Jubilee to Kick Out Speaker Muturi From Party; KRA Boss Responds After Reactions on Plans to Use Social Media to Nab Tax Cheats & Obado Dumps Ruto Month After Hosting Him in Migori

Good morning,

It is less than nine months before we head into another election.

Without a doubt as a country, we have been preparing adequately to avert a situation/ election that would result in war or violence like in the 2007 general elections.

In light of this, a multi-agency outfit has been formed that seeks to block haters, corrupt individuals in the 2022 elections.

Among the notable names of people who could be barred from the polls include former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu, Migori Governor Okoth Obado, Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi, Embakasi East MP Babu Owino and Senator Ledama Ole Kina.

Some of the mentioned individuals are battling corruption, economic crimes and hate speech cases in court.

The multi-agency team is formed from members of the National Cohesion and Integration  Commission(NCIC), the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission(EACC) and the Office of Director of Public Prosecution.

Do you think the newly formed team will be able to carry out its duties and responsibilities without bias?

Meanwhile here are stories making headlines on Opera News today:

Besides Ruto, the deputy party leader, and his allies, Jubilee is also reportedly targeting all other individuals who have publicly resolved to take a different political path, in a move that could see National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi face the wrath of members.
