Kenya's Leadership Shocker: Kindiki Takes Deputy President Role in Mid-Term Power Shift!

Image
It was a momentous moment for Kenyan politics: Professor Kithure Kindiki took the oath of office, earlier today at KICC Nairobi, and became the Deputy President of the country, going down in history as one of the few officials to assume such a high office before the end of an electoral term. Far from the usual five-year election cycle, this presents a new dawn in Kenya's political landscape, testing the stability of governance structures in the country. The swearing-in of Kindiki is significant, not only because transitions at the executive level at mid-term periods are rare but also for what it represents: adaptability in governance amidst an evolving political climate.  Conventionally, a deputy president should serve a full term with the president except in circumstances beyond their control. This appointment in the middle of the cycle has, however, driven the point home that leadership changes can occur through constitutional processes and not necessarily through electoral cycle

MILLIONAIRE HUSTLER? 😂 JUNET ASKS ALFRED MUTUA.

Minority Whip, Junet Mohamed, earlier on questioned Foreign Affairs CS nominee, Alfred Mutua, of his 420 million networth.


Former Machakos Governor, Alfred Mutua, had declared his worth to be around Ksh. 420 million during his vetting, claiming that his wealth is from his businesses, apartments, and hotels.
"A few biashara here and there," added the Foreign Affairs CS nominee.
Suna East MP, Junet Mohammed, was however not convinced of the networth Alfred Mutua earlier mentioned, saying that it is too low for someone who owns a big hotel in Machakos.
"This hotel in Machakos...this white one...is it yours your nominee," asked Junet Mohammed as he cracked people up in the County Hall, where the vetting was taking place, as he reminisced his good old days in Azimio where he one time had lunch in that hotel with Dr. Alfred Mutua.
Answering Junet Mohammed, Alfred Mutua said that the A & L Hotel in Machakos is his and that he built it with a loan. 
“If that hotel is yours, you cannot be worth KSh 420 million. Nimekataa (I refuse),” said Junet.  
"I know this is a period that people want to be poor because it is hustler time, don’t fear being rich, just tell us what you are worth,” added the Suna East MP.
“When you own something that is under huge credit, it’s hard to say that it is yours unless you clear the credit. That is why my value is much less than I would like it to be,” said Dr. Alfred Mutua, Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary nominee.
Dr. Alfred Mutua was the fourth Cabinet nominee to face the panel on Monday 17th October, 2022.

Known for its diverse culture, rich agricultural lands, and strategic importance, Meru is now becoming equally known for its political drama. The past months have seen Meru being a hotbed of political intrigue, power play, and even an attempted ouster of its governor. But what is really happening in Meru, and why is it so significant? The Political Landscape of Meru Meru's politics have always been colorful, characterized by a mix of traditional leadership structures and modern political dynamics.

However, in the past few years, this balance has been disrupted. The county has experienced rising political tension

All Eyes on the Senate: Gachagua's Impeachment Battle Reaches Critical Stage

Image
In a high-stakes session, 281 MPs voted in favor of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s removal , with only 44 opposing and one MP abstaining during the impeachment motion on October 8, 2024 . Following this dramatic decision by the National Assembly, Gachagua now faces a critical showdown in the Senate. The next phase will determine whether Gachagua is officially removed from office or if he survives the political storm that has engulfed him. The charges against him include gross violations of the Constitution, undermining the president, and economic crimes, placing his role as Deputy President in jeopardy.  The Senate will soon convene to either appoint a special 11-member committee to investigate the charges or hear the case in a full plenary session. During this period, Gachagua will have the opportunity to defend himself against the allegations, either in person or through legal representation.  If the Senate votes in favor of the impeachment, Gachagua will be officially ousted
