The Hypocrisy of ODM Politicians: From Opposition to Enablers of the Status Quo

Image
In the aftermath of the 2022 general elections, many Kenyans who supported the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) felt that the country had missed an opportunity for good governance, led by the party’s seasoned leader, Raila Odinga. Despite a hard-fought campaign, ODM was outshone by the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party, leading to the swearing-in of President William Ruto. As many hoped that the election loss would bring an invigorated, principled opposition, recent developments have caused some to rethink their optimism about ODM's role in shaping Kenya’s future. Perhaps the most shocking turn of events was Raila Odinga’s sudden rapprochement with President Ruto. What seemed like an unforgivable betrayal to ODM supporters, has since become a cornerstone of the political landscape, as Raila, once the face of a fierce opposition, has entered into a “handshake” agreement with the very man he had vigorously contested in the election. The ramifications of this politica...

why is kalonzo ripe for the presidency

Image
Kalonzo Musyoka is often seen as "ripe" for the presidency of Kenya due to a combination of his political experience, strategic positioning, and the evolving dynamics of the Kenyan political landscape. Below are some key reasons why Kalonzo is perceived to be in a strong position to vie for and possibly win the presidency, particularly in 2027: Kalonzo Musyoka has been a central figure in Kenyan politics for over three decades, which gives him a wealth of experience that many other candidates may lack. His political career spans various roles and responsibilities that have not only made him a household name but have also equipped him with the skills necessary to lead a country.

His role during this time, especially in the aftermath of the violence and in the power-sharing agreement with then-President Mwai Kibaki, showcased his diplo...

What Donald Trump's win will mean to the economy of Kenya

Image
 The potential economic impact of a Donald Trump win on Kenya would depend on several factors, including U.S. foreign policy under his administration, global trade dynamics, and how Kenya navigates its relationships with both the U.S. and China, as well as other global powers. While predicting specifics is always tricky, here are a few areas where Trump's presidency could influence Kenya’s economy:  1.Trade and Economic Relations    -U.S.-Africa Trade Relations: Under Trump, the U.S. largely favored bilateral trade deals over multilateral agreements. Kenya, as one of Africa's largest economies, could either benefit or face challenges depending on how the U.S. prioritizes African nations. Trump’s administration was largely focused on improving trade deals with countries that have large trade imbalances with the U.S., so Kenya’s export opportunities could be affected, especially for agricultural products and raw materials.    -African Growth and Opportunity A...
