Nairobi MCAs Slam Impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for ‘Double Speak and Bitterness’

-
Image
By irene  Nairobi City County MCAs have issued a strongly worded statement accusing impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua of hypocrisy, double standards, and bitterness in his recent political remarks. Speaking in Nairobi, the MCAs said Mr. Gachagua has perfected the art of double speak, noting that what he said during campaigns and while in power sharply contradicts what he is now preaching in opposition. “When he was in power, he dismissed former President Uhuru Kenyatta. Today, he suddenly calls Uhuru the kingpin of Central Kenya. This is not leadership, it is survival politics,” the statement read in part. The ward leaders accused Gachagua of failing to serve Kenyans when he had the opportunity, choosing instead to push divisive ethnic politics and succession debates rather than service delivery. “Now that he is out of power, he pretends to be the voice of reason. The issues he talks about today, he knew as an insider. If they were wrong, why did h...

GERD Nears Commissioning: Ethiopia’s Mega Dam Set to Power Development and Redefine Regional Cooperation

By irene  The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), Africa’s largest hydroelectric power project, is edging closer to completion and is poised to transform Ethiopia’s economy while fostering regional integration across East Africa. According to Mr. Abenezer Hakim, a diplomat at the Ethiopian Embassy in Kenya, the multi-billion-dollar project is more than a power plant—it is a symbol of Ethiopia’s resolve to fight poverty, expand energy access, and build stronger ties with neighboring countries. With over 120 million people, Ethiopia faces a severe energy deficit, as nearly two-thirds of its population lack reliable electricity. Once fully operational, GERD is expected to generate more than 5,000 megawatts of clean energy—enough to power domestic growth and create a surplus for export. “The ripple effects will be profound. Reliable and affordable power will empower rural communities, boost agricultural productivity, and lift millions out of poverty,” Hakim remarked. Th...
