Ndugu Uhuru:

If you truly love Kenya, please do the right thing: Have the courage to resign!

@imara Githu resigned because his advice to arrest and charge your godman for treason was not heeded. A man of principles.

@Njagi: "Wi Mwaro?" I don't have a god like you. I have said repeatedly here that neither Raila, Ruto, or Uhuru is fit to be the president of Kenya.

The ANC of South Africa wants Ndugu Zuma to step down. The people of Kenya should ask your "icc god" to step down.

After 82 coup, Moi surrounded himself with people he can trust. Uhuru must surround himself with people he can trust. He learned a lesson from mkora Maraga. Trump surround himself with his family members & close buddies.
