Do not leave Mau until RUTO apologizes to RAILA ODINGA - ISAAC tells KALENJINs

Deputy President William Ruto now faces a serious rebellion in Kalenjinland after embattled Bomet Governor, Isaac Ruto,told Kalenjins to ignore him.Speaking at Emorijoi Africa Gospel Church in Narok County, the Bomet Governor told Kalenjins residing in Mau Forest not to leave as ordered by the Deputy President, until he apologizes to former Prime Minister Raila Odinga for demonizing him during the Grand Coalition Government when he tried to evict Mau settlers to save the water tower. Isaac said Ruto is playing double standards by demanding for the eviction of Kalenjins from Mau when he vehemently opposed it at the time when Raila Odinga was doing it. He urged the settlers to stay put telling them not to allow the Deputy President intimidate them. “Ruto is the biggest hypocrite I have ever met, when Raila Odinga tried to evict people from Mau, he opposed and now that he is in Government, he wants to do exact same thing; this cannot be allowed and I want to urge you not to vacate the forest until he comes clean about it,” said the Bomet Governor. “We will not allow some few individuals to use Mau as a political tool and that’s why I will stand firm and ensure President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy, William Ruto, do not harass families residing in Mau,” he added. Ruto parted ways with Raila Odinga when the former PM tried to evict people from Mau to save Kenya’s largest water tower, a decision that Ruto never agreed with.

We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. 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...
