This is an appreciation tweet for the people who have walked with us to this historic ruling on HC Petition E282 of 2020 and consolidated petitions.
First to the lawyers and scholars who have volunteered their time and invaluable expertise starting of course with our lead counsel @NelsonHavi assisting counsel @AngawaEA and their team, thank you.
@NelsonHavi @AngawaEA Our technical bench @waikwawanyoike @SingoeiAKorir and the research team for all the heavy lifting behind the scenes—you are the real heroes of this victory, thank you.
@NelsonHavi @AngawaEA @waikwawanyoike @SingoeiAKorir To my co-petitioners @JerotichSeii @CiruGikonyo @Ikal_Angelei @JamesGondi for heeding my call to arms without hesitation, thank you, thank you for trusting!
@NelsonHavi @AngawaEA @waikwawanyoike @SingoeiAKorir @JerotichSeii @CiruGikonyo @Ikal_Angelei @JamesGondi To @ThirdwayAllian1 and all petitioners in the consolidated cases thank you for your indefatigable efforts to #LindaKatiba Thank you for never giving up.
@NelsonHavi @AngawaEA @waikwawanyoike @SingoeiAKorir @JerotichSeii @CiruGikonyo @Ikal_Angelei @JamesGondi @ThirdwayAllian1 A honourable mention goes to Justice @IsaacLenaola whose obiter dictum on “basic structure” in Petition 496 of 2013 (CIC vs National Assembly, Senate & AG) sowed the seeds of our petition, not to forget advocate @PaulNyamodi who raised it before the court.
@NelsonHavi @AngawaEA @waikwawanyoike @SingoeiAKorir @JerotichSeii @CiruGikonyo @Ikal_Angelei @JamesGondi @ThirdwayAllian1 @isaaclenaola @PaulNyamodi A big honourable mention goes to Chief Justice Rtd @dkmaraga and his 2017 presidential petition bench. Without their courage, we may not be here.

To the sagacious, courageous bench we say, God bless you.

Eid Mubarak everyone. 8/8

A modest proposal re: private sector led Covid19 vaccination initiative. A short thread 1/5
This is a challenge to our business leaders. I am challenging you to partner with private health care providers such as @AKUHNairobi, mission hospitals @meds_kenya to mount a private vaccination initiative, now that GoK has opened the door with the Sputnik
@AKUHNairobi @meds_kenya @KEPSA_Kenya members should back the initiative by undertaking to pay for all their employees. It should be possible to deliver vaccines at Sh3,000 or less. Notably, Johnson&Johnson has offered Africa 400m doses at $10 from Q3 this year.

On Sputnik vaccine furore A thread

GoK took delivery of 1m doses of Covid19 vaccine a month ago. It has vaccinated less than 200k people. Only frontline workers and people over 58 are eligible (oh, and diplomats). GoK plans to achieve 30% pop coverage by June 2023. 1/5
A big furore has arisen because some entrepreneurs, well connected wheeler dealers no doubt, spotted a business opportunity and imported the Russian Sputnik vaccine, which they are reportedly selling at Sh11,000 ($100) a pop. 2/5
The approval process seems irregular, but it has been certified nonetheless.
I would have thought Kenyans crying for the economy to be re-opened would welcome any initiative to accelerate vaccination . 3/5

Uhuru Kenyatta must be called to account for the plunder and squandering of Sh250b Covid19 emergency funds. A thread. 1/11
Since May 2020 the government has raised fuover $2.5b(Sh250b+) of Covid19 emergency funding from the World Bank, IMF, AfDB and bilateral donors, more than adequate for the required healthcare financing and socio-economic impact mitigation.
A paper published by KEMRI scientists estimated an additional 1500 ICU beds and 1600 ventilators to cope with an 18 month transmission cycle. Sh5m per bed&ventilator is only Sh7.5b, less than 3% of the money raised. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Open Letter to @RailaOdinga @skmusyoka @MusaliaMudavadi @MosesWetangula

Re: Return to Reason

It should now be clear to you all that BBI is Uhuru Kenyatta’s project to remain in power and you are all pawns in, and enablers of whatever his game is. 1/9
@RailaOdinga @skmusyoka @MusaliaMudavadi @MosesWetangula @WilliamsRuto As a retiring president, Uhuru has no mandate to meddle in the country’s political future. He should preparing to retire into quiet private life, following the excellent precedence set by Moi and Kibaki. Ask yourself why he is hellbent on remaining politically relevant? 2/9
@RailaOdinga @skmusyoka @MusaliaMudavadi @MosesWetangula @WilliamsRuto The path Uhuru Kenyatta he has taken is no different from Trump. Contemplate whether you want the legacy of GOP leaders who wouldn’t stand up to Trump, even as his madness was no longer in doubt, and will now go down in history as the enablers of his attempted insurrection. 3/9
