The recent remarks made by Police IG Japheth Koome are not only unfortunate but also highly insensitive. The remarks echo exactly what a Ruto or UDA sycophant would say but in this instance coming from the top police boss in the country it is devastating.
Mercifully it confirms a few very shocking political developments in the country (so at least the outburst has given us information) which we will come back to shortly. If only Mr Koome would take a few minutes to remember what has befallen his predecessors who have taken the same path, he would have quickly changed his approach.
It is deeply concerning when the top cop of a country would takes sides in the political divide, as it undermines the impartiality and professionalism expected from law enforcement agencies. Kenyans have every right to feel unsafe when their police boss disseminates information that is widely known to be false for political reasons. Even Koome himself knows that what he told the press is lies and propaganda. This not only erodes trust in the police force but also raises questions about their ability to maintain law and order without bias.
In a country where security concerns are prevalent, it is disheartening to witness such behavior from a person in such a high-ranking position. The role of the Police IG should be focused on maintaining peace, ensuring public safety, and upholding the rule of law, rather than engaging in partisan politics.
These remarks highlight a serious problem within the leadership of law enforcement agencies. But coming at this point in time it tells us that Kenya is in much more serious trouble than anybody has imagined so far.

Recent major political events in Kenya would seem confusing to those who want to stick to official narratives. More so those coming out of a government that is well known for propaganda narratives. The truth is that it is highly unlikely that Karim Khan, the ICC chief prosecutor, would come to Kenya for no reason. As the head of the International Criminal Court's prosecution office, his visits to countries are usually driven by specific purposes and objectives.
It is worth examining the circumstances surrounding Uhuru Kenyatta and his family's decision to leave Kenya for a holiday. And the very disturbing timing for this development. Coincidences can occur, but it is important to consider the context and any potential connections.
Even as some Kenyans are highly expectant of a handshake or agreement of some sort coming out of the ongoing talks between Raila and Ruto teams to end political tensions in the country, the emerging realities on the ground tell us a very different story. And they tell us clearly the bad news; we should not expect much to come out of the talks. Both history and the characters of the main players dissuades any serious observer or analyst looking at this any other way.
Even as dark clouds hang over the nation of Kenya spiritually, some Kenyans have a very bad feeling about this August 2023. And they are convinced that something very big is coming. And it could quite possibly be linked to the dramatic events that have unfolded in the country over the last two months or so. Since Kenya attained her independence and even before, the month of August seems to have a streak of bad luck for politicians in Kenya. Disasters too have happened in Kenya in August. Game-changing major events have also unfolded in this same dreaded month.
