I just love Kenyan politics...

Just when Wasaredo thought they'd take advantage of the friendly fires within Kenya Kwanza to start Riggy amefanya ile kitu.

The DP just poured very cold water on the fire, insisting there is neither crisis in UDA/Kenya Kwanza nor differences between himself and Daktari Ruto.

He has asked all UDA and Kenya Kwanza leaders to end the petty politics NOW and focus on delivering the BeTA.

Riggy G has promised to lead the way

Having listened to what the politicians said in Nyeri (at a church fundraiser graced by the DP Rigathi Gachagua), I'm fully convinced there is no rift between the president and his deputy.

What's happening is that there are competing interests (especially from Mt. Kenya).

More about these interests here:

Anyway, it's normal to have these competing interests though.

The good news is that Riggy G can competently handle his political opponents.

There are people who love politics of betrayal that they have to invent one where there is none!

Awuoro!

LEARN FROM THE GUAVA FRUITS

Both guavas are hanging together on the same branch of the same tree. One of them is already ripe, while the other one may need more time to ripen.

Nature is teaching us an important lesson through these guavas.

When we see others around us achieving success while we have not, it does not mean we are unsuccessful. It simply means that the right time for us has not yet come.

So, we must hold on, be patient, and not give up out of frustration. We might just be a few days away from reaching our ripened state.

Remember, our time will come, too, but it requires patience and perseverance. Trust the process and be patience!

ILCHAMUS, BARINGO SOUTH: Man from Sweden Becomes an Ilchamus Moran

When he flew to Kenya in 2011, as a volunteer with a local NGO, being an Ilchamus moran was perhaps the last thing in the mind of Max Roing, who is Swedish.

But three years later, Max 34, completely fell in love with the rich culture of the minority people on the shores of lake Baringo.

As if that is not enough, the soft-spoken Max was among 5,000 Ilchamus youth of Baringo County, who graduated to manhood last week after traditional circumcision in 2014.

"I came to Kenya as a tourist and also to help in environmental conservation through planting trees in Kajiado County," Mr Roing told said after the graduation.

He has now embraced his new culture, including the dress code complete with a dark pink shuka, a sword strapped to his brown belt, black sandals and decorative beaded attire. The rite of passage has enabled him to enter the current age-group, Ilmeng'ati.

"My name is Max Lemeyan Le Kachuma from the Ilchamus tribe and a clan called Iltoimai," he confidently introduces himself as he sips sour milk from a cup.

He then unwraps a polythene with round, yellow substances. He picks handful and pours some onto his milk.

Max has since married from the Samburu community in a Maa traditional wedding ceremony and lives in Samburu and Baringo Counties.
