With only 472 days to next year’s General Election, political players are increasingly entertaining debate on the possibility of a delayed poll.
This is largely informed by a congested calendar of political and legal activities ahead of the polls, scheduled for Tuesday, August 9, 2022.
Alive to the sensitivity of the subject and technicalities involved, parliamentary leadership is however cautious.
“It will be good if we can do that (delay the polls), at least for smooth execution of parliamentary tasks at hand. But again, our hands are tied on this,” Senate Majority Leader Samuel Poghisio told

Kang'ata: These two might have leaked Uhuru letter

THE STANDARD
KENYA
Murang’a Senator Irungu Kang’ata on Tuesday said he regrets the leakage of his letter to President Uhuru Kenyatta but suspects two leaders within Jubilee Party who might have had a hand in it.
Speaking during an interview on KTN News, the senator pointed an accusing finger at Senate Majority Leader Samuel Poghisio and Jubilee Secretary-General Raphael Tuju.
“I regret the leakage of the letter. It is not me; it was either leaked by Majority leader Poghisio, because he had a copy, or Raphael Tuju.

Murang’a Senator Irungu Kang’ata is the latest casualty in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Jubilee Party purge against MPs perceived to be disloyal, as he was fired from his Majority Whip seat.
And now the guns have been trained on nominated MP David Sankok, another key ally of the Deputy President William Ruto, following Monday’s purge of the nominated senators of similar political leaning. The senators yesterday got a reprieve after the Political Parties’ Tribunal suspended their expulsion.

Before the death of former President Daniel Moi on February 4 last year, Gideon Moi, his youngest son, uniquely managed to keep his life private.
Even after joining active politics in 2002 when he inherited the Baringo Central parliamentary seat his father held for 40 years, he still kept a low profile.
Born in October 1963, Gideon’s political journey was subtle up until the time he contested the Baringo Senate seat in 2013 and won.
He trounced his opponent, Rev Jackson Kosgei, with over 80 per cent of the cast votes.

The Senate last night overwhelmingly voted to impeach Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko.
In a vote that followed two days of trial, Sonko’s goose was cooked from the time, in the late evening, Majority Leader Samuel Poghisio responded to the impeachment Motion and announced that the hour of reckoning had come.
Senator Fatuma Dullo led the House in voting Yes from the first to the fourth impeachment charge. The vote reflected the prevailing political division pitting Tangatanga — led by Deputy President William Ruto, and Kieleweke — led by President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga.
