Sonko to Be Charged in Voi, Why Uhuru Loves Ethiopia & How Mudavadi’s Sister Was Abducted, Her leg Chopped Off

Good morning,

If you are reading this then thank God you are alive. This weekend will go down as the period when the angel of God visited our country and claimed so many lives. Seven people have been confirmed dead after a six-storey building collapsed in Tassia, Embakasi. This is not the first time that a building has collapsed this year. Would this incident have been avoided if we learnt from previous disasters?

In Wajir, Al Shabaab terrorists ambushed a passenger bus and killed 11 non-Muslims. Most of the casualties were Kenyan cops returning to their respective duty stations in North Eastern. Again, this is not the first time terrorists have killed Kenyans this year. What are Kenyan soldiers doing in Somalia?

A man plunged his car into the Indian Ocean at the Likoni Channel in the wee hours of Saturday morning. This is the second time in less than two months that we have lost lives in similar incidents at the Channel. However, unlike the previous incident, this guy allegedly received a call from his late father. Yes, witchcraft is real!

The bottom line of all the above tragedies is that they could have been avoided if we took time and learnt from what happened in the past. But we are Kenyans and only wake up after a disaster has happened and then go back to politics until it happens.

Our leaders want us to believe that the solutions to all these tragedies lie in the BBI report!

ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi’s book:  Soaring Above the Storm of Passion is still a major talking point in political cycles. In one of the chapters, the former Vice President details how his sister was abducted and one of her legs brutally chopped off in the 80s.

Without specifying the time, Mudavadi writes that at one point, when his father was battling an election petition at the High Court, his sister went to attend the hearing but was trailed by hired thugs who abducted and abandoned her in a thicket in Nairobi.
