𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐃: 𝐏𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋 𝐏𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐓𝐘 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐆𝐘 (𝐏𝐏𝐒) 𝐁𝐄𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐊𝐄𝐄𝐏 𝐔𝐊𝐀𝐌𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐈 𝐏𝐎𝐎𝐑 The slow pace of development in the Ukambani region compared to areas such as Nyanza, Mt. Kenya, and North Eastern is not accidental. It is part of a deliberate strategy by Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka to maintain psychological control... over the Kamba people. The 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲 (𝐏𝐏𝐒) is a political formula for acquiring and maintaining power by depriving followers of development. The aim is to make them view a particular leader as their “saviour” and eternal hope. This strategy is based on the political logic that an economically empowered population is harder to control and mislead. In Ukambani, the Political Poverty Strategy is disguised under the slogan “𝐕𝐨𝐦𝐰𝐞 𝐧𝐚 𝐕𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐚” which translates to “𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙙”, suggesting that poverty should be normalized and endured. It is telling that while Hon. Raila Odinga has historically joined the Government of the day after an electoral loss to ensure his people benefit from development, Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka has consistently rejected any efforts that would bring tangible development to his own people. Why? Because empowering the Ukambani community weakens his grip. It is no surprise that he often works against any leader striving to liberate the region from poverty. However, the days of allowing a community to suffer for the sake of one individual’s political survival are over. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐰. I emphasize that no one should insult leaders, and that Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka must be treated with respect and decorum. But he must also be exposed. His actions are directly linked to the death of mothers during childbirth, the deepening poverty of our elders, and the hopelessness facing our youth. People are suffering because of the 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲 (𝐏𝐏𝐒) promoted by Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka. This is why he opposes President William Ruto’s visits to Ukambani to launch development projects such as roads, dams, water supply, electricity, education, hospitals, farming support, job creation, and more. He wants Ukambani to remain poor and dependent to sustain his strategy. To prove this point, some legislators who recently visited Tseikuru were shocked. Of all Vice Presidents who have served Kenya, only the home area of Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka lacks tarmac roads, electricity, clean water, and basic infrastructure. It remains engulfed in abject poverty. That is the Political Poverty Strategy in action. There is a saying: “𝙆𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙖 𝙖𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙚 𝙣𝙖 𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙖 𝙬𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙚” — 𝙆𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙖 𝙡𝙚𝙛𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙣. We want development now, not at the whim of a political strategy designed to keep us poor. Therefore, where the mantra of Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka is: “𝐕𝐨𝐦𝐰𝐞 𝐧𝐚 𝐕𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐚” (Resist and be hardened), ours is: “𝐕𝐎𝐋𝐎𝐋𝐎𝐄 𝐍𝐀 𝐌𝐔𝐓𝐔𝐀” (Liberate and transform). Mbele iko Sawa. 𝐃𝐫. 𝐀𝐥𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐍. 𝐌𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐚, 𝐄𝐆𝐇.show more

But Waziri you're in government. You've been a governor for 10 years. You served as government Spokesperson. How have you used these strategic and vantage positions to end poverty in Ukambani?

Did he stop you from making Machakos rich? Does he sit in the budget committee or does he appropriate the budget. Kalonzo has not been in government since kibaki. You have been there since then, have removed poverty? Has he stopped you from doing anything? Kalonzo

McCullough: Moody’s Downgrade Is Just ‘Macro Tourist Clickbait’ Hedgeye CEO @KeithMcCullough isn’t losing sleep over Moody’s recent downgrade of U.S. sovereign debt 🔊 "Don't get upset about it," McCullough said. “Actually, get really excited about it this morning. You should be really excited. Because there's a lot to do on this.” "The next time anybody tells you Moody’s is the forward-looking indicator for markets…what it is, is it represents everything that we've been talking about, the manifest manifestation of the machine. AI, clickbait, macro tourism." As the market works off headline noise, stay focused on signals instead of mainstream media headlines by subscribing to The Macro Show.

Francis Atwoli: After Raila Odinga, there is no opposition in Kenya. Kalonzo Musyoka is a good man and it is I who told Raila to let Kalonzo Musyoka be the leader of the opposition. This is a good man, he is a diplomat, he is a person who can be a priest, he can be a person who can pray for anybody, he is a man that you can trust with whatever you have. But he is not best suited to say that he is the person who can be the leader of the opposition in this country. If Kenyans want, he can be the president #JKLive

Today, alongside H.E. Kalonzo Musyoka and Hon. Justin Muturi and members of the Alternative Government, we called for an immediate end to the escalating culture of political intolerance and organized goonism. The attacks on the Linda Mwananchi rally in Kisii were not isolated incidents. They are part of a deliberate pattern of political intolerance designed to deny Kenyans their constitutional freedoms. We refuse to accept violence as the price of political participation. Those responsible must be brought to justice, and the State must demonstrate through action, not words that no one is above the law. If political violence is tolerated today, no Kenyan's rights will be safe tomorrow.

The candidate for Rigathi Gachagua and Uhuru Kenyatta is Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka. Rigathi Gachagua will not and does not want to be President because he knows the kind of resistance he will face. He is not foolish about that, but what he does with his intelligence is what is in question. Rigathi has released his people to Wiper, but that is happening because he knows he can tolerate Kalonzo and they have struck a 70–30 deal.

HON KUDAKWASHE MUPAMHANGA Hon. Kudakwashe Mupamhanga's speech at the Mt Darwin West DCC interdistrict meeting held at Mutwa Primary School emphasized the importance of inclusive development politics. He stressed that as youths and women are being empowered, men should not be left behind, as they have been historically marginalized. Hon Mupamhanga envisioned a future where every household in Mt Darwin has access to clean water, highlighting the need for unity and collective purpose. He proudly noted that Mt Darwin has all four Members of Parliament, and it's essential to ensure development reaches every corner of the district. To achieve this, Hon Mupamhanga urged the community to shun gossip and focus on development. He encouraged open communication, saying that if problems arise, the community should come together to find solutions as Mt Darwin. Moreover, he emphasized the need to shift from political mode to development mode, supporting elected representatives and prioritizing the community's needs. One key area of focus is road infrastructure, with Mupamhanga advocating for all roads in Mt Darwin to be upgraded for user-friendliness. Mutwa Primary School, where the meeting was held, is one of the top-performing primary schools in Mt Darwin district, Mashonaland Central province where the MP for the constituency Mt Darwin west Hon Witness Jonga has worked together with the community to build another classroom block. #DevelopmentPolitics #CommunityDevelopment #Unity of purpose #Vision2030

“The People Did Not Ask for This Bill" - Hon. Karenyi Kore Rejects CAB 3 in Parliament Hon. Karenyi Kore's contribution to the parliamentary debate on Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 (CAB 3). During the debate, Hon. Karenyi argued that the people of Zimbabwe did not ask for the Bill and called for it to be subjected to a referendum. She also raised concerns about electoral reforms, political violence, corruption, and the need for an electoral system that citizens can trust. "The people did not ask for this Bill. CAB 3 does not create a single job and should be subjected to a referendum to avoid a conflict of interest. We want an electoral system citizens can trust. People want opportunities, not an extension of political power. The problem is not the Constitution; it is political violence and corruption. The voice of the people must remain the voice of our democracy. I stand with unemployed youth, farmers, vendors, workers, mothers and pensioners." — Hon. Karenyi Kore during debate on Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3.

The people pushing for Kalonzo Musyoka to be picked as the most preferred presidential candidate for the opposition are not just The United Opposition but it is THE GOVERNMENT. They want a presidential candidate who is weak, less radical, predictable, and manageable so that when they rig the elections (which we know they will given William Ruto’s apparent greedy determination to cling to power), that Presidential Candidate will NOT lead a REVOLT against the state, but will easily concede just like Raila Odinga. They are afraid of a Radical and strong Presidential Candidate like Edwin Sifuna who indeed wants to take power unlike the controlled opposition old guards that we have had for a long time. They know that Sifuna would not watch as his votes are being rigged ! They know that Sifuna enjoys broader national acceptance that transcends tribal and regional politics, unlike Kalonzo, whose political support is largely perceived to be concentrated within Ukambani. That is precisely why they would prefer a candidate like Kalonzo: someone they can easily frame within a regional political bloc, thereby pushing Kenyans back into the familiar and divisive politics of tribal voting blocks rather than allowing a genuinely nationalistic movement to emerge. It hurts them to see a radical opposition candidate who is revered and highly talked about without the thought or mention of tribal voting blocks. THEY ARE DOING EVERYTHING TO UNDERMINE SIFUNA AS THE MOST PREFERRED PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE FOR THE OPPOSITION AND WE MUST FIGHT !! This also has me wondering is Uhuru also part of this effort to Undermine Sifuna ????

Sad to say that there is no expenditure being made by the State Government of #Odisha for the people of this state and for their development. Time and again this has been brought to the attention of #Odisha Government by Biju Janata Dal that there must be some expenditure for the development of the people of the state, but they seem to be totally neglectful about this. Everyone is suffering. It's not exclusive to any people, it is everyone that is suffering. It's like they're playing on empty vessels, and we all know that empty vessels make a good sound, and that's what they're satisfied by. #BJDWithOdisha

It is extremely sad that Northern Kenya continues to lag behind 13 years after devolution, not because of a lack of resources, but because leaders choose to take everything for themselves while leaving their people to suffer without schools, hospitals, or even basic infrastructure. Everything is taken to Nairobi, while communities are left in poverty, neglect, and hopelessness. We, as the government in waiting, are making a clear commitment to the people of Northern Kenya. We will right this grievous wrong. We will ensure that devolution works for you, that public resources are invested where they belong, and that no region is left behind. Northern Kenya deserves dignity, development, and leadership that puts people first.

#WATCH | Guwahati, Assam | On Assam CM and allegations against Gaurav Gogoi, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra says, "There are two types of leaders - one, those with a positive mindset and others who believe in polarisation and attacking people. The way Gaurav ji (Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi) and his family are being targeted proves that this kind of politics is wrong. I think the people of Assam know that the other side is rattled by him; this is the reason why all this is happening. It is because he is walking on the right path, he is being attacked...It is like a badge of honour...You should tell the CM to talk about the development of Assam and what he has done for the state..." On Zubin Garg's death, she says," We should never take political advantage of such things. Zubin was the voice of the soul of Assam....Our fight is to protect Assam's culture and heritage. No one should use Zubin Garg for political gains. People were connected to Zubin ji because he gave voice to the sentiments of the people of Assam. I went to pay tributes to him."

Gachagua Vows to Make Ruto a One-Term President Former DP Rigathi Gachagua on Monday swore to do whatever it takes to make President William Ruto a one-term president. Speaking alongside opposition politicians Kalonzo Musyoka and Eugene Wamalwa, Gachagua declared that he will work with all Kenyans to challenge Ruto’s administration and ensure the president doesn’t see a second term in office. He lashed out at Ruto’s government, calling it a dictatorship and accusing the president of being intolerant. "He wants his way, and all those ministers are just flower girls," Gachagua said, adding that he was the only one who could stand up to Ruto. Gachagua has repeatedly criticized Ruto’s administration since his ouster through impeachment in October 2024. He decried the government as a “one-man show,” claiming ministers have been reduced to mere sycophants. He called on Kenyans to rise against Ruto and warned that any reckless statements made by Ruto or his officials should be documented and forwarded to the International Criminal Court. The former DP has also been forging alliances with political figures he previously opposed. Just recently, he met Martha Karua, the NARC Kenya leader and Raila Odinga’s running mate in 2022, to discuss how they could unite and challenge Ruto’s “dictatorship.” Gachagua’s political future is taking shape through consultative meetings with leaders from different sectors at his Wamunyoro home in Nyeri. In another fiery statement, Gachagua revealed that Mt Kenya could support Western Kenya in the 2027 election, just as they backed Ruto in 2022. He warned that Ruto should not take Western Kenya’s support for granted, and said Mt Kenya could even back Kalonzo Musyoka. Gachagua pointed out that Ruto’s 47% support in Mt Kenya, which contributed to his victory, is now up for grabs and that the region has already started shifting its political allegiance. The former DP also tore into the promises made to Western Kenya, accusing the government of failing to deliver on its pledges, including the promised 1,000 kilometres of tarmacked roads. He was unapologetic, asserting that the region was no longer willing to support a government that does not keep its word.

Summary of Dr Thandi Dodo Sidzumo-Mazibuko interview (1986) 1. Any forms and levels of material aid from foreign donors must be limited to what African people themselves have requested. 2. Aid terms and conditions must comme from the people. Communities must determine their most pressing needs and only then can well meaning aid givers come to the party. 3. Most agencies are interested in getting quick results while overlooking the human element in development projects. When you work with human beings you cannot operate in technical and systematic cold fashion. 4. We must look into who creates hunger and who sustains that hunger, the national and International forces with a negative impact on different communities. 5. Assistance must be given on our own terms, we must determine that kind of help we need. 6. Before participating in a community development project, we must first understand that community's perceptions of its needs. 7. On the basis of the community's description of its needs we can use our communication and technical expertise only for the purposes of complementing existing capabilities. 8. We must be clear that development highlights a community's struggle to develop itself. Development is community participation in breaking away from all kinds of dependency, economically or otherwise to attain self reliance. The role of the expert is to increase capability of the focus group. 9. Education is divided between education for LIBERATION and education for DOMINATION. In the case of the latter, self proclaimed development experts like IMF are divorced from the realities of communities where thy they impose their aid programmes. The communities are always left poor ,disempowered and more prone to continued domination. 10. The role of tbe researcher is to provide social analysis, make people aware that when a certain area or community is underdeveloped it is not always because the community members are lazy. Due to historical colonization of Africa by Europe, the question of monocultures has been created such as in Senegal where people were forced to produce rubber while they were experiencing a problem of hunger. 11. There are national forces and international forces that impact lives. International forces like IMF and World Bank impose themselves on governments and enforce anti-development loan or aid conditions. Loans from IMF and World Bank must be rejected as they are not meant to support the livelihoods of our people especially the poorer classes. 12. Researchers have a duty to bring this information to communities so that they develop an understanding of the machinations of different forces with regards to development, how the world functions,and how that affects our situation. 13. Researchers must present data to communities, allow those communities to evaluate the data and give their input so that they don't become objects of research. That is the only effective way of mobilizing for the material and intellectual development of people. Anything else opposite to that will render the researcher an agent of imperialism. 14. The structural cause of hunger in Africa is land pressure which is a product of white colonizers taking all the productive arable land and pushing our people to the dry reserves. Colonizers did not come with civilization, even when you go to the most remote of areas where people have to access to modern sources of agriculture information, in their own rudimentary ways the people know about the differences in soil types and their suitability for certain kinds of crops. The view that Africans don't understand their land is an ugly lie. 15. The role of the researcher is to compliment existing knowledge and share information on organisations that control our lives such as IMF and World Bank. 16. There must be a balance between monetary inputs and communication inputs bearing in mind that in all development projects, our people must attain intellectual development too. 17. Part of the struggle for social and economic justice is say NO to any forms of outside dominance.

"There is an indigenous population that have lived on that island for thousands of years." "It is being taken over by different people that are not indigenous to that land, and I think that's a sad thing to happen." "If there was an island of indigenous people in the Pacific, and all of a sudden a bunch of white people moved there and were having babies, and the number one name in that country became Tom... the UN would be there saying this is outrageous." "But do it to England and no one seems to care."

Mamdani on Arch/Ballroom/Club Rose Garden: My message would be that this is not what government has to be. This is not the only vision for what it looks like to have politics in this country—that is so divorced from the needs and wants of everyday people. And what we are looking to show in New York City is an alternative to what has led so many to become disenchanted with the political process. We want to show that not only can government work, but it must, and that at its core, our responsibility is to working people—to ensure that we’re doing everything to make their lives easier. That has to be what drives our actions, and for too long, government has felt more like a distraction than a fulfillment of the needs of the people who’ve been left behind by the politics of today.

Yoruba representatives reportedly went ahead to draw a map for the Igbo and other regions. When the South-South proposed its own map, including the Badagry water corridor, it was rejected. Then we Igbos said,allow us to draw our own map and determine what represents our people. The response from the Yoruba delegates was reportedly: No. Why should anyone else decide how another people should be represented? This is why Nigerians must look beyond the ethnic arguments and examine the political strategy behind these moves. In my view, this is part of the broader political strategy of President Tinubu and the APC. Nigeria belongs to all of us. No group should be forced to accept a map or political arrangement it did not help create.

I note Prime Minister Andrew Holness’s remarks in a TV interview this morning. Neither he nor his Party has made those proposals as part of the process of constitutional reform. His proposals are therefore not in the report of the Constitutional Reform Committee, and will not be in the new Constitution coming out of that process. Furthermore, Mr. Holness’s proposals are not in the existing Constitution, and would violate the existing Constitution. This is in keeping with his and his Government’s unfortunate history of past violations of the Constitution of Jamaica. It seems that the Prime Minister wants to make up a rule which is not part of the Constitution or laws of Jamaica, to suit his Party’s political fortune at a time when it is waning. He has no power and no authority to do that. He needs to tell the country why his statutory declarations to the Integrity Commission cannot be certified. I am compliant with the Constitution and laws of Jamaica, and I undertake to the People of Jamaica that I will continue to be so.

This is something the Cabal propagandists will not show you. A stellar moment - one that will echo in eternity - of Hon. Edwin Mushoriwa Edwin Mushoriwa-Dzivaresekwa MP defending & upholding the dignity and sovereignty of our people. Instead, they will show you and celebrate the clown Susan, because under the Cabal's leadership, Zimbabwe has become a circus. Alas, those of us who have served with honour, loyalty, and respect have no problem taking off our hats to any truth and idea that pursues a better and brighter future for our people. What Hon. Mushoriwa has done here is commendable. It puts the Cabal to shame - if it still had any shame left, it would not show its face anywhere pushing for #CAB3. He stood & spoke of sovereignty - not as an abstraction, but as the lived reality of the people of Dzivaresekwa who elected him for five years, not seven!!! They gave their consent. He is bound by it. To extend that term without returning to them is not governance. It is theft by calendar!!! This is the core of constitutionalism: that the people are the source of all authority, and what they have not given, no parliament may take. The Cabal has forgotten this. Mushoriwa reminded the nation!!! He spoke of the Constitution as a shield - a document designed to limit politicians, not liberate them. The 2013 Constitution was a covenant. The people voted for it. They secured it with their hopes. And now the very politicians it was written to restrain are trying to rewrite it for their own perpetuation. That is not amendment. That is betrayal. Mushoriwa called it what it is: politicians limiting the Constitution instead of the Constitution limiting politicians. He spoke of accountability - the radical, dangerous, revolutionary idea that those who govern must answer to those who are governed. That elections are not inconvenient interruptions to development. They are the mechanism by which the people periodically renew or withdraw their trust. To cancel them is to cancel the people!!! To extend a term without consent is to declare that the people's voice is no longer required. Mushoriwa refused to endorse that declaration. And he spoke of the quiet tragedy at the centre of this coup - that the President, after 45 years of public service, may not want more years. It is the parliamentarians who have become the criminals surrounding him. The bought. The bribed. The Fortuner-driven. The envelope-collecting. They are the ones driving this. They are the ones who need the extension because they fear the voters they will face in 2028. The President is surrounded. Not by enemies. By courtiers!!! This is the politics the people deserve. Not the circus of the bought and the bribed. Not the spectacle of a legislator praising an interchange as though it were a constitutional argument. Principle. Sovereignty. Accountability. The Constitution as a shield, not a weapon. A parliamentarian who remembers who sent him and for how long. The Cabal will not show you this speech. It will bury it under empty press statements and misinformation narraitves!!! But the archive has it. The people have it. And history will remember who stood and who knelt!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

#WATCH | Kolkata | Rebel TMC MP Saayoni Ghosh says, "It is a very positive development that Sonam Wangchuk has ended his fast. I am grateful to him, and I believe that now that a dialogue has begun between the government, the students, and the CJP, it is likely to lead to a positive and constructive outcome. I believe one thing: the students belong to the nation, and the government also serves the nation. Whatever happens should be in the best interest of both the students and the government, and a consensus should be reached. The way the opposition parties have tried to take political advantage of this movement, which was started by the CJP, the youth of the country, and the students, is not appropriate. They have tried to serve their own political interests, and I do not think that is right... The government has already begun listening to the students, and I hope it will continue to consider their legitimate demands. My expectation from the government is that it will address their concerns and work towards a satisfactory resolution."

Ponga Pandits have become a cancer for India.🤬 In India, these people are teaching the wastage of food and resources in the name of religion and imaginary gods. When the country is struggling with poverty, hunger, and real-world issues, promoting such drama, superstition, and the wastage of resources is completely wrong and insensitive. In my view, this is not religion; it is stupidity, blind faith, and the exploitation of people. It is necessary to stop such pretenders and they should be put in jail, so that the society’s money, time, and energy can be spent on education, health, poverty alleviation, and real development instead of these useless rituals.

MGNREGA is a lifeline for the poor. They are purposely destroying that Act and they want to make the poor villagers and farm labourers slaves of the rich. That's why we fought to retain the MGNREGA law, and all its provisions should remain as they are. I condemn the new law, which is only helping the government. Earlier, the share of funding was 90 per cent from the central government and 10 per cent from the state government, but now they have changed it to 60-40. This means they don't want to help the states. They want money from the state governments, and they want to reduce their own contribution. This clearly shows that they have no interest in the development of the poor. MGNREGA helped in COVID pandemic and poverty eradication and led to the development of roads, tanks, school buildings, Aanganwadi buildings, etc. But the Modi government is not liking that. They want to make the poor people even poorer and oppress them. We are going to agitate in each state, and it should be continued. Even the other Opposition parties are supporting us.
