Dondoo: “…I want to ask ODM members to desist from commenting on the unity talks between ODM and UDA…” — A former ODM chairman, now a CS. The Orange Democratic Movement, which we joined because Baba defended our right to speak, even when he disagreed with us, until the day he died? If unity is such a good thing, what is wrong with wanting to make it easier so that we can focus on consolidating support for the President and strengthening our party? We will speak because this party was built by men and women who spoke up. CONVINCE us. Don’t GAG us. That same vibrant democracy we want for Kenya must be enjoyed within ODM. It is the only way to strengthen the party. As things stand, TUTAM BILA CONDITIONS. Usawa Ni Sawa. Mbele Pamoja.

Nairobi is getting ready for a world-class showdown. ⚽ German giants Bayern Munich and Dutch powerhouse AFC Ajax is coming to the new Raila Odinga International Stadium on 5th January 2027. But here’s the thing: Nairobi has been hosting world-class stars long before the footballers arrived. Just a few kilometres from the city, Nairobi National Park is home to lions, rhinos, giraffes, buffalo and hundreds of bird species; no transfer window required. So when you come for the big game, make some time for the other stars of Nairobi. Catch the football. Then catch the wild. #ThisIsOurWild #ExploreExperienceConserve

Since they've chosen not to believe the real life experiences of Kenyans benefitting from a levelled playing field in the healthcare sector, we've found Barack Obama to speak to them in a way that pleases the Lord.

The roots of negative ethnicity in Kenya run deep. The psychology of it has lessened but it never fully went away. The legacy of marginalization of certain communities means that we started the race behind with respect to the resources in our communities, and the lack of representation in Project Kenya. All those things didn't just go away, they built up over 400 years and they aren't going to go away just in 60 years. Or in our lifetime. WE COULD EXPECT THAT EACH TIME WE TOOK TWO STEPS FORWARD, THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME PUSHBACK. BECAUSE THERE ARE FORCES IN OUR SOCIETY THAT DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP STATUS AND PRIVILEDGE. THEY DO NOT WANT A LEVEL-PLAYING FIELD. So, we always knew there was going to be some pushback. The key is to be able to sustain both our spirits, our hope and our focus. AND WE VOTE, WE GET A WIN, WE CONSOLIDATE THAT POWER, AND THEN WE GO ALL OVER AGAIN TO GO AFTER THE NEXT INJUSTICE. And sometimes it gets exhausting, and sometimes it doesn't feel fair. But the idea that you would just stop and give up is something that would be a betrayal to our ancestors.

When you start out in your career, or join a new organisation and want to impress, it’s easy to believe the more you do, the more you’re worth. But busy and USEFUL aren’t the same thing. My Friday reflection: lnkd.in/p/ePT7Jbjz #TheHumanizedLeader

The face of HIV in Africa is too often that of an adolescent girl. Last year, 3,000 adolescent girls and young women (aged 15–24 yrs) became infected with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa every week. Keeping girls in school helps protect them from HIV, gender-based violence and early marriage — yet tens of millions of adolescent girls are out of school in Africa. Ensuring girls can stay in school is crucial. Education is a right, an equaliser of opportunities, and it empowers girls for better life outcomes. Africa needs its youth in school to end AIDS. #InternationalYouthDay #YouthDay

KEWOPA joined the @KenyaGovernors -Kenya Consultative Forum on Women's Political Leadership under the G7 Strategy, confronting the harsh reality that incremental progress is no longer enough after the 2022 elections saw women securing just 10% of single-constituency seats and 14.9% of governorships. To break these systemic barriers, KEWOPA is building a sustainable leadership pipeline across all governance levels. #womeninpoliticske #genderequality
