  P resident William Ruto yesterday while attending the burial of Dagorreti legislator Hon Kiarie John's father Waweru Ng'ethe burial in Kandara Constituency. He was affirming himself that under his watch as the president of Kenya and head of government and state , no coin from taxpayers monies will be looted even by his closest friends. Majority of Kenyans who saw and heard him tough talking pour extremely cold water on those sentiments. They have declared them hot air and part of the many litany promises he always makes right, left and centre. It is as if Kenyans have lost trust and confidence in him.

He has political right to ...

  T omorrow, the Azimio la Umoja one Kenya is expected to resume their anti goverment demos but this time round, it seems it will be somehow different. So far , the Nairobi regional police commander Adamson Bungei has quashed the letter by Azimio la Umoja notifying the police that they will be holding peaceful demonstrations and picketing along various roads in the central business district. The constitution in article 37 allows for peaceful demonstrations and picketing but it continues to give a caveat on how this should to conducted. It is true the constitution is very clear but on the other hand , it doesn't advocate for the destruction of properties and loss of lives as we have seen in the previous demos where an ugly encounter between the opposition supporters and the state have led to loss of lives , injuries and destruction of properties and wanton looting.
