Former Machakos senator Johnstone Muthama Kalonzo for misleading the Community after he announced his undying support to President Kenyatta even beyond 2022.

Mutua who spoke on Thursday in Machakos County insisted the Kamba nation is not for wager to the highest bidder.

With DP Ruto welcoming Kalonzo to Jubilee, who do you think Kalonzo will be working with come 2022?

Embattled Sonko Bags Another International Award

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Embattled Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has bagged another international award.

This owes to his efforts to make the world a better place.

Sonko was given the prestigious World Peace Messenger award by the World Peace and Diplomacy Organization in Los Angeles, USA at a colorful event that also saw Kenyan Betty Adera awarded as a Humanitarian and Global icon.

The honorary position means that Sonko is now entitled to the confidence and trust of members of the US based organisation, and will join the rest of African appointees in similar position in spearheading peace and humanitarian initiatives across the continent.

Sonko was awarded for his efforts in reaching out to the poor in society and his commitment to reform youths associated with criminal groups.

The governor has himself confessed to be a reformed citizen, having spent time in prison for criminal related activities.

His transformation has seen him grow into an astute businessman, a political leader and a father of many adopted children.

While receiving the award, Sonko spoke of his pride in his achievements in life, especially on matters touching the needy and initiatives to reform criminal youth gangs. The award was picked on his behalf by Mrs Adera who also bagged the Humanitarian and Global Icon award.

“I am so humbled and gratified to have been recognised at such a high level but this can only make me proud of the bold steps l have made in my life,” he said.

He promised to continue with his humanitarian activities and the campaign to rehabilitate youths from the street life as well as encourage youths to shun criminal activities.

“Having had a past that is challenging, many youths doing some of these evils approach me for possible solutions on how they can be better citizens and we have helped them get the right counseling and rehabilitation and some have grown into reliable business men in society,” Sonko added.

He noted that all these contribute to a peaceful society that is good for all.

“Sometimes these efforts may not be recognised locally but we keep trying and helping where we can,” he noted.

Sonko was early last year appointed the Good Deeds Ambassador for Kenya and also received an International Police Award for his peace initiatives.

For the last two years as a governor, he has worked with the police in efforts to encourage armed youths in slum areas to surrender their weapons.

More than 1,000 youths have also been taken away from the street life to various rehabilitation centres in Nairobi.

County Secretary Leboo Morintant, CECs Vesca Kagongo, Allan Igambi, Chief of Staff Kamau Mugo,Lucia Mulwa, chief officers among others have congratulated the governor for the award and encouraged him to keep transforming more youths into better citizens.

How Nairobi MCAs Are Plotting to Save Sonko Through Dubai Trip

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

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.

Waiguru Hit Hard Again in Another Controversial Song

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

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.

written by Mustafa Juma

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.

Mbadi Tears Into Ruto Over BBI

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

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.

Murkomen, ODM leaders Clash in Front of Raila

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

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.
