For the first time, you have not blamed Kikuyus for all your problems, but a tone of victimhood is evident in every tweet. As NFD leaders, you never take responsibility for anything.

Read our next article in this ongoing investigation that shows how the government's seizure of this private property and arrest of its owner further exposes the eco-tyranny happening in California...

But you the political class of NEP are the people who have been blaming Kikuyus for ALL your problem as people of NEP. Now tell us whether it's a Kikuyu who has switched off the lights in Mandera.

Has the population reduced from 4m to 200k? You see my guy, siasa mbaya maisha mbaya. We all stood out to call out the rogue gvt while all along you were clapping for it. Turns out you had electricity for two days and was taken out later. Bad times uhu!

Demonstrations in Mandera town for the 2nd straight day, with residents protesting the power blackout that has persisted for months. The Kenya Power & Lighting Company Plc. has failed to give residents electricity; no proper reason. Just the usual neglect of the region by the policy guys in Nairobi. Power is not free; we pay our bills. Waziri, Opiyo Wandayi , this is unacceptable. State House Kenya

Mandera County is under siege. Jubaland forces from Somalia have crossed into Kenyan territory and are terrorizing our people, yet the CS for Interior continues to deny their presence. Even the President himself has chosen inaction, appearing too weak to defend the sovereignty of our nation. The Governor of Mandera has pleaded with the Commander-in-Chief to act, but instead, it seems Mr. Ruto is deliberately working to destabilize this country. A government that cannot protect its borders or its citizens has no moral right to call itself a government of the people.

Mandera County Government: Haji Barre, a leader in my hometown of Rhamu, laid out the weaknesses in the county administration in a rally held in the town yesterday & attended by the Governor. He decried the trend in NE Kenya counties where the resources & administration is centralized in the county headquarters, and mostly in the office of the Governor. Sadly the subcounties exist only in name. The County Government Act has clear provisions on how the county is to be managed but is ignored. Residents expect better.

I’ve just been tagged in a video showing the state of Gedalo Primary School in Mandera. This is not politics. This is about dignity. Mandera receives millions in county funds and NG-CDF every year. The governor, Mohamed Aden Khalif, has been reported to own multiple properties in Nairobi. So a simple question must be asked, where is the money meant for schools and children going? Leadership is not measured by wealth accumulated, but by lives improved. The people of Mandera deserve answers. And ultimately, they deserve leadership that puts children first.

Mandera County Government: It's sad to see poor women who carry out sanitation and environment work in Mandera town complain about non-payment of their stipends for five months. This is unacceptable. A shame on the conscience of the administration. Their pay is meagre & can be paid at the time it is due. County bosses are apparently in Holland to receive a prize for urban greening, made possible by these poor women!

It is now the seventh day – something that has never happened before – of an emergency situation at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Because of Russian shelling, the plant has been cut off from power, disconnected from the electrical grid, and is being supplied with electricity by diesel generators. This is extraordinary. The generators and the plant were not designed for this, have never operated in this mode for long, and we already have information that one generator has failed. It is Russian shelling that prevents repair of the power lines to the plant and the restoration of basic safety. This is a threat to everyone – no terrorist in the world has ever dared to do to a nuclear plant what Russia is doing. And it is right that the world does not stay silent.

The commissioning of the Kimuka Power Substation in Kajiado West is a significant milestone in addressing the longstanding power issues affecting parts of Kikuyu Constituency. This new substation is poised to ensure a stable and reliable power supply for our rapidly growing population, particularly within the Thogoto - Gikambura - Nachu circuit. The Kimuka Power Substation will play a critical role in enhancing the quality of life for our residents and supporting local economic development. By evacuating 100% green energy from Suswa, this substation aligns with our commitment to sustainable energy solutions and environmental stewardship. William Samoei Ruto, PhD State House Kenya

MANDERA COUNTY GOVERNMENT SHAME! December 2025. Banissa town. Subcounty Hqtrs. It's surface water pan, currently the only source of water to the subcounty hqs, in pathetic condition. 62 years after independence. 13 years into devolution. After Sh 150 billion spent by the County Government. And sh 6 billion allocated to water in the past 3 years of this clueless, pityless county administration. And in the backyard of the current Governor! The least they are asking for is the protection of the pan so that there is no contamination. It's not asking too much. The Governor spent millions on a chopper in the subcounty campagins last month. This week, he’s spending millions to move the Jamhuri Day celebrations from County Headquarters Mandera town to Elwak town to massage his ego. In the past month, he reportedly paid 20 bloggers sh 100K each to highlight his reports marking 3 years in office. Sadly, a fraction of this money would secure this water pan from pollution. A few months ago, a borehole was drilled 4 kms away. The priority should be to equip it & pipe the water to the town. When priorities are misplaced, our folks suffer and the dudes in office don’t feel it. Waa musiibaqutayaal! . May Allah ease the hardships of our folks.

VIDEO: FAAN Confirms Power Outage At Lagos Airport, Blames Switchover A viral video has shown the moment Lagos International Airport plunged into darkness due to a power outage. The blackout, which reportedly happened on Friday night led to passengers navigating through the terminal using their mobile phones for light, as shown in a video shared by Francis Izu on his X account on Saturday. Reacting to the video in an official statement on Saturday, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria clarified that the outage occurred during the process of switching power sources after losing electricity from the national grid. The agency assured that it is diligently working to restore the supply. The statement said, “We experienced a 2-3 minute outage at Murtala Muhammed International Airport yesterday, February 2nd, 2024 while switching over to our backup power supply after losing power from the Grid. “The electrical team has identified the challenges with the automatic switchover and is working judiciously to restore this immediately. “We have put a plan in place leveraging the alternative sources of power to ensure we do not have a recurrence.” Credit: X | heartsmenders2, FAAN_Official --- Follow us for more breaking news and videos

ON FALSEHOODS PEDDLED BY MR. GACHAGUA It has come to our attention that Mr. Rigathi Gachagua has once again chosen to recklessly peddle blatant falsehoods in a desperate attempt to mislead the public for cheap political mileage. 1. FALSE CLAIM: That the President met “other people” during his visit to Mandera This claim is not just false it is a calculated, malevolent lie. As a leader who personally accompanied H.E. President William Ruto from the moment he landed in Mandera to the moment he departed, I affirm without fear of contradiction that the President only met officially recognized Mandera leaders and the public in open forums. Every aspect of the President’s one-day itinerary was transparent and in the public domain. No private, backdoor, or suspicious meetings took place. The suggestion by Mr. Gachagua that the President met with unknown individuals is a shameful fabrication designed to sow division and confusion among the people. It is deeply unfortunate that a man who once postured as a symbol of truth has now reduced himself to a serial purveyor of falsehoods, unable to recall the last time he spoke the truth. Such conduct is not only disgraceful it is dangerous, especially when deployed to distort presidential engagements with historically marginalized communities. 2. FALSE CLAIM: That security vetting for Northern Kenya has been removed Mr. Gachagua’s assertion that the government has removed vetting is yet another deliberate distortion of facts. What President Ruto stated clearly in Mandera is that the discriminatory and excessive bureaucratic vetting that has for years been selectively imposed on communities in the Northern Frontier District (NFD) must end. The President emphasized that all Kenyans must be subjected to one uniform standard of vetting fair, consistent, and constitutional without stigmatization based on region or ethnicity. To twist this clear and just position into a false narrative of national insecurity is reckless, dishonest, and deeply disrespectful to the people of Northern Kenya who have suffered decades of systemic exclusion and profiling. The American Government must not fall for the dilutions and desperations for attention and favours using fabricated lies from Mr. Gachagua. DCI must do its job. The Honors is upon Gachagua to substantiate his claims with evidence or face the law. The burden of proof for all his lies with him.

Many people consider Bitzero a data center company, but I buy it as a power play. What that company has done for the last five years is to go get power contracts that are mid-term and long-term at attractive prices. Before they do anything else, they get the power contract from the government. Bitzero is a power play and it's one of my larger holdings in infrastructure.

This video speaks louder than any of these Nairobi based bloggers defending corrupt leaders in NE. While you defend that mandera mp who donated 300,00 ksh in makueni today , a 75-year-old woman in Mandera is walking over 10-15 km searching for water. No one is disputing personal charity. The question is leadership priorities. No one is denying history. No one is attacking communities. The question is accountability. Mandera has received billions through devolution, Equalization Fund and ASAL programs. If resources are coming, why is water still a gamble for the elderly? Donating KSh300,000 in Makueni may earn applause. Fixing water, schools and dignity in Mandera earns trust. Providing basic services to suffering citizens does not help or hurt Rigathi Gachagua, it helps the people of Mandera.

Berlin has been living without electricity and heating for five days: "Today is the fifth day of a large-scale power outage in Berlin, and officially, this is the longest power outage in the German capital since the Second World War. And yes, it's currently minus six degrees in the mornings, so people are freezing in their homes. According to the Berlin police, there have been an increase in burglaries, with robbers trying to break into people's homes or businesses, as well as robbing ATMs. The city's energy system was attacked, presumably by a left-extremist group called Vulkangruppe. They claim to be fighting against the rich and climate change by destroying infrastructure. The mayor of Berlin has just confirmed that everyone who was affected by the power outage and registered in a hotel where there was still electricity will get their money back."

Last night in the Netherlands, Mandera Municipality was honored with the globally coveted Green City Award by the International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH). This esteemed international body is dedicated to promoting sustainable horticulture and supports initiatives that enhance the green environment through global greening projects and sustainable production practices. The greening initiative in Mandera began in 2015 under my leadership as County Governor. At the time, many doubted the potential for success, but Alhamdulillah, our efforts have been recognized on a global scale. I am proud to dedicate this award to the 1,300 vulnerable mothers in Mandera Town who have journeyed with us, demonstrating unparalleled commitment to the greening of our town. These mothers, who not only contribute to mitigating climate change but also make a livelihood from it, deserve our heartfelt applause. I also wish to extend my gratitude to the residents of Mandera Town who embraced and doubled our greening efforts by planting trees in every homestead, creating a true community-driven environmental transformation. Lastly, I would like to congratulate my successor, Governor Mohamed Adan Khalif, for ensuring the continuity of the Greening Mandera program since I left office in 2022. The progress we have achieved without external support is a testament to our community’s resilience and dedication. Imagine how much more we could accomplish with a little external support. Kudos to everyone involved—together, we can make a lasting difference.

Happening Now: Residents block road in Mutengene over prolonged blackout In a spontaneous protest unfolding now in Mutengene, large numbers of residents — mostly women — have blocked the main road linking to Douala, Buea and Limbe. Traffic coming from these cities is at a standstill as demonstrators demand that electricity be restored. According to the protesters, their community has been living without power for nearly nine months. They say they refuse to accept spending Christmas in darkness — a protest born out of desperation after months of suffering under persistent blackouts. So far, there is no official response from the power provider or government authorities. This action echoes wider frustrations across Cameroon, where recurring power outages — despite increased generation capacity — continue to impact households and businesses.
