Raila in his message said Oginga Odinga’s patriotic and selfless actions remain engraved in the hearts of those who knew him and in the collective memory of the nation he helped build.

He further noted that Oginga’s memory remains a permanent presence in his absence.

“26 years ago you took a journey from our beloved country never to return. Your patriotic and selfless actions remain engraved in the hearts of those who knew you and in the collective memory of the nation you helped build. Your memory remains a permanent presence in your absence,” he tweeted.

“Today, 26 years ago, the DOYEN of opposition politics in Kenya, a LEGEND, the Father of DEMOCRACY and a LUMINARY in the struggle for the second liberation RESTED. His legacy and aspirations still live on. Continue Resting in Peace Mzee Jaramogi Oginga Odinga,” ODM tweeted.

Ruto Dealt Another Blow as Uhuru Backs Raila Man For Top Seat

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Deputy President Dr William Ruto has been dealt another major blow after president Uhuru Kenyatta backed key ODM leader Raila Odinga’s pointman for a top seat.

Uhuru has backed Kakamega governor Wycliffe Oparanya to retain his position at the helm of the Council of Governors when they vote on Monday, January 20.

Reports by The Star indicate that the Head of State’s support has already been communicated to a number of governors, making it easier for Oparanya to extend his reign by another year.

This, however, is a big blow to Deputy President William Ruto and his allies who had reportedly lined up Mandera’s Ali Roba as Oparanya’s possible replacement. Roba later said he was not vying and that he will support Oparanya.

“For the record, Governor Roba is not running for any position at the CoG and will throw his support behind Oparanya. He is not aligned to any other camp,” Roba’s chief of staff, David Ohito, was quoted by The Star.

This reportedly left the DP’s camp still searching for a preferred candidate by as late as Sunday evening.

The President is believed to have thrown his weight behind the Kakamega chief when he met some governors last Tuesday in Mombasa. He is said to have been impressed by Oparanya’s tenure at the helm of CoG.

Last year, Oparanya was voted unanimously as the CoG Chairman against six contestants namely: Anne Waiguru (Kirinyaga County), Anyang’ Nyong’o (Kisumu County), Jackson Mandago (Uasin Gishu County), Salim Mvurya (Kwale County) and Josphat Nanok (Turkana).

written by Mustafa Juma

A CCTV footage showing Embakasi MP Babu Owino shoot a DJ at B Club in Nairobi’s Kilimani area has emerged.

The video shows the controversial MP pulling out his gun and directing it directly at the DJ’s neck.

The victim of the shooting is then dragged on the floor being taken outside the nightclub.

Babu Owino was on Friday morning arrested after the incident being reported at Kilimani Police station.

Babu Owino who is not a stranger to controversy shot the DJ in the wee hours of the Friday morning.

The victim is apparently in critical condition and is admitted at the Nairobi Hospital intensive care unit (ICU).

In 2018, Babu and one of his bodyguards, Fanuel were arrested for assaulting a parking attendant at Fortis Towers in Westlands, Nairobi.

Appearing before chief magistrate Francis Andayi, Babu jointly with others not before the court, are said to have assaulted David Gichagu and caused him “actual bodily harm”.

Babu was separately charged with two counts of using insulting language in a manner likely to cause a breach of the peace and create a disturbance.

He (Babu) and Fanuel were later released on a Sh20,000 bond.

Babu Owino’s Latest Raila Remark Lands Him in Deep Trouble

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has been making headlines out of controversies, some of which have been embraced by his supporters.

Just recently, the youthful MP was in trouble with Kenyans and a section of leaders after telling Kandara MP Alice Wahome to respect President Uhuru Kenyatta and AU envoy Raila Odinga failure to which she would have every part of her body shaven.

However, the latest remark made by the controversial MP on ODM leader Raila Odinga seems to have gotten Kenyans on the wrong side.

Babu Owino on Thursday evening declared that “This time Raila will be the President by ballot or bullet”.

While the former Prime Minister has said it is too early to discuss the 2022 race, politicians and pundits say he would be the right candidate to face off with Deputy President William Ruto, the likely candidate of the ruling Jubilee Party.

However, he remains the man to watch ahead of the 2022 elections, with opinion divided on whether or not he should contest the presidency.

Following his remarks, many faulted him for inciting violence advising that Raila is among the despots in Kenya that will fall.

A number preferred to stand with self declared revolutionist lawyer Miguna Miguna over Babu’s choice for president.

Here are some of the reactions on Babu Owino’s remarks.

Murkomen, Susan Kihika Targeted For Removal After Cabinet Reshuffle

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Just days after President Uhuru Kenyatta made surprise cabinet changes, the focus has now shifted to two key Deputy President William Ruto’s allies.

Senate Majority leader Kipchumba Murkomen and his Nakuru counterpart Susan Kihika are the next target after the axing of Mwangi Kiunjuri from agriculture ministry.

According to a local daily, President Kenyatta wants to take control of both houses to further assert himself and drive government agenda before he retires in 2022.

The Star on Friday reported that the President, Jubilee’s party leader is considering entering into an agreement with Gideon Moi. 

Thereafter, Uhuru will convene a parliamentary group meeting to replace Murkomen with the Baringo Senator.   

Senate whip Susan Kihika is also targeted for removal.

Sources at immigration intimated to the Star that the government is investigating the possibility that she may be holding two passports, a US and Kenyan one.

On Monday, Kihika was barred from entering the venue where President Kenyatta handed title deeds to a group of women who sang for his father.

Apart from Murkomen and Kihika, the President also wants to replace committees chairs who are not backing him.

The crackdown against Tangatanga MPs aims to vanquish Ruto’s influence in Parliament as the President seeks to take a firmer charge of his legacy projects.

Khalwale Roars After Police Cancelling Their Planned Mumias Meeting

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Former Kakamega senator Boniface Khalwale has spoken on police cancelling their planned Western leaders’ meeting in Mumias.

Police in Mumias on Wednesday canceled permits for two meetings set for this weekend planned by ANC leader Mudavadi citing security fears.

In the letter dated January 14, police advised the planners to inform their participants of the changes.

“This is to notify you that this office has canceled your permit to carry out the  exercise purportedly scheduled to take place on 18th due to security reasons,” the letter reads.

“…and comply accordingly. By this letter, be informed that any person contravening this directive will be held criminally responsible,” it read.

However, Khalwale says the move by police is diversionary and tantamount to incitement.

He says police have no powers to give or cancel a permit as they cannot take away the constitutional rights of Freedom of Assembly, Association and Speech.

Khalwale notes that panned Saturday January 18, 2020 meeting at Nabongo Sports ground is still on.

“Police attempts to cancel our Western leaders’ meeting in Mumias is diversionary n tantamount to incitement. They have NO powers to give or cancel a permit as they cannot take away the constitutional rights of Freedom of Assembly, Association & Speech 18/01/20 is on!” posted Khalwale.

They were scheduled to hold a parallel meeting on January 18 when the BBI gathering will be taking place.

They have vowed not to attend the BBI meeting at Bukhungu Stadium saying they were not involved by the organisers. 

Mudavadi said, as Western leaders, all they want is for Kenyans to shun divisive politics being hatched from BBI.

“My brother Wetangula and I have not received an invitation to the January 18 Bukhungu Meeting. Someone decided to invite us through social media,” he said.

The second phase is expected to alter the BBI proposals with an emphasis on the Executive structure, which many quarters have dismissed as weak.

written by Mustafa Juma

Senate Speaker Kenneth Lusaka has set the date for hearing of embattled Kiambu goernor Ferdinand Waititu’s impeachment case.

Lusaka has set January 21 as the hearing date for Waititu’s case.

Waititu was impeached in December last year after Kiambu County Assembly voted to impeach him with 63 ward representatives supporting the impeachment motion anchored on abuse of office and violation of the Public Finance Management Act.

Only one MCA voted against the motion. 28 mainly pro-Waititu members were absent.

The motion sponsored by Ndenderu Ward representative Solomon Kinuthia also outlined violation of Public Finance Management Act provisions as the basis for the impeachment of the embattled county chief who has been indicted in a multi-million tender fraud case.

The County Assembly also debated Waititu’s role in the ballooning debt, Kinuthia accusing the governor of incurring an unsustainable debt and pending obligations totaling Sh4 billion.

Kiunjuri however during a live presser at Serena Hotel in Nairobi on Tuesday afternoon said that he feels relieved after the sacking.

He said the President’s decision has taken him by no surprise.

Kiunjuri says he has endured lots of humiliation with only God and his immediate family knowing how it made him feel.

He noted that he had given the best in his assignment.

“The President’s decision has taken me by no surprise, I thank God, I feel relieved. I have endured lots of humiliation, only God and my family know this. I have given my best in my assignment, I leave with my head high,” he said.

He further noted that he now has free time to do other things.

Kiunjuri cited that President Kenyatta had appointed him without consulting anyone and that he does not need any consultation to relieve him of duties.

“I now have free time to do other things, I am not going anywhere. The president appointed me without consulting anyone, he has relieved me of my duties, he does not need any consultation,” he added.

He noted that he was independent and that he was ready to walk the journey. He says he is going nowhere in terms of national politics.

“I am independent; I will walk this journey. In regard to national politics, I have told you, I am going nowhere,” he added.

Tangatanga Members Cry Foul After Being Locked Out of Uhuru Meeting

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Four lawmakers allied to Deputy President Dr William Ruto are crying foul after being locked out of president Uhuru Kenyatta’s event.

Nakuru Senator Susan Kihika, Nakuru Town West MP David Gikaria, Martha Wangari (Gilgil) and Samuel Gachobe (Subukia) had Tuesday gone to attend a presidential function where President Kenyatta was expected to issue about 68,000 titles deed to settlers in Njoro, Gilgil, Rongai and Naivasha.

Kihika says that they were barred from accessing on claims that they belong to another political group.

According to her, security officers were following orders from above.

“Earlier today the area MP Hon Gikaria and I were refused entry into a PUBLIC function where the President will be issuing Title Deeds to the people of Nakuru County.We were informed that orders from above are that we cannot be allowed entry because we belong to an Unwanted Faction!” Kihika posted on her facebook account.

Kikaria gave up and left the venue in a huff having told the officers to keep the meeting to themselves.

Gikaria lamented that his time will come when he will be then one vetting who goes in.

Charity Kathambi of Njoro also boycotted the meeting despite most of the beneficiaries being her constituents.

MPs Wangari and Gachobe were later allowed to enter the function following the intervention of the Rift Valley Regional Commissioner George Natembeya to have them allowed in.

The RC sent Nakuru County Commissioner to go pick the two legislators from the gate.

This comes as the gap between the Kenyatta-allied Kieleweke faction of the Jubilee Party and Deputy President William Ruto-leaning Kieleweke teams widens.

The President was expected at the meeting around 3pm Tuesday

Ahmednasir Slams Junet For Invading Ruto’s ‘Bedroom’

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi has slammed ODM’s Junet Mohamed for invading Deputy President Dr William Ruto’s political bedroom and demanding that he leaves.

Ahmednasir says that it was wrong for Junet to invade Jubilee which he says is Ruto’s bedroom and demand for his exit.

According to the lawyer, it was is of no decency for ODM brigade to demand for Ruto’s exit so that they can sleep on the ‘bedroom’s bed’.

He has demanded for an explanation from Junet.

“Sometimes I DON’T UNDERSTAND my good friend Hon @JunetMohamed …he come to the bedroom of the DP Ruto(JUBILEE) and tells him to get out…so that they(odm) can sleep on the bed…NO common decency!!!.@WehliyeMohamed …please explain this,” he tweeted.

On Monday, Junet alongside some kieleweke MPs attacked the DP for what they claimed as his disrespect to president Uhuru Kenyatta.

They demanded for Ruto’s resignation if he was not ready to support his boss, president Kenyatta.

Junet claimed that Ruto quit Jubilee long time ago, only that he has not made it official.

He argued that DP Ruto kicked off his 2022 presidential campaigns after 2017 general polls, ignoring president’s orders of stopping early campaigns.

The Pro-Uhuru MPs drawn from Jubilee’s kieleweke faction, ODM and Wiper argued that Ruto had lost believe in his boss.

They relied on his attacks on Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) to demand for his resignation.

You Will be Held Responsible For Disobeying Court Orders, Ruto Tells Government

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Deputy President Dr William Ruto has told the government and its responsible officials that they will be held responsible for disobeying court orders.

Speaking in Olerai, Narok County, Ruto said disobedience of court orders was setting Kenya on the verge of sliding into anarchy and impunity.

This comes just a day after police officers at Kilimani police station refused to release Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria whose representatives had a court order demanding his release on a Ksh 50,000 bail.

The officers are said to have maintained that they were following orders from above.

Mr Kuria was later on Friday evening released on a Ksh 20,000 police bail.

However, that was not the first court order to have been ignored.

The resurging wave of disobedience to court orders is similar of actions by the national executive in the period leading to the 2017 general election and post the election when the government, in February 2018, deported opposition activist and lawyer Miguna Miguna despite the court having issued an order directing the State to produce him in court, “dead or alive”.

Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi, who alongside then Immigration Principal Secretary Gordon Kihalangwa, and former National Police Service Inspector General Joseph Boinnet were fined Sh200,000 each for contempt of court, later dismissed the orders accusing the court of dishing out verdicts to frustrate government.

Miguna, a self-proclaimed General of the National Resistance Movement (NRM), has since made three unsuccessful attempts to return to the country.

He was deported back to Canada in March after spending 72 hours at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, demanding to be allowed reentry on a Kenyan passport seized when he was initially deported in February.

Miguna’s third attempt to return to Kenya aborted on Tuesday, January 7 after two airlines declined to fly him to Nairobi over red alert advisories issued by the government.

This happened even after his lawyers led by Dr John Khaminwa acquired other court orders demanding the state to facilitate Miguna Miguna’s return.

May The President Take His Clothes And Shoes Too, Babu Owino Roars After Ruto Being Locked Out of Home

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Embakasi East MP Babu Owino now wants President Uhuru Kenyatta to take some of Deputy President William Ruto’s personal effects after locing him out of his official residence.

Reports by Daily Nation on Sunday indicated that Ruto was denied access to his official residence in Mombasa on Wednesday.

According to the local daily, Ruto arrived in Mombasa at midmorning on Wednesday and proceeded to attend to his scheduled business of the day.

In the evening, he was scheduled to spend the night at the newly-refurbished former Coast Provincial Commissioner’s official residence.

The house was converted to the DP’s official house in a bid to cut costs when the DP travels to the coast region.

In the evening, at around 4pm, he retreated to the residence, where he found staff packing his personal belongings, which had been lodged there earlier in the day in anticipation that he would spend the night there.

The DP was taken aback by the turn of events and, upon further inquiry, he was told that government staff had received instructions to remove Mr Ruto’s personal effects from the house.

Babu Owino now says that the DP can spend his nights in one of his hotels.

He says that President Kenyatta should not at any point be blamed over the incident that happened to Ruto in Mombasa.

“Dp can stay at one of his many hotels in kenya worth billions of shillings which was bought with stolen money if he feels locked out of his official residence. Lets not blame President Uhuru at a time when he’s dealing with a thief. May the President take his clothes and shoes too,” posted the youthful MP.

Beaten And Robbed!Itumbi Narrates His Ordeal in The Hands of Rogue Cops at Kilimani

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Former State House employee Dennis Itumbi has narrated his ordeal in the hands of rogue police officers at Kilimani police station on Friday evening.

Itumbi alongside some tanga tanga affiliated MPs flocked Kilimani police station to demand for the release of Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria who was arrested over assault.

They had gone with a court order that demanded him released on a Ksh 50,000 bond.

Below is a long post shared by Itumbi on facebook.

Hahaaa.

” Do not worry,” The policeman at the gate told me as he held my hand.

” You know how this works, we are just following orders,” The cop continued as he told me ” I will escort you To the car, so that you are not beaten by my colleagues.

” I understand, ” I said and redirected the conversation, ” so, normally, how many days off do you get in a week?

” It depends on operations, sometimes two and other times three,”

“Oooh interesting, ” the Tear gas fumes were still affecting everyone even the officers who were coughing and pouring water to reduce the checking effect.

” Huyo ni nani afande? One cop shouted from a distance as we walked towards together. He was holding my arm.

” Usijali, we no on orders, but nitaongea nayo, usiwache Mmmh I wangu, ” The Friendly cop said to me

” Shika huyo,” I saw two cops drag someone past me, I was later to learn it was a Nation Journalist.

He was put in despite producing his Press Card.

Screams followed. ” Your children will never be anything,” a KTN journalist who had been beaten and I was later to learn sprained his arm shouted as he took off. He had also walked in to pick his car.

My friendly cop responded, to the group of cops who had blocked our way and formed a near perfect Semi-Circle, ” Huyu ni Itumbi alikuwa na sisi siku mzima, anaenda kuchukua Gari,”

” Apana yeye ndiye alileta waheshimiwa”

” Tupatie Yeye, ” another shouted hitting his rungu on his palms slightly.

“Itumbi ndiye aliita media” another shouted as my friendly cop stood his ground tightening his grip on my hand.

” Ata alikuwa Live Facebook, ni yeye ameleta pressure,”

The next thing I was pulled from my friendly cop by several policemen who were obviously more than a dozen.

They kicked, rained blows, swang their rungus on any part of the body they could reach.

“Simu iko wapi?” As one threw me on the ground kicks continued.

Fortunately, I did not have my phone or wallet just some 2, 200 shillings which they found and pulled.

As the kicks continued, I sensed it would not stop. So, I held the legs of one of them and as he turned to free himself…i got my chance and fled for the exit gate, with some chasing me.

A few dwellings and bruises was the report form of my experience in the arms of the goons, because they cannot be police officers.

Eventually, using a few tricks, I managed to drive off.

But, Meen, that was a good beating.

You get enjoy some hurdles on this journey, without them you cannot tell such beautiful stories.

Naitwa Mwangi, pole for the beating too.

Cherotich Carren Kiki niko poa.

Asanteni for all the calls and texts across platforms.

Mambo kidogo sana hii….God has surrounded us with His angels.

Be blessed

Aluta Continua!

Moral Cop Ezekiel Mutua Goes After Babu Owino Over His Foul Remarks Against Alice Wahome

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Moral cop Ezekiel Mutua has slammed Embakasi East MP Babu Owino over his latest remarks against Kandara MP Alice Wahome.

Babu Owino on Saturday took to social media promising to shave every part of Alice Wahome that has hair should she fail to respect President Uhuru Kenyatta and former premier Raila Odinga.

“Alice Wahome must respect Baba and President Uhuru or we will shave every part of her body that has hair.This is not a threat it’s a promise,” Babu Owino posted.

Mutua says politicians are okay to exchange barbs for political mileage but Babu Owino’s language is unacceptable.

He termed the language as crude and barbaric, noting that the language must not be accepted in a civilized society.

Mutua says political leaders are behaving badly and setting a bad example for the youth.

“It’s ok for politicians to differ and to exchange barbs for political mileage, but this kind of language from an MP is unacceptable. It’s crude and barbaric and must not be accepted in a civilised society. Our leaders are behaving badly and setting a bad example for the youth!” he posted.

Dr Mutua’s comment came moments after Nairobi women representative Esther Passaris tore into Babu Owino over the same remarks.

Passaris termed the post as a disrespect to women, urging Babu Owino to pull it down.

“Babu respect women. You can only shave your wife not a fellow legislator, or any other woman without their explicit consent. Any action to the contrary will be an act of defilement. I am extremely disappointed with this post. Pull it down. There’re boundaries we should not cross,” she tweeted.

Go Shave Your Wife! Passaris Tears Into Babu Owino Over His Promise to Shave Alice Wahome

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Embakasi East MP Babu Owino’s promise to shave every part of Kandara MP Alice Wahome should she fail to respect President Uhuru Kenyatta and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has attracted Nairobi Woman MP Esther Passaris’ fury.

Passaris tore into Babu Owino moments after his post went viral, telling him that he could only shave his wife and not a fellow legislator.

Passaris further reminded the youthful MP that he could as well shave any other woman without their explicit consent.

According to Passaris, any action to the contrary will be an act of defilement.

She expressed her disappointment with Babu Owino’s post, urging him to pull it down.

“Babu respect women. You can only shave your wife not a fellow legislator, or any other woman without their explicit consent. Any action to the contrary will be an act of defilement. I am extremely disappointed with this post. Pull it down. There’re boundaries we should not cross,” she posted.

Babu Owino made the post following recent attacks on Uhuru and Raila from Alice Wahome.

A few days ago, Wahome blasted Uhuru and Raila, arguing that they are working together to see Uhuru remain in power after his term comes to an end in 2022.

On Friday, she faced hostility at Kilimani police station. Could this be the shaving Babu Owino is referring to?

Well, Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro and Wahome are some of the legislators that were on Friday night teargassed while camping outside the Police Station.

They were waiting for detained Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria to be released on a Sh50,000 bond.

According to Nyoro, apart from the teargas, some of their motor vehicles have been smashed.

“They have teargassed us ruthlessly and smashed some of our vehicles inside Kilimani Police Station as we tried to have them obey a court order on Hon Moses Kuria’s release. Members of the press were not spared either. We are African and Africa is our Business…” Nyoro said.

Moses Kuria was arrested on Friday after a Kiambu woman identified as Joyce Wanja accused him of assaulting her in December 2019.

Senior principal magistrate Cheruiyot ordered for Moses Kuria’s release on a Sh50,000 bond.

This is the order the tanga tanga leaders wanted the police to obey.
