Karoki Waweru

The Sunday Standard delves into how ODM’s Special National Delegates Convention at Jamhuri Grounds was marked by lavish spending and political choreography, raising questions about the party’s independence. Insiders reveal that over 6,000 delegates were ferried to Nairobi at an estimated cost of Ksh 100 million, with some delegates from Nyanza pocketing as much as Ksh 25,000 each, while those from other regions received up to Ksh 30,000 for transport and meals. Delegates based in Nairobi reportedly received Ksh 4,000 each for facilitation, with critics claiming the event, complete with red carpets and colourful displays, was funded in part by State House to sideline party rebels and install officials seen as friendly to President William Ruto’s UDA. The spectacle has prompted debate over whether the political legacy built by the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga is being compromised for financial and strategic gain.

President William Ruto’s recent local tours continue to draw subdued and unenthusiastic crowds as public sentiment towards his administration appears increasingly strained ahead of the 2027 General Election.

So Trident Insurance goes under receivership and not a single clear notice to clients? I only find out AFTER being arrested and fined for “no insurance.” This is gross negligence. Customers deserve proper communication, not punishment for your failure. Fix this mess. COMPENSATE

Congratulations to @LarryMadowo for being awarded Human Rights Defender of the Year in Kenya for his courageous reporting in Kenya and beyond.

@moneyacademyKE Another ploy to loot public land

Kenya’s government has now approved clearing 76 acres of indigenous forest in Nairobi National Park for Bomas expansion

NEMA issued a licence allowing Kenya Wildlife Service to convert 76 acres currently occupied by indigenous trees. Make it make sense.

@generali_osumo These are the idiots that the nation will need to take to account as soon as we send Ruto to Sugoi

Kenyans would want to know the identity of this particular police officer because of his misbehaviour at the Linda Mwanainchi, People's NDC at Ufungamano House today. Right from when the leaders arrived with the masses, this is the only police officer who tried to close the gate and shield the people from getting in. He looked like he was the one in command but efforts to instruct the police officers to help him make a barrier at the gate but they turned him down. Immediately, the team made it to the auditorium and started the meeting which was peaceful, he was seen running up and down trying to call for back up. In some instances he would be heard conversing in Kalenjin. In so many instances he would be seen trying to force the police that he was commanding to forcefully gain entry into the auditorium. The police kept looking at him without doing anything. He then ran out and called another group of police who had teargas canisters and gave them instructions to lob teargas into the meeting but they never moved an inch. This was happening while being captured in camera. For nearly an hour he continued to try and persuade the police to act but they continued looking at him. Later a certain police woman in uniform and another man in civilian who was in-charge of the DCI told them that if the meeting was disrupted then there would be so much collateral damage! Still even after his colleagues from GSU and DCI advised him not to take such a suicidal action, he would still be seen running around trying to gain access to the meeting and lob teargas. He was later overwhelmed and left very disappointed and the other police officers withdrew. What I learnt from the police behaviour today is that even them are TIRED taking silly orders to harm the people. Speaking to one police officer told me that so many police officers are facing charges across the country because they took orders to take stupid actions from the state and after they get into problems they get abandoned by the same people who gave them orders to act in such a manner! Such kind of people acting very IRRATIONALLY like this particular police officer are the ones who will BURN this country some day. So IRRESPONSIBLE and THICK! Extremely sad!

Wait, why is there an obsession with losing forests in Kenya? First Karura　then Ngong forests now 76ACRES of forests? What's going on ?? Please join us on 1st April as we rise in defense of our forests. #SaveKarura #defendoursovereignty #RutoMustGo

You will never find justice in a world where the criminals make the laws!

This is nothing but stupidity at play, and I don't think that we are being told the truth.

Lakini Wakenya sisi huwa matacore sana. One man appoints an IEBC of his liking. He buys the media and shuts down those he can’t control. He has Langat firmly in his grip of the police. He is already propping up his friends and kinsmen for the Chief Justice position ahead of 2027. He has opened the borders wide and is issuing IDs to foreigners like sweets. Halafu sisi tunangoja 2027. I pity us.

UPDATE: For the avoidance of doubt, we hereby notify Kenyans that our founding Party Leader, Hon. @MusaliaMudavadi and his entire team vacated ANC membership and joined a rival political party(ies). We have already formally invited them to consider revoking their current memberships and rejoins. Should they choose otherwise — given that many now hold office-bearers positions elsewhere — we respect their decision and wish them well. For the record: Parties belong to their members. Not to their leaders. The party endures. ANC -#LindaUchumi @ORPPKenya @IEBCKenya

At @KWSKenya @rebecca_miano @WilliamsRuto this is not acceptable by any means. Stop destroying our forests, stop interfering with nature.

Mtawekwa kwa affordable housing mfinyane halafu huge tracts of land zipewe foreigners in the name of agriculture. You will work in your ancestral lands as slaves. Reject imperialism.
