It is exactly 2 years yesterday since I was elected. WE ARE NOT EVEN HALF-WAY THROUGH THIS TERM! We are still 3 YEARS AWAY from another election.
Yet some of my colleagues are busy ‘tanga tanga-ing’ all over the country asking for votes for 2022. And they do it with such vigor and style one would think the elections are next month!!!!

This is so wrong. Especially when the President expressly, directly & specifically keeps publicly demanding that MPs should stop premature campaigns … and work!
What makes it so terrible is that the person who is leading this drama is the President’s own Deputy, Dr William Samoei Ruto. And because he is doing it though proxies he thinks Kenyans do not see what he is doing.
***
WHAT DR RUTO DOES.
1. Dr Ruto will usually facilitate 10/20 MPs to accompany him for a political event somewhere in the country.
2. Dr Ruto will then smile happily as these MPs sing his praises, sit quietly as they campaign for his 2022 presidential bid (against his boss’s express, direct and specific instructions), listen attentively as they insult Opposition Leader Raila Odinga (who is working with his Boss President Kenyatta in a project initiated by President Uhuru to unite the country), and watch silently as these MPs directly attack the war his boss has initiated against corruption.
3. Dr Ruto will then stand up to speak – and because of his status he always gets to speak last – after all these MPs have spoken. However he will not reprimand them for their very obvious misbehavior and disrespect to his Boss the President. Nope. Not at all.
4. Dr Ruto will instead speak like none of the speeches above actually happened. He will proceed to enumerate the development work he (and his Boss) are doing in Kenya, then speak about how he and his Boss are close and even explain how he’s only ‘mtu ya mkono ya Boss’, pass his Boss’s greeting (and ‘contribution’), and end by pledging his undying love and commitment to his Boss. Dr Ruto will further insist that we understand that he supports his Boss 100%, respects him totally, and is unflinching in his commitment to his legacy agenda; (and here he always mentions Big4; never mentions the fight against corruption, and until very recently only spoke about the handshake when talking of ‘evil’).
5. Dr Ruto will then angrily demand that politicians must stop premature campaigns, that everyone in Jubilee must work together under the singular leadership of his terrific boss, President Uhuru Kenyatta, and that Jubilee Party must avoid being divided by senseless politics. He will even go as far as saying he will take responsibility of ensuring everyone toes the line and works together.
6. (HOWEVER) Dr Ruto will then facilitate this same cheering squad of MPs to accompany him to yet another event a few days later somewhere else in the country and the script above will be followed to the letter – right there in his presence; point-by-point.
Sometimes I think Dr William Samoei Ruto thinks he’s the only smart guy in the room, and that all other Kenyans, including his Boss, are stupid.

Meanwhile in the 24 months I have been in office we initiated 120 projects across my constituency directly through the NG-CDF & KERRA Committees alone, where I am the Patron.
I have also ensured Nyeri Town has over 25 National Projects worth over 120B, which are in various stages of implementation through Ministry of Roads, (KURA, KENHA, etc), Ministry of Water, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Interior, Ministry of ICT, Ministry of Trade, etc.
Key amongst them are the expansion of the Nyaribo Airstrip, Dedan Kimathi Technology Workshop, Kiandogoro-Ndunyu Njeru road, the Nyeri Town dual-carriage loop extension on the Kenol/Isiolo Dual Carriage, several tarmac roads within Nyeri, the Riamukurwe Irrigation Project & 7 others, etc. We are also working on a community radio station for youth, revival of KIE stations, etc.
In 36 months we will have quadrupled what we have done so far … 😇

THE HARDCORE drug traffickers and carriers (the mules) are predominantly recruited from the economically disenfranchised poor descendants of African slaves that were kidnapped mainly from Sub-Saharan Africa!
In Sub-Saharan Africa, many carriers(mules) are recruited from economically impoverished young African men/women by foreign corporate drug dealers and African elites in control of the local government elites! YES, FOREIGN CORPORATIONS AND THEIR GOVERNMENTS ARE PARTICIPATING IN THE MANUFACTURING, DISTRIBUTION and smuggling operations OF ILLICIT DRUGS WORLDWIDE!
The allied local and foreign drug kingpins and profiteers are getting very wealthy intentionally ADDICTING the poor population who consume these drugs!! THE the poor carriers do serve to long term jails in countries like USA , UK, Europe or China (where these mules get executed) when caught!
Despite the fact that the growers and processors of illicit DRUGS are not BLACKS, DRUG TRACKING, CONSUMPTION AND ADDICTION HAVE BLACK AFRICAN FACES WRITTEN ALL OVER THEM!! THE CORRUPT AFRICAN RULING ELITES WHOSE POPULATION IS BEING DECIMATED BY THE SCOURGE have become part of the ACTIVE players!! THE SAME ELITES THEN TURN AROUND AND OPERATE DRUG TREATMENT CENTERS TO FURTHER PROFIT from the same HUMAN CASUALTIES THEY HAVE CAUSED!

The Kenya Forest Service (KFS) raked in Sh2.7 billion from its tree plantations in the year that the government imposed a total ban on logging.
A report of the Auditor-General Edward Ouko shows that KFS earned Sh2,702,904,804 as appropriations-in-aid (AIA) from forest and related forest products in the year to June 2018.
In the same period, the report shows that KFS spent a paltry Sh124.3 million out of which Sh67.7 million for seeds and seedlings and Sh56.6 million for tree planting activities.
“This translates to five per cent of revenue earned from sale of trees and tree-related products,” Mr Ouko said in a qualified opinion of KFS’s books of accounts for the year to June 2018. The report was tabled in the National Assembly by Leader of Majority Aden Duale.
The government imposed a moratorium on logging in February 2016 following a public outcry over illegal felling of trees that was blamed for the diminishing water levels in the country’s key rivers.
The ban was extended by a further one year in November 2018 in a bid to raise the country’s forest cover to the internationally recommended threshold of 10 per cent.
The extension of the ban has hit sawmill owners who had licences to log in public forests.
Since the ban, the cost of construction has been going up, with timber and poles becoming scarce and thus more expensive.
The Environment ministry is pushing for a Sh18 billion restoration plan in the next five years. The plan had been submitted to the Presidential Delivery Unit for funding consideration.
In his audit dated May 22, 2019, Mr Ouko has questioned the mismatch against plantation revenue of Sh2.7 billion and the Sh124.3 million spent on seeds and seedlings.
“These seedlings were planted in forest plantation areas with an acreage of 7,698 hectares against plantation harvesting of 4,909 hectares.
“Although the area planted (7,698 ha) appeared higher than the area harvested (4,909 ha), the expenditure on tree seedlings was a mismatch with the revenue earned,” he said.
Mr Ouko said the expenditure on seeds and seedlings appeared minimal and full stocking of the plantation area may not be realised.
He criticised the planting regime undertaken by KFS, saying it does not match with the international standards, which should be geared towards increasing the national tree coverage by 10 per cent every year.
“Consequently, it has not been possible to confirm the accuracy and completeness of revenue from plantation balance of Sh2.7 billion for the year ended June 30, 2018,” Mr Ouko said.

A former Mp has filed an assault complaint against a Traffic police officer who allegedly slapped him for asking for directions.
Mr Clement Kungu Waibara, the former Gatundu North MP, said he was assaulted on July 31, 2019, at the T-Mall roundabout. The former MP said he was with two other passengers in the car that was being driven by his wife, Winnie Wairimu.
They reportedly stopped at the roundabout, with Mr Kungu alighting to ask a traffic officer on the shortest route to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH).
The former legislator reported that one of the officers manning the road started pushing and slapping him on the face, injuring him on his left eye and cheek.
A second traffic officer reportedly intervened and rescued the former lawmaker. Mr Kungu said he needed medical attention after the assault.
He added that he was treated by his doctor who advised him to make a formal assault complaint.
Police are probing the complaint.
