@KenyanSays This is the longest “You’re damaging your brand” statement coupled with I’m looking for a Job I’ve ever heard.

@Adele_lide Leadership can’t be sexual transmitted. We need to stop with political hereditary. She will be ok raising her kids and managing her late husband’s wealth. The people of Dikrr should find another representative amongst themselves who will represent them on merit.

@lincentochieng @gabrieloguda Good example is the 77 Somalis arrested for defrauding the Govt in Minnesota. They weren’t rounded arrested then investigation done Investigation was done, evidence led them to suspects. Suspects have been charged & given due process. Same evidence shared with Gen public
English

@lincentochieng @gabrieloguda Being arrested while they try to figure out who committed the crime or even if there was a crime committed by who at what time in which manner supported by these indisputable facts. You can’t tell me how they do investigation abroad.. I’m speaking from a position of knowledge.
English

@lincentochieng @gabrieloguda 3) Lastly investigative authorities have all the tools & resources including power of subpoena to do through investigation before taking or limiting anyone’s freedom . Let’s change how we think so we can change how we are governed.
English

@lincentochieng @gabrieloguda 2) And I’m not saying the West system is perfect .. You can go to Jail on fabricated or wrong evidence but at least you’re arrested & charged on basis of that evidence not arrested then go look for evidence as to why you’re arrested.
English

@lincentochieng @gabrieloguda Set aside the premise of innocent till proven guilty..My point is don’t arrest until you have enough evidence to charge. Don’t arrest then investigate.. Investigate then based on investigation findings & evidence charge the suspect. Apparently some weren’t even at that party

English

@oh_taz @gabrieloguda if it wasn't an accident,then ofcourse most of them are innocent. But forensic evidence will ascertain the facts.reason why they are still being held.

An attack on Dr. Oburu Oginga’s leadership of the ODM is an attack on Baba’s judgement and on the party structures he carefully built over the years. Every decision Baba made regarding the future of the ODM led to Dr. Oburu’s confirmation as party leader. He remains our leader, and we shall defend him as fiercely as we defended His Excellency Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga, C.G.H.
A new faction of cunning legislators and influential actors is spending heavily to manufacture an ODM narrative trying to change and erase his leadership. We shall recognise no other centre of authority in this party. No amount of money, bullying, or the cynical invocation of “reform” will move us.
Let it not be forgotten that it is his wisdom that has preserved some of you within the ODM fold. He has steadied the Chungwa ship and redirected it toward inclusivity and the consolidation of gains at a time when others were issuing ultimatums and plotting their own paths. His judgement kept the house intact.
Regardless of your position or your proximity to power, on matters Chungwa, focus on your work and allow our party leader to execute his mandate. That is the discipline that built this movement, and it is the discipline that will secure its future.

Not sure why @MikeSonko dragging his son-in-law on camera is meant to achieve.
Solid men don’t allow their daughters to continue staying in abusive relationships. They pick them and take them back home.
