Dr.John Pombe Magufuli has succumbed to heart failure according to reports, despite earlier being reported that he was admitted at The Nairobi Hospital then flown to India over COVID-19 complications. It will be remembered that Magufuli was a strong sceptic of COVID-19.

President Uhuru Kenyatta. Just when Kenyans were hoping,praying and fasting that when President Uhuru Kenyatta gives his briefing today(12th March,2021) he lifts the curfew, he has chosen to extend it by a further 60 days! Kenyans pleaded with Uhuru, endeared themselves to him with words of praise with hopes that he will give in to the desire of their hearts, lifting the curfew. One internet user wrote; "Jayden the Great,Son of Jomo the great,the first man to board SGR the first man to sign BBI, who coughs and we respond,man of the moment...the father of this nation,the Guru Buvati of Kenya,we respect,love and adore you a lot.

Other directives that the president...

In a shocking move,Sonko has revealed how the Deep State is callous, tactical and plays filthy politics. The former governor, who has a reputation of being brutally and uncomfortably honest, revealed that during the 2017 NASA demos, the government led by Kibicho, "deep state members" and himself bought second- hand vehicles and burnt them in the streets to show how Raila Odinga's supporters were chaotic and disorderly.
