RUTO vows to start a revolution to topple UHURU’s Jubilee Government as he declares war

kenyas-president.jpg The Government of President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy, William Ruto, is in deep trouble after Governors declared war against it over the latest move by the President to kill devolution. This is after Uhuru gave executive powers to County Commissioners and ordered them to take charge of their respective counties, a move that has rendered Governors jobless as far crucial functions in the counties are confirmed. The authority include chairing of crucial county Security Meetings and reporting directly to the President. Led by chair of the Governors Council, Isaac Rutto, the Governors warned of a revolution against Uhuru/ Ruto’s Government accusing Jubilee of plotting to kill devolution. Rutto said as Governors, they will never accept County Commissioners to chair security meetings in their Counties because that is their work. “Giving County Commissioners powers to chair security meetings is against the law and we do not support such a move”, said Rutto. The Bomet Governor trashed Uhuru’s orders as roadside declarations, which have no place in the 21stcentury. “Days of the executive giving orders and powers via roadside declarations are long gone. We will move to court as the law must be respected”, he said. He renewed calls for a national referendum to strengthen County Governments. The Kenyan DAILY POST

There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Freedom: The One Thing Gaddafi Could Not Give — And the One Thing No Government Can Take Away

For years, the collapse of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi puzzled many observers across Africa and the world. How could a country with high living standards, generous state programs, and a strong economy turn so swiftly against a leader who appeared to have delivered materially for his people? This question is not just about Libya. It speaks to a deeper truth about governance, legitimacy, and the limits of developmental authoritarianism. It speaks to Africa’s political future. And it speaks directly to the crossroads at which Kenya now finds itself. --- The Libyan Paradox: Prosperity Without Liberty Before the 2011 uprising, Libya’s economic and social indicators were strikingly strong for the region. Gaddafi’s Libya boasted: Free education Free healthcare Subsidized housing Cheap fuel High employment An extensive welfare system These were not myths. The United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) of 2010 ranked Libya 53rd in the world and first in Africa. Even today, that ranking stands...
