I am deeply disturbed and outraged by this video from Busia County Referral Hospital. If it is true that the hospital has detained these young mothers and their newborns as alleged simply because they cannot pay cash for maternal services then it is illegal, unconstitutional and inhumane. This amounts to unlawful confinement and a gross violation of the dignity of our mothers. The following county officials MUST urgently investigate this matter and act immediately: • H.E. Dr. Paul Nyongesa Otuoma, Governor of Busia County • The County Executive Committee Member for Health & Sanitation, H.E Hon. Arthur Papa Odera who is also the Deputy Governor of Busia I will personally follow up on this. No mother in Busia should give birth in fear of being imprisoned at a public hospital jameni.

A wrongful impeachment is not only a legal issue but a scar that follows a person into every political contest, appointment and general perception. In a resounding affirmation of the rule of law, the Court of Appeal rendered its decision in Kisumu COA CA No. 008 of 2020 quashing the unlawful impeachment of my friend, George Onyango Oloo whom I represented at the Court of Appeal. Hon. Oloo was the Speaker of the Kisumu County Assembly until he wasn’t, following an impeachment process that came fast and furiously; completed in an unprecedented three hours! Three hours to prepare a defense; three hours to appear before the House for the debate and the same three hours to fight for his political career. The matter went before the ELRC contesting the manner in which the County Assembly of Kisumu conducted the impeachment proceedings and instead of examining the glaring procedural injustice, trial Court focused on the substance of the allegations in the motion for impeachment before the Assembly, reasoning that those were very serious allegations they justified the impeachment. On Appeal, I argued one simple irrefutable principle; the right to fair hearing is absolute, Art 25. That the concept of fairness plays a major role in the enjoyment of this particular fundamental right which extends beyond mere listening to parties present their case(s). The Court of Appeal agreed with us, set aside the impeachment for being fundamentally unconstitutional and awarded compensation for the unlawful impeachment. More significantly, the decision released Hon. George Onyango Oloo from the political and reputational stigma of unlawful impeachment. That to me did more than rectify a legal wrong.

I can’t be impeached as Lagos assembly speaker — Obasa roars The impeached speaker of the Lagos state house of assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has criticised the procedure that led to his removal from office. Speaking during a welcome rally at his residence in GRA, Ikeja on Saturday, January 25, the former speaker described the corruption allegations against him as “fictitious and unsubstantiated”. He maintained that he was not afraid of being impeached but emphasised that due process was not followed. The former speaker alleged that his removal was orchestrated while he was away, and accused the state commissioner of police of aiding the process. According to him, “There’s no impeachment in national assembly. You can’t impeach the speaker. I believe in removal and I am not afraid of being removed, after all, it is not my father’s chieftaincy title. I am representing my people and they have returned me six times. If you want to do anything, do it well. They did the removal all because I was out of the country. Lagos is a special place, we cannot denigrate the state. When former speaker, Rt. Hon Jokotola Pelumi was removed, he was in the assembly and we did not invite policemen. When my sister, former deputy speaker of the House, Hon. Adefunmilayo Tejuosho was removed, we did not invite the police. They should not discredit an innocent person, they should prove their allegations against me. The Lagos State House of Assembly is above the common standard of excellence. I believe in the image of our institution, we must not destroy it and I will never partake in its destruction. I appreciate the members of the Governance Advisory Council (GAC) and Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu of the state, he is my brother and he always calls me his younger brother.” Obasa was impeached on January 13 by more than two-thirds of the 40-member legislative house over alleged misconduct and sundry offences. His Deputy, Mojisola Meranda, was immediately elected the new speaker, becoming the first female to take charge of the legislative body in the South-West state.

Did you know? Women currently hold less than 5% of seats in Nigeria’s National Assembly. The Reserved Seats for Women Bill proposes a game-changing amendment: adding dedicated seats for women across federal and state legislatures; temporarily, for 16 years; to level the playing field and unlock equitable representation. It is important to note that there are currently three Bills before the House, all seeking to establish reserved seats for women’s representation in the National Assembly. Two of these Bills propose one reserved seat in the Senate and two in the House of Representatives, while the third Bill seeks one reserved seat each in both chambers. The third bill, which proposes one reserved seat in each chamber of the National Assembly, has been adopted by all parties as the consensus bill driving the push for reserved seats for women. With champions like the Honourable Speaker Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen PhD GCON and Deputy Speaker Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu CON, leading the charge, and support from UN Women, EU, Gender Mobile and civic organizations, the momentum is building and change is on the horizon. Now, it’s your turn. Raise your voice. Let your representatives at the National Assembly know that you support the Reserved Seats Bill. Because real democracy means every voice counts, and every woman counts.

India pledges support to ousted Bangladeshi Prime Minister #SheikhHasina. Reports say China, United States and #PakistanISI have orchestrated this trouble to install a regime inimical to India. Meanwhile, Interim govt is being established in #Bangladesh by their Army, under which: – #KhaledaZia, the house-arrested chief of the opposition BNP, which has openly sided with Pakistan and extremists in Bangladesh, is released. – #UnitedStates has welcomed the toppling of Hasina govt. As a matter of concern, a few days back, PM Hasina had said that a Western country had coerced her to carve a new nation inside Bangladesh. – During the recent Beijing visit of PM Hasina, #China mistreated her, after which she cut short her China tour. – #BangladeshArmy has called upon Dr. #SalimullahKhan, an intellectual known for his leftist leaning and Prof. #AsifNazrul, who has always opposed Sheikh Hasina, to form the Interim govt. ‘Nobel laureate’ #MuhammadYunus will be the Chief Advisor to this govt.

Simple Beginnings to the Apex of India’s Judiciary - A Journey Celebrated! Attended the felicitation ceremony of Chief Justice of India, Hon. Shri Bhushan Gavai ji, organised by the Maharashtra Legislature at Vidhan Bhavan, Mumbai. To see a son of Maharashtra, upholding the timeless values of simplicity, integrity, and compassion passed down by his father, late Dadasaheb Gavai, being honoured on such a meaningful platform was a moment to cherish. His journey inspires countless others. From studying in a municipal school, unfamiliar with English till Class 7, to rising to the Nation’s highest judicial post - Hon. Shri Bhushan Gavai ji has shown how sincerity, values, and determination can shape extraordinary destinies. As a government pleader, when the High Court ordered the demolition of decades-old slums in Nagpur, it was he who moved the Supreme Court, secured a stay, and safeguarded the homes and dignity of countless families. He has consistently upheld that justice must be fair, humane, and in public interest. His landmark verdict in the long-stalled Bhopal highway case reflected this belief. Amidst environmental hurdles, his bench swiftly brought together key decision makers and directed a resolution within a month. The move not only cleared the highway but also finalised a crucial mitigation plan and completed the vital tiger corridor, proving development and conservation can progress hand in hand. Recently, his important judgment on Vidarbha’s ‘Zudpi Jungles’ cleared several long-pending projects, secured land for forest development, and provided timely relief to local communities. Every chapter in his career reflects a people-first, balanced, and compassionate approach to justice. The Maharashtra Legislature was proud to felicitate such an outstanding son of this land, a man whose life and work continue to inspire through wisdom, courage, and quiet strength. Union MoS Ramdas Athawale ji, Legislative Council Chairman Prof. Ram Shinde, Legislative Assembly Speaker Adv Rahul Narwekar, DCM Eknath Shinde ji, DCM Ajitdada Pawar, Legislative Council Deputy Chairperson Dr. Neelamtai Gorhe, Legislative Assembly Deputy Speaker Anna Bansode, Minister Chandrakantdada Patil and other members of the Legislature were present.

Jai Sahakar! Celebrating the Pillars of Maharashtra's Cooperative Movement Distributed the 'Sahakar Gaurav Awards' organised by Maharashtra Rajya Sahakari Sangh and Sahakari Maharashtra on the occasion of the International Day of Cooperatives. On this occasion, presented awards to those who have demonstrated commendable excellence and dedication in the cooperative sector. The cooperative sector has a rich legacy dating back to the British era, when it first emerged to protect farmers from the exploitation of moneylenders. Today, Maharashtra has the largest penetration of the cooperative sector, with over 2 lakh cooperative institutions actively driving growth. In this journey, the Maharashtra Rajya Sahakari Sangh has played an invaluable role in strengthening the grassroots foundation. The cooperative housing movement in Maharashtra is flourishing rapidly, directly fulfilling the housing dreams of millions, while banking cooperatives are ensuring that even the last person in society has access to credit. Recognising its transformative power, Hon PM Narendra Modi Ji established a dedicated Ministry of Cooperation on 6 July 2021, appointing Hon Union Home Minister Amitbhai Shah as the nation’s first Cooperation Minister. Through the creation of a comprehensive National Cooperation Policy and robust structural reforms, the sector is being actively uplifted, proving that cooperatives can stand the test of time in the 21st century. Because the cooperative world operates closest to the common man, it must continue to thrive. The Maharashtra government stands firmly behind this sector to ensure its sustained growth and prosperity. Assembly Speaker Adv. Rahul Narwekar, BJP State President MLA Ravindra Chavan, Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha ji, Minister Uday Samant, MoS Dr. Pankaj Bhoyar, MLC Pravin Darekar, MLC Prasad Lad, MLC Chitratai Wagh, MLC Sanjay Bhende ji, MLA Dr. Rahul Awade, MLA Dr. Vinay Kore and other dignitaries were present.

Fellow Kenyans, If you have followed me for a while, you are aware of the work I do around corruption and the insane level of pilferage and wastage happening in our governments. Particularly at the county level. I have covered many, many counties. Check out my PL for analyses of Turkana, Siaya, Nakuru, Murang'a, Kajiado, Tana River, Kilifi, Mombasa, Migori, Mandera, Wajir, Kakamega, etc. I have also covered Kiambu County Kenya. - my home county. I have told you in no uncertain terms that Kiambu County governor Governor Kimani Wamatangi, EGH 🇰🇪 is one of the most corrupt governors in Kenya. And I tell you this, as a direct victim of the County Government's insane level of corruption. In late 2023, I applied for a permit to construct a block of apartments in the county. I submitted every single document required. In a period of around 3 weeks, Kiambu County Kenya. provided an invoice for the said services - that differed by over KSH 100,000 even though the underlying fact pattern was exactly the same. The county government agent was also the same. The only thing different was the day. When I escalated the issue and sought an explanation, I was told to pay the smaller invoice and not make a big fuss about. What this tells you is that, the county government is a den of debauchery where services are sold to the highest bidder. Immediately after, Kiambu County Kenya. - through Governor Kimani Wamatangi, EGH 🇰🇪 and the CEC overseeing licensing and physical development - a charlatan by the name of Ms. Salome, confiscated and hid my documents for 7 months! I was then approached by Kiambu County Kenya. officials who offered to help, but only after I pay them a bribe. They shook me down for KSH 40,000 and my documents immediately re-appeared. Last year, we were all treated to drama of the century when Tatu City held a press conference to detail a shake down of Tatu City whereby Governor Kimani Wamatangi, EGH 🇰🇪 and his sidekick (or sidechick) Ms. Salome were demanding KSH 4 billion in bribes in order for the County Government to do its damn job and approve Tatu City's development plan. Through this shakedown, Governor Kimani Wamatangi, EGH 🇰🇪 and his sidechick have managed to deprive the citizens of Kiambu economic opportunities - jobs, contracts, etc. This, in a county where the 18-34 years of age bracket faces a 67% unemployment rate, and a generation of young Kenyans have lost all hope and are consumed by alcoholism due to lack of economic opportunities. So, waking up today to see news of Governor Kimani Wamatangi, EGH 🇰🇪 's arrest for his corruption did not surprise me one bit. None one bit. The surprise to me came when I saw the alleged total of his corruption - KSH 1.5 billion. Which is the understatement of the century. I therefore thought it makes sense to summarize my previous audit findings of Kiambu County Kenya. for anyone who has been hiding under a rock and missed that information. I also attach a couple of media files for you. Attachment 1 shows Governor Kimani Wamatangi, EGH 🇰🇪 from earlier today at EACC offices. Attachment 2 shows Tatu City describe allegations against Kiambu County Kenya. and Governor Kimani Wamatangi, EGH 🇰🇪 In Clip 3 - you will hear me talking to Kiambu County Kenya. officials who, about the insane level of corruption in the county, and they confirm all of it is true. The last picture shows a summary of the total financial malfeasance. Over KSH 10 billion. Here is a summary: Across two consecutive years, Kiambu County Kenya. has demonstrated entrenched patterns of financial mismanagement, gross inefficiencies, and outright theft. The Auditor-General issued an adverse audit opinion in 2022-2023 due to unreliable financial statements, missing documentation, unsupported expenditures, and fraudulent activities. Audit findings are summarized under the following categories: (1) Missing or Potentially Stolen Funds – Funds lost due to irregular payments, unexplained variances, and unauthorized transactions. (2) Wasted or Inefficiently Used Funds – Funds allocated but not effectively used, often tied to poor project implementation, overspending on salaries, or stalled developments. (3) Unaccounted or Unsupported Funds – Funds disbursed without audit-proof documentation, rendering verification impossible. 1. Missing or Potentially Stolen Funds Across both years, Kiambu County was unable to explain or document billions of shillings, raising red flags of potential embezzlement and systemic fraud. Key Issues & Figures (1) Unexplained Transfers to Government Units >>>Kshs.615.2 million (2022/2023): County claimed transfers to other agencies, but the entries lacked documentation or logical basis. (2) Voided IFMIS Transactions (2023/2024) >>>Kshs.921 million in canceled payments had no justification or authorization from Treasury, suggesting manipulation. (3) Payroll and Retirement Fraud (Both Years) >>>Kshs.102.7 million in unexplained/artificial salary arrears (2022/2023), including 20 employees paid over Kshs.500,000 each. >>>96 employees retained after retirement age (2023/2024). >>>Kshs.243.9 million lost to irregular promotions and acting appointments. (4) Fake Agricultural Inputs (2022/2023) >>>Kshs.27.85 million paid for fertilizer and chicks that were never delivered. (5) Bank Account Variances (Both Years) >>>Kshs.383 million in unreconciled bank balances (2022/2023). >>>Kshs.118 million (2023/2024) in unexplained differences between cashbooks and actual bank statements. (6) Outstanding Imprests (Cash advances) Kshs.25.8 million (2023/2024) in unreturned advances—some held since before 2022. Total Missing or Potentially Stolen Funds: Kshs.2.44 billion 2. Wasted or Inefficiently Used Funds Instead of using public funds for service delivery, Kiambu County wasted massive sums on inflated salaries, stalled projects, and poor budgeting. Key Issues & Figures (1) Excessive Spending on Salaries (Both Years) >>>In 2022/2023, 61% of total budget went to compensation—far above the legal 35% limit. Governor Kimani Wamatangi, EGH 🇰🇪 and Kiambu County Kenya. spent 61% of revenue on 1% of the county population, its politicians, friends, and staff. >>>In 2023/2024, the wage bill hit Kshs.6.29 billion, while services crumbled. (2) Minimal Development Allocation (2022/2023) >>>Only 11% of the Kshs.17 billion budget went to development.

Total Wasted or Inefficiently Used Funds: Kshs.6.12 billion 3. Unaccounted or Unsupported Funds A chronic issue across both years—Kiambu County could not provide supporting documents for billions in expenditure. Key Issues & Figures (1) Unsupported Asset Acquisition (2022/2023) >>>County claimed to acquire Kshs.764.8 million in assets, but register supports only Kshs.331 million, leaving a Kshs.433.9 million variance. (2) Unsupported Pending Bills (2022/2023) >>>Kshs.166.9 million in unexplained “pending bills”. Kshs.748.9 million worth of unpaid bills from 2017/18 still on the books.

Total Unaccounted or Unsupported Funds: Kshs.2.69 billion Now, to the citizens of Kiambu. You deserve better. You deserve a Governor that understands that the sole purpose of a county government is to serve you. Not politicians, their friends, and criminal associates. You deserve smart leaders who will not spend 61% of the entire county budget on county politicians and staff, who are less than 1% of the county population. When a Governor oversees a county that spends 61% of the county revenue on 1% of the population, the damage that this does in incalculable. It means you won't get a functioning hospital. Or roads. Or social services. You deserve a governor that will not use the trust bestowed on him or herself to shake down investors, such as Tatu City who have chosen Kiambu over other counties. When investors like Tatu City are unable to invest - the loser is you, the citizen who needs a job, an opportunity to do honest business with the government, and you who needs infrastructure. What the announcement by the EACC does not tell you, is the amount of unnecessary pain and suffering, and injustice that is meted out by corrupt officials on citizens. There is a generation of Kenyans today who will not achieve their dreams - because Governor Kimani Wamatangi, EGH 🇰🇪 prioritizes his greed and desire to be a billionaire over everyone else. Millions of young people lost to alcoholism and other vices - because they cannot find employment, or other economic opportunities. The time to end this pathetic marathon of thieves in government such as H.E. Waititu BabaYao Hon. William Kabogo Governor Kimani Wamatangi, EGH 🇰🇪 is coming in 2027. That will be your opportunity to choose to stay in the mud or move forward. What will you do? Eric Latiff Mizani254 Abdi EACC Kiambu County Kenya.

Fellow Kenyans, If you have followed me for a while, you are aware of the work I do around corruption and the insane level of pilferage and wastage happening in our governments. Particularly at the county level. I have covered many, many counties. Check out my PL for analyses of Turkana, Siaya, Nakuru, Murang'a, Kajiado, Tana River, Kilifi, Mombasa, Migori, Mandera, Wajir, Kakamega, etc. I have also covered Kiambu County Kenya. - my home county. I have told you in no uncertain terms that Kiambu County governor Governor Kimani Wamatangi, EGH 🇰🇪 is one of the most corrupt governors in Kenya. And I tell you this, as a direct victim of the County Government's insane level of corruption. In late 2023, I applied for a permit to construct a block of apartments in the county. I submitted every single document required. In a period of around 3 weeks, Kiambu County Kenya. provided an invoice for the said services - that differed by over KSH 100,000 even though the underlying fact pattern was exactly the same. The county government agent was also the same. The only thing different was the day. When I escalated the issue and sought an explanation, I was told to pay the smaller invoice and not make a big fuss about. What this tells you is that, the county government is a den of debauchery where services are sold to the highest bidder. Immediately after, Kiambu County Kenya. - through Governor Kimani Wamatangi, EGH 🇰🇪 and the CEC overseeing licensing and physical development - a charlatan by the name of Ms. Salome, confiscated and hid my documents for 7 months! I was then approached by Kiambu County Kenya. officials who offered to help, but only after I pay them a bribe. They shook me down for KSH 40,000 and my documents immediately re-appeared. Last year, we were all treated to drama of the century when Tatu City held a press conference to detail a shake down of Tatu City whereby Governor Kimani Wamatangi, EGH 🇰🇪 and his sidekick (or sidechick) Ms. Salome were demanding KSH 4 billion in bribes in order for the County Government to do its damn job and approve Tatu City's development plan.

JUST IN: Prof. Ortuanya emerges 16th UNN vice chancellor, thanks President Tinubu, Governor Mbah for historic milestone Professor Simon Ortuanya has been appointed the 16th Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), marking a historic moment as the first indigenous Vice Chancellor from the university’s host Enugu North Senatorial District, also known as Nsukka Zone, since it was established in 1960. In his acceptance speech after the announcement was made at the meeting of the Governing Council held at the Enugu campus of the university on Sunday, Prof. Ortuanya paid tribute to key figures who he said played vital roles in making the milestone possible. “In a special way, I appreciate our President, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for the transformation he has brought to bear in education in Nigeria. We are indeed proud of him, and very proud of his administration,” he said. He also extended appreciation to the governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah, for what he described as his exceptional drive and tenacity in helping actualize the long-standing aspiration of the Nsukka people. “Let me appreciate our Governor, His Excellency, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, for his determination and commitment, for his doggedness and single-mindedness in making sure that today becomes a reality,” the new Vice Chancellor said. Prof. Ortuanya also acknowledged several others for their contributions to his emergence, such as the Acting Vice Chancellor, Prof. Oguejiofor Ujam; the Chancellor and Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, the Ojaja II; the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council, Engr. Kayode Olubunmi Ojo; members of the selection board; professors; academic and non-academic staff; students; and the entire university community for being part of the historic moment. Reaffirming his commitment to service, Prof. Ortuanya pledged to “serve this university with all my heart and with all my strength,” promising to “reposition the University of Nigeria, to bring its glorious days back.” “We will redeem our name; we will rebuild the confidence. We will build new dreams, tread the path that has never been walked upon before,” he vowed. He called on all stakeholders, academic and non-academic, to join hands with him in the five-year journey to restore the university’s founding vision “to restore the dignity of man,” adding, “I am extending my hands of friendship and fellowship and brotherhood to each and every one; after all, we are one family.” Earlier, while announcing the new Vice Chancellor, the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council, Engr. Kayode Olubunmi Ojo noted that the process began under the previous Governing Council with 26 candidates shortlisted. “The process was rigorously and fairly done, with proper questions asked on matters concerning the growth of the university,” Ojo said. “The council wanted a professor who is sound in education, with an extensive network outside the university that can attract a lot of patronage. Prof. Ortuanya was found more than qualified to lead this great university, turn it around, and uplift it from decay in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu, especially the first-generation universities, of which UNN is the second of the five.” Prof. Ortuanya will succeed the Acting Vice Chancellor, Prof. Oguejiofor Ujam, and is expected to steer the affairs of the University of Nigeria for the next five years. A distinguished legal scholar and administrator, Prof. Simon Uchenna Ortuanya, SJD, FCIArb, FCIA, is a Professor of Law and the current Dean, Faculty of Law at Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT), where he has been credited with transforming the faculty’s academic environment and enhancing the global competitiveness of its graduates.

𝐕𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐎: 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐇𝐚𝐬 𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐑𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐓𝐨 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞? 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐎𝐮𝐭 𝐎𝐝𝐢𝐥𝐢 Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has sharply criticized a former Rivers State governor, Dr. Peter Odili, accusing him of self-interest. He also asked between himself and Odili, who has turned Rivers State into his personal estate? Speaking at a thanksgiving service organised by the factional Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Hon. Martin Chike Amaewhule, at the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Oro-Igwe/Eliogbolo Archdeaconry Church of the Holy Spirit, Eliozu Parish, Port Harcourt, on Sunday, Wike, through a statement by his media aide Lere Olayinka, lamented Odili’s alleged habit of prioritizing personal gain over statesmanship. Olayinka quoted Wike as saying that it was unfortunate that somebody who is supposed to be seen as an elder statesman and called a father can reduce himself to a sycophant and a trader. He asked; “Must you be a trader all the time? As governor for eight years, what else are you looking for?” The Minister said; “You know, I didn’t want to say anything. But somebody called me last night and told me what someone said on social media. I said until I read it myself. This morning, I read in the newspapers what our former governor, Sir Dr Peter Odili, said. “What did he say? He said that the present governor has been able to stop one man who wanted to convert Rivers State to his personal estate. He further, pointed to several appointments allegedly dominated by Odili's family members and questioned his past contributions as governor. “Between him and myself, who has turned Rivers State to his personal estate? His wife is a chairman of Governing Council, his daughter is a Commissioner, his other daughter is a Judge, and he is the general overseer. Who has now turned Rivers State to his private estate? I am sure if care is not taken, if there is a chance, he can even arrange a marriage for the governor. “It was his nephew, his late senior brother’s son that was recommended for Commissioner. He took the slot and gave it to his own daughter. Someone who didn’t remember to stand for the son of his late elder brother, is that an elder statesman?” He added, “All of you here remember when I was governor, this same Odili praised me to high heaven. In fact, he said then that all past governors in Rivers State combined did not do better than me. “In 2007, after he left office, he couldn’t come near power in the State because Amaechi was the governor then. He was gone! “Like somebody said that God will use someone to lift up someone. When I came in as governor in 2015, I won’t use the word resurrected, but I brought him back to life. “All of us know about Pamo University. But for us, there wouldn’t have been anything called Pamo University. Rivers State was sponsoring 100 students per session and for every semester, each of the students was paying nothing less than N5m. Then, Rivers people were attacking me up and down. “I personally called Julius Berger to build a mansion for him to live. He was calling everyone to the house then, telling them, come and see what Wike has done for me. Wike has shown me love. He was taking them round the house. “Now, because you have organised a Christmas Carol for the governor, I didn’t say you should not do your Christmas Carol. But why reduce yourself to such a laughing stock? People will still see it on television how he was telling the whole world then how God used me to bring him back to life politically. “Why not do your Christmas Carol, collect what you can collect and leave me alone? Wike also expressed disappointment in Odili's recent comments praising the current Rivers State governor while undermining Wike’s achievements. --- Follow us for more breaking news and videos

Someone who didn’t remember to stand for the son of his late elder brother, is that an elder statesman?” He added, “All of you here remember when I was governor, this same Odili praised me to high heaven. In fact, he said then that all past governors in Rivers State combined did not do better than me. “In 2007, after he left office, he couldn’t come near power in the State because Amaechi was the governor then. He was gone! “Like somebody said that God will use someone to lift up someone. When I came in as governor in 2015, I won’t use the word resurrected, but I brought him back to life. “All of us know about Pamo University. But for us, there wouldn’t have been anything called Pamo University. Rivers State was sponsoring 100 students per session and for every semester, each of the students was paying nothing less than N5m. Then, Rivers people were attacking me up and down. “I personally called Julius Berger to build a mansion for him to live. He was calling everyone to the house then, telling them, come and see what Wike has done for me. Wike has shown me love. He was taking them round the house. “Now, because you have organised a Christmas Carol for the governor, I didn’t say you should not do your Christmas Carol. But why reduce yourself to such a laughing stock? People will still see it on television how he was telling the whole world then how God used me to bring him back to life politically. “Why not do your Christmas Carol, collect what you can collect and leave me alone? Wike also expressed disappointment in Odili's recent comments praising the current Rivers State governor while undermining Wike’s achievements. --- Follow us for more breaking news and videos

The Kenyan Constitution of 2010, while heralded as a progressive framework, has critical flaws in its systems of oversight and accountability, deliberately structured to enable corruption and shield those in power. A prime example is this farcical senatorial hearing involving Nairobi Governor Sakaja Arthur Johnson , designed not to deliver justice but to manipulate public perception through psychological tactics. Extracted froma 15-minute clip, Sakaja barely speaks, save for a single accusation against a committee member for allegedly profiting from garbage collection tenders. The rest of the time is consumed by procedural squabbles, debates over standing orders, etiquette, and personal accusations - none of which address the core issues of governance or accountability. This is not a flaw but a feature of the system. The chaos is orchestrated to create a spectacle, diverting attention from substantive issues like mismanagement or looting of public resources. By flooding the session with irrelevant arguments, the oversight process becomes a theater of distraction, gaslighting the public into believing accountability is being pursued when, in reality, nothing is resolved. The psychological manipulation is deliberate. These hearings are structured to manufacture outrage, feeding gossip bloggers and mainstream (githeri) media idiots with sensational but hollow narratives. The goal is to keep the public emotionally engaged - angry or entertained - while ensuring no real scrutiny occurs. This tactic relies on the “illusion of action,” where the appearance of rigorous oversight masks the absence of meaningful consequences. Governors like the hopelessly and irredeemably corrupt Sakaja exploit this by remaining silent or deflecting blame, knowing the system is rigged to protect them. Another layer of deception lies in the composition of these oversight bodies. Many members of such committees lack deep ties to the regions they oversee - none in the Sakaja hearing like Edwin Sifuna Dr Boni Khalwale, MD, CBS @RichardOnyonka_ were born or raised in Nairobi, reducing their personal investment in the city’s welfare. This disconnect, enabled by the Constitution’s failure to mandate local representation, ensures that oversight lacks passion or urgency, further eroding accountability. Since the advent of devolution, these mock hearings have become a predictable charade. Governors, often shielded by bribes or political alliances, use these sessions to stall, distract, and sanitize their looting. The public is left with a scripted comedy show, where the only outcome is the perpetuation of corruption. The solution lies in dismantling this psychological manipulation. The masses must recognize these tactics for what they are: a deliberate attempt to hoodwink and pacify. Governors and their enablers must be made to understand that the public sees through their deception. By rejecting these spectacles and demanding genuine accountability - through mass action, civic education, or constitutional reform - the people can reclaim power from a system designed to fail them. The time for accepting this orchestrated nonsense is over.
