    Boniface Mwangi: Kibra Residents, This Is Mariga For You

    Pawa254 Founder and street activist Boniface Mwangi has released what KOT terms as the most factual video about Ruto’s Kibra candidate Mc Donald Mariga.

    Well, as much as Kenyans have allowed themselves to be an audience for imbecility, the result and consequences of this slap in HD or as Aristotle expressed it “Tolerance and apathy are the last virtues of a dying society.”

    In yet another political lunacy on the people of Kibra, majority of whom- according to multiple surveys, are living below the poverty line, Ruto’s Man McDonald Mariga on Sunday, November 3, 2019, promised to follow in the area’s former Member of Parliament(MP) the late Ken Okoth to fight for the legalization of marijuana.

    “Mnataka tuongelee mambo ya Shada. Shada mmeskia inacure cancer. Hio lazima tuipush. Hatutaki mambo ya shada ya kupiga watu. Muniingize bunge tuskume mambo ya shada”

    This is not new to the ears of Kenyans and here is a video of the home and genesis of Mariga’s success and his hard work on ”giving back all to his community”. The video was recorded by Boniface Mwangi and shared on his Twitter account.

    Well, Mariga or as I call him since he joined Jubilee via backdoor MaRIGa, also has his fans who expressed their contrary opinion about this. Here are sample tweets of Ruto’s candidate supporters.

    To me, MaRIGa’s fans don’t see the sense in what Boni is saying particularly about Kenyan politics. Every politician uses Kenyans who foolishly give them time and audience to project themselves and their own agenda without, allow me to cuss on my opinion—giving a fuck— about what is happening or happens to the ordinary citizen.

    Republics decline into democracies that later generate despotism, this is the effects of trying to make unequal thing equal my fellow Kenyans.

     

     

  • Ruto Allied Jubilee MPs Want IEBC To Disqualify ODM’s Imran Okoth

    Ruto Allied Jubilee MPs Want IEBC To Disqualify ODM’s Imran Okoth

    After ODM accusing DP Ruto of changing his Karen Home to an IEBC headquarter, a section of Jubilee Party legislators have now called on IEBC to disqualify the Orange Democratic Movement candidate Imran Okoth from the November 7 Kibra parliamentary by-election.

    The Ruto alied MPs who had earlier today attended a church service at PCEA Emmanuel Church in Makina on Sunday, criticized the Sartiday’s invasion on Jubilee Party candidate McDonald Mariga as he campaigned in Kibra.

    Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wa and his Lang’ata counterpart Nixon Korir accused Dagoretti North MP Simba Arati of inciting youths to stone Mr Mariga’s convoy.

    “Let all candidates and political parties embrace peace and give Kibra people a chance to decide who they want,” said Mr Ichung’wa.

    The DP Ruto sycophants similarly cussed at Kieleweke team led by nominated MP Maina Kamanda for scattering propaganda.

    According to them, which probably is the same thought of their boss William Ruto, Maina Kamanda who is only nominated because of his background was misleading Kenyans that President Uhuru Kenyatta does not support  Rito’s candidate Donald Mariga.

    “Let them (Kieleweke) respect the President and stop lying that they have been sent (to Kibra) by him. It is shameful the youths who attacked Mr Mariga’s convoy yesterday (Saturday) have followed us here and destroyed window panes,” said Mr Korir.

    Nixon Korir, the Lang’ata legislator stated that he’s going to write to the IEBC to disqualify the ODM candidate over the violence.

    “(Mr) Raila Odinga is in the government courtesy of handshake hence we are free to ask for votes anywhere. The handshake did not come to finish democracy,” he said.

    Mariga on his side called out on political leaders to stop manipulating youths to mete out turmoil on their competitors.

    “The youths should not be used to unleash chaos on opponents, violence never pays, I have forgiven those who assaulted us,” said Mr Mariga.
