- I have always been an ardent admirer of @RailaOdinga but this latest move is totally baffling in the face of what's happening in Kenya... #RutoMustGo
- We have to give it to our Gen Z: they've achieved in 3 weeks what had taken decades to try and do. For now a giant leap in our civic hygiene. All done totally by Kenyans in Kenya and the diaspora. Cheered on by the rest of Africa without any outside help. #RutoMustGo #KOT
- That the demolition of the homes of over 5,000 residents of Kariobangi North Ward in Embakasi North can take place in the middle of an unprecedented pandemic lockdown demonstrates an official callousness and disregard for the lives and basic dignity of Kenyans that is staggering
- Yesterday's swearing in of Raila Odinga as People's President was accompanied by two dramatic lessons: the unprecedented crackdown on terrestrial media is a huge democratic reversal. Second, even 100,000 Kenyans can hold a peaceful event so long as the police DON'T show up.
- Behold Sir @iGaddo. Awarded Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by the government of France. Richly deserved for decades of humour and wisdom.
- @RailaOdinga would not have considered me as his running mate if he did not care about the issues that I have always stood for: good governance, honest and transparent government..
- An outage and really dumb thinking that arresting @DavidNdii at the Coast will stop ideas whose time may have come!!
- Trevor Noah and his Comedy Central crew on corruption in America vrs Africa
00:00 - For those who doubt there are clean, competent men and women in this government, there goes Edward Ouko who went in clean and competent and leaves as he came with head head high. Hongera!
