@citizentvkenya The punishment for theft by servant is instant dismissal. The governors are currently stealing from the government (taxes) why haven't they been sacked by government?

@gabrieloguda This is an inscription dedicated by the 1st World War soldiers who lost their lives during war.

Every Kenyan should frame this photo and have each generation in their family hand it down to the next generation until the year when Africa wakes up to the vision that Raila Amolo Odinga had for the continent. An inscription somewhere says: "When you go home, tell them of us and say, for their tomorrow, we gave our today." It may be the year 2050, 2080, or 2100 when the SGR from Mombasa will cross over into Accra, but may we never forget the vision bearers who started the dream and followed it through with action. Because of them, Africa is in promising hands. Because of them, we are standing on the shoulders of giants.

@K24Tv Hold your head high. Kiharu wako na MP not MPig.

If you met Ndindi Nyoro today, what advice would you give him? #K24Questions

@itskipronoh Biggest liar of the century. Stop inviting this praise and worship circus groups.

I never knew Gladys Shollei can stammer like this. Earlier today she was cornered by Ayub Abdikadir at Citizen TV. Bibi ya Mzungu karibu atoke mbio.

@K24Tv Gluttonous MPig puking

"I can’t criticize Ruto’s government," CS Wandayi tells off government critics in ODM

In their own wisdom, Musalia and Wetangula have invited the president to launch a Transformer in Bungoma!. Wakishiba hawasumbui!

@JunetMohamed @MusaliaMudavadi You're going home 2027. Sale by date expired.

Omwami @MusaliaMudavadi!

@MamboMseto254 Admission that abductions are State sponsored.

MP Nelson Koech goes after Edwin Sifuna, claims the ODM Sec Gen did not condemn abductions under Uhuru Kenyatta's government and hence should not condemn abductions during Ruto's presidency. What do you make of Koech's argument? Watch 👇👇

@ahmednasirlaw High seas pirate cash money corruption!!!!

(1). Corruption/stealing from the state/public during President William Ruto's first 30 months in office is roughly at 20% of the theft/looting during Uhuru's tenure. Fact. Yet public perception is that Ruto and his inner circle have looted Kenya clean. Ruto's people are yet to pull a big deal. Fact. Whereas Uhuru's tenure was defined by over 15 grand deals. Fact. (2). So why does it look like the opposite is the case? Why is Ruto's regime seen as irredeemable corrupt and Uhuru's wasn't judged harshly on the corruption index? (3). The answers are a complex interplay of a number of facts informed by politics, ethnicity, history, and sociology. (4). First, Kenyans generally see corruption during a Kalenjin president as wanton/malevolent. Kalenjin corruption is seen as raw/clumsy/ugly. Kikuyu corruption, on the other hand, right from Jomo Kenyatta, is seen as "dignified", the normal act of smart politicians and businessmen. Kikuyu corruption is the act of high society. For example, if a Sudi pulls a deal, Kenyans will be totally outraged and may lynch him in public. If the same deal was pulled by a Murathe, Kenyans would applaud/accept it as a class act. (5). Second, Kalenjin corruption is mainly a first-generation thing. With the exception of very cases, the Kalenjin who engages in corruption is the first in the family. Kikuyu corruption is generational, first, second, and third. The corruption chain in the Kikuyu society creates a corruption alibi and a false heritage of old money. The Kalenjin family has no such alibi. The moment he makes money through corruption, everyone will notice and cry foul. (6). Third, Kalenjin corruption is a consumption enterprise. Kikuyu corruption is seed capital for business. The former is difficult to hide. The latter is easy to hide. The former creates an outrage. The latter creates capital, some business and societal acceptance, and even rationalisation. (7). Four, Kikuyu presidents tightly regulate corruption from a class point of view. Poor Kikuyus are never allowed to steal from the state. Kenyatta never allowed. Kibaki and Uhuru never allowed it either. Kalenjin presidents, on the other hand, see corruption from an egalitarian viewpoint, an equaliser of sorts. Kalenjin presidents practice "corruption pluralism". Kikuyu presidents allow corruption to be undertaken by a few pre-screened players of second and third generation. For Kalenjin presidents, corruption is a communal empowering agenda. Everyone is allowed to pull it anywhere. Uhuru's boys were few... like the four dollar billionaires. Ruto's are infinite. Allowing who can steal from the state should be tighly regulated. Opening the floodgates like Moi and Ruto creates a stampede to loot ferociously...a recipe for anarchy. (8). Five, Kenyans tolerate/accept Kikuyu corruption and not Kalenjin corruption. Fact. Why? Because the Kikuyu faces that do corruption are familiar/known and are usual fixtures in Nairobi. On the other hand, the Kalenjin faces are new, unknown. Kenyans tolerate theft by the "neighbour" but rage and revolt when the face of the thief is a stranger. Another factor is the generational issue. First timers are generally resisted (9). Kikuyu Presidents don't allow third-party tribes (others, i.e., Luos, Somalia, kamba, etc) to participate in the big corruption. After all, this is the act of high class society and class is limited to their society. Kalenjin presidents allow third-party tribes to partake the looting of the state. One creates a small circle, the other a much bigger one. Perceptions and realities on corruption are informed by the numbers of the people who sit in the two circles. (10). Kalenjin corruption "is on your face". You see it. The patek philippe watch, the range rover, you see him move into your hood, your kids in school tell you they have new classmates whose father is a CS. Kikuyu corruption is hidden...a new farm in Karatina/Nyeri, don't move houses, children remain in same school...

@K24Tv Tribalism is with the leaders not the common person. "Mtu wetu"syndrome is a clarion call of all politicians after being caught in corrupt deals.

Kenyans urged to support Ruto’s efforts to unite all tribes

@Honcalebamisi Matumbo yao tu.

What do you learn from this photo!

@LarryMadowo Beggars and thieves have got no option. Stop pilferage and earn IMF respect.

African countries queued up “in a corridor” in Washington to ask the IMF for loans, Kenyan Finance Minister John Mbadi revealed, adding that he felt embarrassed and demeaned. “Then you’re called in one by one: Nigeria! Rwanda!”

@Kenyans Tell this to the state bloggers.
