The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Governor Abdulswamad Sheriff Nassir, please ensure organisers of the Tudor Water Festival compensate the bereaved families. Truth is there were safety lapses in the organization of the event, and this has cost lives.

Deeply saddened by the passing of my dear friend and former Prime Minister of Kenya, Mr. Raila Odinga. He was a towering statesman and a cherished friend of India. I had the privilege of knowing him closely since my days as Chief Minister of Gujarat and our association continued

Raila Odinga was a true champion of democracy. A child of independence, he endured decades of struggle and sacrifice for the broader cause of freedom and self-governance in Kenya. Time and again, I personally saw him put the interests of his country ahead of his own ambitions.

Today, I had the honor of making a heartfelt donation of 15 bulls and 15 bags of maize to the family of the late former Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, at Kang’o ka Jaramogi in Bondo. This gesture is a humble token of my deep appreciation for Raila Odinga’s

From the speeches by James Orengo, Gladys Wanga, Sifuna, Millie Odhiambo, Abdulswamad, Simba Arati, Mbadi, Oparanya, Ruth Odinga etc at Baba's funeral in Bondo, it's clear that ODM is staring at an abyss. It'll be interesting to see how they navigate the murky months ahead.

Truth is Hassan Joho is loved in the Coast region and many other parts of Kenya. He is a political maverick in and by himself, even without ODM. He will fare well in this post-Raila era.

In post-Raila era, the big question is: does Edwin Sifuna need ODM more or does ODM need Edwin Sifuna more? It will eventually boil down to this.

Any political strategist worth his/her salt will tell you that removing Edwin Sifuna as ODM SG at this time will only increase his popularity and expand his support-base. He'll be seen as a victim, and we all know that whenever the public doesn't know what to do, it supports the

I took a mental note of all speeches by ODM leaders yesterday. Here is my summary. 1. Gov. Anyang' Nyong'o: Raila's ideological and birth twin. He suffers no fools and will never be a sycophant. For all intents and purposes, he is the real Luo leader left, regardless of what the
