We are about to find out Akombe's sexual history, Class 2 grades, the book she didn't return to the library & whether she likes avocados.

We have been accommodating Raila's tantrums for long. But planting Roselyn Akombe to steal power through back door is unacceptable.

AKOMBE is part of the MARAGA coup. It is happening in SLOW MOTION in front of our OWN eyes.

Wafula Chebukati was to resign last Saturday but was threatened with dire consequences. He does not know what to do nor can he run away like Roselyn Akombe. Kukaa, just resign. Kenyans will protect you.

Kudos to Akombe, Courage is to Know WHEN it’s more PATRIOTIC to Quit than CONTINUE with a CHARADE!
