More than 20 heads of state, regional & international agencies have sent congratulatory messages to Kenya’s President-elect, Dr. William Ruto. Shockingly, Kenya’s State House is dead mute. True, it takes a nationalist to build a Nation.

I am here at chilly Kenyanjeru village, Kangema, taking tea at Kwa Nyina wa Wangari Kiosk. Villagers tell me if the Supreme Court orders a repeat/run-off election, they will now come out 99% for the “Chief Hustler”. A more furious “Yellow Wave” will humiliate us, Azimio honchos

Over 18,000 observers monitored Kenya’s 9/8/22 elections, 1,300 of them international observers, including Commonwealth, AU and UN bodies. It is foolhardy for Raila to ask them to come back & probe spurious allegations. He should read their reports first.
