Good morning,
Yesterday was a holiday and today is Friday. Is this what you guys have been calling parte after parte?
The climax of the weekend will be on Saturday when Eliud Kipchoge takes on the streets of Vienna with only one thing in mind; become the first human being to run the marathon under 2 hours.
This man is so great that he has stopped competing with humans and is now challenging time.
We know Kenyans love their booze ( a recent study revealed that we are consuming more alcohol than tea) but you don’t have to spend the whole night at your ‘local’ waiting for the race.
Your wife knows that Safaricom will be giving out free Youtube Data Bundles after reading the story on Opera News.
If you happen to find yourself in or near a church on Sunday, kindly pray for IEBC Chair Wafula Chebukati. Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has threatened to frog-march him to Uhuru Park if Imran Okoth loses the Kibra by-elections.
This is the same Babu who recently claimed that Kibra is ‘Baba’s bedroom. But as they say, ‘ground vitu ni different’
Here are the stories making headlines this morning:
The Big War in Uhuru’s Statehouse
President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Chief of Staff Nzioka Waita is fighting to save his job, following a vicious power struggle involving State House insiders.

Recovery of Likoni Tragedy Victims Fails Again
Despair was written on the faces of Likoni ferry tragedy family on Thursday evening as efforts to retrieve the car that contains two bodies of their loved ones delayed.

Ruto Heads to Vienna to Cheer Kipchoge
Deputy President William Ruto is expected to lead Kenyan dignitaries to cheer world marathon record holder Eliud Kipchoge as he battles to break the two-hour marathon barrier on Saturday.
The latest development means the DP will miss several functions scheduled for the weekend including the burial of Boni Khalwale’s wife in Kakamega.
Over the past few months, the country has witnessed a worrying rise in cases of police officers being involved in criminal activities, most of them violent in nature. Despite assurances by the police bosses that the unit has changed from a force to a service, the leopards seem to be feeding on the same sheep they are meant to guard. Do you think the police unit has changed as we are always told or the narrative on the ground is different?
