You hit the nail on the head!
Luhyas have successfully "pitad kati kati" and quite honestly archived more political gains and development surpassing their Luo neighbours.
I think it's safe to say they have tasted blood and they'll be worthy sparring partners for Ruto.
Luhyas have used strategic ambiguity-ujanja to eat on 2plates at once.That in itself sacrificed common group strategy,what others call political unity.Ironically that ujanja made them third successful political grouping but still with"mbekho".Common group strategy is creeping in.

You don't allege and then someone else provides the data. The burden of truth is with the person throwing unsubstantiated information around. Unless you want us to engage in senseless rigmarole.

You see when people form these shambolic coalitions with no common agenda other than defeating sitting president,fringe nondescript wannabe candidates get entitled-i sacrificed my ambitions for you so appoint me.Yet left on their own they can't run presidential campaign for 2days

You sound outrightly silly.
Minerals and even hardwood from Africa can be traced to museums in the West even into Statehouse and Buckingham Palace. What are you even saying?

Good evening bandeko, just here to remind you that Whatever is going on in "Lotambe" is pure wizardry, no other explanation. Don't get me started on "Mbawu nako recuperer yo"

They are selfhating malcontents.
So blinded in hate that they won't see a good thing even if it hit them on the nose.
Some people are asking how the Kenyan President managed to convince FIFA, Bundesliga President ,Eredivisie President and the two Clubs to come and play an exhibition Match during the official opening of the Iconic Raila Odinga International Stadium for FREE.
It's because Kenya has a globally respected President.

But, you were the biggest complainant when 50 stadiums were not built by Uhuruto. Now that a stadium has been completed, you are here bitching. Kenya fails because of such mentality. You dont know what you want and therefore politicias must decide for you

The only kuapishwa that didn't cost millions is 2008 because it was only Kibaki, Karua and Kivuitu who attended under cover of darkness.

Talanta Stadium cost about 48 billion. One mega event like the Munuch Ajax match generates 2 billion in just two days, just 24 such events recover the investment. That’s achievable in a year. The money goes to businesses, hotels, vendors and workers, not just government. That’s how infrastructure drives economic growth. Iwinjo?!

Hi @grok please explain to all the idiots that 2B isn't far fetched for an event like this. Breakdown where money would come from. Keep it simple for them.
parassis otieno retweeted
2B total economic impact is realistic for a sold-out Bayern-Ajax opener, not just gate money.
Breakdown:
Tickets + VIP/hospitality packages: hundreds of millions.
Sponsors + broadcast rights: big corporate checks.
Hotels: teams, media, fans stay 2+ nights.
Food, drinks, merch, vendors: stadium + city boom.
Transport, taxis, flights: extra spending.
Money circulates to workers and businesses. High-profile event like this routinely drives that scale of activity.

You were a proponent of stadiums being built often complaining the Uhuruto promised to build stadiums. Pres @WilliamsRuto gets elected and says he will build Talanta. You started saying he just want to steal. Talanta is finished, now uou complain Ruto is bringing games?
I can't agree more!
Let this reach ALL joluo mowar!
It's time ODM realized that they are negotiating from a position of disadvantage. Those two gentlemen went with the real ODM that belonged to Raila. You cannot continue making demands about written pre-election agreements yet you can't even fund your own party's activities. Beggars can never be choosers.
Secondly, when President Ruto appointed the likes of Joho, Mbadi, Oparanya, and Wandayi to the cabinet, there was no written pre-election agreement. So, why do you need it now? To blackmail the President? Nyanza will support the President for his second term not because of positions or directive from parochial and greedy politicisns, but because of what the president has done to the community during his first term. The support is UNCONDITIONAL. Lastly, let the conversation be about how many km of roads, new industries, electricity to the people, level 5 hospitals, new universities and colleges, piped water, employment for young Kenyans, riviving the agriculture sector, and extension of SGR after 2027. Not shares. Not positions that individuals will occupy with their wives and sidechicks. Usawa ni Sawa!

I lived here in 2017 between October and December.
This is Pipeline Estate, Nairobi.
I had become so broke that I couldn't live in Nyayo Estate, where I had rented a 2-bedroom house, Gate B.
Baba had just lost an election, and on 26th October, Uhuru was re-elected in a sham "birthday party election."
I had put all my hopes and dreams in Baba's victory because I knew I was going to be appointed to a plum job in government.
But after Baba lost, everybody left. Baba himself was abandoned by people close to him. He was so lonely and depressed.
Only Saitabao Ole Kanchori took the role of giving Baba company. The rest took off. They crawled back when Baba had a handshake with Jameson.
Living here in Pipeline gave me a reality check. I had never seen such an indignified ecosystem.
My Ka-small cubicle was on the 7th floor. There is no lift. The eight tenants on that floor shared a toilet and a bathroom tucked at the corner of the floor's extreme corridor.
If you get to your house in the evening and forget to buy a matchbox, you'd rather drink a mug of water, accept the situation and sleep till the next morning.
If you walk leisurely and casually along the narrow, wet, muddy footpaths beside the sewer rivulets, a random tenant will pour kitchen effluent on your head, and that ruins the day for you.
This is an experience I will never forget.
In December, I relocated to my village and started life afresh.
I vowed never again would I live that life.
I fixed my life; I was obese, and I lost weight, regained my health, fortified my mental frame and became the best version of myself.
I took my experiences and successes and turned them into lessons for helping others out of their pain.
There are Kenyans living in squalor. They smile, but inside them is a whole funeral.
Unless you walk in their shoes, you will never understand their experiences.
You will mock them, call them names, but the people living in these places deserve better lives.
Lessons I learnt:
• Politics will never change your life. It is you who can change yourself.
• Politicians are buddies; it is you and me who insult each other.
• There is no dignity in poverty. Every Kenyan deserve a good house, good healthcare and an equitable share of national resources.
• You have massive potential. You can become the best version of yourself. Don't doubt yourself.

I once attended a funeral in Ukambani with Pastor Victor Kanyari.
He was the lead pastor conducting the burial, and I was the master of ceremonies.
During a break, he invited me into his car for a smoke session. I declined.
I remember turning to a Muslim brother and saying, “Look at this pastor, apparently high on marijuana, yet standing before mourners preaching repentance.”
The contradiction struck me. Here was a man preaching repentance at a funeral while, from what I observed, engaging in conduct that seemed at odds with the message he was delivering.
That experience taught me something: never confuse a religious title with personal virtue.
A pulpit gives someone a platform, not a certificate of righteousness.

Then give President @WilliamsRuto time to work for Kenya and Kenyans. You have all that even you don't deserve. What else?

Celi Bitshoumana aka Celi Bitshou was from Congo Brazaville. Before he joined Ok Jazz, he was a member of Les Bantous. He joined OKJ together with his countryman Youlou Mabiala at the same time- around 1965. He composed the evergreen blockbuster 'Infidelite Mado'. In 1972, together with Youlou and Mose Fan Fan, they quit OKJ to join Vicky Longomba's Lovy du Zaire.
In 1973, the trio quit Lovy to form Orch Somo Somo. Due to internal aquables, they split. Youlou rejoined Okj, while Fan Fan went to Zambia and Tanzania. Celi Bitshou decided to join Orch Veve, where he composed the chartbuster 'Muana Mburu' in 1977. He later quit Veve to persue a solo career under his band Orch Celi Bitshou where he composed songs like 'Jé M'en Fou'.
