@kiplagat_allan7 @calvinokello4 All were UDA strongholds. Compared to other parties, UDA got huge votes. Those have been eaten up. Where are Ruto's major strongholds? Remember in Mbeere, the difference was too little, almost 50/50 against DCP.

@isaonyango @calvinokello4 What about other regions where they have had by elections

How does UDA win these elections? Is it that they are really popular and DCP is just loud mouthed? Or are they rigging? And if that is the case, how? So they are rigging now without a trace. What will happen in 2027? Ruto has no competitor.

@calvinokello4 The dynamics are different and it is naive to. Make such a comparison. Raila was backed by Uhuru and other Kiluyus contrary to previous elections. What did Raila get in Uasin Gishu in 2022? What did Ruto get in say Homa Bay?

This notion that Gachagua getting 10k votes in Kale land is a positive i dictator to larger votes in the future is warped logic. Raila got 1.5 M Mulima votes. Guess who won? Bwana, you have not seen anything yet.

@Adele_lide Talk of Babu in comparison to Oburu.

Babu Owino is politically bigger than James Orengo and Edwin Sifuna, but unfortunately, he has reduced himself to being a puppet of Sifuna and James Orengo.

@TheODMparty ODM is now disseminating opinion poll results on behalf of TIFA? Maajabu.

We are the LEADERS

@calvinokello4 There was a general change in foreign policy among the colonial powers. Maumau couldn't defeat the British and even Kenya as a whole now can't dare engage the British in a fight. All those Maumau shenanigans delivering independence are nonsensical.

Kikuyus never gave us independence. The Maumau won nothing. Independence was given. The British Empire decided to leave out of their own volition. You want to tell me that Maumau had superior weapons against the British? The greatest empire the world has ever seen? It was time for independence, and they gave it to us. We did not take it from them.

@ntvkenya @jamessmat Agola is a living example that fools also speak foreign languages.

Agola Joash: If you own a phone above Sh8,000, that's a luxury and you should be taxed to contribute to the national growth. #TheLastWordNTV @jamessmat

@RobertAlai SHIF was poorly thought. The only sure contribution is that of people in formal employment. While health is a devolved function, national govt needed to partner with counties to sort out Human Resources for Health, infrastructure and other important pillars.

Senator Ledama, Public health insurance (like Kenya’s Social Health Insurance Fund – SHIF – managed by the Social Health Authority, SHA) is built on a simple but powerful idea: risk pooling + solidarity. It is designed to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) so that no Kenyan is left without care because they cannot pay. How it actually works 1Everyone contributes into one big national pool ◦Formal employees: 2.75% of gross salary (deducted at source). ◦Self-employed/informal: household contribution based on means-testing (minimum around KSh 300/month). ◦Government: pays subsidies for the poor, vulnerable, and indigent using tax revenue + the contributions collected.
This pool is not an individual savings account. It is a shared fund that pays for everyone’s healthcare when they fall sick. 2The healthy subsidise the sick
Most of the time you are healthy, so your contribution helps cover someone else’s hospital bill, treatment for cancer, dialysis, childbirth, road accident, etc. When you get sick, the pool covers you. That is how the system stays sustainable. 3The rich subsidise the poor
Higher earners pay more (percentage of income), lower earners pay less or nothing (government top-up). This cross-subsidy is what allows the government to cover the vulnerable without bankrupting the country. 4Private insurance is meant to be supplementary, not a replacement
SHA/SHIF is designed as the primary (first) payer. Private insurance can then top up the remainder (for faster service, private rooms, extra benefits, etc.). That is why the law requires everyone to contribute to SHA first. Without that mandatory base, the public pool collapses. This is the key point you may be missing in the current debate: •If people who already have private cover are allowed to opt out of SHA, the national pool immediately shrinks. •The people left in the pool are disproportionately the poor, the elderly, the chronically ill, and informal workers, exactly the high-cost groups. •This is called adverse selection. The fund’s costs shoot up while revenue falls. •Result: either (a) contributions for those still paying have to rise sharply, or (b) benefits are cut, or (c) the government has to pump in massive extra tax money just to keep it afloat. •In the end, the vulnerable you want to protect end up with either no cover or poorer quality care. Think of it like a community dam or a group medical emergency fund: if half the able-bodied neighbours refuse to contribute, the dam cannot hold enough water for the whole village when drought or illness hits. The government cannot magically “cover the vulnerable” without the broad base of contributions from everyone who can afford to pay something. The current coordination problem you raised You are right that the 30%/70% claims issue (private insurers waiting for SHA confirmation) is creating real delays and frustration for patients and hospitals. That is an implementation problem, poor coordination between SHA and private insurers, not a flaw in the basic principle of risk pooling. It can and should be fixed by clearer rules on how the two systems work together (SHA as primary payer, private as top-up, with fast digital verification). The solution is not to exempt people with private cover from SHA. The solution is to make SHA work efficiently so that private insurance genuinely complements it instead of clashing with it. Bottom line: A public health insurance system only succeeds when participation is broad and mandatory.

@tii_bag Industries differ. For some, no one would even bother looking at your certificates as the interviews are so competency based that weed out masqueradors. For some, they even want to see primary school certificates.

Those who have attended multiple job interviews, do jobs actually consider people with higher grades first or is it just a matter of having the degree?

@Realkangethe Riggy G is a master of double speak. Injustice has never been good whichever way you look at it.

Hapa RiggyG aliongea mpaka pastor wa PCEA hapo nyuma akaanza kupanguza machozi juu ya uchungu😭😭Mtumishi aliuliwa and the government that is supposed to provide security and answers is no where💔💔

@Kenyans The old man said this about Ruto

Rigathi can never be the president of this nation while I am alive - Francis Atwoli

@Kieni_vic Fraction defectives.

The condom cannot pass any liquid from the walls even if you put water inside it but the doctors says it protects you 99% where does the 1% risk come from?

@JmJuma1 Oparanya mwenyewe atafukuza 😂😂

William Ruto deployed all of his broadbes Cabinet Secretaries because Oburu na Wanga weshindwa kazi, CSs kufika ground wakapata swali bado ni jamo; mbona mnafukuza Omwami?🤣🤣 Ni kubaya💔

@gabrieloguda Jacqueline aside, where are the ODM MPs always following Ruto everywhere? Hawakuwa na habari?

Jacqueline Juma Akinyi - Daughter of Kano Kolwa - the first female Dean of Studies at Maseno School. Remember the name.

@Broadbasedgal The relegation will not only be to a Luo party but a fraction of Luo party. Wengi eameenda Linda Mwananchi.

The biggest fear is for ODM to be relegated to a Luo Nyanza party. Raila Odinga really worked hard to build ODM into a party with a national outlook

@calvinokello4 Matumbi is nutritious, don't be lied to.

Karen Nyamu is like Matumbo. Very delicious but zero nutritional value.

@gpdkaluma The same Party Leader that can't annount himself back to the Senate?

Did I tell you that Alionya is headed to the Senate? Well, here she is receiving anointing from the ODM Party Leader Dr. Oburu Oginga. Congratulations!

@Adele_lide We now wait for Linda Ground dimwits to come out that they are Gachagua's apologists.

ODM Leaders, led by Governors Gladys Wanga and Simba Arati, arrived in Utawala, Nairobi to condole with Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka following the loss of his mother, Teresa Nyaboke Omoke

@gpdkaluma The Gachagua story does not sell Wuo Asego. Sort out your issues. Linda Mwananchi imeenda na watu.

Before Gachagua told Sifuna to leave the ODM Party and abuse our Party Leader Dr. Oburu Oginga, EGH.

@GudaExperience Why do you overate this girl so much?

So let’s just say, if Roseline Alionya decides to face Babu Owino at the ballot, backed by strong machinery, disciplined management, and real financial muscle.. Don't you think she would smoke him early in the morning in his own backyard?
