    Kenyans on twitter have slammed Raila Junior Odinga, son to AU special Envoy and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga after calling for a ban on washing of cars by the roadside in Nairobi’s Lavington.

    But is Raila Odinga wrong or wrong? I’m of the perspective that Raila Junior is lost in between being an organized senior citizen and a ‘low’ abiding youth. Kenyans have been forced to understand that things don’t happen in any particular order in this country. Majority of Netizens are also reacting negatively because they can’t relate to what is supposed to happen or is happening in a orderly society, Lavington can be the case study.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  • Kenyans Savagely Hits Back At Miguna Over His Smear On Raila’s Family

    Kenyans Savagely Hits Back At Miguna Over His Smear On Raila’s Family

    Self declared General Miguna Miguna yester evening  breathed fire, this like most of the time, through his official Twitter account. Former senior personal advisor to the former premier Raila Odinga, General Miguna has claimed that the late Fidel, Winnie And Junior Odinga are not Raila’s biological children.

    Miguna, who was ejected from Kenya after  swearing in Raila Odinga as the people’s president on the 30th Of January 2018, was responding to media reports of Raila’s family inheritance tussle.

    According to Mama Ida, Lwam Bekele, the widow to Fidel, masterminded the death of his son. In statements to detectives captured in court documents, Ida says Lwam was behind the mysterious demise of Fidel, their firstborn who Miguna Miguna now claims otherwise, in January 2015.

    Raila’s family became apprehensive when Lwam was granted the letter of administration of the Fidel Castro Odhiambo Odinga’s estate, which is speculated to be worth billions.

    This prompted Ida and her daughter, Winnie, to file an objection to that, arguing that Lwam is a suspect in the death. They claim she vanished soon after Fidel was buried and investigations into the death were launched, then cut off communications.

    Ida Odinga and her last born daughter, Winnie. The two have filed a case against the widow of Fidel Odinga. 

    On her defense on the case, Lwam, states that Ida has been making false and unkind remarks about her in connection to the sudden death of her husband.

    However, Raila Odinga still enjoys the fact that he’s a political darling to many he didn’t have to bother and reply to Miguna Miguna. Kenyans on Twitter, who are loyal fans of RAO and others elected ODM leaders took to their accounts and savagely threw The Kenyan  Revolutionary Federation General in RAO’s ‘boiler’.

    Here are sampled tweets reaction to what Miguna Miguna had alleged.

  • Kutuny: Youths Are Stoning Together

    Kutuny: Youths Are Stoning Together

    Chereng’anyi MP Joshua Kutuny hits again and this time around it in Sheng.

    The legislator took over the labour day podium in a language well understood by majority of Nairobi youths.

    Speaking of how low level youths are being deducted almost half of their poor salaries by NHIF, NSSF and PAYE.

    The legislator also thanked Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko and urged the national government to back him up in making Nairobi great again.

    But the main point in his speech was when he talked about youths stoning together.

    “Tangu handshake ikuje watu wanakaa pamoja, unapata maboy ata kama wanachoma wanachoma pamoja”

    This loosely translates as; Since the Handshake was realized people are living together. You’ll find youths who smoke weed smoking together.

    Kutuny publicly speaks about youths stoning yet the government still maintained the ban of use and distribution of marijuana.

    Nairobi Sonko had previously admitted smoking weed with Kiambu governor, Ferdinand Waititu while in parliament.

    Leaders in the current government have admitted publicly of use marijuana.
