Why Governor Ann Waiguru Was Baptized by Fire in Her Own Backyard

Image
They say politics is poly tricks and if there is any politician in the country who can attest to that right now is Ann Mumbi Waiguru, the impeached Governor of Kirinyaga County. For the last few days, Waiguru has undergone many trials, tribulations and political nightmares because of one reason; A motion that was moved by Mutira Member of County Assembly Mr. Kinyua Wangui to impeach her. The Governor's relationship with the Ward Representatives first escalated when the County Public Service Board's term in office expired and Ms. Ann Waiguru went ahead and nominated four other people to fill the positions. Waiguru also dismissed three county executives and appointed new ones, with the county health executive being spared, a move that was termed by the MCAs as gross misconduct and violation of the constitution. And it didn't end there. The county boss was accused of failing to deliver the annual state of the county address to the assembly, with the motion mover saying it was ...

Image
Embattled Ford-Kenya party le ader Moses Wetangula has heaved a sigh of relief after the registrar of political parties Anne Nderitu recalled a gazette notice that she had earlier on issued declaring the member of parliament for Kanduyi constituency Wafula Wamunyinyi as the new Ford-Kenya party leader. This comes after the Bungoma senator had withdrawn his petition before the Political Parties and Dispute Tribunal. On Friday June 12, Wetangula's lawyers led by Law Society of Kenya President Nelson Havi said that because the gazette notice was withdrawn, Wetangula remains the party leader of Ford-Kenya. "The registrar of political parties has recalled the 8th June notice on the changes made to the Ford-Kenya party and as far as we are concerned, Moses Wetangula is still the Ford-Kenya party leader," Havi said. All these now gives the former minority leader in the senate a reprieve from melancholy people and warring members who have given him sleepless nights over the last ...

Manchester City and Arsenal Set to Clash on Wednesday Night as English Premier League Resumes

Image
English Premier League is arguably the biggest and most powerful football league in the world. It's broadcasted in over 200 countries and reaches an estimated audience of over 4 billion people according to UEFA's 2019 league ranking. This is because the league houses many players who are skillful, talented and influential to football fanatics across the globe. However, the corona virus pandemic led to the postponement and cancellation of football activities across the world and the EPL was not an exception. The league fixtures were postponed earlier this year as the world grappled with Covid-19 pandemic with Liverpool being just two games away from being confirmed as the new champions, but their title chase was cast into flux by the disease. That suspension of the 2019/2020 season since early March left relegation and European qualifications up in the air with every player, fan and stakeholder watching the developments, with the UK government implementing further restrictions o...

Image
Bungoma senator Moses Masika Wetangula has been formerly ousted as Ford-Kenya party leader and replaced by Kanduyi member of parliament Athanas Wafula Wamunyinyi. This is according to a gazette notice dated June 8, that was issued by the registrar of political parties Ms. Ann Nderitu. The notice also pointed out that the party's national organizing secretary Chris Mandu Mandu had been replaced by Josephine Maungu. "In the exercise of the powers conferred by section 20(1) (c) of the party's act, 2011, the registrar of political parties hereby gives notice of the Ford-Kenya party intends to change its officials, and any person with written submissions concerning the intended change by the political party, shall within seven days from the date here in, deposit them to the registrar of political parties," Nderitu said. This entire fracas started as a result of a meeting summoned by the party's special National Executive Committee (NEC) led by the party's Secretary...

Moses Wetangula Heads to Court In a Bid to Repossess Ford-Kenya

Image
Estranged Ford- Kenya Party leader Moses Wetangula has moved to court to stop his former allies from capturing the party. Through his lawyer Ms. Eunice Lumallas, Wetangula moved to the Political Parties and Dispute Tribunal to deter the registrar of political parties Ms. Ann Nderitu from recognizing Mr. Wafula Wamunyinyi as the new Ford-Kenya party leader. Ms. Lumallas said Ford-Kenya's National Executive Council did not sanction any meeting to remove the party leader, pointing fingers to the Kanduyi legislator and Dr. Eseli Simiyu for not approaching the party's disciplinary committee first if they had any underlying issues with the party leader and claimed that the documents they had presented to the registrar of political parties were forgeries. "The applicant has every reason to believe that the documents presented to the registrar of political parties to effect the purported changes in the party leadership were forgeries, and the registrar of political parties can not...

Ann Waiguru's Impeachment Trial and Intrigues Gearing up Amid Divisions in The Senate

Image
Impeached Kirinyaga Governor Anne Mumbi Waiguru could be the latest victim to flop before the Senate. This is after a decision was made earlier this week to have Waiguru's fate determined by a team of 11 senators and not a committee of the whole house as earlier proposed. 45 senators voted in favor of the 11 member committee against 14 who were opposed to it arguing that the plenary way was the only solution to deliver justice to the people of Kirinyaga county. However, Mandera senator Mahmud Mohamed refrained himself from the exercise. Kakamega senator Cleophas Malala (Pictured above) who was elected unopposed to chair the 11-member senate committee said that they will sit and substantiate the allegations tabled by the Kirinyaga County Assembly. He also assured Kenyans that the whole process will be impartial considering the weight of the matter. "This committee has membership which is competent and I want to assure Kenyans that we are going to conduct this exercise with...

Deputy President William Ruto Opens Jubilee Asili Center to House Estranged Members

Image
The rift between Deputy President William Ruto and his boss President Uhuru Kenyatta continued to widen when the Deputy President opened a parallel Jubilee party office located along Makindu road, off Riara road in Nairobi's Kilimani area. The offices dubbed Jubilee Asili Center initially hosted 20 members of parliament allied to the Deputy President, including those who were ousted from various parliamentary committees and leadership positions for supporting William Ruto's 2022 presidential bid. Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchuma Murkomen who was removed from the senate majority leader was also present and said they opted to open the new party offices to hold party meetings claiming that they had been denied access to Jubilee party headquarters in Pangani. Murkomen also argued that Jubilee Asili was not a party but a meeting point for disgruntled members. "We had a meeting with the Deputy President at the Jubilee Asili Center. It's a center for all members, not parallel...

Aden Duale Kicked Out as Leader of Majority in The National Assembly

Image
  Aden Bare Duale has been officially ousted as the leader of the majority in the National assembly and has been replaced by Kipipiri member of parliament Amos Muhinga Kimunya, in what seems to be the final crucial blow to Jubilee party rebels who have had frosty relations with their party leader Uhuru Kenyatta in the recent past. Jubilee party's parliamentary group meeting chaired by President Uhuru Kenyatta at the KICC has made this decision. In the new changes, Muturi Kigano will now chair the Justice, Legal Affairs and Human rights Committee, Kanini Kega will chair the Budget Committee, and Eldas member of parliament Adan Keynan becomes the new Coalition Secretary.  As of yesterday, Duale's removal from office was looming, with the member of parliament for Garissa Township eagerly waiting to know his fate after the die is cast. Jitters not only filled the Garissa Township legislator, but also other jubilee party members allied to the Deputy President William Ruto and ...
