This years results will be incredible, Again.
Nyonga hawa, Wajackoya style! I admire Wajackoya’s brave zero tolerance rule for dealing with corrupt individuals & criminals! Kenyans are so, so systemically corrupt, such that the ONLY measure that will work is death penalty ndo ikue funzo kwa wengine.
Those who’ll cite human rights, God or Allah against that measure, I’ll say kiss 💋 my tailbone!
Kudos to the public for being vigilant and responsive! They are the heroes in this election!
