- 13.10.2016.
Barack Obama famously said “Africans must build Africa for Africa!”. A nice message, but what do you do, when Africans themselves fight each other while building the same house? In Africa, those on the roof of the house under construction are receiving building stones from the ground, but they choose which people on the ground

Oh no!!! So sad to hear of his passing. Such a loss for Kenya and the world. #RIPBinyavanga

Exactly. If there’s a second chance, which I doubt. twitter.com/asante_l…

Well spotted! Good that Bakili is around to see the fall of UDF. twitter.com/chiku_ma…

No. UDF had a lot actually, more than 8 I think, before defections. That’s what made Atupele attractive and could get ministerial positions on the back of that. Not Chinana. twitter.com/chiume/s…

That one has been dead for a while twitter.com/chiume/s…

I think UDF yatha lero, having been on support machine for a while. The once mighty UDF, who could guess? Don’t take people for granted.

Controlling circulation of information sounds more plausible to me. Experience elsewhere shoes this is usually the reason during critical periods. twitter.com/alaudin_…

He was not hounded out! He made a decision to leave! twitter.com/rwakakam…
