Gachagua Set To Consult Uhuru On Best Opposition Candidate

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has announced plans to hold high-stakes consultations with retired President Uhuru Kenyatta before the United Opposition coalition settles on a single presidential candidate to challenge President William Ruto in 2027.

Speaking on Saturday, July 11, 2026, during a consultation meeting at his Wamunyoro residence, the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) leader revealed that the meeting with Uhuru will take place after he completes a self-imposed 45-day tour of the Mount Kenya region to gather views on the area’s political future.

Comparing Notes for Mount Kenya’s Direction

Gachagua stated that he intends to present the feedback from his regional tours to Uhuru, seeking his counsel before making any major declarations regarding the opposition’s path forward.

“I am working together with my elder brother, Uhuru Kenyatta. After finishing these consultations, before saying anything else, I will consult Uhuru Kenyatta so that we can compare notes.” — Former DP Rigathi Gachagua

The move signals a major political rapprochement between the two leaders, who famously fell out during the 2022 General Election when Gachagua successfully campaigned alongside William Ruto against Uhuru’s preferred successor, Raila Odinga.

Internal Rifts Over the 2027 Ticket

While the opposition is united in its goal to field a single joint candidate to take on President Ruto, the coalition is already fractured by internal wranglings and strategic disagreements:

A faction within the opposition is demanding that the flagbearer be named immediately to establish a clear campaign path. Conversely, Gachagua and his allies argue that the candidate should be named as late as May 2027. They warn that exposing their candidate too early will give the state machinery ample time to divide and destabilize the coalition. Individual principals are already making their preferences known. Notably, former Attorney General Justin Muturi has bypassed other contenders to endorse Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka for the top ticket.

With Mount Kenya increasingly viewed as a crucial battleground, the upcoming sit-down between Gachagua and Uhuru could prove decisive in shaping the opposition’s ultimate strategy.

‘Wakenya Hawatakula Maneno’- Uhuru Calls Out Ruto To Address The Current Economic Situation

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has broken his silence on the state of the economy, issuing a blunt demand to the Kenya Kwanza administration to prioritize the skyrocketing cost of living over political theatrics.

In a rare and direct address to the current leadership, the former Head of State singled out fuel prices and transport costs as the primary engines of a “suffocating” economic climate that is pushing ordinary Kenyan households to the brink of collapse.

The “Kenyans Can’t Eat Words” Warning

Uhuru dismissed the government’s reliance on political rhetoric and infrastructure promises, arguing that development and speeches are meaningless if citizens cannot afford basic necessities.

“Kenyans will not eat words, education, or build roads with just talking,” Uhuru stated. “The issue is simple; Kenyans are complaining because of the high cost of living. It does not have tribalism or anything else; it needs all Kenyans.”

He emphasized that economic policy must translate into tangible relief at the dinner table, noting that the current pressure cannot be solved through blame games or looking into the rearview mirror.

Breaking Down the Household Crisis

To illustrate the depth of the financial distress, the former President provided a grim breakdown of the monthly budget for low-income earners. He noted that for a Kenyan earning a Sh20,000 salary:

  • Sh8,000 is consumed by transport costs (linked to fuel prices).

  • Sh10,000 (approx.) is swallowed by rent.

  • Sh2,000 is left for food, school fees, and emergencies.

“The situation leaves families with very little disposable income,” he warned, adding that many are being pushed into deep and irreversible financial distress.

A Call for Unity Over “Tribalism”

Uhuru accused a section of leaders within the ruling administration of fueling ethnic divisions and inciting the public to distract from economic failures. He urged the government to abandon its “confrontational” stance and instead foster a collaborative environment to fix the economy.

“Do not talk about tribalism and other things. If you want us to help solve the problem, then reach out; we solve, but blaming others will not work. Let us sit together and solve. When the country has a problem, it involves all of us,” he added.

Rising Tensions and Civic Unrest

The former President’s remarks come in the wake of nationwide demonstrations where Kenyans have taken to the streets to protest the relentless rise in fuel costs.

Uhuru concluded by warning that political intolerance and the incitement of ethnic divisions by government officials risk undermining national peace and cohesion at a time when the country is already socially fragile due to economic hardship.

“We Are Risking A Return To 2007” -Uhuru Breaks Silence To Warn Against Rising Politics Of Division

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has issued a scathing warning against the resurgence of tribal profiling and divisive politics, reminding current leaders that hateful rhetoric could easily plunge Kenya back into the catastrophic ethnic violence witnessed in 2007.

Speaking on Monday, May 25, 2026, at the Kiambu Golf Club during a high-profile meeting with Jubilee Party delegates, the retired Head of State broke his political silence to address both the country’s turbulent governance landscape and the relentless battle for the control of his political party.

“Our Troubles Were Brought to Us”

Addressing the internal fractures that have plagued the Jubilee Party since he handed over the reigns of state power, Uhuru fiercely defended his record, claiming that the endless leadership squangles were externally sponsored to destabilize his camp.

He revealed that his prolonged stay at the helm of the party was entirely against his original plans, explaining that state-backed court battles over party ownership forced him to hold on to the chairmanship.

“Tumekuwa na matatizo nyingi kwa chama chetu, lakini matatizo yetu ni matatizo ya kuletewa (We have had many problems in our party, but our troubles were brought to us),” Uhuru asserted. “Hadi leo mimi bado nashikilia uongozi wa chama kwa sababu walinizuia… ningekuwa nimewaachia kitambo (Until today, I still hold the party leadership because they blocked me… I would have handed it over a long time ago).”

Undeterred by the judicial gridlock, the former President announced a massive grassroots re-registration drive to completely reorganize the party from the constituency level up, promising a free, fair, and democratic internal election to usher in a new generation of leaders.

A Stark Warning on the Ghosts of 2007

Turning his attention to national cohesion, Uhuru expressed grave concern over what he termed as unchecked “politics of division” being peddled by senior government figures, often in the presence of top national leadership without any public condemnation.

He drew a chilling parallel between the current political environment and the prelude to the 2007/2008 post-election violence, where reckless political declarations ultimately sparked nationwide bloodshed.

“Tumeanza kuona wengine wakianza siasa ya mgawanyiko… wakiongea mbele ya viongozi wa nchi, na hakuna mtu anasimama kuwaambia (We have started seeing others engaging in divisive politics… speaking right in front of the country’s top leaders, and no one stands up to tell them off),” the former President lamented. “Tusipoambiana ukweli tutarudia makosa… ya mwisho tuliona 2007, na ilianza kwa maneno watu wanaongea (If we don’t tell each other the truth, we will repeat past mistakes… the last time we saw this was in 2007, and it all started with the words people spoke).”

Focus on the Cost of Living, Not Division

Reaffirming that Jubilee remains a national movement rather than a regional faction, Uhuru called on the political class to cease using intimidation and discrimination as tools to consolidate regional voting blocs.

He urged the administration to read the room, stating that ordinary Kenyans are not angry because of political alignment, but are pushed to the brink by punitive economic pressures and the skyrocketing cost of living—realities that the government must unite to solve rather than distract citizens with ethnic balkanization.

Uhuru Kenyatta donates Kshs 1 million for Betty Bayo’s funeral costs

Posted on by Ozymandias

Former president Uhuru Kenyatta has touched the hearts of many Kenyans after donating KSh 1 million to support the family of the late gospel singer Betty Bayo.

Bayo, a celebrated worship artist whose music moved countless listeners, died after a private battle with cancer — an illness many only learned about after her sudden passing. News of her condition and death sent shockwaves across the country.

During a recent gathering, gospel musician Ben Githae revealed that the former head of state had stepped in to help with funeral expenses.

“After Uhuru Kenyatta donated KSh 1 million for the burial through the Kenyatta Foundation, he also requested the names of Betty Bayo’s children so the foundation can sponsor their education,” Githae said.

Support Arrives as Family Fundraises

The generous donation comes as Bayo’s family continues raising funds to give her a dignified farewell. Her ex-husband, Pastor Victor Kanyari, publicly thanked the former president for the gesture.

Kanyari — who shares two children, Sky Victor and Danny, with the late singer — had earlier shared heartwarming videos of him spending time with his son.

He has previously spoken about their co-parenting arrangement, noting that despite the ups and downs of their former marriage, they worked peacefully together for the sake of their children.

“She was a very good woman, even in terms of co-parenting,” he said. “I have been paying the children’s school fees, and we collaborated on many issues without disagreements.”

Kenyans Applaud Uhuru’s Goodwill

Kenyans online were quick to praise Uhuru’s intervention, leaving comments such as:

  • “The God she served will never leave her children to suffer.”

  • “Uhuru has been sent by God to settle this matter once and for all.”

  • “Her dream was quality education for her kids — and God has provided.”

  • “Why assume their father cannot provide? He’s been present all along.”

The reactions reflected both gratitude for the assistance and recognition of Kanyari’s ongoing role as a responsible parent.

Kanyari Shares Tender Moments With His Son

As tributes continue flowing, Kanyari has been sharing more personal moments with his children. In one recent clip, he is seen playing football with his son Danny — first inside the house, then outside on a well-manicured lawn.

The touching father–son moment is set to a soft, emotional Octa Sounds track, with Kanyari echoing the words shown on the screen: “Nitakupenda milele.”

Pastor Defends His Role as an Active Father

The video emerged shortly after Kanyari addressed claims that others could take over caring for his children following Bayo’s death.

He questioned why anyone would seek custody while he is alive, present, and providing for them.

Kanyari also acknowledged that Bayo’s widower, Tash, has every right to stay connected with the children, noting that he lived with them and treated them well during Betty’s lifetime.

Uhuru Sidesteps Matiang’i, Confirms Jubilee Will Field A Presidential Candidate In 2027

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

Former President and Jubilee Party leader Uhuru Kenyatta has signaled the party’s firm intention to contest the 2027 General Election, but he notably sidestepped speculation that former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i would be unveiled as the presidential flag bearer.

Speaking at the Jubilee Party National Delegates Conference (NDC) at Ngong Racecourse in Nairobi on Friday, September 26, 2025, Uhuru made it clear that the political outfit is preparing to mount a serious campaign.

“We shall be preparing for the next general election and doing so in earnest, and it remains our firm intention to field the best possible candidates for all elective positions,” Uhuru told delegates.

Jubilee’s Political Game Plan

 

While the question of the presidential candidate remains unanswered, Uhuru outlined Jubilee’s strategy, suggesting that they are open to collaboration. He stated the party would contest elections “either on our own or we shall do this in consent with like-minded political movements.”

The former President stressed that a revitalized Jubilee must serve two critical purposes in Kenya’s political landscape:

  1. Platform for Visionary Leaders: To provide a suitable platform for aspiring, visionary leaders to offer themselves in service of the nation.
  2. Vibrant Options for Citizens: To present Kenyan citizens with a vibrant set of options from which to elect leaders, in line with the country’s democratic ideals.

Uhuru also noted that the final decision on whether the party will remain within the Azimio coalition will ultimately rest with Jubilee’s delegates. For now, the question of who will lead the party’s presidential ticket in 2027—and the political future of Fred Matiang’i—remains unresolved.

I stand with Kenyans! Uhuru breaks silence after today’s deadly protests

Posted on by Ozymandias

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has issued a statement regarding the ongoing anti-Finance Bill protests, expressing his condolences to the families of those who lost their lives during Tuesday’s unrest and affirming the constitutional right to protest.

Uhuru’s Full Statement

My fellow Kenyans,

I come to you with a heavy heart, saddened by the loss of lives caused by the current situation in our country. It is the right of every Kenyan to protest, as determined by the constitution we all promulgated in 2010. It is also the duty of leaders to listen to those they lead.

At this trying time for our country, I want to remind all leaders that they were elected by the people. Listening to the people is not a choice but a mandate enshrined in the principles of our constitution and in the very basis and philosophy of democracy.

Leaders must understand that the power and authority they have is donated to them by the people.

ALSO CHECK OUT:

https://www.ghafla.co.ke/ke/uhuru-kenyatta-donates-millions-to-help-flood-victims/

I, therefore, call for calm and urge the leadership to show restraint and do the right thing by listening to the people and not being antagonistic toward them. Violence on either side is not the answer.

As your former president, I have felt the weight and difficulty of leading Kenya. I, therefore, pray for wisdom and civility to prevail and for peace and progress to belong to all of us as children of Kenya.

Dear Kenyans, I stand with you and ask our leadership to embrace dialogue and speak to the people, not at the people. I pray for peace and understanding from each and every Kenyan, and for all of us to remember that Kenya is bigger than any one of us; there is nothing cast in stone that cannot be changed.

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta Requests UB40’s Song To Celebrate His Birthday

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta celebrated his 62nd birthday on 26th October with a unique request on the D-day.

To spice things up on his birthday, Uhuru shared her sentiments & request via radio .

In an interview with Kameme FM’s Muthoni wa Kirumba, Kenyatta sounded jovial and full of life as he led a singalong of “Happy Birthday.” He expressed his gratitude for the birthday love and prayed for continued good health and peace for Kenya.

When asked to request his favorite song, Kenyatta did not shy away from his love for reggae music.

“Which song by UB40 would you like me to play for you?” the presenter asked Uhuru.

He chose UB40’s “I Got You Babe,” which can be seen as a declaration of love and collective solidarity, especially during difficult times.

UB40 is one of the most popular reggae groups of all time, and their cover of “I Got You Babe” was sampled 20 years after its original release in 1965 by the iconic duo Sonny and Cher.

Kenyan Court Adjourns Hearing on Revoking Gun License of Uhuru Kenyatta’s Son

Posted on by Ozymandias

The Firearms Licensing Agency has denied revoking the firearm certificates of former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s sons, Jomo and Muhoho. The agency has stated that the case is based on unfounded speculations.

Senior Counsel Fred Ngatia, representing the Kenyatta sons, had sought the intervention of the courts to protect them from alleged illegal actions by the arms agency.

The Attorney General has also requested removal from the proceedings since no specific orders are being sought against their office.

The case was scheduled for a hearing on Wednesday, September 27, but was adjourned to October 11, 2023, to allow the parties to file their responses.

In his case filed in July, Jomo Kenyatta implored the court to intervene and prevent the state from revoking his firearms license “without following the due process outlined in the Firearms Act.” He expressed concern that the authorities had demanded he surrender his firearms on July 21 without providing any reasons.

He emphasized that the grounds for revoking a firearm license, as outlined in the Firearms Act, cannot be invoked without affording the license holder an opportunity to be heard, which aligns with the principles outlined in the Fair Administrative Action Act.

According to court documents, Jomo Kenyatta’s license remains valid until April 27, 2024.

The move to disarm Jomo Kenyatta came after Interior CS Kithure Kindiki’s announcement on July 25, stating that 23 firearms were recovered from three residences in Karen, Nairobi. This followed an operation launched after it was established that civilian gun holders supplied weapons used during demonstrations.

Jomo Kenyatta has asserted that he has adhered to all the regulations since he was issued with the firearms.

The outcome of this case will be closely watched by many Kenyans, as it has implications for the rule of law and the rights of gun owners.

Uhuru son targeted by Ruto regime moves to court over gun licenses

Posted on by Ozymandias

The High Court received a plea from hn Jomo Kenyatta, the son of former president Uhuru Kenyatta, contesting the government’s decision to withdraw his firearms license.

John J. Kenyatta, the son of former president Uhuru Kenyatta, has pleaded with the Milimani Law Courts to get involved in an urgent issue and prevent the state from revoking his gun license.

He begs that when the Chief Licensing Officer, the Firearms Licensing Board, and the Attorney General apply for his license, “the due process set out in the Firearms Act” be adhered to.

In court papers, he argues that the action to cancel his gun license is an infraction of section 5(8) of the Guns Act. He asserts this via attorney Fred Ngatia.

He claims that despite having a license, he has not been informed of the reasons for the impending revocation.

Police ordered that Jomo surrender his weapons on July 21, but no justification was given, according to Jomo.

When Jomo questioned the offices about the possible causes of the sudden demand for his weaponry, they pretended not to know.

He pleaded with the court to get involved because he is worried about possible strong-arm techniques being used.

Despite having a license, he contends that he has not been told of the reasons for the planned revocation.

“The grounds upon which a firearm license can be revoked are provided in section 5(7) of the Firearms Act, which when read with section 7 (2) (a) (v) of the fair administrative action act, cannot be invoked without being afforded an opportunity to be heard,”

Jomo claimed that his constitutional rights would be violated unless his application was promptly admitted for a hearing and the requested orders were granted.

His license is valid until April 27, 2024, per court records.

The case has not yet been heard.

Interior CS Kithure Kindiki announced on Friday that 23 firearms had been found in three homes in Karen, Nairobi, as a result of an operation that had been started after it was determined that the weapons used in the demonstrations had been provided by civilian gun owners.

“Today afternoon, an operation has been going on targeting three homesteads within the Karen area where a total of 23 firearms, some of which are suspected to have been used in illegal activities are kept,”

Former president Uhuru Kenyatta has since been in public to defend his family from the attack, daring the state to confront him rather than go after his family.

Uhuru swore he would protect his family at any costs.

Uhuru Kenyatta Accuses Authorities Of Using Raid On Son’s Home As An Attempt To Plant Guns & Drugs.

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

Kenyatta, who spoke at a press conference at Jomo’s home in Karen on Monday evening, said he was hurt by the raid and had been forced to stay at his son’s home to prevent further incidents.

He said that both of his sons own licensed firearms, but that neither of them has been asked to surrender them to the authorities.

Kenyatta said that he believes the raid was an attempt to divert attention from other issues and that there was no basis for the allegations against his son.

Kenyatta’s press conference comes after a week of controversy surrounding the raid on his son’s home. The raid was carried out by police officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on July 21, 2023.

The DCI said that the raid was carried out in response to a tip-off that Jomo was in possession of illegal firearms. However, no illegal firearms were found during the raid.

The raid has been criticized by some as an attempt to target Kenyatta and his family. The former president has denied any wrongdoing and has said that he is confident that the truth will come out.

Sikuwa nimelewa! – Uhuru reacts to criticism over his defence of his son after abortive government raid

Posted on by Ozymandias

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has responded to criticism from some Kenyans following his address to the media at his son’s Karen home on Friday.

In a meeting with senior editors on Monday, Kenyatta said he was infuriated by the manner in which the government of President William Ruto was treating his family. He said he went to Karen after receiving a call from his eldest son, Jomo, who informed him that detectives were about to raid his house.

“I went there because of a distress call from my son; I was not drunk. I was extremely hurt,” Kenyatta said.

The former Head of State said his two sons have six guns whose licenses they applied for after he handed over the office. According to Kenyatta, the government did not renew security detail from his two sons, putting them at risk, hence the need to apply for gun licenses.

Kenyatta also said the government is using the issue of guns to divert the attention of Kenyans from the reality of the situation.

“This gun issue is surrounded by lots of propaganda to divert attention from what has been happening,” he said.

Kenyatta also dismissed allegations that he is funding the ongoing demonstrations by Azimio la Umoja – One Kenya Coalition, saying he has nothing to do with the protests. He stated that it is the opinion of Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga to defend the issues raised by Kenyans.

“It is his opinion that he is defending what the people of Kenya wants,” Kenyatta said.

The former President also said he will be available for talks with President Ruto only if he is invited, adding that during his time, he sought advice from his predecessors.

“I have always said that I am ready to talk to anyone, but I will not be the one to initiate the talks,” Kenyatta said.

Kenyatta’s response to the criticism has been met with mixed reactions. Some Kenyans have supported his stance, while others have criticized him for being defensive.

It remains to be seen how the situation will develop in the coming days.

Try Jesus, but don’t try me, Uhuru Kenyatta tells Ruto

Posted on by Ozymandias

Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta has warned Deputy President William Ruto against attempting to hijack the Jubilee Party. Speaking at the Jubilee Party National Delegates Conference on Monday, Kenyatta said that he would not be moved or shaken by threats.

“There are those who think their work is all about threats. I want to tell them to try others, not me,” Kenyatta said.

Kenyatta went on to say that he had considered resigning from the party as party leader.

“My thoughts had told me to relax on politics and go attend to other duties. I thought that today at this meeting that I would resign and said that my time is up and elect other leaders,” he said.

However, the party leader said that Jubilee will remain strong and united as one.

In February this year, Uhuru confirmed his stand in the Azimio La Umoja Coalition. He affirmed that he is still a member of the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party, despite his silence.

“Retirement doesn’t mean I’m tired. Others retire and increase their political strength,” Uhuru said.

“Even though I have retired from politics, I’m still a follower of Raila. If he asks me we go we have to do it. I supported him and I will continue doing so because I believe he is truthful,” Uhuru said.

The Retired head of state further affirmed his support for Opposition chief Raila Odinga and insisted that he will support him.

Kenyatta’s remarks come at a time of heightened political tensions in Kenya. The country is scheduled to hold general elections in August 2022, and the two main political parties, Azimio la Umoja One Kenya and Kenya Kwanza, are locked in a fierce battle for power.

Ruto is the leader of the Kenya Kwanza Alliance, which is seen as the main challenger to Azimio la Umoja One Kenya. Ruto has been accused of trying to hijack the Jubilee Party in order to use it as a platform to launch his presidential campaign.

Kenyatta’s warning to Ruto is a clear sign that he will not allow the Deputy President to take over the Jubilee Party. The Retired President is determined to ensure that the party remains united and supports his preferred candidate, Raila Odinga.

Uhuru finally addresses stolen sheep!

Posted on by Ozymandias

Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta has broken his silence on the theft of sheep from his Northlands farm. Speaking at the Jubilee Party National Delegates Conference on Monday, Kenyatta said he had chosen to remain silent while the Kenya Kwanza leaders “took advantage” of him. However, he said that his silence had only led to abuse, theft, and the burning of people’s farms.

Kenyatta was referring to the theft of nearly 1,500 Dorper sheep from his farm on March 27, 2023. The sheep were stolen by a group of men armed with machetes and other crude weapons. The theft took place during a protest called by the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition.

At least 50 of the stolen sheep have since been returned to the farm. The animals were returned to the farm at different times by people who told staff there they did not want to be cursed.

Kenyatta said that he would not be cowed by the theft of his sheep or the other attacks that have been carried out against his supporters. He said that he would continue to fight for what he believes in, even if it meant facing opposition from his political opponents.

“I will not be intimidated,” Kenyatta said. “I will continue to fight for what I believe in, even if it means facing opposition from my political opponents.”

Kenyatta’s comments come at a time of heightened political tensions in Kenya. The country is scheduled to hold general elections in August 2022, and the two main political parties, Azimio la Umoja One Kenya and Kenya Kwanza, are locked in a fierce battle for power.

The theft of Kenyatta’s sheep and the other attacks on his supporters are seen by some as an attempt to intimidate him and his supporters ahead of the elections. However, Kenyatta has vowed to remain undeterred and to continue to fight for what he believes in.

18 of Uhuru Kenyatta’s stolen sheep returned

Posted on by Ozymandias

Uhuru Kenyatta Muigai’s Northlands farm was raided by criminals who were spurred on by the utterances of senior government officials who called for a raid on the former president’s property and this resulted in the destruction of property, theft of livestock and trees as well as arson as these criminals set everything they couldn’t carry ablaze.

Internet uncovers identity of man who stole from Kenyatta farm

 

Well, he seems to have received scant respite as 18 of his sheep have reportedly been returned. The reason given for the change of heart among the criminals OR the unsuspecting members of the public who bought the sheep is due to the unique marks on the sheep and fear of curses for their actions.

Uhuru Kenyatta's Farm Invaded By Unknown People

Uhuru Kenyatta has yet to publicly respond to either the criminal activities on his farm nor the return of some of his stolen property. Time will tell what his chosen course of action was and this might land a lot of people; both criminals and unsuspecting Kenyans in very hot water.

Any just seems as if the former president cannot get away from losses this week as on Monday his family property at Northlands was invaded and livestock was stolen as the fauna was destroyed with arsonists eventually burning down everything.

It seems to be open season on President Uhuru Kenyatta as the establishment has on several occasions given speeches that have emboldened the criminals responsible for these activities.

The police had also said that they were launching investigations to find out who the masterminds of the attack on the Northlands Farm were. But one has to wonder whether that was pure lip service.

 

It seems like Uhuru Kenyatta needs to get himself and his properties armed guards because the Sitting government has no interest in protecting his property.

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Ruiru farm has reportedly been intruded by unknown people. According to reports, the farmland was invaded by people who used power saws to cut down tress and set the farm on fire.

The motive of the attack is yet to be fathomed, but tweeps have alleged that it has to do with politics.

The attack come at a time when the protests are ongoing.

Vice President Rigathi Gachagua had accused Uhuru Kenyatta of funding the ongoing protests as a way to turn netizens against him.

This has led to many speculating that there’s beef between them and Gachagua might be involved in the invasion.

Below are screenshots of how tweeps reacted to the invasion;

Ever wondered how the Uhuru Kenyatta family lives? Like how they relate, are they more than friends and family? And does the president and First Lady take turns in bay sitting their grandkids or that the work of Nannie’s?

Uhuru with eldest son and daughter

Well, if you do – believe me you’re not alone. I also have answered questions about this powerful family.  Who is the hard headed one among their kids and now that two are already married – do they have fights? And does Uhur Kenyatta help in solving their family issues Ama kila mtu na mzigo wake?

Anyway the questions are many and I am not hoping to get answer anytime soon. With that said, guess what…. We finally have a never seen before photo of Uhuru Kenyatta grandson from his firstborn son, Jomo Kenyatta.

Although this is not the first time Uhuru Kenyatta is stepping out in the company of his daddy; this time around the two year old accompanied his daddy for the flagging off of the WRC Safari rally.

As seen on the photos, the toddler stepped out in a white and blue striped shirt and is seen wearing a white cap – while his papa is seen in a blue and jungle shirt – probably to match that of his son.

Well- it’s not everyday we get to see the Kenyatta family out with their kids but here are photos of Jomo with his baby boy.

Pastor Migwi cries uncontrollably while begging President Uhuru (Video)

Posted on by Brian Onyango

Pastor Godfrey Migwi, the founder of House of Hope Church in Kayole, went live on Facebook on Saturday where he shed tears while urging President Uhuru Kenyatta not to ignore the plight of the poor.

Migwi, a former radio presenter, said he went through many challenges when he was young and it really pained him to see people, including elderly women, who woke up early in the morning to vote for Uhuru suffering.

“Uhuru is just sitting in State House, people are suffering because of corona and unemployment and he doesn’t seem bothered. People are sleeping hungry, others want to kill themselves,” he narrated.

Pas;tor Godfrey Migwi

Migwi revealed that he had received many messages from his followers about their problems and he was doing what he could do to help while the president seemed unbothered.

He also weighed into the Ruai demolitions asking why Uhuru was quiet on the matter yet some of the people who were now spending nights in the cold were given land by his father.

“He is also a human being like any other, he should have humanity. No one with a sense of humanity can evict people at a time like now,” he added.

Further, Migwi stated that he could not sleep because of the many things; that were going prong under President Uhuru’s watch and vowed not to be silenced because he is not afraid.

“China is colonising countries by lending them money they can never repay” City preacher urges Uhuru to open his eyes

Posted on by Martin Oduor

City preacher has sent a strong message to president Uhuru Kenyatta as he joined other African leaders in Beijing, China for the 2-day annual Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) which kicked off on September 3rd.

Bishop Godfrey Migwi of House of Hope in Nairobi warns Uhuru against taking loans from China, the preacher says China is practicing debt colonization by giving poor countries more money than they could ever pay back.

Already Chinese president Xi Jinping has pledged an extra $60 billion or Kes 6 trillion to Africa. Uhuru is seeking a  further 380 billion shillings from China for the construction of Phase 2A of the Standard Gauge Railway from Naivasha to Kisumu.

Open your eye

Migwi highlighted instances where some countries were forced to surrender their assets to China after failing to pay debts. He mentioned Sri Lanka which formally handed over the strategic port of Hambantota to China on a 99-year lease in December 2017 after struggling to replay loans.

The city preacher thinks China is salivating after the ports of Mombasa and Lamu and that they will give Kenya massive loans which the country will fail to pay and in return give up the ports of Lamu and Mombasa.

Below is the post written by Bishop Godfrey Migwi;

#whistleblower from a wise person at the tree top ….my advice to Our President Uhuru Muigai kenyatta please be aware of this highly populated country called China, this money (debt) they’re lending to us and the world is a sweet lollipop but later we will be left with kasmall stick after the sweetness is finished, the BEBT for infrastructure the Chinese are using it as tool to colonize us , to take the port of mombasa and other part of the country, it’s a matter of time they will demand a military base in Kenya …..mark this date ..the large part of the world will be under Chinese kingdom the enemy number one of USA, in the bible they’re not mentioned directly but I can tell the world why.

EMPIRE OF DEBT, China is colonising smaller countries by lending them massive amounts of money they can never repay in bid for world domination’

Defaulters have been pressured into surrendering assets and territory or allowing military bases on their land

CHINA is “colonising” smaller countries by lending them massive amounts of money they can never repay but later they must pay by other means

The country is accused of leveraging massive loans it holds over small states worldwide to snatch assets and increase its military footprint.

Countries around the world owe huge sums to President Xi Jinping’s China

Developing countries from Pakistan to Djibouti, the Maldives to Fiji, and Africa at large all owe huge amounts to China.

Already there are examples of defaulters being pressured into surrendering control of assets or allowing military bases on their land.

This is called “debt-trap diplomacy” or “debt colonialism” – offering enticing loans to countries unable to repay, and then demanding concessions when they default.

China has the world’s largest military for in your information, when I was in America one American solder revealed to me that in the whole world they only fear china in matters of war

Owing more than $1billion (£786million) in debts to China, Sri Lanka handed over a port to companies owned by the Chinese government on a 99-year lease.

And Djibouti, home to the US military’s main base in Africa, also looks likely to cede control of a port terminal to a Beijing-linked firm.

Chinese navy officers

America is eager to stop the Doraleh Container Terminal falling into Chinese hands, particularly because it sits next to China’s only overseas military base.

Debt-ridden Sri Lanka’s Hambantota port is which China recently seized

Participating countries like kenya and other’s often undertake work on roads and ports with part-funding from China.

More recently, China’s debt empire has been rearing its head in the Pacific, prompting fears the country intends to leverage the debt to expand its military footprint into the South Pacific.

Beijing’s creation of man-made islands in the disputed South China Sea for use as military bases suggests the concern may be warranted.

China will always defend its lending practices, saying they are “sincere and unselfish”, and will insists that it only lend to countries that could repay. Ni hayo tu Raisi wetu, Kenya na dunia yote

“I make this request as a father to a fellow father” Babu Owino pleads with president Uhuru to listen to the cries of Kenyans

Posted on by Martin Oduor

The new fuel prices has increased the cost of living condemning more Kenyans to poverty. The cost of transport has increased and it’s also expected the prices of basic commodities will go up.

National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich implemented 16 per cent tax on fuel even after parliament voted to delay the implementation.

Babu Owino has since written an open letter to president Uhuru Kenyatta after CS Rotich went on with the illegal implementation.

Our society struggling

Babu Owino with Uhuru Kenyatta when they attended Mzee Jomo Kenyatta’s memorial on 22nd August 2018

The Embakasi East MP earnestly pleads with the president to reverse the illegal implementation of the 16 per cent tax and save Kenyans from the increased cost of living.

OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT UHURU KENYATTA ON SOARING PUBLIC DEBT & ITS EFFECT ON ORDINARY WANANCHI

Your Excellency,

I recall vividly that just over a month ago you made the prudent decision to suspend new projects until old projects are completed. While some circles were critical of this decision, as a young Parliamentarian, I welcomed it as a move that would instill discipline in the Executive arm of Government while ensuring tax payers’ money is well spent and accounted for. I also felt that the country had already over extended itself in terms of large capital intensive projects and needed some time to offset existing debt before moving on to new initiatives.

I have since then followed the trajectory of the nation’s financial management over the past few weeks with consternation. I note that during your visit to the US, it was made public that your government is borrowing the sum equivalent of 450 billion shillings for the construction of a six lane highway from Mombasa to Nairobi. I further note that in your visit to China, your government has taken on a further 380 billion shillings in debt for the construction of Phase 2A of the Standard Gauge Railway from Naivasha to Kisumu. This totals close to a TRILLION shillings in new debt in the span of ten days.

During this period, we have seen the Treasury Secretary, Henry Rotich, purport to implement an illegal tax on the people of Kenya no doubt to finance our growing debt obligations. I do not hesitate to call the tax illegal because Parliament voted to amend the Finance Bill and suspend the implementation of the proposed sixteen percent value added tax on fuel. Parliament is the supreme law making organ of the land as per the Constitution of Kenya 2010 and as such any attempt by the Executive to levy a tax not approved by the August House is both illegal and unconstitutional.

I therefore write to you on behalf of the young people of our society struggling on a daily basis to make ends meet. I write to you on behalf of our mothers, stretching themselves to the limit, to ensure their families do not sleep hungry. I write to you on behalf of future generations, to whom we have a deep and solemn responsibility not to burden with a hopeless future. I write to you in regard of the untimely sixteen percent value added tax on fuel proposed by your Treasury Secretary.

Your Excellency, as a young person and as a leader, I pledged to support you in your efforts to unite the nation and build bridges. I further pledged to help you secure your legacy in your final term as President in the spirit of your Handshake with my Party Leader, H. E Raila Odinga and indeed, in the spirit of our own personal handshake within the precincts of Parliament during your state of the nation address. I therefore take this opportunity to request you to assent to the Finance (Amendment) Bill 2018 and save our people from the difficult times such a tax promises.

We as Parliament have read the mood of the people and realized that the Bill as initially proposed would portend untold suffering amongst the most vulnerable in our society. Our people are already overburdened with the high cost of living. The introduction of such a tax at this time would only serve to make their lives more unbearable.

I make this request as a father to a fellow father, for the sake of our children and our children’s children, let us seek to find innovative ways to reduce public expenditure and wastage instead of raiding the pockets of ordinary wananchi.

I and the youth of this nation look forward to your positive response on this matter.

Yours faithfully,
Hon. Babu Owino,
MP, Embakasi East Constituency,Secretary General Kenya Young Parliamentarians Association &The People’s Watchman.

 

 

Uhuru afraid of Museveni? Kenya’s president speaks on the fate of Bobi Wine in Washington, D.C.

Posted on by Martin Oduor

President Uhuru Kenyatta had an exclusive interview with BBC’s Zeinab Badawi during his trip to Washington, D.C. where he held talks with US president Donald Trump at the White House.

Badawi pressed Uhuru to address the issue of Kyaddondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine who was arrested, tortured and slapped with treason charges.

“As well as being president of Kenya you are also leader of a very important country in East Africa and I put it to you that one issue that is in the news very much is the fate of Ugandan opposition MP Bobi Wine. I would like to know whether you have raised his plight with president Museveni, he is now released on bail on charges of treason,” Zeinab Badawi asked Uhuru.

Kenya doesn’t interfere

Uhuru made it clear that he hadn’t raised Bobi Wine’s plight with president Museveni. The Kenyan president stated that his country doesn’t interfere with the internal affairs of other countries.

“Kenya is not a country that seeks to really to interfere with other people’s or other country’s issues. We are a country that encourage democratic processes but we also understand every country has its own challenges. What we would say is that Kenya would like to see is where political competition is allowed without intimidation and we preach that message but we say that where there are differences please let us ensure those differences don’t result in violence, exactly what I said to Raila Odinga. In short ours is to encourage democracy and a peaceful solution to whatever differences may exist. But Kenya DOES NOT interfere just like we are also keen with other people interfering with our own domestic issues, and what we encourage is internal resolution to internal problem,” said Uhuru.

Boniface Mwangi: Jomo Kenyatta and Mama Ngina Kenyatta are thieves, if Uhuru is not a thief prove it

Posted on by Martin Oduor

Boniface Mwangi has come out all guns blazing to dare president Uhuru Kenyatta to prove he is not a thief or benefits from corrupt practices.

The daring Rights Activist claims the president is shielding corrupt individuals from his side of the coalition from being persecuted.

“A time comes when the truth must be told. Is the President of the Republic of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta , part of the gang of thieves stealing from us? Before you start throwing stones at me, hear me out. All Kenyans agree that the Deputy President William Samoei Ruto is a known land grabber and thief extraordinaire. His name is synonymous with looting. Now, if you look at all corruption scandals over the past five years, you notice that in any theft that involved people from Uhuru’s side of the coalition, the thieves walked scot free – NYS 1, Afya House Scandal, etc,” wrote Boniface Mwangi in part.

It’s all stolen

Boniface further claims all the wealth the Kenyatta’s have made is all stolen. He states that Jomo Kenyatta and Mama Ngina Kenyatta didn’t work hard for their money.

“We all know his father Jomo Kenyatta was a thief, a man who left jail with nothing, but managed to grab over 500,000 acres. The Kenyatta family was involved in elephant poaching and the ivory trade. Uhuru and his mother, Mama Ngina Kenyatta, have been on the list of Africa’s richest dollar billionaires. None of them worked hard for any of that money. It’s all stolen,” wrote Boniface in part.

https://www.facebook.com/BonifaceMwangiBM/posts/2039201372766417

No fear, death is for us all

In a separate post, Boniface states that he is not afraid to name and shame corrupt individuals regardless of the consequences. He stress that everybody will eventually die some day.

“People take life too seriously! We shall all die. The thief, the jobless, the president, the activist and the saint, our eventually end is death. Stop fearing death and live your life. Fear is fake! Fear is imagined! Fear is of the devil! Speak Courage Fluently! #TeamCOURAGE for life,” wrote Boniface.

President Uhuru’s son admits to smoking weed, denies being a womanizer

Posted on by Martin Oduor

President Uhuru Kenyatta’s adopted son Daniel Owira ‘Otonglo’ reveals he was a victim of peer pressure during his first year in campus.

For starters, Uhuru adopted Owira in 2013 after a stellar performance at the drama festivals. Owira’s hilarious creative narrative impressed the president so much that he chose to adopt him.

Five years later, Campus Vibe caught up with Owira to shed light on his life. The president’s son admits to smoking weed during his first year in campus.

“I gave in to peer pressure while in first year. I did smoke weed, but it made me feel useless. Luckily, God intervened and I stopped. That was a sad period in my life,” said Owira.

Ladies like me

Owira denies claims that he is a seasoned skirt-chaser. He explains that the fact that women love him does not necessarily mean he is a womanizer.

“I know I am a handsome and God-fearing young man, so you can’t blame me when ladies like me. I just have a connection with people and they love me for who I am. Does that make me a womaniser?” Said Owira.

Owira further reveals that he last met Uhuru two years ago. He says the president is always checking up on him through the Kenyatta Trust.

 

 

Flood disaster is caused by Uhuru’s failure to obey calls for national thanksgiving – pastor Godfrey Migwi 

Posted on by Martin Oduor

Torrential rains continue to pound several many parts of the country causing floods, destruction of property and displacement of thousands of people.

Several Kenyans have died since the heavy rains started in early March. House of Hope Church pastor Godfrey Migwi attributes the flood disaster to president Uhuru’s failure to heed calls for a national thanksgiving.

Pastor Migwi says the president led Kenyans in a national prayer for a peaceful election, and after the election the country simply moved on and forgot to thank God.

“Hello Kenyans being one you this the message, for sure and I know everyone knows God really need special thanksgiving day, He is waiting for our country thanksgiving sacrifice country wide directed by the president himself , 1, it will be part of National healing, 2, it’s a sin not to give thanks to the Lord if He has done great,
Remember just 5 months back we were crying to God to give us peace, president directed all Kenyans to cry for the Lord because the country was burning and headed to wrong direction , tribe’s were divided religious leaders were carried away by political wind, but after winning this battle through prayers and fasting no one seem to care about God. Now it’s business as usual, Governor’s misusing county money #its our time to eat,Doctors mistreating patients, students #ifikiewazazi, eating, sex and polygamy is what in the mind of Kenyans , #handshakepolitics #2022politics, succession politics, referendum debate, woi Ngai,” wrote Pastor Godfrey Migwi.

Pastor Godfrey Migwi

Special thanksgiving day

Pastor Migwi implores president Uhuru and his government to once again lead Kenyans in a national  thanksgiving prayer. He says the country’s problems can only be solved through interdenominational prayers.

“Please Mr President with all due respect Uhuru Kenyatta, deputy President William Samoei Ruto Office of the President – State. Harambee House, give directions to all Kenyans to set one special thanksgiving prayer day, remember this is not a one religion duty or any denomination , it’s not about big men’s and women’s of God, major or minor prophets, kadhis, Bishops or Fathers, vichas or deacons or pastors it’s about God and God alone He is the one only to receive this honor and praises

“Many may slap me the way prophet Micaiah was slapped by prophet Zedikiah for speaking the truth but it’s ok, some can argue and say any preacher or denomination can arrange thanksgiving to their congregations sawa, but that not the way, the same president that gave directions and he himself prayed , he is the one to give directions to preachers, leaders and all Kenyans to give God thanks wherever they’re ,

“With a lot of pain in my heart tears in my eyes knowing what God did to our lovely nation I have done my part , shalom, shalom as we obey the voice of most High God if not consequences may follow, God bless Kenya,” wrote pastor Godfrey Migwi.

 

 

Furious Robert Alai returns state commendation awarded to him by president Uhuru

Posted on by Martin Oduor

Robert Alai has finally fallen out with president Uhuru Kenyatta. The controversial blogger announced he will be returning the Head of States Commendation (HSC).

In December 12th 2017 Kenyans were taken by a rude shock because of the names of people who were awarded Head of States Commendation (HSC).

Also read: Mbusi defends state commendation awarded to him by president Uhuru

Alai was awarded the HSC for pledging allegiance to Uhuru. He dumped Raila and started supporting Uhuru and he was rewarded for his move.

The fall out

Alai has halted his support for Uhuru because of betting tax. The Treasury finally sobered up and proposed to cut gaming tax from 35% of revenue to 15%. Last year gaming giant SportPesa withdrew all sports sponsorship following a tussle with the government over the 35% corporate tax imposed by the government on gaming income.

Gor Mahia was among the teams affected by SportPesa’s withdrawal of the sponsorship. But Robert Alai supports the idea of over taxing betting firms.

“I can’t support the government any more. You can’t lower taxation on betting / GAMING. From today, I have completely withdrawn my support for President Uhuru and his government. We are killing the youth of this country through this uncontrolled betting craze,” a furious Alai tweeted.

The blogger went on to announce that he was returning the HSC awarded to him. He said Uhuru should be ashamed to allow tax reduction for betting firms.

“With reduction of tax on betting, I will gladly return the HSC award. You can’t kill a generation with betting which you are not willing to regulate. @UKenyatta you should be ashamed to allow this to happen. You are killing young people with this betting craze,” Alai tweeted.
