LIZ TRUSS, BORIS JOHNSON, AND THE BRITISH REVOLVING DOOR POLITICS

British politics is such that daggers are continuously held to the back of a leader, and so it isn’t wholly surprising that the brand new Prime Minister Liz Truss has fallen spectacularly within 44 days. Six prime ministers in six years. Three-Boris Johnson, Truss and the incoming in two months. So, Labour Leader is right to describe the current acrimony as the “revolving door of chaos,” instigated by raw ambition, scandal, ineptitude and backstabbing by close allies.

OIL DEBATE; CENTURIES OF RACIST [ENTRENCHED] EUROPEAN HYPOCRISY AGAINST AFRICANS

TITBITS TO CAPRICIOUS CRITICS TRYING TO DISCREDIT UGANDA’S ELECTIONS

Both Uganda and Kenya use similar laws and procedures for transparency and accountability in voter registration, polling, vote counting, tallying and declaration.

RAILA AMOLO ODINGA ‘AGWAMBO’S’ END AS PATRIARCH OF KENYA’S OPPOSITION

This week, William Samoei Arap Ruto, a self-claimed former roadside chicken seller, in a ‘hustler nation’, ended Raila Amolo Odinga a.k.a. Baba’s teary career in elective politics spanning four decades since Daniel Toroitich arap Moi’s iron fist KANU era of 24 years, mostly as a one-party state then fashionable in Africa. Agwambo, in Dholou, means a person who causes unexpected charming turn of events.
