Uhuru exonerates Raila from Jubilee’s Failure, supports his presidential bid in Sagana

President Uhuru Kenyatta met Mt Kenya regional leaders allied to Azimio La Umoja, amidst Kenyans outcry over increased food prices. Ruto and allies have attacked the government over augmented cost of living.

The President has declared open support for opposition leader Raila Odinga to the chagrin of the Deputy President William Ruto. Uhuru made known his intentions at the Sagana 3 State Lodge meeting.

Uhuru had in the past hinted his support to his erstwhile political nemesis, though, he hadn’t declared it publicly. Sagana 3 ended speculations of whether Uhuru would direct Mt Kenya region in a different direction or not.

His declaration of Raila’s support come months after Mt Kenya Foundation under the auspices of business moguls declared their support for the ODM leader. 

The President has been accusing his deputy over early campaigns, instead of working. Uhuru christened Ruto as ‘tangatanga, due to his energy of traversing the country in his popularization campaigns. 

“I told William Ruto that the time for campaigns would come, that there was time for everything. I told him that the time was time for working because work changes livelihoods,” Uhuru Kenyatta stated on February 23, 2022.

Uhuru defends Raila on Jubilee Failure

President Uhuru Kenyatta strongly defended ODM leader Raila Odinga from opponent attacks over the opposition leader’s dalliance with the State. He tactically absolved him from the recent spike of food prices in Kenya that led to public outcry using the hashtag of #lowerfoodprices on Twitter and Facebook. 

The President refuted claims that Raila is part of his government, while defending him that the he joined him when positions were already filled, with the other half gone to his deputy and allies.

Uhuru posed: “When I met Raila I told him I had shared half of my government and I did not have any positions to give him. I only wanted the country to be united, did Raila join government?”

Betrayal in Town

Uhuru publicly endorsed Raila at Sagana State Lodge in Nyeri, in a meeting that was attended by Jubilee delegates who are pro-Azimio.

As the adage would have it, there are no permanent friends in politics, but only permanent interests. Uhuru wants to leave a legacy of having protected the interests of a few wealthy persons, while his deputy is on a looting marathon eyeing the icy part of the national cake.

Rampant corruption has permeated every sector of public life, with Ruto being mentioned as the most corrupt political leader in the country. The Deputy President of Kenya is surrounded with a cabal of leaders who have been numerously mentioned in corruption cases.

How Human Noise Kills Marine Species, as revealed by Scientists

According to a report published in the Guardian, most of the marine life uses sound to catch prey as well as attracting a mating partner.  Prof Carlos Duarte of King Abdullah University in Saudi Arabia argued that: “Marine animal can only sea up to around 10 meters, smell up to around a hundred meters, but they can hear across the entire ocean basins.” The research concluded that sound “is very important in the marine ecosystems, and noise is pervasive, affecting animals at all levels .” The increasing cacophony in the marine habitat is interfering with how marine animals respond to various survival...

Why Ruto will heavily rely on Mudavadi, Joho in his reelection bid

 When Kenya president William Ruto was almost overwhelmed with gen z revolt, his landmark decision was to dismiss the entire cabinet. This occurred immediately after his refusal to sign the Finance Bill 2024/2025. Ruto endeavored to reconstitute a new cabinet, dubbed broad-based executive. He incorporated key opposition figures drawn from the ODM Party - a move that appeased the doyen of opposition Raila Amollo Odinga. Cabinet Secretaries drawn from ODM included: Hassan Ali Joho, Wycliffe Ambetsa Oparanya, John Mbadi Ng'onga and James Opiyo Wandayi. ODM is as good as dead, and Raila's age factor limits him from flying the Party's presidential flag again and has opted out by contesting as Africa Union Commission (AUC) chairman. President Ruto will heavily rely on two members of his cabinet in his reelection bid. Both Musalia Mudavadi and Hassan Ali Joho are billionaires going by their own assertion while appearing before the Parliamentary Committee on Appointments. President...
