Tungeambia Nini Watu?
It was one of the most exciting matches in the tournament, but things would have been so different if we had lost to Tanzania. The game came at a time when Kenya and her neighbour are embroiled in a diplomatic tiff after Jaguar’s xenophobic rant prompted the Tanzanian Parliament to summon the Kenyan ambassador.
Before the match, Comedian Eric Omondi had kidnapped Bongo household Musician Diamond Platinumz’s pregnant girlfriend while Raila Odinga had said he knew our first 3 points would come against TZ. Moses Kuria had asked the government to flex its muscles.
Pride, bragging rights and everything else was at stake in this match. But things did not start well as Kenya went to the break trailing 1-2 after some schoolboy errors at the back. Social media was already on fire with pessimists trolling the team.
But our boys were not going to let us down for the second match in a row. While Eric Omondi the comedian had irked our neighbours, it was a second-half performance Harambee Stars Playmaker Eric Omondi, who made a run that produced that Olunga magic that sent them crashing out of the tournament.
Ruto’s Assassination Claims Further Divides Cabinet
These are very difficult moments for Kenyans. We have a national team that is punching above its weight in Egypt, a team that should be uniting the country at this moment. But unfortunately, the same cannot be said about our leaders. On Monday, three Cabinet Secretaries were summoned by the DCI over plans to assassinate Deputy President William Ruto.
It has now emerged that the murder claims have split the Cabinet into two, just like the Jubilee factions of Kieleweke and Tanga Tanga. CSs who spoke to The Standard have downplayed the division but one of them insisted that Ruto should choose to work with them or leave.
“Only one man who has a problem with some members of the Cabinet and he can choose to work with the team or leave.” All eyes are now on President Uhuru Kenyatta, the chair of the Cabinet, to provide the way forward.
Ruto’s Murder Plot Investigations Shifts to State House
The DCI is taking claims that an attempt has been made on DP William Ruto’s life so seriously that they are investigating Statehouse. At the centre of these investigations is an anonymous letter believed to have been sent to the President. Detectives are having a hard time finding the physical letter.
It is now believed that the letter could be fake and detectives might soon start summoning Ruto’s aides to shed light on these allegations.
This week has had some very high moments and some down lows. From the eclectic mix of Ruto’s assassination plot, Jaguar’s remarks, KRA’s decision to extend deadline to submit returns and Kenya’s win against Tanzania in the #AFCON2019, what story gave you the highest high? Drop us a comment below.
