Why Siaya County Must Consider Nick Ongoro for Senator in 2027: A Story of Resilience, Vision, and Grassroots Connection

Image
In every generation, there are leaders whose journeys reflect the struggles, hopes, and lived reality of the people they seek to represent. For Siaya County, Nick Ongoro has increasingly emerged as one such figure—a name that resonates with resilience, ambition, and a belief that leadership must be rooted in real-life experience rather than privilege. As 2027 approaches, conversations around the senatorial seat are gaining momentum. Among the emerging voices, Nick Ongoro stands out not merely because of political ambition, but because of the narrative of transformation he carries with him—one that mirrors the journey of many ordinary citizens in Siaya. From Humble Beginnings to Business Success Nick Ongoro’s story is often told as one of humble beginnings, shaped by rural life and early responsibility. Raised in a modest environment, he is said to have spent part of his early years engaging in herding and small household duties—experiences that grounded him in discipline, p...

Why Samuel Atandi’s Leadership in Alego Usonga Makes a Strong Case for Continued Electoral Support and Long-Term Representation

Image
Why Samuel Atandi’s Leadership in Alego Usonga Makes a Strong Case for Continued Electoral Support and Long-Term Representation In Kenya’s evolving democratic landscape, long-serving leaders often stand out not merely because of their political longevity, but because of the measurable impact they leave behind in their constituencies. One such figure is Samuel Atandi, the representative of Alego Usonga Constituency. Over time, his name has become closely associated with education transformation, structured budget advocacy, and grassroots development initiatives that continue to shape public perception of his leadership. The argument often made by his supporters is simple yet powerful: leadership that consistently delivers tends to earn continued trust. And in Alego Usonga, that trust has been steadily reinforced through visible development milestones, strong community engagement, and policy priorities that resonate with everyday needs. Education Reform as a Corne...

The Legal and Political Storm Around the Gachagua Judgment

Image
The Legal and Political Storm Around the Gachagua Judgment The High Court judgment on former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's impeachment has sparked one of the most intense legal debates Kenya has witnessed in recent years. While the court found that some of Gachagua's constitutional rights had been violated during the impeachment process, it nevertheless declined to overturn the impeachment itself. Instead, it awarded remedies for the violations while allowing the outcome of the process to stand. This decision has left many prominent lawyers, constitutional scholars, and public figures deeply divided. One of the strongest reactions came from lawyer and political commentator Donald B Kipkorir, who described the judgment as a "judicial absurdity." His argument is straightforward: if the court established that constitutional rights were violated, then the logical consequence should have been to invalidate the entire process. In his view, the Court of App...

Gachagua's 2027 Presidential Dream Hangs on Appeal Outcome

Image
Gachagua's 2027 Presidential Dream Hangs on Appeal Outcome Perhaps the most significant consequence of the court's decision is its impact on former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's political future and his much-publicized 2027 presidential ambitions. Before the ruling, Gachagua had repeatedly maintained that his path to State House remained open regardless of the outcome of the impeachment case. He projected confidence that the legal battle would not derail his political plans and assured his supporters that he remained firmly in the race for Kenya's highest office. However, the legal reality appears far more complicated. With the impeachment upheld, Gachagua currently faces a major constitutional hurdle. Under the law, a public officer whose impeachment is upheld is barred from holding or contesting for public office. This means that, as matters stand today, he would not be eligible to vie for the presidency in the 2027 General Election. The ruling there...

Martha Karua Tears Into Government Spending: "Kenya Does Not Have a Revenue Problem"

Martha Karua Tears Into Government Spending: Kenya Does Not Have a Revenue Problem As Kenya's budget season gathers momentum, People's Liberation Party (PLP) leader Martha Karua has launched a scathing attack on the Kenya Kwanza administration, accusing it of wasteful spending, misplaced priorities, and punishing taxpayers while delivering fewer services. In a powerful Rescue Budget press briefing delivered on June 8, 2026, Karua argued that the country's economic crisis is not caused by a shortage of revenue, but by what she described as "fiscal indiscipline, corruption, waste, and poor priorities." Her message was simple but striking: Kenyans are paying more, but receiving less. A Nation Taxed to the Limit According to Karua, budget season should be a period of hope, where citizens look forward to improved healthcare, better schools, new opportunities, and economic growth. Instead, she said, many Kenyans now approach budget announcements with fear. ...

Why Some Mount Kenya Residents Have Welcomed the Court's Decision

Image
 Why Some Mount Kenya Residents Have Welcomed the Court's Decision The recent court decision touching on former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has sparked intense political debate across the country. In parts of the Mount Kenya region, particularly among groups that supported the ruling, the judgment has been welcomed as a victory for constitutionalism, accountability, and the rule of law. Reports and social media discussions following the verdict showed pockets of residents expressing satisfaction with the outcome. In towns such as Thika, groups of people were seen discussing the ruling in marketplaces, business centers, and public gathering spots, highlighting the strong public interest that the case has generated. For supporters of the court's decision, the ruling represents more than a judgment on an individual leader. They view it as an affirmation that public office holders are subject to the Constitution and the institutions established to safeguard it. To many, the d...

What Next for Rigathi Gachagua?

Image
  The Political Fate of Rigathi Gachagua After Impeachment The impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua marked one of the most dramatic moments in Kenya's recent political history. Once regarded as a powerful voice in government and a key figure in the Mount Kenya political landscape, Gachagua suddenly found himself navigating unfamiliar political waters. Yet, in politics, impeachment is not always the end. For many leaders, it becomes the beginning of a new chapter. Gachagua's fate now depends on his ability to transform political setbacks into opportunities. His growing criticism of the government and efforts to rally supporters suggest that he intends to remain an influential player rather than fade into political obscurity. The Mount Kenya region remains a critical voting bloc, and Gachagua continues to command significant attention among sections of the electorate. Whether this support translates into a formidable political movement will determine his releva...

Questions as Ngiya Girls National School remains quite on the KCSE Results as Top Schools Celebrate their performance

Image
Ngiya Girls is on the spot again after numerous scandals last year where the management did not allow the singer and motivation speaker Esther Akoth aka Akothee to visit the school and the dramatic change of the previous principal.  This put the school at the centre of attention thus the public having the urge to know how it performed.  This was followed by a massive demand of answers from Siaya locals. Our editors had a thought in the ongoing debate. And he wrote "Ni wakati teteshi kwa shule ya kitaifa ya Ngiya girls baada ya matokea ya KCSE kurejea na wazazi hawajaridhika na matokeo. Naona wengi wakifoka mitandaoni kuwa hata iwapo matokea si mazuri basi waweke wazii.... Nina fikra ntaeleza kwa kimombo. What if the dramas and the last turn of events where the church was in wrangles with the headteacher messed the students? Okay you will say that doesn't concern the students but what i believe is students are the product so any decision made in the name...

After Larry Madowo Tweeted Yes, I "failed" KCSE but it was not the end of my life.  I wrote about this in 2016 He has since received mixed reactions from Kenyans who feels he is misleading the students who are yet to do their exams. One X user Tweeted,  "Larry Madowo is an empty toothy African buffoon. White men who run @CNN prefer primitive buffoons like him. He thinks that travelling around the world is a great achievement. He is just an exalted Kariuki Chotara! We won’t let him misguide our children that learning and academic excellence mean nothing"

Corruption in in the Judiciary in Kenya Farah Maalim

  Farah Maalim is very RIGHT. Better dictatorship than allowing Kenya to plunge into anarchy. Corruption in the judiciary is alarming. I recently witnessed a judge receive a bribe to decide on the MCA election petition. President William Ruto must be tough on those judges.

Rejected even in Death?

The police from Siaya came to calm the situation,  the body has been taken to the morgue as the two families try to resolve the matter

John Matara on Sharlet Wahu Murder

Image
  Courtesy: John Matara PHOTO OF LATE WAHU The family is not seeking justice, they buried her hurriedly... Then think of it this way, you killed someone or as he is accused of cornering ladies and hurting them, angeenda hosi? If he has a group of people he is working for, si wangekuwa na private hospital to cover up? Kama alikuwa na intention za kuua huyo, angechukua simu ya dem or atoe details zake kwa simu ... but as police reported they were able to track him juu yeye ndo alikuwa last person kwa call log ya dem. So to me, there is a 3rd party involved in the story,,,,, Either the boyfriend to the late gal who realised someone was harvesting her woman or just a planned killing by any competitors. Am not subscribing to the idea of family wanting to finish her for her behaviour.  So the police should widen their thinking before reporting that John Matara is a serial killer. The part where he didn't report maybe ata yeye alikuwa black mailed na the 3rd party and the 3rd party...
