    The president of 254 didn't drink last night! You finally work up from your alcoholism and did what you are supposed to do. The issue is you woke up after the loss of 2 precious souls due to negligence of your KFS appointees.
    No complacency with SAFETY!!!PERIOD!!!!! Preach it every day, and everyone goes home to their loved ones.

    Who will sack Uhuru? He should have been the first to be shown the door. He appointed those he is firing. Why wait for a tragedy to act? Be preemptive!

    guys guys, this Kibowen fool is attacking me and trying to speak to me in Kaleo. I won't acknowledge that, I AM A KENYAN 1ST BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE. BEING KENYAN MEANS MORE THAN BEING FROM A TRIBE. let people speak the truth. Ruto is a disaster and should be in prison, not parliament.
