AMB SHIDIYE TICKS ALL THE BOXES OF WHAT A GOOD LEADER SHOULD BE. WITH EFFORT AND NEW IDEAS, HE WILL BE TRIUMPHANT  If Mr Mohammed Shidiye departs from the old, ineffective campaign strategy of ancient times and ushers in a sleek, social media-driven charm-offensive to hunt for votes, I am certain of his triumph and will surely clinch the coveted Garissa County Gubernatorial seat. He ticks all the boxes of a good leader effortlessly. He is a leader driven by intelligence, discipline, timely delivery and a forward-looking mindset focused on progress and accountability which is exactly what Garissa County needs.  True leadership is proven through service, consistency and results. Shidiye's track record and history of being result oriented and transformative leader is well documented. In a time when Garissa County is lacking a serious contender who is development minded and does care about the welfare of the people, true leaders like Shidiye is the ultimate choice to ...

HON SANEY: A PASSIONATE LEADER WITH INCREDIBLE TRACK RECORD AND AUDACITY TO STAND FOR HIS PEOPLE  Article by GIGGS YULE MOJA  Wajir North MP Hon Abdullahi Saney can best be summed in 2 words. Brave and passionate. Many things have been said about him recently. Both positive and negative things. But make no mistake, he trying to speak for his people and actively seeking the much needed development for his constituency. Rightfully so. Hon Saney has clearly shown that politics is not about unhinged rhetoric, empty promises or personal gain, but about service, unity, and lasting impact. It's about being proactive and responsive to the needs and concerns of the people. That's why he has created headlines with his hard hitting agitation for equality and equity.  Unsurprisingly, Ajuran elders have fully backed his relentless efforts and brave agitation for the welfare of his community and Wajir North at large.  After all, he is one of the 2 MPs elected on the ru...

NASRI SAHAL IS CLASSIC NARCISSIST DYSTOPIAN WHO THRIVES IN DESTRUCTION AND DEATH. SHE IS NOT OUR FRIEND.  Nasri Sahal is a toxic, tribal minded and warmongering woman who has built her entire political career demonising others who don't share the same despicable beliefs that she espouses. I say that as an Ogaaden man which is telling.  A clan hegemony proponent who has made a career out of decades of demonisation and beating the drums of war, Nasri Sahal is a textbook psychopath who won't bypass any chance to see blood spillage. She will watch people killing each other with an absolute glee. Mama Nasri has been spouting hate-filled sentiments meant to sow the seed of discord, disharmony and disunity in a selfish bid to bolster her dwindling political relevance. For a long time now, she has been feeding clan supremacy mantra and extracting pleasure from her destructive talking-points akin to the 1940 Nazi Germany.  She is everything that is wrong in our society...
