Well, there is still time and therefore hope. Franz Kafka, 1912.

Allahuma hasibnii hisaban yaseerah. 'O Allah Grant Me An Easy Reckoning'

Think of death, put death in your plans. This life is so fickle.

For isiolo, the script has changed. The kings of yesterday must now slump back into their sofas,grab the remote and watch a new chapter unfold on their screens.The story of isiolo young turks has only just begun. ~Hon @AKabelo

@AokoOtieno_ Masha Allah.

Quran 4:59 (Surah An-Nisa, Verse 59) “O believers! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you I'm converting to Islam Wishing all Muslims Ramadhan kareem 💞

Suhoor + Fasting + Iftar + Taraweeh + Tafsir + Tahajjud + Qur'an Allahumma Ballighna Ramadan 🤲

Oh Allah, grant us the blessing of witnessing Ramadan and make us among those who fast, pray taraweeh, feed at least a fasting person daily and be among the list of those who are freed from the hellfire.

@rigathi Hon.Reggy do something about isiolo. How much did isiolo County received since the start of devolution?

Wajeer wey Jiirantahy Jiirow ! Since devolution began in 2013, Wajir County alone has received almost KES.200 Billion in public funds. Yet, in the Governor’s own words, the county remains unattractive; characterized by poor infrastructure, ungoverned spaces, and a lack of electricity. It is hard to understand how a sitting two term Governor and the current Chairman, Council of Governors can describe his own county this way after presiding over the spending of almost KES.200 Billion that were meant to fix exactly these basic challenges. Are Reer Wajeer people really being asked to believe that the County could not spare even two shillings out of every a thousand ~ 0.02 % of its total budget to solve the recurring and perennial water shortages for its own people and the Ummah including women, children, the orphans and widows of Wajir, who still have to walk long distances every day in search of life’s most basic needs? SubhanaAllah ! This failure feels even more painful as the Holy Month of Ramadan approaches in two weeks time; families face daily life with no water, no descent sanitation, no electricity, no functional healthcare facilities and with no reliable infrastructure. These are not luxuries. They are the bare minimum required for human life, human dignity and life’s existence. Have some Naxariis for your people. SubhanaAllah ! In the end, the leadership of Wajir County will be judged not by hundreds of media interviews in Nairobi by hopping from one radio station to another, but by the impact you have on the people who entrusted you; Reer Wajeer and results on the Ummah. Reer Wajeer people are not asking for miracles nor life’s niceties. They are asking for life’s basics; water, descent sanitation, functional healthcare system and electricity. Again Jiirow, have some naxaaris on your people and the Ummah ! SubhanAllah ! The Holy Qur’an in Suratul Yaseen, Ayat 12 (36:12) reminds us that we shall all be resurrected and be called upon to account for our deeds and their consequences. Every injustice, every stolen coin, every life lost will be accounted for truly and fully. Warya Jiir, you certainly know that questions will be asked in Yaumul Qiyamah, and no worldly wealth or power will shield you from divine justice. Be fair, be just and be true to the Ummah who entrusted you with their fate. SubhanaAllah ! How does it feel to have your County with no descent sanitation system for 60+ years after independence and over 13 years since the advent of devolved funding. For Heaven’s sake Jiirow, fix the water problem, work on the sanitation system and have a functional healthcare facilities for your people ! Walee, Reer Wajeero waar ba Jiiro iyo Jiir.

That famous Sokohuru. Senator @edwinsifuna shouldn't be the one to lecture us on integrity and leadership.

@citizentvkenya The famous Soko-Huru

Ekuru Aukot: Migori Senator Eddie Oketch is the only one who refused to be bribed during the impeachment of the governor of Isiolo. Each one of them received Ksh. 5 Million. I have the evidence and know the people in UDA giving money to ODM members #CitizenDayBreak

Your death will come on an ordinary day, in the middle of unfinished plans, and the world will continue on without you.

There was, there is, & there will be one Manchester United ✅ #ARSMUN

At the end of your life, no one will remember your social media following, the size of your home, or the balance in your bank account. What will truly matter is how you loved your people, the impact you had on others, and the lives you touched along the way. Remember that!

Deep!

Bonaya Adhi Godana was born in 1952 in Dukana, a Gabra settlement pressed against the winds of the Chalbi Desert. He grew up herding camels, his bare feet hardened by stone and sand, his eyes trained on horizons that seemed endless. In those days, classrooms were as rare as rain, and politics belonged to distant towns. Yet the Gabra elders, in a moment of communal foresight, released the boy to the Consolata Fathers. “Waaqa haa eebbisu,” one elder said — may God bless him. The nearest school lay seventy kilometres away in North Horr. The journey was long, but destiny often hides in long journeys. At Marsabit Boys High School, his brilliance startled teachers. At Meru School, three straight A’s confirmed what the desert had whispered: this boy carried a mind sharpened like a spear. By 1976, he graduated top of his class at the University of Nairobi with First Class Honours in law. London gave him a Master’s degree, Geneva a Ph.D. in international law. Returning home, he lectured at Nairobi, rising to Chairman of Public Law. Yet academia was too narrow for a man whose vision stretched across deserts and borders. In 1988, he entered politics as the first MP for North Horr. Parliament, often noisy and theatrical, found in him a calm, incisive voice. President Daniel arap Moi, watching from State House, remarked to aides: “That young man argues with the precision of a judge and the patience of a herdsman.” Moi appointed him Assistant Minister, then Deputy Speaker. In 1998, he became Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Horn of Africa was trembling. Ethiopia and Eritrea were locked in war, the Oromo Liberation Front stirred unrest, and Kenya’s fragile alliance with Addis Ababa threatened to unravel. Godana, scholar and son of the frontier, stepped into the storm. He led delegations to Ethiopia, speaking with clarity and firmness. “Foreign policy,” he told diplomats in 2001, “is not the property of one clan or one tribe. It is the shield of the nation.” But firmness carried a price. Joint operations against OLF sympathizers angered Borana leaders like Abdi Tari Sasura and Guracha Galgallo. In Parliament, accusations flew. “You target us unfairly,” Sasura thundered. Godana, unshaken, replied, “I target only what threatens Kenya. Nothing more, nothing less.” The chamber fell silent, the weight of his words heavy as desert stones. His stature grew. In 2002, whispers of succession reached State House. Evangelical leaders, alarmed by rumours, sought Moi’s ear. “We cannot have a Muslim succeed you,” they pleaded. Moi, iron‑willed, rebuked them sharply: “Dr. Godana is a baptized Catholic. He is a Christian like you. Do not insult me with ignorance.” The delegation left in shame, their protest dissolved by truth. Transferred to Agriculture, Godana survived the 2002 elections and became Deputy Leader of the Opposition. Yet his heart remained tethered to Marsabit. Through his NGO, the Pastoralist Integrated Support Programme (PISP), he dug boreholes, built water systems, offered scholarships. “Water is life,” he told villagers in Dukana, “and education is the second water.” His words, simple yet profound, echoed Achebe’s wisdom: opportunity awakens courage, even in the most unlikely places. Then came April 10, 2006. A plane lifted from Nairobi, carrying Godana and his rivals — Sasura, Galgallo, Ngoyoni — toward a peace meeting in Marsabit. Suspense hung in the air. Could enemies become allies? Could Marsabit’s wounds be healed? The plane never arrived. It fell from the sky, scattering lives across the earth. Thirteen died, three survived. Professor Yash Pal Ghai, constitutional scholar, later reflected: “His death was not just the loss of a man. It was the silencing of a disciplined mind, a nationalist who believed law could tame chaos.”

Those who doubted you in life will celebrate you in death. I understood this deeply through Zuchu’s tribute to the late Hon. Mohamed Tupi

“Death has a strange way of revealing truth. Even those who opposed you in life will praise you when you're gone. I realized this while listening to Zuchu’s tribute to the late Hon. Mohamed Tupi

Isiolo South MP Mohamed Tubi: Isiolo has problems. The chaos being witnessed is linked to the failed impeachment of Governor Abdi Guyo. People are being killed left, right and centre, and nothing is being done about it. The situation is ungovernable.

Babu will be the next big thing, he will not be like Raila even if he has been schooled by him. He will pave his own path and become even bigger. I'm here to witness and hopefully give my small contribution towards what he is about to become. #RIPRailaOdinga

@LinusKaikai Na Duale angesema nini hapa?😂we heard that he holds a bachelor degree in camel trophy and specializes in Sha-Shame insurance

GIVE IT to our Lakeside compatriots; which other region can pull this sequence? Watch the moment the rest of the house/regions was reduced to a ‘Silent Majority’. 😅
