The few polls I can get show Ruto is still very popular Bar the joker of Omtatah People have low opinion of Kalonzo and Raila So low even at Ruto worse - they are not an option
I do realize you're insane. Did you ever expect Ruto to become president. Kenyans are sober. Ruto will win 2027 win huge margin\ What is option - your old babu will be senile - Kalonzo is feckless - who? Omtatah? Matiangi?
Obiano13: You do realize by now even if Ruto ran against a dog the dog would win the election?
I can also say youre idiotic and unpatriotic but first Who are you supporting? Why would I not support Ruto? What wrong has Ruto done? Except try to recover the economy from a mess that Uhuru left.
Again get us your candidate - we go to the field - and let see.
People vote what is available; Trump and Biden; not best of American; Neither is Harris.
But fate has given us them; Same with Ruto, Kalonzo, etc.
Kenya will soberly analyse the candidates and vote
NairobiWalker: You're an idiot and unpatriotic if you still support Ruto.
Azimio nutcase. You wrote lots of nonsense. We had azimio protest - you eventually smelled the coffee and gave up Goon Z protest are slow punctured. Ruto will be president tomorrow And until you have strong candidate to beat him Who is that candidate. Concentrate there.
The last time gov of kenya gave in to goons was when Kalenjin warrior SHUT DOWN completely kenya for 3 weeks. They cut all the roads - burnt almost all chief - and police couldnt move - but got stuck in police stations which turned into IDP camps 1,000 deaths plus and 600,000 evicted people.
That is what gave us new constitution, devolution and free & fair election.
Goon Z what will be your achievement 3 months from now . NOTHING. Ruto has return back the cabinet. New finance bill that raises revenues will be passed.
Obiano13: You actually believe the MPigs will seat in parliament and successfully vet those old rags as Kenyans watch? That parliament will be invaded again and this time the entire govt will be swept to Siberia. Before you start yapping brainlessly (and very typically Rutoistically) that the old CSs will not need to be vetted, according to the CoK 2010, CSs appointed to office must receive approval from the National Assembly as stipulated in Article 132 (2) (a). This requirement ensures that all appointments are subject to legislative oversight and are not unilateral decisions by the executive branch. If an appointment bypasses this approval process, it is considered null and void ab initio. CoK 2010 does not provide for the re-appointment of dismissed CSs, reinforcing the importance of proper legislative procedures in such appointments.

The lame duck is just adding to his never-ending streak of self-inflicted losses both on the political front and in the judiciary. I told you this will be a multi-round boxing match and he will be floored on each one! So far he has won nothing!!
By now only a fool or someone suffering extreme levels of denial thinks MPs matter. They are as useless as a chocolate teapot - done and dusted, until a new set is elected. They betrayed the trust of Kenyans in unforgivable ways. This is actually a direct result of Ruto's false sense of mastership and entitlement when he bought opposition MPs using money to emasculate all opposition and leave him free to loot and defile the constitution. He pushed too far. Over half of the old CSs he fired were not even fit to serve if he had adhered to the constitution. The MPigs rubber-stamped all of them despite being warned.
They cant do anything now, AT ALL!!. They are that useless. The only thing they are slowly trying to do is to win their constituents back but it doesn't seem like anyone is ready to forgive them. He can have all MPs in the country, including all of Raila's but still be a toothless dog. Fyi, Raila, that old confused geezer, jumped ship. He has sensed whats coming. Ruto is all alone now vs THE PEOPLE (55 Million strong). Even Baba wouldn't have saved him. Zakayo has no pocket of support anywhere in the country. Whichever political moves he pulls will be inconsequential self-aggrandizement. At this moment he is seating on a powder keg ready to blow him to pieces. We will be here to witness the spectacular downfall. He had another chance to redeem himself with a fresh face of CSs but chose to show us the middle finger, just like he did with the finance bill. Whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad. Watch him try to force back those old rags and the dire repercussions he will face.
You have a lot of faith. No mp will want to be in bad books with GOK 3yrs to election. They dont want to miss tenders, roads, projects. And if Ruto get ODM - his majority move from 220 to 300. Right now he comfortably has almost all Mps.
Goon Z will achieve very little - timing couldnt be terrible. Infact Constitution will be ammended in parliament when ODM are onboarded.
Ruto has 3yrs.
Obiano13: None of the old faces will be approved. Just wait and see. Zakayo is playing with fire. We dont care about his heart. He is not the constitution. The constitution has stipulations for who can be appointed but he is afraid of letting go of the only people giving him some sort of power to hang on. Ruto's plan is to fool his friends that he trusts them but once the people hit the streets he will swiftly drop them and tell them,,,,you see, its not me but the people who dont want you.
What have achieved so far - is nothing. Ruto is returning almost all key members of cabinet. Change will not come from streets - but will come from political will of leadership. Ruto must do it from his heart. You can make him see sense otherwise it usual fake changes.
What we need to focus is JUDICIARY. Nobody dies in streets, no destruction, no chasing tourist, fdi. And you achieve something that is written in LAW and secured.
Obiano13: Something has to give. If one day you make an inch of progress by presenting peaceful petitions to Aso Rock I will pay you special homage. That cannot work in Africa. The politicians will be more than happy to have such protests every day and change nothing. The so-called leaders will be compromised by govt and paid to calm you down. You might as well be one of them from the way you go about things here. In Kenya we tried raising voices for two years protesting bad governance and budgeted corruption but a protest that took less than a month addressed all those concerns. The govt is now in the middle of painstakingly addressing the concerns that one month ago they would never even have imagined bothering. Ofcourse its not easy and they are trying every delay tactic and gimmicks but the prospect of being overwhelmed by nationwide protests is scaring them. You stick to that nonsense of talks with leaders who dont give one s.hit about you and see where it gets you.
Rant on but Ruto has 5yr mandate n has no competition in 2027 that can take him down. The best is useless kalonzo
Obiano13: Sikio la kufa haliskii dawa. Till now you still think IMF is the central issue. It was just a trigger. By now you should understand that Ruto is a lame duck president waiting for his time to come. He knows as well as everyone that the rot in his govt is what the people want changed COMPLETELY. No half measures! And that includes the head of the fish, Ruto himself. Untill he does what the people are saying he is just expending energy uselessly. People want all senior govt officials' salaries chopped by over 50 % not by word of mouth but in reality. People want all MPs gone, esp those who voted for the oppressive bill. Some of the demanded changes MAY require referendum. NG-CDF, number of governors, senators, women reps and their salaries etc. People are demanding accountability not as a matter of necessity but urgency. Keep fixating on IMF to run away from the reality staring you in the face. The MPigs gathered like wolves to pass a bill to oppress the people the same way they have always gathered to raise their salaries, now is the era of aura for aura. The people have to fix the system. People will push this entire political establishment to oblivion unless they change with the times and fulfill ALL the demands. The MPs to this day cannot dare mention the president's name in their constituencies and you think somehow people are just fools to let Ruto get away with this and return to normalcy? Aint gonna happen. People are more than happy to keep life hell for ALL politicians, including the so-called opposition, untill such a time when IEBC will be ready and an election can be held. The entire slate will be wiped clean. By the time we have a new dispensation, MPs will be earning the same salaries as doctors with meagre allowances. Every coin that is spent by govt will be accounted for, even if it entails having blockchain systems in place for all govt transactions. You dont understand what it means dealing with 30-40 million youth who have all the time in the world to waste and zero tolerance to BS. Ruto is the one without time. The sooner he smells the coffee the better. The inflation you're celebrating now is only down due to IMF dollars. Because Ruto spent the first 20 months in office recovering campaign monies and enriching his close circle of tribal cabal. The economy was TANKING by the time he ran to IMF all because looting was nearing Mobutu levels. A Ksh that was at 120 by the time Uhuru left was at 160. Ruto is beholden to IMF only because he thought the country had limitless resources to loot and fill the bottomless pockets of akina Murkomen. Now you idiots expect us to congratulate him for taking a shilling that was at 120 by the time he took office to 130 from an all-time low he orchestrated of 160. Why would he bribe MPs 2 M bob to vote for the bill and kill those who oppose the bill? Because he loves us too much heh? We are not fools and he isnt nearly as smart as he thinks or his apologists trying to make him. That IMF bill was meant to cover his sins/loonatic theft and open more doors for looting because IMF money cannot be accounted for and IMF likes it that way so that they can keep profiting off the sweat of Africans who remain in abject poverty trying to repay looted monies that never increased productivity in the country. We are not fools my friend. The sooner Ruto realizes this the better, and the public rebellion wont cease untill he goes. I frankly cant see him surviving this one. Even those IDs and passports that the govt no longer issues due to the rot at Nyayo house he will issue them by force and fire so that all the youth kick him out. He wont believe. This generation will force him to do everything that is needed to send him and his ilk home. You guys arent even ashamed of returning us back to the Moi era when getting an ID or passport had to be a struggle and you'd have to pay a bribe for every goddamn service! Kenyans have cried day and night to be issued with IDs and no one cares unless you pay a bribe. Listen, RIP, I know we are in the post -tribal-ism era and Gen Zs might kill me for this but I have always said as a Luo that if Kenya has to be led by a Kikuyu or Kalenjin, it better be a Kikuyu every time. The Kikuyu will steal from you, invest the money locally, build infrastructure, but still ensure every govt service is working efficiently, business is thriving, and wont flaunt the stolen wealth. Compare that to your people who will steal from you, take all the money abroad, build nothing, make sure you cant get even basic govt services, destroy business and industry, flaunt the wealth stolen from you and vomit on your shoes, and when you raise a voice step on your head and smash it. Thats the reality, but I am glad the Gen Zs have shown us that we dont have to settle for mediocrity when we have the actual power if we are united tribeless. We want a fresh start where all the rules will be dictated by the citizens. The executive cannot continue setting the rules that favor only them. The MPigs, all of those fools will go home. None of them will return. Every CS appointed will have to be as clean as a whistle. That is the bare minimum. Ruto cannot and should not even dream of appointing his chronies and corrupted humanoids. Even from Raila's camp. That is ofcourse if he wants to last till 2027. One wrong move and he will not survive. The best thing this revolution has achieved is that Kenyans finally managed to banish politicians from the top of society. They're no longer admired for their wealth and Kenyans are actually disgusted by them. This is the real weapon that will finish the grand corruption problem
Silly these offices n budgets were inherited from previous regime
Obiano13: Fixing the rotten system one department at a time. You can imagine a whole president and his deputy creating offices for their spouses and funding those offices, which exist nowhere in the constitution, to the tune of 1.25 Billion Kshs or about 15 Billion Naira every year. Yet the president and his deputy each has an office and an official residence each separately funded to the tune of billions. Anyone who does this is a diabolical maniac that deserves to retire. We have never hit these lows previously where the president is always looking for a loophole to steal public resources. This kind of depraved mentality is very hard to explain even from an evolutionary perspective. These are people who endlessly portrayed themselves as the most saved people in Kenya. And they wonder why the youth no longer give a piss about religion. The entire rotten political filth will be done away with.
Kenya was/is at the end of debt crisis. Gok has to figure out how to keep the momentum It has aggressively been collecting 200-300B more than what previous gov did (50B) on annual basis. Definitely the public seem to be saying we have reach our elastic limit on funding gov. The defaulting option is terribe.
Therefore Gov just need to raise taxes - I see the fuel levy for road maintenance is up - great job
Otherwise all indicators are looking great.
We navigate this financial year and we should be out of danger.
Uhuru invited IMF in 2020 and Ruto has continued with them. IMF/WEST like Ruto because he has made very tough unpopular reforms. The painful reforms were important to treat the debt crisis. No politician want to be unpopular. It was question of declaring bankruptcy like Ghana or Zambia - or hiking taxes to max limit. Kenya has reached that max limit - and we need prayers not to default. Moody has downgraded us to Caaa. Ghana took 10 months from Caaa to declare bankruptcy. IMF have now refused to sign on the last phase of their program.
We absolutely need IMF for another year - and we need to raise revenues - or we go default.
Ruto will be upto the task because he is very smart. He might have to bring the ODM skunks though.
Obiano13: The IMF rewards crooks like Ruto. The moment you hear that your prez is working with IMF just know he is a mega thief.
Cowdung from Azimio supporters in an international forum. Ruto inherited a sunk that was going bankrupt. It's a miracle Ruto has not defaulted on debt. Ruto has done incredibly well to pay off Eurobond 2014 and clear the debt crisis almost - before the current mess started. The economy grew at 5.7% - higher than anything bar 2021 COVID recovery - since 2018. All Africa and frontier markets had their currency & equity markets nicked out the last two years. Kenya KES is now the best performing - almost fully recovering - from near 160 to now 128. Ruto has managed to tame inflation to 4.6%. Nobody in current protest is shouting HUNGER HUNGER - because fertilizer subsidy saw maize production increase from 30m bags to 47M bags.Maize imports from UG and TZ are drying up. Most of you are in forums because you want to see roads, bridges, railways and development - those will come later. Right now Ruto gov is setting legal foundation for it's priority areas. SHIF is off ground though court has put the spanner - once we nail Social health insurance - from NHIF mess - the country will fix health care. Housing levy legal battles are over - tender for houses are out - soon GOV will be build 250K houses in addition to all that.
In every regime - the first one or two years is for setting legal framework.
Ruto was in Uhuru gov and was engine behind the roads & electricity.
1st two years of 2014/2015 - was on setting legal framework for low seal roads and for last mile electricity access.
Then the actions start on the ground and morons like you who need to see things to believe - will now come here and share pictures.
Ruto has small bump now - like in 2014 when terrorism attacked west gate - and need to figure out a way forward.
Gov revenues have grown at double digit the last two years - from 2trillion - we are now doing 2.6 trillion and more when you add non-ordinary revenues.The digitization of more than 15,000 gov services has grown revenues.
Ruto just need to figure out how to keep raising revenues otherwise kenya is on solid ground - and the development will soon start to show.
Of course Azimio nutcases will now claim its Raila who has brought development - because Ruto has to bring the ODM/Opposition thugs to gov to stop goons.
Wuoche: Hello to all Nairalanders. I’m back but not to actively participate in defending my dear country, but to cry and whip for my bleeding country.
As you can all remember I used to actively engage here because I was confident I had supporting evidences behind me. I could proudly brag about infrastructure projects going on in Kenya because in reality they were there and many more were still being constructed by the Uhuru regime. Industries were coming up in every corner, big hospitals were being constructed. Investors were running to come and set up their businesses in Kenya. I was really proud of my country and I had a great hope of Kenya moving forward. At one point most Kenyans had a dream of Kenya moving to higher moving to higher middle income status before expected time, we even dreamed of surpassing Morocco GDP wise but guess what? It’s Kenya that has been surpassed by Ethiopia and Sudan. In terms of GDP Kenya has been relegated to position 8 in Africa and with this Government I foresee Tanzania passing Kenya before 2028.
During election time Kenyans in Nairaland were divided into two; Pro Ruto and Anti Ruto. I was against Ruto’s Presidency cause they guy had no any leadership truck record around his waist, he isn’t development oriented and he surrounded himself with clowns. Unlucky for the Anti-Ruto team, he anyhow managed to win with a small margin. His victory wasn’t celebrated as hard as previous victors celebrated their victory. The country was in somber mood except for few sycophants who didn’t fear for future. Even those who voted for him did so because of they gave him benefit of doubt, they weren’t fully convinced by the person they elected. Others elected him not because of his manifesto or philosophies but because they really hated the other better candidate.
The first red flag of his reign was the kind of people he appointed to head several ministries and parastatals. The appointees were so incompetent to a point the opposition party decided to approve the entire cabinet claiming that if they start to pin down the appointees 60% of them will fail to pass the approval. Now that’s the caliber of person we are calling the President. For me I usually know that when you become victor in a hotly contested election with another half of the country not voting, first thing to do is to earn trust of the 2/3 voting population that didn’t believe in you. How do you do this? Is by doing what’s right, appoint competent government (ministers, security organs etc).
We are major risk of default. Moody has dropped our rating to Caaa. IMF has refused to sign on the program. We are in danger but Ruto now has a clean slate to re-start.
gallivant: Interesting times. The debts are still incurring interest. There is no victory here.
Verbiage. Corruption is easy to say but hard to nail. Gok need to continue with reforms.
Obiano13: Ofcourse!! its Friday. On the stroke of midnight Kenyans in NIGHT clubs across the country will stand up to a deafening crescendo of the national anthem followed by RutoMustGo as they urge the greatest looter to ever exist to ''Anguka Nayo'' (Fall with the Finance Bill). Ruto either has to fix corruption or fall with the finance bill. The choices are clear as day. Everyone knows he cant because he is the definition of corruption itself so he has to go. The cabinet is down. Some of these guys were implicated in vile corruption scandals yet openly sworn they would rather die than resign! The balls. The minister for roads and transport was caught smack in the middle of the final stages of leasing JKIA for 30 years to a shadowy Indian firm to the knowledge of no one and had received kick backs. He was arrested in Dubai with the money as he attempted to buy properties. Ruto, the high priest of corruption, intervened for his release. Birds of a feather.! Auctioning the country for 30 pcs of silver. Africans have a serious mental problem.
GeneralDae: Exports of gasoil from the refinery hit nearly 100,000 barrels per day (bpd) in May, nearly doubling April's levels, data from analytics firm Kpler showed. The bulk of the exports went to other West African countries, but one cargo was shipped to Spain.
Preliminary June gasoil volumes have fallen sharply, though overall oil product exports including fuel oil, naphtha and jet fuel remained relatively elevated at 225,000 bpd, the data showed.
The refinery "changed the balances in West Africa", affecting European markets as a result, a European distillates trading source said. EU and UK gasoil exports to West Africa fell to a four year low of 29,000 bpd in May, Kpler data showed, while Russian exports to the region fell to an 8-month low of 87,000 bpd in May.
Dont believe in your own propaganda. Ruto is the president and has lots of guns to waste most of you if he needs to enforce law and order. He is of course moving cautiously so he doesnt massacre kids and lose face - esp internationally.
Obiano13: If just a week of protests nearly brought the Butcher of Sugoi down you should be very afraid what a month will do to him and his cabal of looters. Which church is Ruto attending today? He should announce in advance if he has titanium balls.
Define FAIL. Ruto has stabilized the economy..and managed to grow it by 5.7%. Kenya has NOT defaulted. KES is back 120sh from 160sh - almost undone all the depreciation. Inflation is single digit - 5% - there is plenty of food.
What we had was just something akin to Black Lives Movement/Londons riots - online outburst of anger - that is rudderless, issuesless and nothing much will come out of it.
Obaaderemi2: Remember when I told you ruto would fail.
You had your 30 secs of madness ; Now GoK resume business
Obiano13: He has to figure out how to meet 40 million youths. one suggestion is through an online platform like Space on X where he cannot bribe anyone. This nigga is a walking Mr money bag he bribes his way through everyone
Obiano13: Irreducible minimums before any budget discussions can take place as demanded by the people who bear the actual sovereign power!
1. The dictator must scrap all Spouses offices and refund all monies that went to those offices in the past 2 years. 2. Scrap the housing levy that was shoved down the throats of citizens last year. Refund all citizens their money and apologize. 3. Any govt official with a criminal record must resign immediately before he or she is hauled out of office. 4. Return the free maternity healthcare program that the dictator scrapped off to align with the IMF's depopulation agenda. 5. Reconstitute the electoral commission within 1 month to facilitate The People's recall of all gluttonous mpigs, including all who voted yes. 6. The salaries of all MPs to be reduced to 200 k a month, same pay as doctors. They will only get an increase if citizens agree in future. 7. Every coin spent by the govt must be accounted for without fail. 8. There should be nothing like confidential expenditure. 9. The dictator cannot travel outside the country more than twice a year. 10. All govt travel must be authorized by the citizens and must be done using official government transport systems, planes, vehicles, trains, etc.
Nonsense. Unless you have counter proposal to US/UN backed plan - we aint listening. Kenya together with Uganda went to Somalia when everyone thought it wasnt mission impossible. Now Somalia has turned around and recently joined EAC.
Haiti gangs are not match to elite Kenya police units like Recce Squad. And soon you'll know that.
Obiano13: Its not always about elections son/daughter. I'm concerned by Ruto's buttlicking of Joe. What business does Kenya have with Haiti? We haven't even fixed Somalia for fcks sake! The greed of this man has no bounds. He's blinded by that $$ from the Americans (he thinks they're freebies) to turn innocent Kenyans into Barbecue's shooting targets. Ofcourse thats not the only thing Im concerned about its just the major worry for me considering innocent Haitians themselves dont want Kenyans there AT ALL. The only Haitians who want an intervention are the few oligarchs who have dominated the poor masses since time immemorial. Did you see the demos in the US by average Haitians when Ruto was there? Never thought in my wildest dreams Ruto would suck D in the WH. That dude probably had a quickie with Joe. FUnny thing, there's no chance that Kenyan police will achieve anything in Haiti. The revolution in Haiti will only end with the majority winning it, and the majority are the hoi Polloi led by Barbecue and co. Ruto better be prepared to receive body bags after body bags at JKIA's special wing.
ANC might go for cheapest option - Zuma. Whose key demand is to be out of prison and maybe to have access to zulu virgin in his Nkandla. ANC likely to strike a deal with him.
chrisooblog: Looks the smartest and logical choice but the black man will F it up.
Sentiments of "Zuma and Malema were once part of the ANC so understand the struggle" will probably hold sway.
ANC/EFF/MK would be a coalition of the doomed led by incompetent Ramaphosa, the corrupt Zuma and the unhinged Malema. It would turn South Africa into another Zimbwabwe.
ANC badly need to strike a deal with DA. ANC leftist communism/socialism has failed, and DA would inject it with right wing free market realism that South Africa badly needs - and also end racial tensions.
The best outcome for RSA 1) Kick out Ramaphosa 2) ANC-DA enter a deal. This will be seen as huge betrayal from leftist in ANCs and its surrogates - but South Africa need to change direction ASAP.
GeneralDae: Would EFF also be in that coalition? What of Zuma’s party?
Agreed - sensible thing to save South Africa from leftist communist.
jl115: I believe(hope) a DA/ANC coalition is on the cards, it will be by far the best outcome for the country and supporters since if you look at the polls more than 60% have voted for a more central leaning government rather than a radical(left) one.
