luo blood and culture.

She says Junet knows very well that it is against the somali culture for a man to assault a woman, an incident she says Junet has entertained, calling him ‘shetani’ as well.

The women rep then turns her focus on Raila, hurling all kind of insults at him.

“Kuna mzee anaitwa baba, sijui yeye ni baba ya nani. Mzee mzima na hata hajatairi. Tunataka 2022 aende Bondo, atairishwe, azeeke Bondo na akufie huko. Shetani yeye,” she is heard saying.

This has triggered reactions on social media, with a section of Kenyans condemning the MP’s utterances.

Didmus Barasa kicks off recruitment of 500 goons to join his team ahead of 2022

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Kimilili constituency Member of Parliament Didmus Barasa has invited applications for recruitment of 500 persons to join team ahead of 2022 political battle.

The pro-Ruto MP says that the recruitment bases on Directorate of Criminal Investigations’ silence over the violence meted against him by Dagoreti North MP Simba Arati on Thursday during Kibra constituency mini polls.

During the recruitment, the lawmaker says persons with certificate of good conduct will be disqualified and that Training commences immediately.

He further notes that an attractive commission and retainer will be offered to successful applicants.

“Its on this basis that I invite applications for recruitment of 500 persons to join my team,those with certificate of good conduct will be disqualified. Training commences imediately. An attractive commission and retainer will be offered to successful applicants,” reads Barasa’s post.

On Saturday, Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria urged Kenyans to build their “own goons battalions ahead of 2022” if violence witnessed in Kibra during the just concluded mini polls is anything to go by.

Kuria who took to social media to condemn the violence meted upon some Jubilee party politicians during the Thursday by elections expressed is shock in how Kenyans are making fun of the incidents.

While noting that he was not supporting Jubilee candidate McDonald Mariga in the Kibra parliamentary race,Kuria said that Kenyans should give everyone a chance to campaign freely anywhere.

He noted that the handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM party leader Raila Odinga was meant to resolve issues such as electoral violence.

He has further noted that the incident in which Simba Arati ordered goons to beat Kimilili MP Didimus Baraza infront of cameras is despicable.

According to the controversial MP, “Since Fred Matiangi and the security system has said nothing about this, I presume it’s fair game and we should all depend on goons not on the police”.

He says the fact that the incidents happened in the handshake bedroom speaks volumes about the “Building Batallions Initiative”, a term he has used to mock the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).

He finishes his post by urging Kenyans to build their own goons battalions ahead of 2022 political period.

“I am still in shock that Kenyans are making fun of the violence meted upon Boni Khalwale and Didimus Baraza in Kibra. It is public knowledge that I was NOT supporting McDonald Mariga but we should give everyone a chance to campaign freely anywhere. The handshake was meant to resolve issues such as electoral violence. Simba Arati ordering goons to beat Didimus Baraza infront of cameras is despicable. Since Fred Matiangi and the security system has said nothing about this, I presume it’s fair game and we should all depend on goons not on the police. That this happened in the handshake bedroom speaks volumes about the Building Batallions Initiative. Let’s all build our own goons battalions ahead of 2022,” reads Moses Kuria’s post.

Herman Manyora cautions Atwoli against cursing people, asks him to forgive Ruto

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Political analyst Herman Manyora has questioned Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli over his prophecies, all of whom he believes have come to pass.

The latest was about Imran Okoth’s win in the Kibra poll, which he made about a fortnight ago, during an interview on Citizen TV’s JKL Show.

In the prediction, he said that Imran, of the ODM party, will have won by 10 am, beating among others, McDonald Mariga of the Jubilee Party.

Manyora now says that this should serve as a warning to Deputy President William Ruto, considering that Atwoli has since prophesied that he will never be president.

This comes at a time when the DP is warming up for the 2022 general elections, and Manyora is of the view that he should bail himself out.

Speaking on Saturday, he pointed out that given that all of his other prophesies have materialized, including the President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga truce, the DP should consider having the prophecy on his bid undone.

“For William Samoei Ruto, Atwoli says you will never be President. Look for him ameze hiyo mate (so that he can swallow that saliva),” he advised, on his “Take It or Leave It” political analysis you tube channel.

He also cautioned the trade unionist against going around cursing people, stressing on the need for him to be very careful with what he says to avoid doing bad to others.

“This Atwoli and his prophesies; he talked of the handshake and it came. Atwoli with your prophesies and curses be careful. You said Echesa (former Sports Cabinet Secretary Rashid Echesa) will be sacked and he was sacked. Kwani wewe Atwoli uko namna gani (how were you made?),” he added.

Atwoli has also said that the DP will not only not be the president, but will not even be in the presidential ballot, and has also claimed that there will be a referendum before 2022.

According to him, President Uhuru Kenyatta will stay in power post-2022.

Speculations arise as Uhuru, Ruto plan separate tours in Murang’a on same day

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Speculations of a rift between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto are set to be fueled further as the two leaders plan to make separate tours within same county on a similar day.

According to reports by Daily Nation, the two are expected in different churches in Muranga County on Sunday.

Muranga Governor Mwangi wa Iria, Senator Irungu Kang’ata and ACK Mt Kenya South Diocese Bishop Julius Karanu have confirmed to have received the official communication from State House while Kandara MP Alice Wahome and Dennis Itumbi have separately confirmed that DP Ruto will worship in Kandara.

The President will be at ACK church in Kenol, Maragua constituency, on the proposed Kenol-Nyeri-Sagana- Marwa dual-carriage highway while DP Ruto will attend a fundraiser in neighbouring Kandara constituency.

Senator Kang’ata told the local daily that the President personally communicated with him on Wednesday confirming the visit.

“We talked with the President on phone and he has reassured me that he will be in Murang’a. I invited the President earlier this year while we were in State House with Bishop Karanu. We had gone there to receive a school bus for Mukangu Secondary School,” he said.

Governor wa Iria added: “I have received the official communication from State House that the Head of State will be in Murang’a on Sunday although briefly in order to attend to other matters,” he said.

Bishop Karanu said they are eagerly awaiting the President’s visit.

“We are elated to host the President. He will be worshipping with us on Sunday and I have official confirmation,” the bishop said.
Maragua MP Mary Waithira, a Ruto supporter, said she would attend the President’s event as he will be visiting her constituency.

“It’s true that both leaders will be in Murang’a, but I will be hosting the President and so I won’t make it to Kandara,” she said.

Asked why the leaders invited the President and his deputy on the same day, the MP said: “The President and the Deputy President were invited separately and without knowledge aforethought.”

Itumbi said DP Ruto will be in Kirinyaga and Murang’a counties for fundraisers.

“The Deputy President will be in Gichugu for a fundraiser and in the afternoon he will be visiting Kandara for another event,” Mr Itumbi said.
State House Spokesperson Kanze Dena and Mr David Mugonyi, the director of communications in the DP’s office, avoided the question on whether the duo will be in Murang’a.

Farmers be warned! locusts could invade Kenya

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

The UN has said that if an Ethiopian locust infestation is not brought under control then the crop-devouring insect could “invade” neighbouring countries.

The Ethiopian government has called for “immediate action” to deal with the problem affecting four of the country’s nine states, a UN statement said.

In northern Amhara state some farmers have lost “nearly 100%” of their crop of the staple grain, teff, it added.

Efforts to control the infestation have so far not been effective.

The authorities’ work has also been affected by “ongoing insecurity” in some areas of the country, according to the UN’s Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO).

“We need to act fast and mobilise the required resources urgently to scale up control and preventive measures,” FAO Ethiopia representative Fatouma Seid said.

Last week, the government said it had sent planes to the affected areas to try to deal with the problem from the air.

Overall, the desert locusts have devoured crops and pasture across a swathe of land covering parts of the Tigray, Amhara, Oromia and Somali regional states.

The FAO estimated that the insects were eating 1.8 million tonnes of vegetation a day across 350 sq km (135 sq miles) of the country.

If additional control measures fail then the locusts “could continue moving within Ethiopia and invade” north-eastern Kenya, parts of Eritrea, and Sudan’s southern coast, the FAO said.

The locusts are thought to have spread from Yemen three months ago.

Angry Ruto locks team out of his Karen home after losing Ksh 1.2B in Kibra

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Deputy president Dr William Ruto has refused to meet the tanga tanga team that was in charge of Kibra by election campaigns for Jubilee candidate McDonald Mariga.

This is after Mariga failed to clinch the Kibra parliamentary seat in the just concluded by elections.

The DP got furious when the campaign team failed to deliver even after spending Ksh 1.2 billion in the campaigns.

The tanga tanga campaign team in Kibra comprised former Kakamega senator Boni Khalwale, National Assembly chief whip Benjamin Washiali, Lang’ata MP Nixon Korir, Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa, Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichungwa, Sirisia MP John Walukhe and Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi.

According to Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter, the DP is furious after Jubilee party Kibra candidate McDonald Mariga was defeated in the by-election held on Thursday.

Mariga finished second with 11,230 votes behind ODM’s candidate Imran Okoth who was declared MP elect after registering 24,636 votes.

In a tweet on Friday, Keter claimed Tanga Tanga legislators told him Ruto was angry with them because he spent Sh1.2 billion to campaign for Mariga in a bid to upset ODM party leader Raila Odinga in his perceived ‘bedroom’.

“I met my colleagues MPs who are in the tangatanga squad, they were mourning and they said their boss was very mad with them for failing to deliver in Kibra even after using Sh1.2B for the by-election, which is equivalent to Sh109,000 per vote for the 11,000 votes,” reads the tweet.

Kakamega man digs grave, threatens to bury his alive father

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

A 46-year-old man from Muraka Village in Shinyalu, Kakamega County has left his neighbours shocked after he dug a grave, and threatened to bury his father, who is still alive.

Chrispinus Makotsi accused his parent of cursing him, and bringing bad luck to his life.

Makotsi claims his dad, Gerald Okang’a, is responsible for the poverty he is living in and the domestic woes that led to his wife’s take-off two years ago.

On Thursday, November 7, Makotsi went looking for his father in his house, and when he failed to find him, he went to the cowshed, slaughtered one of his dad’s cows and buried it in the grave he had dug for the elderly man.

According to K24 Digital , Okang’a went into hiding after suspecting that his son, a father of one, was planning to kill him.

“When I saw the grave early Thursday, I knew he [Makotsi] was up to no good. This is the second time he is digging a grave with plans to bury me in it. In both instances, his bid failed, resulting in him slaughtering cows and burying the animals in the pits,” Okang’a was quoted.

Denying allegations that he cursed Makotsi, Okang’a said he has always been fair to all his children.

“Recently, I subdivided my parcel of land to all of them in equal sizes. I am yet to know why Makotsi harbours a lot of bitterness towards me,” said Okang’a.

Angered by Makotsi’s actions, neighbours, led by Shinyalu Nyumba Kumi chairperson, Muhanji Alusa, asked the 46-year-old to exhume the cow from the grave to pave way for cleansing rituals.

Moses Kuria Reveals Mariga’s Next Winning Spot After Kibra Loss

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria has mocked Jubilee candidate in Kibra by elections McDonald Mariga after loosing the hotly contested race to ODM’s Bernard Otieno Okoth (Imran).

While congratulating Imran moments after Mariga conceded defeat, Moses Kuria consoled Mariga, telling him that he still had some hope during Sunday’s Mashemeji Derby.

“Congratulations @ImranOkoth for outright victory for you, my friend Ken Okoth and the people of Kibra. Pole sana @MarigaOfficial there is still hope on Sunday during the #MashemejiDerby ,” Moses Kuria tweeted.

Mariga called ODM’s Imran Okoth to concede defeat in the Kibra by-election.

A video of Mariga released late Thursday evening showed the Jubilee candidate making the phone call to Okoth.

“Hallo boss, ni Mariga. Nimepiga nikuambie congratulations. Race imekuwa poa, hatukupigana mahali popote tulikuwa pamoja. Niko ready hata kwa lunch…vile utataka, na pia support yoyote utataka kutoka kwangu, niko ready,” Mariga said.

He continued: “After elections tutarudi ile life yetu ya mabeshte na kila kitu…Kabisa Sir.”

Okoth is heard acknowledging the congratulatory message and thanking Mariga for the phone call.

At the time the phone call was made, Okoth had garnered just about 4,051 votes against Mariga’s 1602 from 32 of the 183 polling stations.
