On this day in 1980, I remember my arrest as a lecturer at the University of Nairobi, which was a significant event for the university. The struggle for a better Kenya 🇰🇪 continues, and the spirit lives on.
Nakuru Governor H.E Susan Kihika and I are in the Kingdom of Netherlands to negotiate with Dutch Water Operators for more funding of water utilities in the counties of Nakuru and Kisumu.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our leader, Rt. Hon.

@TheODMparty
Central Management Committee for entrusting me with the responsibility of Acting Party Leader. I deeply appreciate the confidence you have placed in me to oversee the party while Baba..
It is with humility that I accept my appointment as

Let the Joe Biden advisors know that their candidate is making us ALL TIRED, from Kisumu to Buenos Aires. We are completely exhausted by appeals to him to quit the race. As night follows daylight, his staying in the race for one day longer will hurt Harris chances of winning
I'm excited to join Kenyans and the international community in wishing our leader Raila Amollo Odinga a very Happy Birthday.
May you live longer to blow many more candles. Thanking God for the opportunity He has given you to serve humankind.
Happy birthday Captain!
PRESS RELEASE
I am not surprised that an amalgam of self-seeking MPs went to State House without the blessing of our progressive party, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).
Congratulations Iron Lady
@MarthaKarua
for the calmness with which you firmly spoke your mind in the Deputy President's debate, making your opponent look belligerent and defensive.
Inawezekana !
The County Government of Kisumu has just installed a state-of-the-art rice mill at the Ahero Irrigation Scheme.
This move is a significant stride toward enhancing rice productivity and slashing milling costs for our hardworking farmers.

regarding the insecurity of his investment and properties in Kisumu. But eager to please his boss by mouthing the typical UDA/Kenya Kwanza propaganda replete .
I am urging everyone who participated in the peaceful demonstrations earlier in the day to go home and leave the police to clear the boulders and tyres from the roads. It will not be safe to continue demonstrating at night !

Hon Musalia Mudavadi in an address a few days ago in Western Kenya to a partisan audience portrayed Kisumu as a place where investments are insecure.
Let it be known that

Thank you for always believing and supporting us as a county.
We are indebted !
Having seen appointments to the Cabinet, equity and regional balance, two components of NATIONAL UNITY, are prominent by their absence. What is even morestriking is that DEVOLUTION is not given the prominence it deserves as a state department on its own as is currently the case.
There will be a memorial service for the Late Mzee Jaramogi Oginga Odinga on Saturday January 20th, 2024 at St. Stephen's Cathedral ACK, Milimani as from 10am and will later be followed by a public lecture at The Ofafa Memorial Hall.

Thank you H.E

The people of Kondele and Kisumu at large says " Erokamano ! "
In the past few months I have listened to a rising crescendo of Nyong’o Tano Tena. I don’t take this for granted and I will revenge by giving you the best service ever. It is a continuation of good work we have been doing for the past 5 years.

I want to appeal to politicians from the Kericho side to hold barazas and ask their people to lay down their arms and give peace a chance. On our side, we are already talking to our people to embrace peaceful co-existence with their neighbours.
There are disgruntled souls dead set to derail the speedy economic growth in Kisumu who would wish I were dead as early as yesterday.
The rumour on Twitter announcing my passing on is the evil genius of desperate opponents. It should be dismissed with the contempt it deserves !
Currently at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga 30th Anniversary public lecture at the historic Ofafa Memorial Hall. Reflecting on his legacy and contributions to our nation.
