Who are You, Are You Above the Law, What's Your Reason? Furious Arati Speaks His Mind On Citizen TV

Image
The feud between Simba Arati and Sylvanus Osoro has rekindled this time away from fists witnessed at the former Kisii deputy Governor's father's funeral in 2018 where Raila and Ruto were chief guests to now guns and arrows. The two come from Kisii with Sylvanus being a Parliament Member and the Majority Whip in the National Assembly, Simba being the County boss and the Governor. Events leading to the Nyakembene tussle on the 8th of January 2024 were well explained by both parties with Osoro claiming that he obtained permission on the 3rd of January for the event on the 8th in South Mugirango which was about the construction of Nyakembene road. On the other hand, Arati was also there on the same day but with a different function which happened to be issuing bursaries to students. Arati's mid-morning testament on Citizen TV with Mashirima Kapombe's show called 'Mwenge wa Kaunti' has painted Osoro negatively, for starters, slander, abuse of power, etc. His version ...

This fine Tuesday morning along the corridors of one of Kenya’s greatest media empires, panelists particularly from the political class paid a morning visit to S.K.Macharia’s famous TV station, Citizen Television.

Well, most of us are versed with what is currently going on between Kenya’s two most important arms Judiciary and Executive. The two heads of those respective entities are apparently at loggerheads and have been like that for the better of two weeks now. It all started with the President's Housing Manifesto which was stopped by the High Court Judges citing inadequate Public Participation and its biased nature of capturing only the working class. This bone of contention has further progressed to how the Judiciary operates, how flawed the judges are and how they are ‘hell-bent’ on u...

It was a story that transcended the boundaries of time and etched itself into the collective memory of humanity. The Rwanda Genocide, a tragedy that unfolded over one hundred days in 1994, shocked the world with its brutality. But beyond the headlines and historical accounts, there were untold stories, unspoken moments, and overlooked details that painted a fuller picture of the human experience during those harrowing times. In the quiet hills of Rwanda, where the vibrant colours of the landscape once symbolized peace, the echoes of anguish began to reverberate. Amidst the chaos, there were moments of humanity that defied the brutality surrounding them. In a small village, neighbours turned into lifelines, sheltering one another from the storm of hatred that swept through the country.
