I wonder if there are NASA supporters working for these companies! If there are! Will they still be employed after the economic sabotage? Parliament should legislate on economic sabotage and make it punitive for saboteurs, bail beginning at 20million plus mandatory one year in jail.

Okay now, let’s use common sense. What we are saying here is that all NASA affiliated employees in these companies must also be quit or be fired. Right? If you do not like the products of these companies, then you do not care about their employment. Right? What alternative is NASA giving to these NASA affiliates? This proposal is defeatist and anyone following such naïve advice must be out of reason. Do not be lied to. These your so called advisers all have Jubilee jobs.

My challenge to my friends in NASA is. Let us lead all the tribes in Kenya towards Peace and Development.Whether someone is in Nasa or Jubilee.Let us make a conscious decision to actively move the whole country towards more Peaceful and more Development conscious destinations.Let us talk about how we can educate our Kids better.How we can heal our sick people better.How we can improve our economy.How we can have a more united country.How we can have a country that is more at peace with itself.Let us talk about how we can improve our agriculture.Let us talk about how we can make strides in Information Technology.Let us talk about how we can build a more Peaceful and Development conscious society.Not just for ourselves,but for our children and for generations to come.

This resistance thing is just a decoy .. the govt needs to be very alert and crush whatever mischief these thugs may be planning

This is similar to those sects that tell their followers to sell their belongings and give them to the sect leaders and then end their lives all in the name of obedience. "See your life now"

The NASA supporters are Jubilee dependants. How can you boycott your parents when you are in high school? The JUBILEE government should stop paying NASA Mps and Senators. What job are they doing for the government anyway if they can't vote any proposal in the parliament and they don't propose anything for the people? Let them join NRM or deny it. NASA are not mature yet for democracy and they should be dealt with squarely with military before they cause irreversible harm to our Country Kenya whose independence they never fought for anyways.

Is it possible to take the land at the land and make better use of it, I mean it's getting wasted by the minute. Guest1 and Doreen, can you please shed light on this soonest. This is urgent. I heard Raila has relas in South Sudan. Is he really Kenyan?

Godhavemercy (not verified)     Thu, 10/26/2017 @ 02:34pm

I told you so. Raila's end game was to make Kenya ungovernable. Economic sabotage. He is achieving his goals. How evil. One man, just to ascend to the presidency would rather destroy the country. Evil.

He will be defeated at every turn.Those that are advocating for Peace and stability in Kenya will continue to carry the day.He is losing support even among his core base of support.People are continuing to see everyday that they cannot afford to follow Mr Raila.I believe that couragious luo leaders are going to shun MR Raila.And Lead the Luo population in a more peaceful and development conscious direction.I think that it is the right time for other Luo Families to come up and take over the leadership of the Luo Community.Who said that Luos can only follow MR Raila?Nonsense.

He made sure that none of his flower girls will inherit his supporters. If I cannot have it nobody will have it. MoU with Kalonzo is garbage now. Wetangula, Mudavadi & Kalonzo better obey fake Joshua and join Orengo in the forest he is sharing with Joseph Kony. That is a requirement of NASA Gorilla Resistance Movement

NASA supporters will boycott these companies and yes our MPS will continue to receive a paycheck because the Constitution allows for the existence of opposition MPS in Parliament.And yes Jubilee is paying for our children in primary schools and they will pay for our children in secondary too if Arap Mashamba keeps his promise.It is the way the cookie crumbles.Sasa wanajubilee mtajinyoa au muhame central mukae huko .The other 41 legit tribes hawawezi fit central .NASA does not only consist of Luopeans .Tafadhali mjielimishe.Jubilee as you keep reminding us is now the ruling party basi mtatubeba Kama watoto.We are your spoilt immature children .Mambo Bado .

I will also boycott NASA products by firing 6 of my jaruo employees - they can join baba in the forest - there are plenty of kalenjins and kyuks looking for jobs

NRM? They should get a modern name!! NRM is archaic, over used and not creative. It gives the impression of men (no women) hiding in the forest, with support of foreign powers. Try some other name like ‘Nguvu Zetu’ (Our Strength). I am sure our young people can come up with a better trendy name, one that speaks to their aspirations and struggles. #dumbdonkeydecisions

Boom! The sad part is I saw a man being interviewed in Nyanza , a grown ass man with a very good command of Queen English ..smh... but he said Baba alisema tusivote , hata kama nataka lakini baba alisema and behind him was Larry midiwo former elementary school with a dog carcass hanged on the gate and when asked about such a disgust, he didn't see anything wrong with it- that is how people are so brainwashed , unbelievable. I may be Uhuru damu but heck I condemn many things that he has done that has been contrary to my believe , I'm not that brainwashed in fact Arkout may proof to be candidate of my choice. PK used to be but he made blunders

They opposition have become a bunch of dotards with nothing to offer.
Instead of Akombe and company engineering a Government takeover by force , they should come up with a winning formula.
I pretty sure we got very wise and intelligent people in the opposition who can engineer how to win an election
lakini si kupiga domo.If Raila would have used his influence to make Kisumu one of the major cities in world , I am sure there
is something he could have pointed out why people need to vote for him. But look, Kisumu is lagging behind in development in many areas
but yet if you look its strategic position it could be competing with other cities. Most of the colonial structures are still intact
and there has been no ideas and new ways of expanding it. Another example, Lake Victoria , the second largest fresh water lake and look the state
of peoples economy who live around this areas , it is not so good . If RAO was serious this people would be living better . Raila should have used
his influence to modernize the fishing methods in Kisumu , it is saddens me that our brothers are still using canoes to fish and if their are modern fishing boats they
are just a few.

This is the most interesting story of our times,how does someone think in such a manner? You mean Railas team doesn't know that petrol stations aren't owned by the brand owners,for example a brand like OILYBIA will have different stations in different locations owned by different people.and believe you me most of the ones I know are owned by nasa supporters. Even kenchick just to name but a few. That is why you see that this just death on arrival movement without any support from any sensible person!!!

I think you remember the story of Daniel the judge the two ladies who both had children but one slept on her baby to death and the following morning it was a battle between the two ladies. The one that killed hers claimed the right of ownership of the living baby and so was the case for the rightful mother. But when David opted to split the living baby into two you remember the lady who knew that the baby wasn't hers said very quickly yes do it!!! It is at this point that David knew the mother of the living child.
TAFAKARI.....
