Sonko’s Woes Deepen as Senate Goes After Him, Raila: The Cat With 9 Lives & At least 100 Dead from Heavy Rains

Good morning,

Have you watched that twa twa video? When the rest of the world experiences the rainy season, they think of agriculture, but Kenyans are a special species and only one thing comes to mind in this cold season, Game ya Mungu (God’s Game).

This is the reason why the twa twa video has gone viral on social media. It is not every day we see a woman of God encouraging married couples to have sex as many times as possible including the kitchen and the car. That video has united Kenyans more than the BBI Report would ever imagine.

President Uhuru Kenyatta and his brother Raila Odinga are set to receive the report at State House today. Despite the big political significance of the report, we should ask ourselves if BBI will provide solutions to the challenges facing Kenyans.

The country has had so many reports in the recent past; The Waki Report, The Krieggler Report, The TJRC Report et cetera, whose recommendations have never been implemented. Will BBI join this list?

We at Opera News will ensure you get all the latest updates and diverse opinions on the BBI report and other hot stories of the day.

Here are the stories making headlines this morning

Will he survive this onslaught?
