URP MPs plan MASS RALLIES as Kalenjins DEMAND return of Kiplimo Rugut to NYS

39699-nan-pix-198x133.jpg The sacking of former NYS Director Kiplimo Rugut from the helm of the National Youth Service has attracted the ire of Kalenjin leaders who now demand the man be given his job back. Several charged rallies are planned for North Rift region – Deputy President William Ruto’s strongest hold – in what has already rattled both Ruto and President Uhuru Kenyatta. Callers in the powerful Kass FM spent the better part of yesterday warning DP Ruto over his perceived ‘coolness’ even as members of his community are axed from top government positions and systematically replaced by Kikuyus, their erstwhile partner in the jubilee alliance. Yesterday, Rift Valley MPs led by outspoken Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter and his colleagues William Cheptumo (Baringo North), Julius Melly (Tinderet) and Elisha Busienei (Turbo), Samuel Moroto (Kapenguria) insisted that the removal of Rugut was prompted by the urge by a section of leaders to engage in corrupt dealings.

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.
