Stop asking me what I do for a living. Do you think living in Kenya is a small job? I live in Kenya for a living 馃槑

Why is it so difficult for my community to support Sifuna鈥檚 presidency? The answer is simple: we are too proud for nothing. Let鈥檚 face the truth: Raila was never president because of us! It鈥檚 time we put our pride aside and face reality. Sifuna the 6th.

Suddenly, there is so much fresh milk in the supermarkets .. Affordable Housing workers must have gotten better alternative to milk. Thank God for their change in taste!

Besides the president who sets the tone for development or lack thereof, the MCA is the most important elective seat. Choose progressive people oriented leaders and governors will not joke with county funds.

So much talk/propaganda about a divided opposition. But is it? And if it is, is it a bad thing? Remember the country has 3 choices 1) get bamboozled into believing all is well and continue with status quo with known outcomes 2) opt for quick fix by replacing status quo with legacy politicians turned reform champions and get a measured change of at all 3) blow the entire house down, change status quo and cause an earthquake in the political scene. Good thing everyone has their decision and vote, but collectively, these are our options. Choose wisely!

Hapo Kwa 30% is where it's at always. Will this be ever recovered?

To anyone watching the US edition coverage, unless you are partisan, you can't help but appreciate live streaming as election results flow from polling stations. Transparency settles disquiet anyday.

The 2026 US Midterm Elections have delivered a major political setback to President Donald Trump, with Democrats reclaiming control of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Hakeem Jeffries is now poised to make history as America's first Black Speaker of the House and Keisha Lance Bottoms becomes yhe 1st black woman Governor. Former President Barack Obama has been an influential campaign voice, mobilising Democratic support and challenging Trump's record on the economy, affordability, fuel prices and governance. From the rising cost of living and housing pressures to controversy surrounding the costly White House renovation (Cheesecake factory), the election has become a referendum on the direction of Trump's presidency. The message from American voters is clear: economic accountability, rule of law, governance and the cost of living matter. Political power is never permanent, and voters ultimately have the final say. Just like in Kenya where Mwananchi has accused Ruto of orchestrating punitive policies and state house renovation and holding parliament hostage, the signs are very clear. BLUE IS THE COLOUR! Kenya is watching. The lessons of democracy are universal.

Kule yues, Democrats have pulled of what Republicans did in 1994 and 2010 midterms. Maybe we should consider this short terms for MPigs ndo wafanye kazi. The money looted under MPigs oversight coupled with election campaign reforms can lower costs of elections

It feels very nice to see good people winning elections. Watu roho safi tu who actually care about ordinary citizens. Bad people have been winning too much bwana. What a night for the Democratic Party in the US midterms. Blue wave, sindio?

It's tough being Sifuna right now. The public overwhelmingly wants him as next president. His opponent Kasongo is trying night and day to contain him. Opposition are both jealous and dismissive of him. Some who left want him but on a purist platform. Kila siku he's the main subject. Good or bad pressure is publicity though. In the end, it's about the votes. Good thing, he's up to the task. @edwinsifuna

Malala went to Jeff to burst the bubble that was. I don't think he'll be invited anytime soon, and doubt he cares either

Transparency, Accoubtability, sustainable development. The #LindaMwananchiMovement promise is to make all project contracts available to the public in conformity with these three Constitutional Values. We all know why the Ruto regime hides these agreements. From Bomas to Talanta to Rironi highway to Lamu refinery, we are being robbed blind. #LindaKatiba

Guys, this week going forward is the time to get the best shock absorbers, best ear plugs and have a warthog memory on some issues. Iingie sikio moja, itokee na ingine. Propaganda imeanza kuiva proper. The weak will be easily swayed. Just remember, what seems is not unless from horses mouth.

Ata ukitaka kutetea Kalonzo ni ngumu. Huko bread based wanagombania 50/50. Ye anademand flag bearer. UDA are wooing him in public and secret. Even as he swears his disinterest, history is not on his side.

Chelsea are making mince meat of Manchester United. Don't know how long the Glazers will hang onto Carrick.

By now, minds are made up. It's about getting out the vote. But which candidate can achieve this?. Kasongo supporters want status quo for their reasons, selfish or revenge. United opposition legacy crew want change to access the national purse. Sifuna supporters are tired of lesser of two narrative and want real change. Let the ballot decide on the change majority want. Au sio?

Even as some guys praise the Bayern Vs Ajax thing, imagine being a local football star. How would you feel? You can argue they'll not fetch revenue, but aside from the PR, how much of our taxes are being spent? Then ask yourself why our athletes defect at first opportunity.
