POLITICS AND GUNS



As today courts remain closed in respect of the late Magistrate Monica Kivuti, who was shot during a court session. We call upon the government to start taking this gun violence thing seriously.

                                               The Late Magistrate Monica Kivuti.

The national government has been reluctant to deal with cases related to gun violence if the violator is an elected member or a prominent politician.
They tend to blindfold us when conclusive evidence is presented.
Last month, the member of Parliament of Gatundu South Gabriel Kagombe was involved in a shooting melee where it is alleged that the bullet that killed the young man was fired from his gun.



The government " investigated" thoroughly and even devised ways such as taking him for a mental check to see if he was alright.
He was released on bail after rejecting all charges against him. Lets hope he rejects the Finance bill the same way he rejected all allegations against him.
The government wants to have all its MPs during the voting day so he has to be out. The case is as good as the closed.

On the day of the election in 2022, Kimilili Mp Didmus Barasa shot the aide to his main competitor, left for Nairobi, waited for "mtukutu lais" to be sworn in and then denied being at the station during the time the incident occurred.
No thorough investigation was carried and the case seems closed despite the young losing his life.

Babu Owino was also involved in the same mess, but luckily for him the victim survived and they made amends but still, that didn't help. Leaders should show restraint when confronted with anger.

During last year's opposition protests, Nakuru West MP Samuel Arama was seen threatening the civilians with a gun. The government turned a deaf year despite human rights organizations calling for his arrest.

The feud experienced in Kisii was the one to remember. Sylvanus Osoro and Simba Arati were going too far. The use of guns by the security team paints a bad picture of the politicians. Four people were injured in the process.

There have been many scenarios where guns have been misused by politicians. We all know how Aisha Jumwa dealt with a heckler during the rally.

All I want to say is that throughout this, I blame the judiciary for being partial and weak.
They are supposed to fight for the common mwananchi instead of enjoying power life.
Let's see how they will handle this, but remember all life is equal in the law.
We've seen police officers shooting innocent civilians yet the Judicial system is quiet. Now the war is at their doorstep.

BABU IS MAKING A BIG MISTAKE. Over the past one week, President Ruto has been traversing through the Nyanza region 'launching projects' and also attending the homecoming ceremonies of the ODM Cabinet Secretaries from the region. He has enjoyed massive suppport from the hostile ground and he even could not believe when he saw how the KDF or rather Kondele Defence Force welcomed him in the famous Kondele Roundabout. This shows how the game of politics is . There are no permanent enemies but rather differences of personal interests. Now , there was one character that boycotted the rallies enirely. Hon. Babu Owino decided to stay in Nairobi and support the ever changing Kalonzo Musyoka. In my opinion, Babu miscalculated .   It would have been GOOD for Babu Owino if he attended the homecoming ceremonies of the Luo Mps in Nyanza. Why ? Charity begins at home. He must consolidate home first before he tries to consolidate the nation. He should at least pretend to be with Baba until th...

  RAILA HAS DESTROYED GACHAGUA. Why is it that when Baba Raila Odinga 'visits' any government, it is the deputy presidents that suffer the most? Does Raila replace them? Does he take away their positions and importance? Or do presidents feel secure with Raila by their side, hence feel no need for their deputies? Or are the deputies using the same old tactic of playing the victim to win sympathy from Kenyans? Which is which? Because Rigathi Gachagua is now claiming that he has been through worse than the then deputy president William Ruto, who is now his boss? What does Raila do to these regimes ? Watching the interview where the Dp lamented that he is being mistreated by Ruto's close allies, I really felt bad for him. H e further emphasized that his woes started when Raila entered the government. So what is that thing that Raila does to deputy presidents ? Raila is unique, He comes into government with a battalion of Mps, Meaning any alliance with him the president i...

  What really happened in Endarasha ? Over the last one week Kenya has been through some things that look like Hollywood. The Adani story, the blackout occurrence and then the Endarasha Hillside incident. Today I wanna talk about the Endarasha story. This thing should not be taken lightly as there is more than meets the eye. Now picture this, kids are asleep , and I mean all of them went to bed according to the management.  Fire breaks out in the dormitories and the kids start screaming but no one heard them. Emergency door was allegedly locked from outside hence hindering the escape plan. Remember that this school has watchmen on duty and there's administration at the scene. The first people to arrive at the scene are the politicians. Now ,I think that this is a conspiracy to cover for more damages. Sixteen kids died at the scene while six died later from the burns . The school failed to locate several kids and even goes ahead and stops parents from taking their kids back hom...
