George Natembeya, the governor of Trans Nzoia, dismantled Moses Wetang'ula for referring to himself as 'Papa Wa Roma'. Natembeya contended that, due to his dual marriage, the Speaker of the National Assembly was ineligible to serve as a pope. He charged Wetang'ula with using these titles to intimidate people and incite fear in the hearts of vulnerable people. The governor of Trans Nzoia, George Natembeya, is vehemently against Speaker Moses Wetang'ula's choice of title and seeks to enlighten the 'Bukusu community' to be aware of the main titles people give to themselves. Pope Francis, who is the head of the Roman Catholic Church and resides in Vatican City, is the sole "papa," according to Governor Natembeya. The governor reminded the speaker that a pope is not married and advised him to desist from using that position to court admiration. "In our culture, we ceased worshipping human beings. Do you want us to tremble and bow down when you ...

The fourth president of the country left Kenya's most important and prominent platform not too long ago. Given the powerful machinery supporting him at the time, it still surprises many that his favourite option never reached the top. The entire Kenyan population was astonished, as well as the president and his front-runner, when the then 10-year-old deputy president—once the president's ally but now a political foe—made sure the win arrived home as soon as possible. Many found the news distressing, but Kenyans had to lie in a made bed. William was elected as the Republic of Kenya's fifth president. Over time, he has brought about several important changes to the nation's administrative framework. These include restructuring and operational requirements for certain institutions, privatizing others, and changing some of their titles. The popular hashtag "RIP KENYATTA" was sparked by Kenyatta's recent comments during which he mentioned while attending Amos K...

Last Sunday's attack was a huge blow to the American fraternity and a shame to one of the World’s greatest nations in terms of technological superiority, how didn’t they see it? Was it a glitch, or did someone sleep over one of the main tasks to keep vigil, especially in enemy combat regions? Well, according to US military officials in Sunday's Jordan base attack, the enemy drone was mistaken as one of theirs which unfortunately claimed the lives of three promising US soldiers and utterly destroyed command and intelligence centres. The drone attack came amidst heavy influence and support of the powerful West Nation to Israel in wiping out terrorist elements in the Hamas government in Gaza. White House came out to confirm that armed groups within Syria, Iraq and Jordan are the ones carrying out terrorist activities in the Middle East and are hugely and majorly backed by Iran. As of last week's drone attack, an Islamic armed group based in Iraq claimed responsibility for the ...

It has gained popularity over its flexibility and ability to land in the most influential and adept politicians where some of them speak fiercely and fearlessly over grave matters that the majority tend to look the other way. Thursday morning Citizen's TV show, 'State of the Nation’, saw former deputy speaker Farah Maalim, Danstan Mungatana and ODM secretary general Edwin Sifuna gracing the floors of Trevor’s favourite media station. They were in for an array of issues that are strife among Kenyans especially the latest political developments that have seen the Executive tussle with the Judiciary over delays of the former reaching their target agenda painting them as exercising Judicial overreach. In the recent days that have passed, Kenyans have been made aware of the government’s decision and determination to construct houses and even further to send police to Haiti which for instance, have been stopped by the High Court. Discussion inside the royal media house was highly cha...

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. They included Danstan Mungatana, Diana and Kajwang and their power moderator was Ayub Abdikadir. The host theme coincided with the ‘@Daybreak’ show which happened to be ‘Kenya Courting Anarchy’. 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...
