Fellow Kenyans/Wazuans,greetings to you all.

COVID has taught us that we can do without politicians(ok maybe partially).Why not use this COVID given opportunity to stamp that.For example by ignoring all politics coming in at this time.Ignore this thread till after we are declared COVID free.

Based on this lessons let us start discussing the Kenya we want at that point.

Do we need 18 MPs in Nairobi?Can we reduce them to 5 by dividing the city into East,West,North,South and Central.Do we need over 200 MCAs,can we have 10MCAs in each constituency to support their MP.

Do we need 47 Governors,can we resort to our 8 old provinces as counties

.Then all the monies saved from the reduced seats will be used to improve public health care and education.We should never be caught up in a situation like this one on COVID again where we are on panic mode worried that if the numbers rise we have no hospitals.Our congested public schools can be improved and more of them built.
I believe the people of this great republik can drive change.

When the next COVID strikes,100 years from now let our great grand children find a better prepared Kenya.

As the author of this piece. Instead of using the word fight. Can you be precise on where the actual fighting tool place and what caused the fight?
Has thare been a direct exchange of political fire between them if yes can we see videos or links or eye witness accounts.
how comes the politicians using and fanning this fighting remark are from ODM?
Let me elighten you in a very small but very important fact . The people from the mountain regions are very sensitive if tomorrow they woke up to find ruto actually and without a doubt that he is fighting our president. Raila wouldn't need BBI as a fighting tool anymore.
So far all is well our deputy president has stuck to his words. Mtu wa mkono wa rais. we the kikuyus will never forget that without him uhuru will not be president today. We all owe him. We have to pay that dept. Dawa ya deni ni kulipa.

@sqft, you sound exactly like hardwood who disappeared around the same time you started posting. I could be wrong but then again I could be right.

Hardwood was all over the green section until he suddenly went quiet then sqft appears suddenly with views mirroring his. Still looking for sqft's meaningful posts in the blue section. Yet to see any.

Yada, yada, yada.

“What Uhuru is doing to the DP belongs to an uncivilized generation.

We have seen tribal clashes in 1992, 1997 and a bad one in 2007-08.

We want to speak to the powers that be that we will not be taken in that direction again," he said.

The DP's critics have always said his troops were using threats of violence in his Rift Valley turf to coerce the Kikuyu community to back his presidential bid.

“If Uhuru wants to form a coalition with Raila, they can do without all this drama and humiliation of the DP and his allies.

Kenyans will decide who will lead them when the time comes,” Kabage said.

He said were it not for Ruto who campaigned vigorously for Jubilee Party across the country, Uhuru would not be the President.

And how did Kikuyus benefit from Uhuru’s presidency?
All the gains from Kibaki era have been eroded.
Wewe lipa ndeni kama uko nayo .

Away from public limelight, and stung by the realisation that those fighting him in the party are no pushovers, the DP on Friday summoned a clique of his politburo for a brainstorming session to chart the way forward.

They agreed on a number of action plans, including:

filing a suit in court to block the changes,

painting the other faction as corrupt and power-hungry,

moving in to secure Jubilee Party at all costs,

and increasing defiance by members of the Tanga Tanga group, who plan to take on President Kenyatta more viciously and,

as in the case of the 2017 tender leaks, directly.

The attacks on the president are not only meant to guilt-trip him by portraying him as a man who cannot keep his word on the promise to support Dr Ruto’s presidential bid, but also dig into the implication such “betrayal” portends to his community in future alliance-making, or what some politicians have christened “selling fear”.

To counter Dr Ruto’s open isolation from the running of government, bloggers who operate from his office have been hard on the government, poking holes in the report from the Ministry of Health on coronavirus expenditure and drawing parallels between Uhuru’s State House and the DP’s Karen office — that whereas one gave a provision for a bar, the other set up an altar for worship.

There is also heavy investment in propaganda warfare largely meant to make the government, rightly or wrongly, look corrupt and out of touch with the plight of the people.
