President Ruto must immediately cease the wasteful, toxic appeals on reconstituting his Cabinet by the law.
If it is too difficult to obey the law, then he can as well RESIGN IMMEDIATELY.

For many years, Nairobi was a safe place for those running away from repression at home, refugees fleeing the ravages of war and for pro-democracy campaigners from the region and beyond.
This is no longer the case.
Kenya is increasingly becoming the abductors’ paradise and East African centre for transnational repression.
The security collusions of rogue states is eroding the stature of Nairobi as the haven of democracy and security.
The abduction of Ugandan leader Kizza Besigye Kifeefe and the recent abduction of Tanzanian activist Twaha Mwaipaya are just two examples of what is a now long list of State sponsored transnational abductions.
We must not let this continue.
We must restore Kenya's image and previously sparkling reputation as a safe community for democracy and human rights advocates.
Will this ease the hardship of wananchi or put food on their tables? The enthusiasm flooding government accounts and supportive bloggers raises a question: where is that same urgency when Kenyans demand affordable living, accessible healthcare and jobs?
A football match can attract visitors and generate business. Calling it “transformation,” however, requires evidence of lasting public benefit. Publish the costs, disclose the contracts and explain the returns. Kenyans deserve an account of what this investment delivers beyond the final whistle.
A stadium can host European giants. A government must still answer to ordinary Kenyans. Its performance must be judged by whether families can afford meals, patients can obtain treatment and young people can earn a living.
Citizens owe no apology for demanding accountability. Dissent is no sin, and public office grants no immunity from scrutiny. Wananchi are citizens with rights, not an audience whose applause government is entitled to. A televised spectacle is no answer to an empty plate.

Whatever the mind can conceive, it can achieve.
Two European footballing giants will go head-to-head before our very eyes at the region's newest sporting marvel: the Raila Odinga International Stadium.
We look forward to watching Bayern Munich take on Ajax on 5th January 2027 and ushering in a new era of marquee sports fixtures in this world-class stadium.
Congratulations, H.E. President @WilliamsRuto, on the great foresight and unwavering commitment to sports development in our country.
This is indeed a landmark moment in our sporting history.

On livestreaming Bunge only needs a one-line amendment as follows:
"IEBC shall, for verifiability, transparency, and to facilitate public information, establish a mechanism for the live-streaming of results as announced at each polling station."
Yes, it is that simple!

Congratulations, @chipadovani, on your election! Public office is a trust, never an entitlement. @FrancesNunziata, leadership also means knowing when to step aside. It is time to retire and make room for renewal. May this new chapter put York South–Weston’s residents first.

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has won reelection, defeating Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, an ally of President Donald Trump, in a razor-thin race that capped a deeply polarized presidential race. cnn.it/4i5iqxE

The amount of taxpayers money used to send the Kenyan delegation to UNGA alone could have been enough to pay lecturers currently on strike!
This is the kind of wastage that Hon. @dkmaraga wants to get rid of 💯 when elected as President!
Zero tolerance to corruption!

Former US President Barack Obama joined Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed at a Detroit rally ahead of key midterms.
Black residents make up about 75% of the city’s population. Obama denounced attempts to portray candidates as un-American over their faith or background.
