This “Matiang’i was 13 in 1981” defence is village level nonsense, because nobody is accusing a 13-year-old boy of starting the Ruaraka land saga, people are asking why a grown Cabinet Secretary in 2017 authorised payment for land that the Court of Appeal has now confirmed was already public land. The issue is not when the historical dispute began, the issue is what happened when public officers in 2017 and 2018 approved payment of Sh1.5 billion for land occupied by Drive-In Primary School and Ruaraka High School, with the court now saying NLC had no legal basis to compulsorily acquire land already owned by the State. Saying “NLC wrote to the Ministry so Matiang’i just paid” is not a defence, because public officers are not rubber stamps hired to move billions whenever another office writes a letter, especially when the money belongs to taxpayers and the land in question carried schools and public use history. Even EACC previously blamed Matiang’i and Belio Kipsang for the loss of Sh1.5 billion in the Ruaraka school land saga, so this thing was never just some blogger gossip or political noise created yesterday to attack a man who now wants to look clean. The earlier whistleblower account also claimed the alleged sharing list went beyond Matiang’i, naming Muhammad Swazuri, Salome Munubi, Belio Kipsang, William Chepkut and Githu Muigai as people allegedly marked for different cuts, which is why reducing the debate to Matiang’i alone is another clever distraction. The same material pointed to the AG’s Chambers as a major enabler, claiming weak defence, suppressed or omitted documents, negotiated settlements instead of straight appeals, and legal opinions that helped give cover to repeated compensation claims around the same Ruaraka land. The Court of Appeal has now destroyed the soft defence, because if the land was public and the payment was unlawful, then the grown men and women who signed, pushed, defended, enabled, processed or benefited from the payment must answer as adults, not hide behind Matiang’i’s age in 1981. So let us be honest properly, because the question is not whether Matiang’i was 13 when the land story began, the question is why the Uhuru era machinery paid public money for public land, why the money moved with such speed, and why some people now want Kenyans to treat a Sh1.5 billion loss like an innocent clerical errand. Of all the people mentioned in the Ruaraka land mess, Matiang’i’s defenders should be very careful about reopening this debate, because the Sh300 million question is not the kind of story that dies just because someone says he was following NLC instructions. The money was pushed into real estate and transport, including a housing complex in Milimani, Nakuru, a medium haulage company running trucks from Mombasa to Nairobi and Western Kenya, and a top of the range Land Cruiser VX bought from a luxury dealer along Ngong Road. The same money trail points to a prominent Nairobi law firm and several intermediary companies, which is why people defending Matiang’i should not be inviting Kenyans back into the Ruaraka files like this is a harmless argument. If you really support Matiang’i, stop extending this debate, because the court has already confirmed the payment was unlawful, and the deeper people go into the money trail, the weaker the “he was just following NLC instructions” excuse becomes.

Morara Kebaso: Let us have an honest conversation about Ruaraka land. This case started in 1981 when Matiangi was 13 years old. In 2015 the owners of the land filed a case before the National Land Commission. The NLC made a decision and wrote a letter to the ministry of education

Kenyans, mosquitoes cannot eradicate malaria. You cannot use goons to fight goons. You cannot protect thugs & goons today and expect them to respect the law tomorrow.

Why don't you have him abducted as the ministry and officers under you have done to other Kenyans instead of this rhetoric.

In the 2022 elections, about 8 million registered Kenyan voters did not turn up to vote because for many of them, there simply wasn’t a candidate who inspired them. When voter registration was happening last year, the same pattern emerged. Young people were registering in very low numbers because once again, they didn’t have a reason to. But from March this year, during the enhanced voter registration exercise, something changed. Young people started turning up in large numbers. They had finally found a reason. The millions who stayed away from the ballot in 2022, most of them young people will also come out in 2027 because at last, they have found the kind of leadership they have been yearning for. Edwin Sifuna is more than a presidential candidate. He embodies the hopes and aspirations of millions of Kenyans who in the previous election felt unheard and unrepresented. Whether as the flag bearer or as part of the presidential ticket, his presence fundamentally changes the political equation. A generation has finally found its standard-bearer.

My daughter just asked me.. did anyone die during maandamano yesterday? That's how far we've sunk. Even a child knows what the govt. does.

Morara Kebaso: I was reading this audit report, 1.8 million shillings spent on a pit latrine at Kenyoro SDA Primary. Which pit latrine will cost 1.8 million? A 5000 litres water tank, the MP is getting it for 500,000 shillings, kitu ya 35,000 kwa hardware. He said there is a problem of climate change in Kisii, the most forested place in Kenya. The guy is planting trees at a cost of 6 million. These are the MPs that must be replaced by people of values #JKLive

I think Kenyans have not woken up to the reality of what they are truely dealing with To the reality of how the next five years is going to look like 🤔🤷‍♀️🙆‍♀️

The people of Homabay are also tired of William Ruto's lies. They've promised to support HE. David Maraga for the top seat because of his values and what he stands for. We are forming the Next Government, a government whose foundation is built on constitutionalism and the rule of law.

Our nanny now house manager has been with us for 15 years. Been educating and mentoring her son in that that time (she’s a single mum). The teenage years were bumpy but he turned things around and scored an A-. Today he just got placed at JKUAT 🎊🥳 So happy for them!

When police officers themselves begin asking how they are supposed to deal with politically connected criminals who are shielded from prosecution, Kenya has a serious problem. If goons can walk free because powerful people call police stations demanding they be treated with respect and protected from the law, then justice is no longer blind. It is selective. Ministry of Interior should never tolerate or encourage lawlessness. Every Kenyan, regardless of status or political connections, must be equal before the law. State institutions exist to protect citizens, not to shield criminals. @ODPP_KE @NPSOfficial_KE @DCI_Kenya kindly step aside we've admitted we are on our own and we will protect ourselves.
