Ruto Locked Out of Uhuru-Raila Meeting, Simcard Hawkers Face 6 Months in Jail & Uhuru’s Laughter Angers Jubilee Operatives

Good morning,

Referendum or no referendum? This looks like the fresh battle line between Deputy President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga on how to implement the recommendations proposed by the BBI taskforce.

Ruto and his allies have advocated for the changes to be implemented through parliament. But on Thursday, Raila told Kenyans to prepare for a referendum because the process must be people owned.

Which way Kenyans? If you thought BBI would unite the political class, then you still have a lot to learn about Kenyan politics.

Away from the BBI noise, just how many people lost their lives in the West Pokot tragedy? While the county government, led by Governor John Lonyangapuo, has put the figure at 58, Government spokesperson Cyrus Oguna has said only 43 people died. Whom should we believe?
