President Kenyatta has taken a swipe at politicians engaging in premature 2022 politics.
Speaking at the 2019 annual Akorino Conference at Kasarani Stadium on Sunday, Kenyatta vented out his anger on the leaders, describing them as thugs.
“These thugs that we elected are busy politicking. They should not think I am their boy, they will not stop me from constructing roads. They didn’t look for votes on my behalf. I went looking for my votes. This rubbish should stop bothering me,” a seemingly angry Kenyatta said while speaking in his native Kikuyu language.
“When they see me remain silent, they should not think they are threatening me. I will flush them out from where they are… Just because you are making headlines, don’t think you will bother me. And that is why I stopped concentrating on newspapers or those Facebook of theirs,” added Kenyatta.
Kenyatta’s thinly-veiled attack appears to be directed at politicians allied to Deputy President William Ruto, who accompanied him to the function.
“If you are an elected leader go to the grassroots construct schools, install electricity for your people stop going round telling us how you shall rise to power. You will not go anywhere without these people [the electorate],” said President Uhuru amid cheers from the audience.
Mikutano yote ya hadharani…
Mikutano yote ya hadharani yafaa ihutubiwe kwa lugha ya taifa ya Kiswahili na viongozi wote waliochaguliwa na umma. Ni muhimu sana wananchi wote katika nchi nzima waelewe ujumbe unaotolewa na kiongozi anapowahutubia wananchi.
Jambo la lugha ya taifa kutumiwa kwenye mikutano yote ya hadharani ni muhimu sana kwa ujenzi wa taifa.
Ndugu rais: Nilikusikia leo ukiwahutubia watu wa imani ya Akorino kwa lugha ya asili yako, lakini mambo mengi uliyosema kwa lugha ya Gigikuyu hukuyasema kwa lugha ya Kiswahili. Wewe si kiongozi wa Akorino peke yao tu! Hasha. Wewe ni kiongozi wa taifa zima la Kenya.
Nakuomba tena utoe amri ya kwamba viongozi wote wa taifa watumie lugha ya Kiswahili kwenye mikutano yote ya umma na lugha yao ya asili majumbano mwao pamoja na familia zao.
Look who is Talking yet you …
Look who is Talking yet you recently responded to @GUEST1 in MF…king’s language. No wonder he refers to you as wa MAFI or @Shoga daima.
Ndugu yangu @Imara, umesema…
Ndugu yangu @Imara, umesema kweli. Inahitajika vyongozi wote waliochaguliwa kuongea lugha ya taifa kwa sababu luga ni chombo cha kunganisha wananchi wote kutoka makabila mbali mbali.

What kamwana should be doing…
What kamwana should be doing is to directly address his DP, not to beat about the bush. Uwoga ni ya nini?
Back in the village you we…
Back in the village you we see dogs that bark without any bite.
Haujui uwoga ni wa KIGUOYA?

Ndugu yangu @Kijana: Asante…
Ndugu yangu @Kijana: Asante sana.
I have listened to the video…
I have listened to the video, and the speech was to ALL elected politicians. He was challenging them to do their job. It was not directed to a single individual.
Unfortunately, public…
Unfortunately, public outbursts do more harm to the president tan good.
It exposes him as a weak person who privately cannot marshal his lieutenants but relies on public outbursts to pass on messages to his political allies.
He sounds like an isolated man whose political significance and legacy is fast dwindling towards zero by 2022
Nilimsikia Ndugu Sonko…
Nilimsikia Ndugu Sonko akisema Uhuru achaguliwe tena baada ya 2022! Naye ndugu Atwoli alisema hapo mapema ya kwamba Uhuru achaguliwe tena baada ya kumaliza miaka yake kumi.
Ndugu Barack Obama ambaye umri wake ni sawa wa Ndugu Uhuru alimaliza miaka yake minane halafu akaondoka kwenye utawala wake Marekani.
Ilisemekana ya kwamba ufisadi Kenya umepora mali ya Wakenya yapata dola zisizopungua bilioni nane ($ 8,000,000,000.00) za Marekani. Ningependa kujua, wachache wanaotaka Uhuru achaguliwe tena kweli wanaipenda nchi ya Kenya?
EEEH!Kimeumaana mbele!…
EEEH!Kimeumaana mbele! Reminds me of Moi before he left office; the dude was a time bomb; mostly angry and very arrogant. Its the reality of losing power that comes with the highest office of the land” PRESIDENT”. Uhuru needs to chill out, W. Ruto will be the 5th president; that you can take it to the bank and cash it if you want.

Siasa iondolewe kanisani kabisa kutokana na wanasiasa wote!
