Bwaana, you're reigniting our TEARS!
I kept my passes from KQ flights 202 and 203 to and fro Mumbai on 15/16 October 2025. I couldn’t tell you what the toughest part of the day was, receiving the news in the morning or taking that flight to Mumbai. But I digress. I want to say Ahsante sana to some key people who made everything possible in very difficult circumstances. 1. The Indian High Commission in Nairobi and the Indian Government. I don’t know how many rules of international travel were bent to make that flight happen. Ahsante sana. 2. @KenyaAirways management and the flight crew led by Capt. Saviemaria Ondego. Absolute class. Bwana on the way back we thought our tears had dried then she hit us with that call change to RAO001 when we entered our airspace. Wacha tu. God bless. 3. The regular passengers on those two flights. Many were bumped off. Heavy seat changes to accommodate the delegation. Long delays especially on flight 202. Many had no idea what was happening until we were airbone and the captain made the announcement. Apologies for the inconveniences on that day, but you were very gracious. God bless. 4. The @kdfinfo . Bwana for the honor extended to Baba, we his people will forever be grateful. Salute🫡

I think for @edwinsifuna this is a tactical issue, not strategic enough to call for resignation.
An excellent example of Mr. Empty’s hypocrisy and doublespeak. Not fit.

But even then, greater work lies ahead. Unity must tag along the necessary supporting infrastructure!

That Sifuna and the united opposition shouldn't celebrate just yet for the bigger task lies ahead. And that the Dangote oil refinery has more than meets the eye. Catch more on my chat with @NerimaW on @HManyora Tv. @NjiruAdv See: youtu.be/aUp5MeBGFQE?si=qT18…
