Dp Ruto is trying to use the fight against corruption for political expediency

By Hon Alfred letter

There are some politicians who are trying to use the fight against corruption for political expediency by evoking emotions among their tribesmen that they are being targeted.

When Dr. Evans Kidero was arrested and prosecuted over scandalous deals when he was the City governor, there were no Luos in Nairobi or Homabay who held rallies or issued press statements that they were being targeted. Kidero has been individually attending court sessions without dragging in his tribe.

When Hon. Ayubu Savula was arrested and prosecuted over fishy government advertisement deals, he has not called upon the Luhya community to criticize the EACC or DCI for targeting the Mulembe Community. Savula has been attending the court sessions peacefully in the company of his two wives while people of Lumakanda and Lugari continue with their normal business.

When Governor Sospeter Ojaamong was arrested on a Friday, locked in police cells, and taken to court, there was no single rally and funeral ceremony in Busia where people claimed that they being the minority were being finished. Our Teso shemejis went on with life without feeling that 'wanateswa'.

When the former Nairobi town clerk John Gakuo was arrested, prosecuted, convicted and jailed, there were no rallies or funeral ceremonies in Central or Githurai where our Kikuyu brothers and sisters criticized the government for weaponizing the fight against corruption against them. Gakuo spent his time comfortably in jail where he died. Neither did we hear his friends, family or community complaining that their community was being finished during his funeral.

When CS Echesa was recently fired by the President for colluding with fraudsters to con naive businessmen in the City, the Luhya community did not hold rallies or pressers to condemn the president in the name of finishing our community. Nobody was bothered.

When Prof. Mohammed Swazuri was arrested and prosecuted over suspicious land compensation deals, he fought his wars without involving his Muslim brothers nor the people of Kwale

When Senator Joy Gwendo was prosecuted and jailed for fleecing a Kisumu Sacco, she did not ask the people of Kisumu to rally behind her.

When three Nyeri County government ministers and the Chief of Staff were arrested, prosecuted and jailed over corruption, they didn't mobilize the Kikuyu community and condemned the government for targeting the people of Nyeri.

When Prof Tom Ojienda was arrested on a Friday and arraigned in court over corruption allegations, he didn't ask the people of Luo Nyanza to unite and be firm against their enemies.

Now, who are you? You steal billions and you drag in your community. What makes you more special than the rest of Kenyans?

The Kalenjin leaders should keep quiet and allow the DCI, DPP and EACC do the work they are mandated to!

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. 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...

Mr. Riley was already there when they arrived, sitting on the sand, eyes closed in a deep meditation. He was shirtless, wearing camouflage-patterned shorts similar to the ones The Spellbinder styled the day he appeared on the beach and a pair of rubber diving booties with smiley face emojis scattered over them. You would have been more than amused if you saw him in them. An assistant rushed out of the billionaire’s home the instant he raised a hand toward the heavens, displaying the universal victory sign.

THE CROWN YOU CARRY: A Letter to My LOVELY Daughter FROM THE HEART OF A MOTHER

My Dearest Daughter, As the sun rises over the hills of Limuru, casting golden rays upon the dew-kissed tea leaves, my heart swells with pride, hope, and the wisdom only a mother can carry. You, my beautiful girl, are in school, and while the world sees a student in uniform, I see a queen in the making. I see the grace of your grandmother, the fire of your ancestors, and the promise of a bright African dawn glowing in your eyes. This Easter, God granted me the sweet joy of bonding with you—not just as a mother—but as a woman who has walked a little further on this winding road of life. You may not know it yet, but in those laughter-filled mornings and quiet evening chats, a legacy was passed on: not of gold or silver, but of values, vision, and virtue. Let me speak to your soul now, daughter of mine. Listen with your spirit. In this life, my sweet child, “a child who does not listen to the mother’s advice will sleep with the flies” — a Ghanaian proverb as old as wisdom itself. The worl...
