A section of Nairobi MCAs have hatched a plot to save embattled governor Mike Sonko through a Dubai trip.

According to reports by one of the leading local dailies, 18 MCAs are set to leave for Dubai amid Sonko’s impeachment motion debate.

The date set for the trip is the same date ODM MCAs have called for speaker Beatrice Alachi to convene a special sitting to discuss Nairobi woes.

The 18 MCAs set to leave for Dubai are said to be trying to avoid the special sitting .

The ODM MCAs are said to have given Elachi a seven-day ultimatum to call for the special sitting.

Should the 18 legislators go for their tour, then, there would be no quorum to debate Sonko’s ouster.

Sonko is facing graft charges and has been barred from accessing office until his case is heard and determined.

His Kiambu counterpart Ferdinand Waititu was already ousted, and has written to the senate to demonstrate his ouster, arguing that there was no quorum.

He has also moved to supreme court to fight for his access to the office after Court of Appeal upheld Justice Ngugi’s ruling that barred him from accessing office.

Impeached Kiambu county governor Ferdinand Waititu on Monday moved to the Supreme Court to contest the decision to lock him out of office.

Waititu claims in the notice of appeal to the apex court that he is dissatisfied with the Court of Appeal’s decision last Friday to uphold his suspension, claiming that it amounted to removing him from office through the back door.

“Being dissatisfied with the entire decision of the Appellate Court, the applicant is seeking the Supreme Court’s intervention to enforce his rights as an elected governor and those of Kiambu people who stand to suffer if the decision is not overturned,” read the notice of appeal.

Appellate Judges Daniel Musinga, Agnes Murgor and Gatembu Kairu on Friday upheld a High Court decision, which suspended Waititu and Samburu Governor Moses Lenolkulal from office after they were charged with embezzling public funds.

The governor was charged in July with conspiracy to steal Sh58 million from Kiambu County during the award of a Sh588 million tender for roads construction.

He was charged alongside his wife Susan Wangari Ndun’gu, former County Chief Officer for Roads Luka Mwangi, businessman Charles Chege and his wife Beth Wangeci as well as six county employees.

The trial magistrate then barred Waititu from accessing his office as a condition for being released on bail.

The ruling was upheld by High Court Judge Grace Ngenye who declared that the governor should not set foot in the county offices until the corruption case is concluded.

Judges Musinga, Murgor and Gatembu ruled that public interest outweighed the two governors’ individual rights to access their offices.

“We find nothing wrong with the lower court’s decision to bar the governors from accessing their offices. As much as it will be inconveniencing to them, we find that it is necessary to impose the conditions to safeguard public resources and the court’s integrity,” ruled the judges.

According to the judges, it would be wrong to allow Waititu to set foot in the same offices he is accused of committing the crimes and interact with the same witnesses, who are his junior staff, scheduled to testify against him.

On the issue of a vacuum being witnessed at the counties due to the governors’ absence, the judges stated that the constitution already has a provision for deputy governors to take over functions of running county affairs in the absence of their bosses.

“There is absolutely no fear of vacuum in leadership in the absence of a governor. We have had instances where the governor is having ill-health and their deputies take over. The law provides that the deputies can run the affairs if the governor is absent,” ruled the judges.

Busia County has embarked on fostering unity among residents Owing to 2017 heated electoral process through sports.

Several local football clubs are now battling for a Ksh 250,000 cash price in the ongoing tournament.

Odiado Drones FC reembark on the search for their maiden trophy when they face Red Sharks in the Nangina ward soccer tournament final on Tuesday.

The sides both carry an unbeaten run into the final that will be staged at the Funyula Stadium in Busia County, and Drones who are aware of their opponents’ threat are determined to walk the talk.

“Sharks are a very good side. They are sharp and able to cause harm any time. But that does not matter. We are going for it, we are going for them, I believe in my boys,” Drones FC head coach Asudi Mooka oozed with optimism during Monday’s light training session at Odiado Primary playing ground.

Drones held their nerve to beat Malanga FC 4-2 in penalty shootout on Saturday, after the game ended in a barren draw, Evans Willy, Dennis Opondo and Cyrus Ogana all slotting home from the spot.

Mooka believes the success in the dramatic semifinal has all but raised the mood in his camp.

“It was nervy shootout. You know they(Malanga) have a good goalkeeper and they even boasted of it as the shootouts loomed. But these young kept their cool, rose to the occasion and saved the day,” he opined.

According to the organizer, Nangina ward MCA John Obwogo, the annual event will go a long way in ensuring the region’s cohesiveness and HIV/AIDS awareness.

“This tourney serves to foster unity among residents owing to the 2017 heated electoral process. We also aim at raising HIV/AIDS as we keep the youths occupied, as well as empowering them through talent exposure and cash prizes,” said Obwogo.

The winner of the tournament takes home KES 250,000 as the runners up settle for KES 200,000. Losing semifinalists Malanga FC and Sigulu FC will battle it out for third place place in an early kick off match, the winner pocketing KES 100,000 and the other KES 50,000.

The grand final will be graced by Busia Governor Sospeter Ojaamong, Ugenya MP David Ochieng, former Funyula MP Paul Otuoma, Nangina ward MCA John Obwogo among others.

Just a few days after Kirinyaga governor dropped her bid to sue Kenyan rapper King Kaka, another artist has yet again hit out at her in another controversial song dubbed Wajinga sisi.

Francis Hamisi popularly known as Frasha has released the song hitting out at politicians that were left out by King Kaka.

In the song, Frasha asks King Kaka about Waiguru’s bid to sue him before reiterating the message in controversial Wajinga nyinyi song.

He starts by telling King kaka that he was in solidarity with him, accusing Waiguru of stealing millions from National Youth Service during her tenure in the devolution ministry.

Also mentioned is deputy president Dr William Ruto over his alleged involvement in land grabbing cases.

Migori governor Okoth Obado has also been hit hard over the murder case following him over the death of Rongo University Student Sharon Otieno.

Frashas song comes just days after another poet Tear Drops released Wajinga Nyinyi part 2, which also hits hard at the failed government system.

On Friday Governor Waiguru dismissed the King Kaka as a ‘confused attention-seeking young man.’

decision comes exactly four days after the governor threatened to sue the artiste for defaming her in the song.

“Having watched the antics of King Kaka in the last couple of days with reports of fake assassination attempts and DCI summons, I recognise that he’s a confused attention-seeking young man. I have therefore made the decision not to proceed with the King Kaka suit,” she posted on Facebook.

Governor Waiguru said that it is unfortunate that talented youth have accepted to be used by a clique of politicians to settle scores.

Earlier on, before Waiguru made the announcement, Nairobi lawyer Nelson Havi had released a statement on behalf of the musician, saying the song is not in any way defamatory.

The lawyer further stated that the four demands set out in Waiguru’s letter will not be met.

King Kaka released the hard-hitting song a week ago evoking loud applause and sharp criticism in equal measures, which has been getting support from other artists.

Below is Frasha’s latest Wajinga sisi hit.

Machakos County Governor Dr Alfred Mutua has insisted that Deputy President Dr William Ruto should be questioned by police.

On December 16, Mutua filed a report at Kilimani Police Station claiming that DP Ruto threatened him on November 25, when Mutua, Ruto, among other State officials, had gone to State House-Nairobi to witness President Uhuru Kenyatta receiving the BBI report.

Speaking on Sunday evening during K24’s punchline show, Mutua said he read hostility in Ruto’s gaze, firm handshake and statement that Ruto “will deal with him”.

The DCI would later say that Mutua never provided witnesses to corroborate his allegations.

But the governor believes police are taking his claims “seriously” and he “hopes they question the Deputy President”.

He also insisted that Garissa township Member of Parliament Aden Duale should be investigated on his claims that he can deal with over 50,000 Kambas in Garissa.

Mutua also want Duale out of office since he said Kambas should not be in his constituency, arguing that if it was in the US he should have stepped aside.

Amani National Congress (ANC) party leader Musalia Mudavadi has plans of forming an alliance with President Uhuru Kenyatta before 2022, Lugari MP Ayub Savula has revealed.

Savula who was addressing media in Kakameg on Saturday said Mudavadi is ready to work with the Head of State as he plans to rise to power in 2022.

He said the party has plans to convene a meeting where the matter will be discussed in detail.

Savula claimed Uhuru and Mudavadi have met on several occasions, adding that something is brewing up between the duo, as the debate on the next president of Kenya gains momentum.

“We are going to convene a party NEC meeting soon to review the relationship between the two,” he said. 

“When President Kenyatta asked his Mt. Kenya backyard to stop following other politicians seeking to succeed him and wait for a surprise candidate he was referring to Mudavadi,” he said.

Savula said that the two leaders have been holding frequent meetings and more will follow in the near future.

The lawmaker said that the former Vice-president cannot deputize Deputy President William Ruto in 2022.

He said that the law already bars the DP from serving in the same position for more than ten years and can therefore not deputize Mudavadi.

Suba South Member of Parliament and the National Assembly Minority leader John Mbadi has torn into Deputy President Dr William Ruto over Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).

Mbadi while speaking to a local daily over the weekend said that the second in command is overrating himself thinking that he is very important.

Mbadi who accused Ruto of being against the BBI noted that DP Ruto is leading no political party, citing that he is the deputy of a party leader just like ODM’s deputy party leaders Hassan Joho (Mombasa Governor) and Wycliffe Oparanya (Kakamega Governor).

According to Mbadi, Ruto should not expect to be invited where party leaders are consulting.

“He should prepare to be in meetings where we attend as officials of political parties, but meetings where the two leaders (Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga) are meeting or leaders of political parties are meeting, he has no mandate, to be present,” noted Mbadi.

The ODM party chairman also faulted the DP for dismissing BBI report even before it came out.

“When the content came out completely different from what he was saying, it becomes clear he was fighting the unknown,” he said.

He says Ruto’s weakness in politics is that he is always in fighting mode and which is not very good for someone who wants a position that Ruto wants.

“If you want to lead a country, you need to be sober, exercise caution, and speak only when you are sure,” Mbadi remarked.

As Deputy President Dr William Ruto celebrates his 53rd birthday, former sports Cabinet Secretary Rashid Mohammed Echesa has penned a moving message to him with two wishes.

Taking to his official twitter account on Saturday morning, Echesa prayed that the best of DP Ruto’s life come to pass.

He continued by praying that Ruto’s spirit be enriched by love and hope in the prosperous years ahead so that the DP may continue empowering the lives of others with his positivity, love, benevolence and bounty heart.

Echesa further wished Ruto a future of limitless possibilities and opportunities.

“May your spirit be enriched by love and hope in the prosperous years ahead so that you may continue empowering the lives of others with your positivity, love, benevolence and bounty heart.Wishing you a future of limitless possibilities and opportunities. Mungu akubariki mungwana,” he posted.

Echesa who is a former Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) youth leader jumped ship and joined Ruto’s camp in the run-up to 2017 General Election.

The youthful politician came to public limelight when he was appointed the Sports CS in Uhuru’s cabinet unveiled in March 2018.

He became the subject of discussion in the country after many Kenyans questioned his academic qualification and ability to deliver considering he had not even set foot in High School.

He was later mysteriously fired and replaced by Amina Mohamed who was moved from the Ministry of Education.

Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen on Friday annoyed Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leaders in Raila Odinga’s backyard.

Speaking at Waondo, Mbita Constituency in Homa Bay during the burial of Senator Moses Kajwang’s mother, Murkomen claimed that President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga had a hidden agenda in the BBI drive, noting that it was high time they opened up to help end the tension building up over implementation of the report.

“If it is a powerful prime minister that you want, please tell us so that we consider and focus on other critical issues affecting Kenya,” he said as Raila and scores of ODM brigade listened.

But ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna, Siaya Senator James Orengo and his Kisii counterpart Sam Ongeri told him off, accusing him and his allies of politicising the BBI report.

“I want Murkomen to be sincere when he is mentioning the names of the two leaders. The document is from the people and its implementation must be decided by the people,” said Mr Sifuna.

Secret agendaMr Orengo said the BBI report contained weighty issues, noting some of which will have to be decided through a referendum, while some could be handled  through policy and legislation.

“The destiny of the document will be decided by the people but some can be refereed to Parliament. We must stop clouding it with cheap politics,” said  Orengo.

Murkomen claimed that extending the term of BBI task force was a clear demonstration that Raila and Uhuru had a secret agenda with the initiative.

IF you are NOT blessed enough to own personal means then u surely must have headed to COUNTRY Bus(waluhya) ama pale AFYA center(wakisii )to book a mbukinya or a transline bus to facilitate your travel to mashinani

Below are some of the habits to avoid in favor of your fellow passengers

FEEDING HABITS

Eat from your house and head to the bus station on a full stomach. If u can’t eat from home wait until you arrive at the designated stopping point. Some of us are very broke to sustain the chicken and chips aroma that you are inflicting on us as we travel.  Avoid foods that can inflict bodily harm to your bus mates.   Sugar cane is not advisable during travel. You may inflict your neighbor with unplanned injuries while trying to exercise the INEOS kipchoge challenge on sugarcane

Avoid foods that can cause neema to arrest you for being biologically hazardous to the environment and Stop pouring food on us .You can’t eat a cocktail of yoghurt eggs and groundnuts then expect a positive response from your stomach.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS

We don’t want to hear how Duale your village dog raped Rex the City chiuwawa .In short we are not interested in your nonsensical phone conversations. If u must speak to us make sure your dental formulae is clean. We are tired of the heavy hazardous smell of last night’s Guinness while trying to make us laugh to your unfunny long stories

SLEEPING HABITS

If your neck can’t handle your big Head kindly try to stabilize your head somewhere else when sleepy.  Kama uko na Tabia ya kuachia wenzako stain ya Mate ukiwa umelala panda punda

CHILDREN

If family planning dint work for you please don’t involve us with your six children if you can’t pay their bus tickets and facilitate their feeding.  The habit of “nishikie huyu” or “amka baba ukule na uncle”   uncle?? Where? Who? How?

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS

If you can’t keep your eyes to yourselves, watch the moving trees outside and Stop poking your nose to our phones. To phone owners keep your private matters private and put on headphones. We are not interested in your coarse voice notes with your TWA TWA partner

Finally travel safe and happy festivities

Sponsoring something (or someone) is the act of supporting an event, activity, person, or organization financially or through the provision of products or services.

The individual or group that provides the support, similar to a benefactor, is known as a  sponsor, However in Kenya sponsorship” is the concept of an older, wealthier man taking care of a pretty younger, attractive girl in exchange for ‘a one minute TWA TWA session not unless the sponsor has been hitting the gym then he can surpass the one minute mark by 30 seconds

Sponsorship typically comes in the form of treats as well as cash allowance. The man gives the girl money. The girl gives the man sex companionship.

In the end, both parties go home happy while most likely equipped with fresh STIs to transmit

Here are the notable characteristics of A Kenyan sponsor

They do it privately

A good number of Kenyan sponsors are well respected men who you wouldn’t suspect are banging their daughters’ age-mates under the radar.

Their actions aren’t always immediately discernible. A sponsor  will expect a relationship that’s discreet and private regardless of why he’s having an affair, he likely has no intention of ending his marriage.

He is just looking for an escape—he wants to fulfill that adventurous fantasy of being with a beautiful younger woman, but still wants to be able to go home to his normal life.

Pot belly

Kenyan sponsors look like they are the ones that get pregnant after sex, They look like they ate all the previous girls they slept with.

I wonder how the young girls manage to survive under all that weight. These girls must be having hidden ‘Samsonic’ powers in those weaves or something because their ability to handle all the heaviness is  something else After all, sponsors can only do the missionary position. Any other position would give them a heart attack. 

Extremely thirsty They prefer the time frame between “hello” and TWA TWA” to be as short as possible, in that they don’t waste too much time chasing a girl. What they do is just dangle the opulence to potential gold-digging targets . Same way a home owner dangles a bone to a dog and it comes running

Sponsors are more thirsty than Savanna buffalos looking for water in a National Geographic wildlife documentary. Despite the excessive sex  they get, their thirst stagnates at alarmingly high levels.

They wallow in desire and revel in female submission.

Super generous.

They  are the everyday Santa Claus, only that their gifts are target-specific. A sponsor understands that the ordinary, beautiful young woman is broke and in desperate need of a good life.

He thus takes advantage of this by feeding young girls cash plus treats and making them addicted to the life. A sponsor understands that no girl can refuse to kiss his unevenly shaped lips after buying her dinner at Kempinski and gifting her an I-phone 10 plus.

It’s all part of the trade and part of the world as we know it at the moment.

Controlling.

A sponsor will most likely want to be in control of when and where the relationship plays out. He doesn’t tolerate instances of a girl calling and asking “Uko wapi? Nikam?” Sponsors mean what they say. These men are interested in control.

They don’t want a forceful woman. They have enough of that already. They want a girl who’ll be a pretty flower. For each favor they dish out, they expect a woman to bend over backwards to appease them.

Sponsors are all over and they are here to say. Unless the girls decide to suddenly embrace morals. To us young guys, they are competition – strong competition.

You just have to be a smart and dominant male to avoid kissing the same female lips that were kissing your grandfather during the weekend

Controversial pastor James Ng’ng’a has claimed that rapper Kinga Kaka’s mother is his girlfriend.
