Tuesday, February 9, 2021 – Murang’a Senator Irungu Kang’ata’s new style of politics looks weak and unreliable. Going by the Tuesday February 9 interview, Kang’ata who was appearing on the same Tv show with his former counterpart for Ndaragwa Mr. Jeremiah Kioni looked resigned and like a person who had been beaten to submission. For instance, it was very disturbing to hear someone who purports to have schooled Law to claim on live TV that locals in his area had advised him on BBI instead of him as a legislator advising them on what the Building Bridges Initiative BBI is.…
Sunday, February 7, 2021 -Building Bridges Initiative BBI politics have taken over the country and now its clear that two rival groups will be facing off each other in the Referendum.

Saturday, February 6, 2021 -There is no one who can wish anyone on this earth disability because with it, comes shortcomings. Anyone who falls in the category of disabled persons must be considered and accorded due respect so that he or she can fit in the society with the rest of us. But this again must however not be the a license to let them abuse others’ rights. Limits and boundaries must be observed.

Speaking in Malindi and Kisauni Constituencies on Friday February 5 where he attended a series of rallies, the DP reminded ODM, Wiper, ANC and Ford Kenya Parties that the if they don’t put their house in order this early, they will be caught up with time the same way it happened in the past two elections which they lost.

Thursday, February 4, 2021 -Deputy President William Ruto played a key role in trying hard to make sure Raila odinga’s 2007 presidential race becomes a reality. He too helped President Uhuru Kenyatta to win elections twice. Ruto at the moment is arguably the most popular politician who can win a presidential race against some of his obvious rivals. This is because since their election into power, Dr. Ruto never allowed himself to sit down like the rest of the Vice Presidents did. He always claimed to be the bonafide principal assistant to the president and therefore had to work all…
To understand the new politics stance and other pro nationals of recent times, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement of the latest generation.

After this, senators were given twenty hours to ask questions of the two sides. Anthony…
Thursday, February 4, 2021 -There are some Kikuyus who have been voting Raila Odinga every elections though quiet few in number. He should however not give up. Odinga is unpopular in Mt. Kenya Region and that is not in any doubt. His name is not so good on the ground because of misinformation peddled on him by his political enemies who fight day and night to disfigure is face. They have managed for a long time to rebrand him so that to look bad in the eyes of their ignorant locals. Odinga, however, should not lose sight. He should this…
Wednesday, February 3, 2021 -The ongoing high tempo political rivalry in the country can be so worrying that this is happening when elections are 17 months away. Deputy President William Ruto and former Premier Raila Odinga are already out there putting together their troupes ready for the duel that may still end being a 2022 two horse race. Ruto has been all over the country since he was elected; while Odinga on the other hand gave this chase a pause in the name of Handshake but it seems time for Tangatanga to continue to enjoy free playing field is over…
