ALLOWING ELECTED LEADERS TO TRADE WITH THE GOVERNMENT WILL PROMOTE CORRUPTION.



The ongoing conversation on the Conflict of Interest Bill proposal is something that we should all pay attention to.

This bill that seeks to allow elective leaders to apply for government tenders will be the end of Kenya.

It will breed corruption and misappropriation of funds. Imagine a farmer somewhat in Trans Nzoia with one thousand bags of maize will have no place to sell since the politicians will have allocated themselves tenders in the NCPB.

The law should be strict on senior government leaders who have intentions of trade illegally with the government.

Imagine allowing governors to bid for tenders advertised by their county governments ?

Where will the common mwananchi earn a living ?

We should avoid trying to turn the government into a business conference where people fight for power so that they can trade.

We all know what is happening in the corridors of justice on the case against Former Migori Governor Okoth Obado and his sons.

Even relatives of the elected leaders should not be allowed to do business with the government.

Let's be fair in everything or Gen Zs take the matter into Parliament once again.

               RAILA AND CURSE OF OPPOSITION IN KENYA. There is this one country in the world where no matter how people vote, they will never have an opposition leader. This literally means that the cries and pleas of the minority will have no one to articulate them to the ruling government. That country is..... Oooh, did I just hear you say Kenya ? That's right, the country is Kenya. Since gaining independence in 1963 , the country has never had a serious opposition despite having strong "opposition leaders" over the years. We can only have notable mentions like the Late Martin Shikuku and Keneth Matiba. It's either because of the totalitarian regime or to others reasons only known to the leaders. The  constitution spells out clearly that after the general election, the runners up of the presidential seat shall form the opposition which then will help citizens in keeping the government in check. This has never been the case here. The only time we can feel like the o

 WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF GEN ZS. Yesterday's protests sent out warnings to the tribal kingpins who have been using tribes as a way to lead that come 2027 things will be different. And today was also  the same in Mombasa.  Let's wait for tomorrow where the ''finals'' will be held in Kisumu. The protests were led by the '' Young Kavirondo Tax Payers Association ''  popularly known as  Gen Zs who went out on the streets to protest against the proposed finance bill. This pushed the government to the extent of revising the bill or rather removing the decoy in the form of 16% VAT on bread What I found inspiring about this is that social media plays a big role in the mobilisation of youths. This is a different generation of people who according to them, they know their rights. The worst is to come in 2032 when the Alphas and the Gen Zs come together to create a very courageous force that cannot be bribed with fifty bob. The protests were a blessing to B

 WHY ODM IS JOINING RUTO TO SURVIVE. First, ODM was a national party, with 8 tribal representatives from 8 now scrapped provinces. At coast, it was Najib Balala, now coast is gone, it doesn't belong to ODM. In central, it was Joseph Nyaga, central nologer thinks ODM. In Eastern, it was Charity Ngilu. Eastern went away with Kalonzo. In western, it was Mudavadi, now in government, and western is gone with Ruto. In rift valley, it was Ruto, now president. Gone forever. In Nairobi and Nyanza, Raila roared. He never roars in Nairobi. Even his Nyanza turf is now a shell of the past.  ODM has remained a luo party, and not all Luos ascribe to ODM. That's one reason ODM must join Ruto to survive. And since Ruto helped create ODM, Ruto will finish ODM completely.  ODM has been surviving and reinventing itself through demonstrations. It's leader, Raila Odinga, is the sole force to sermon demonstrations, and religiously, both educated and uneducated, heeds his call and comes ou
