The recently ousted UDA SG, Cleophas Malala, revealed that DP Gachagua's impeachment plot was orchestrated by the Majority Leader Kimani Ichung'wah and UDA's chair Cecilly Mbarire among other senior officials.
In politics, nothing happens by mere coincidence. The plotters of the impeachment believe that the Deputy President alongside other powerful figures, sponsored the recently violent Gen Z protests, which resulted into rejection of the financial bill, as well as the firing of Cabinet and hiring of a broad-based gov't.
To remind you, it all started with the famous Gachagua vs Kindiki 2022 stalemate. The politics we are seeing now is meant for 2027, or rather it is the start of 2032 succession politics, which was ignited back in 2022 and, refuelled in 2024 by the 'broad-based' element.
Today, I will not talk much about the politics of broad-based gov't, which might be a weapon against DP Gachagua; in case an impeachment motion is tabled before the Parliament. So, let me quickly debrief you about the 2022 drama. It all began at Karen, the then hustler's mansion during the running mate nomination process; 13th to 15th May 2022.
Something interesting happened, Hon. Ichung'wah warned DP Ruto that some MPs are determined to block Hon. Gachagua's direct nomination or even abandon Ruto's camp for Uhuru's Kieleweke camp, which was rooting for Raila Odinga.
Strategically, Ruto halted his running mate deliberations and led Mt. Kenya MPs (TangaTanga) vote between Gachagua and Kindiki. Majority voted for Kindiki, with only three supporting Gachagua.
After the vote, the 'angry' Ruto closed the door, schooled the MPs and announced that he will nominate Rigathi Gachagua because of his political sway and financial muscle. The opposing MPs were not happy at all, they agreed with Ruto's decision anyway but silently vowed to revisit it, when the time is ripe.
Well, seems that time is now, the ongoing fight is an extension of 2022's unsettled scores.
The rift is spilling over from Mt. Kenya to the Rift Valley and beyond, where the UDA MPs are taking sides; for Gachagua or against Gachagua, the ruling coalition (Kenya Kwanza) is even recruiting opposition (ODM) for some reasons. Everyone is flexing her/his muscles, it is about to get messy.
Trump's 2024 Campaign was entirely about 'Joe Biden is old and weak'. Well, all that changed when President Joe Biden(81) ended his reelection campaign and endorsed V.P. Kamala Harris(59).
Kamala Harris is a prosecutor. I'd say, she's tough, smart, decisive, appealing and a perfect Democratic fit to take on Donald Trump(78), now a convicted felon.
Here's what she said in 2020 when accepting to be Biden's VP pick, "I expect I'll be president someday. I'm young and in no hurry. What matters is defeating Hitler...I mean Trump..."
Trump already has a problem with women voters, as well as the Gen Zs. On reproductive rights, a winning issue for Democrats, Harris is a more forceful messenger than Biden.
Most recent polls (CNN, Fox News, YouGov, WSJ, NBC, The Times) shows that Harris polls better against Trump than Biden did, though Trump still maintain a slim lead.
Most political analysts agree that even before Biden dropped his reelection bid, Harris has long been a threat to Trump, and is now gaining traction on him. I will tell you what, this #KamalaHarris vs #DonaldTrump 2024 thing is race Trump didn't want or expect. It is throwing him off balance.
Since emerging as a presumptive Democratic presidential nominee last week, Kamala Harris' campaign has raised $200 million, of which 66% comes from first-time contributors in the 2024 election cycle. This is an eye popping haul in her fight against Trump-Vance ticket.
Let's talk a bit about J.D. Vance, Trump's confused VP pick. Recently, Mr Vance said women who haven't given birth like Kamala Harris are "childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives, and have no direct stake in America."
Vance is a phony. Gov. Benshear said the problem with Vance is that he has no conviction, but his running mate has 34.😂
Already Republicans are sponsoring a wave of conspiracies and false claims about Kamala Harris' eligibility and her background. Republicans are mad that Kamala is the Dem nominee. These fanatics thought it is somehow their God-given constitutional inalienable right to decide the Democratic Party nominee.
Importantly, all Democratic support coalesce around Kamala Harris. Now, the conversation is turning to a potential running mate. Who'll be that number two guy?
Here's my 'biased and unpopular' opinion😉
The task ahead for Kamala and Democrats is the VP nominee. Of course, it can't be my favorite Gov. Gavin Newsom, alas both are from California. It can't be my second favorite Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, both are women.
What about Senator Bernie Sanders, that'd be something and, Transport CS. Kipchumba Murkomen😅 huh? I mean Transport Sec. Pete Buttigieg. Pete would slaughter J.D. Vance and melt him in any debate. However, a woman + gay maybe a huddle too high for Democrats.
So, what's next or rather who is left to be the next Vice President of the United States?
I guess, Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky, Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, Gov. Josh Shapiro and Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota are the remaining viable options.
Option one: Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona. He's a combat Vet Pilot, politician, astronaut, businessman, author, married to a gun violence survivor, the guy speaks Russian plus his name 'Kelly' will definitely drive Trump nuts😅 what else could you be looking for in a nominee.
The only problem with Senator Kelly is that Democrats need him in the Arizona's Senate seat. I understand Gov. Hobbs will temporarily appoint his replacement until a special election is held. But believe you me, Dems need Kelly to win any Arizona senate seat.
Option two: Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, a very strategic guy...
Option three: Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota. Unions love him...
Any of these great options as Harris' VP pick would make Trump's Vance not only look bad but also smell bad.
*if I am Kamala Harris, I WOULD PICK SENATOR MARK KELLY AS MY VP NOMINEE; yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Let me make a statement about yesterday's protests: Anti-gov't vs Pro-gov't protests.
I call for supporters and critics of this gov't to proceed peacefully in the streets.
The government has vowed to end violence, widespread looting and destruction of property witnessed during protests that have rocked the country, especially Nairobi.
What was witnessed yesterday and what has been going on for weeks is extremely sad for our country.
I invite everyone to take time and understand the danger or the gravity of 'Ruto must go' protests.
Some of the faceless, anonymous, and formless critics are calling for violence, anarchy and lawlessness.
The media has tried to paint the Pro-gov't protests, which started yesterday as a political move by President William Ruto. But let me tell you, President Ruto has nothing to do with Pro-gov't protests. It is a people's-led counterattack, Kenyans are tired of violent conduct of some Gen Zs(or rather criminals hiding behind Gen Zs).
I remind people that Dr. William Ruto was voted by majority of voters in Aug. 2022 to serve for a five-year term as President of the Republic of Kenya and the C-I-C of the Armed Forces. No faceless, anonymous or formless person/group can overthrow this through violent or unconstitutional means.
"Ngojea mpaka 2027 turudi kwa debe!!!".
Remember, presidential election is not a referendum, it is a choice. But, it's a choice people might not see because of the headline-grabbing propaganda coming from the media & politicians.
We have patriotic and dedicated Kenyans, who are working tirelessly every day upholding the rule of law in our country.
Adherence to the rule of law is a bedrock principle of our constitution. And our country's commitment to the rule of law sets an example for Africa and beyond. Just so we're clear, we have one set of laws in this country, and they apply to anyone.
Violation of our Article 37 or any article in the constitution puts our country at risk.
The women and men of the Kenya Police Service and our Defense Forces dedicate their lives to protecting our country, its citizens and their properties.
One of the group protesting yesterday was peaceful. What I mean is that there was no throwing stones at police, no burning stuff, no looting...and the police were just there watching & patrolling; no teargas, no shooting.
The other group protesting was as violent as usual; looting, throwing stones at police, burning up stuff, vandalizing public/private property, chanting 'Ruto must go', trying to invade/access restricted premises, etc... and the police responded with teargas, & maybe some shooting.
As I usually say, he who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it.
According to Article 37, it is our civil right to assemble, demonstrate, picket and present petitions to public authorities, peaceably and unarmed.
But, this right does not involve looting, stone throwing, breaking into restricted premises or burning buildings.
The police must deal with those looting or destroying public/private property. Finally, the police also must protect peaceful protesters.
KENYA NI YETU SISI SOTE!

The idea of a "New World Order" is gaining attention as the world's political landscape changes significantly. These changes are driven by new technologies, shifts in economic power, and the evolving roles of major countries. This article explains how these factors are shaping the New World Order and what it means for international relations today.
After the Cold War, the United States was the dominant global power for almost three decades. However, this dominance is now fading, thanks to China and Russia which are becoming more powerful, challenging the U.S. and creating a world where power is shared among several countries.
China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a good example of this shift. Through large infrastructure projects around the world, China is increasing its influence. Meanwhile, Russia's aggressive actions in places like Ukraine and Syria show its desire to be a major player again.
Technology is a key factor in the changing geopolitical landscape. The competition for supremacy in areas like artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and 5G networks is intense among the U.S., China, and the European Union. These technologies are crucial for future economic and military strength.
Cyber security is also a major issue. Countries are constantly engaging in cyber attacks and espionage, trying to protect their own digital infrastructure while targeting others. This new kind of warfare challenges traditional ideas about borders and national security.
Economic power is central to geopolitical influence. In recent years, there has been a shift towards more protectionist and nationalist economic policies. The trade war between the U.S. and China is a clear example of this, as both countries are trying to become less economically dependent on each other.
The COVID-19 pandemic made these trends even more pronounced, revealing weaknesses in global supply chains and pushing countries to seek more economic independence. Regional trade agreements, like the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) in Asia, are becoming more important, reshaping global trade and economic relationships.
International institutions like the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, World Bank, the UN Security Council, and the International Monetary Fund are facing challenges. Most of these institutions were created after World War II to promote global cooperation, but many now see them as oppressive, outdated and ineffective.
Emerging powers want these institutions to change to better reflect the current balance of global power. The BRICS+ group (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabi, Egypt, and the UAE ) is advocating for a world order that reduces Western dominance. The future of these institutions depends on their ability to adapt and the willingness of major countries to work together.
Regional conflicts and changing alliances add to the complexity of the geopolitical landscape. In the Middle East, the rivalry between Israel and Iran continues to cause instability. Meanwhile, the Israeli war in Gaza, which has resulted in over 40,000 civilian deaths is threatening normalized relations between Israel and several Arab states.
In Asia, the Indo-Pacific region is a hotspot of geopolitical tension. The U.S. and its allies, including Japan, South Korea, and Australia, are aggressively working to counter China's growing influence. This has led to very volatile geopolitical situation in the Indo-Pacific; as China could militarily take control of Taiwan.
The New World Order is shaped by a mix of rising powers, technological advancements, economic shifts, and changing alliances.

The ICC chief Prosecutor Karim Khan announces the arrest warrants of Israel's PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes against the state of Palestine.
Meanwhile, in Tel Aviv, there's massive protest demanding that PM Netanyahu resign.
On the basis of evidence collected and examined by my Office, I have reasonable grounds to believe that Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, and Yoav Gallant, the Minister of Defence of Israel, bear criminal responsibility for the following war crimes and crimes against humanity committed on the territory of the State of Palestine (in the Gaza strip) from at least 8 October 2023:
