I’ve just watched a shocking clip of Kipchumba Murkomen trying to reduce the anger of matatu drivers to tribal politics.
According to him, they are protesting today because William Ruto is president, but stayed silent under Uhuru Kenyatta.
Really?
Fuel was around 135KSh under Uhuru Kenyatta.
Today it's 242, and people shouldn't protest because Ruto is president?
The good doctor had a very beautiful wife, its a shame that he died in a side gals home,men please kuna miaka ikifika unaacha usherati unatulia home na wajukuu! you cant be out there competing na vijana wa 35 years on who can finish how many rounds tafasaliiii, we are out here getting ashamed on your behalf,sawa?

PROGRAMME:
Friday 20th Feb 2026
10am body leaves Jaramogi Oginga Oding Hospital, Kisumu.
1.00pm Requiem Mass at St. Austine Catholic Church.
6.00 pm Night vigil at home in Majengo, Yimbo.
Super petrol price down by 4 shillings a litre.
The price has dropped gradually from a high 218 shillings to the current 178 shillings, ( a net difference of 40 shillings), providing relief for households and sustaining the macro economic stability of the last three years.
Govt introducing amendment of the law, no more Pay as You Earn (PAYE) tax for all the 1.5 million working Kenyans who earn 30k and below, another half a million Kenyans earning 50k and below will have their PAYE tax reduced from 30% to 25%.
Ni Faya si Faya?
Soon, Kenyans will be able to purchase brand-new vehicles at the same price, or even lower, than importing an eight-year-old used vehicle.
This shift is already taking shape, and we congratulate Isuzu for putting Kenya on the global map as the first country to manufacture the MU-X model outside Thailand.
With local assembly attracting tax incentives, the price of the MU-X will drop by 27 percent, from KSh 13.5 million to KSh 9.9 million.
For the first time, Kenyans can access a brand-new, zero-mileage vehicle at a price they have traditionally paid for a used import.
This is the narrative we are changing through the Automotive Policy—moving Kenya from a used-vehicle market to a brand-new vehicle market.
The Samurai Bond, which will finance local manufacturing of vehicle components, will further reduce vehicle prices.
Also, the government’s leasing programme is encouraging local assembly and parts manufacturing, with vehicles that have higher local content enjoying better tax incentives.
Present were Mr Junichi Kubo, President, Isuzu Motors International; Rita Kavashe, Managing Director, Isuzu East Africa; H.E. Hiroshi Matsuura, Ambassador of Japan to Kenya; and Dr Juma Mukhwana, Principal Secretary, Industry.

Stop over-feeding on carcasses over the festive season, and asking me why I do not have a public opinion (toad tummy). Have you ever seen an obese chimpanzee? We just eat fruits and vegetables.
'For the Record,' my journey in politics is intertwined with the birth and growth of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).
When ODM opened its doors twenty years ago, we, including H.E. President @WilliamsRuto, were among the founder and ranking members who believed that Kenya deserved a wider democratic horizon and a louder, freer voice.
It is through that party that I first set foot in Parliament in 2007, to represent the people of Dujis Constituency.
Over the years, political paths have shifted, alliances have realigned and today I proudly serve under the United Democratic Alliance (UDA). But in all these seasons of change, one truth has never left my compass: the D. Democracy. It is the thread that has stitched together every chapter of my public life.
And when we speak of Democracy in this country, we speak the name of one man who lived for it, suffered for it and insisted that no Kenyan should ever fear their own voice: The Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga. Baba.
His life was a long walk through sacrifice, bruising battles and unending courage. There were moments he carried the weight of an entire nation on his shoulders. Moments when he bled so that the rest of us could breathe freely. Even when we disagreed, even when the country wavered, he did not. He stood, sometimes alone, sometimes wounded, but always firm in the belief that Kenya must never shrink its freedoms. That is his enduring gift.
And now, even in death, we owe him the same thing he fought for all his life: The protection of our democratic space.
As ODM marks twenty years of shaping our political landscape, I join them in celebration, not as a mere member, but as a grateful beneficiary of its history, its courage and its vision. The party gave me my first platform of service and that is a debt I acknowledge with humility.
H.E. President William Ruto, too, has held high the value of Democracy, but he has also added a new weight to that letter D: Delivery. Democracy must speak and Delivery must answer. That is the Kenya we are now building. A country where freedoms are protected and services reach the people who deserve no less.
And so, on this anniversary, I honour ODM for its two decades of shaping our politics, nurturing leaders and expanding the democratic frontier. Parties may change and paths may diverge, but the legacy remains.
In the grand canvas of our politics, colours often tell stories. Orange shaped my early steps, Yellow guides my work today. And truly, these colours are not opposites. They carry the same hope, just in different shades.
Yellow might be the future we saw in Orange!
Happy 20th Anniversary to the Orange Democratic Movement; two decades of struggle, sacrifice and steadfast belief in our democracy!
