This video examines Kenya's political tensions as retired President Uhuru Kenyatta publicly criticizes the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) for promoting ethnic division, warning that such rhetoric could trigger post-election violence similar to 2007. Kenyatta specifically called out UDA Secretary General Hassan Omar for inflammatory remarks, while President William Ruto's allies responded by accusing Kenyatta of re-engaging in active politics and ignoring positive developments under the current administration. The debate highlights how political rhetoric can either unite or divide societies, with the 2007 post-election violence serving as a cautionary example of the dangers of ethnic politics in Kenya.

What does daddy watch every morning?
>> What is econ?
>> Oh, daddy watches it every day.
Jubilee party leadership meeting and in the process like one of the main things of course he talked about was uh the whole thing of the return of um tribal politics and the dangers that that poses especially at Kangala history Kenya and what happened in the year 2007 but he also ended up saying some very interesting things and those other things Zilifa Sudi He got arousing reception from the Red Army in KBO County >> as he led the Jubilee party in a delegates meeting at Thika Golf Club Monday to prepare for next year's general election.
Retired President Uhuru Kenyata breaking his silence over the recent inflammatory remarks made by UDS Secretary General Hassan Omar about him and his community.
the former head of state warning that the statements could plunge the country into the post-election violence witnessed about 20 years ago.
>> Time of fly, man. Like sometimes when you think about the pee, post-election violence and um how after that we even used to hear about people called IDPs, internally displaced persons and um I think right now there's a lot of people are looking at your IDPs. They look at you like what does that mean? I don't even know if Jenz's actually one IDPs. I need to ask the two Gen Z's that I know like where are IDPS?
So it shows you how much time flies and the more that time flies the more that we forget things and the more that we forget the horrors of such things. So yes the PEV was not a joke and for us to even start thinking of going there is something that we should really be careful about.
2007.
Okay.
and yeah man 200 was such a dark place in Kenya's history and uh yeah those demons I don't think they they fully went cuz when ICC came in weak to our tribal cocoons and so the evils of 2007 were never fully addressed so that's something that we have to live with, you know. So, >> the Jubilee party leader urging President R to lessen the tax burden which he says is the root cause of a majority of challenges facing Kenyans.
20,000 transport 800. Okay.
mathematics confusing. I think I got lost somewhere.
So that's 12,800.
So I'm left with 7,200 I think. Okay.
What happens the president has done? I mean retirement is not house arrest as somebody said here. Of course, retirement is not house arrest.
And I was talking about how politicians say very good things and then they say one thing and like you didn't need to say that you didn't need to do that. And I feel like Uhuru did the same thing like yesterday. See some really whatever points. Yes, there are a lot of Kenyans who are angry because of the taxes and you the tax burden and the fact that it just keeps eating and eating into their uh income. So, there's that. And yes, he does not need to go into hibernation. Yes, he can still be involved in politics. Um that you've got an army behind you.
sleep knowing that you have an army of Kenyans behind you and will defend you at whatever cost.
>> You have an army behind you and we'll defend you at whatever cost. An army something that we associate with war politics should not be war and Fred Hampton was quoting someone else.
I'll be honest. Uh I know more stuff that movie and the Black Messiah. A very good movie. A great movie. Judas and the Great Messiah.
I think Fred Hampton.
Politics is war without bloodshed.
War is politics with bloodshed.
an army and what it's unnecessary. Just don't say it.
It's unnecessary.
>> Kenyat are reminding Kenyans that he warned them about electing his then deputy President William R into office.
>> Aba was very interesting.
This message the way it was delivered was delivered the wrong way. Remember, you can have the right message, but you can deliver the message the wrong way. Does that make sense? It's the right message, but you're delivering it the wrong way. How you delivering it the wrong way?
Remember what just talked about? He talked about how divided we are as a country.
So, yes, we are divided as a country.
So, let's hear how he delivered the message.
Very good message. But the fact that he felt that for that specific part he had to use the kuyu language meant that this was not a message. This is politics.
Politics about optics. It meant meant that the message was not to Kenyans but was to Kikuyus. And of course that's what what he meant. He meant the message for Kenyans. But who was waiting in the sidelines ready to react? Aron Cheriot and so how did Aroniot interpret the whole thing?
Um I think the first thing was the guy who was asking that even a broken clock is right. So yeah, hustlers dynasty hustlers just maintain just maintain until the end as much as you want to rub it in and tell these guys you know what on the last day just before the elections I even addressed you and you guys didn't listen to me.
You can do that but at some point you need to just not get the message across. This how I'll put it. I had a very interesting weekend this past weekend. And uh yeah, it was interesting.
And in the process, like one of the things that I ended up noticing is like people who I thought I was cool with, I ended up realizing I'm not cool with anymore. And what the hell is this? And then you think about it, you're like, damn, I have to be in this situation. I have to be the bigger person. I have to be the person who's like, you know what, just do your thing. Let me and I feel like your situation right now that Uhuru finds himself in. And it's easier said than done. Like it's easier said than done. Like this is like the amount of I had to take myself through that. I remember I was about to do some really dumb um in some WhatsApp group and I was just like this is went to watch lifting the trophy and then I was like you know it's okay let me and eventually why argue with you can just wait remember that right now is getting his victory parade.
He's like, "Yeah, I told you. I told you. I told you." And I'm sure it makes him feel good. But at the end of the day, he also has to reach a level of maturity where that does not make him feel good anymore. And as I keep saying, it's easier said than done cuz I remember that was the first thing like this aole.
time time I was like I don't give so it's a very interesting it's very easy advice to give whatever do it this way do it situations that's what I should do but I don't do that cuz we still emotional beings and sometimes we get caught up in the so yeah and don't forget politics is emotions and politics is emotional So, let me ask you because every time you take the microphone, my brother and our former President, you speak as if when you are president, we used to live in heaven. Maybe you don't know. We equally suffered when you were president.
We equally suffered. Okay?
Did we equally suffer if which could be true and this could be what he meant we equally suffered. But that means that right now you're admitting that people are suffering. You have to choose your words. Well, remember what I said it's politics. So it should be like during your time we really suffered during your time. Yeah. But >> let me tell you things were terrible before you became president.
>> Let me before you became president but I don't understand the anger when you are replying stuff and you president kata farmers used to buy fertilizer at 7,500 shillings when you president. Today when William R is president they are paying 2,500.
Let me inform you president Turu Kata because you may not know when Kenyans used to be unwell during your days and you had NHF as the only public insurance provider when you went to hospital the only thing NHF could pay for was 1,400 for bed capacity. Today you can meet more than 10 million Kenyans who have walked into a hospital both public and private and have had their bills either partially or fully paid for by his story.
I didn't watch the interview but did she talk about her surgery being paid for by sh part of it?
Yesterday we were with a deputy government spokesperson and I was not able to check if that was true. Check it. So it's one of those things that I had. Okay. So I don't know if that actually happened or not.
So >> that is a work of William R. Let me tell you my friend. Let me inform you that when your president the dollar had gone all the way to 170 shillings. Today it has been stabilized because of the good work. When President Muayaki handed over this country to you, the debt was at 1 trillion.
>> Um had the dollar reached 170? N man 178.
That was sweet.
That was sweet, man.
And I remember your time. Um, the fear of missing out cuz I remember when the dollar reached 160.
A lot of analysis online and part of the analysis was this thing is going to be 180 by this time.
So if you are planning to buy, you should have bought when the dollar was at 128 before 160 and then you should have been selling when it was at 160. Don't buy at 160 cuz I think afterwards 178 I think J going to check euro 150.
So um you can look at it this way for someone like u who let's say which player was playing in France but let's say a million which would have meant 178 million s you 150 million 28 million gone just like that lost but not lost cuz you can still use the money as in like when it's still in euros but if you're converting it to shillings oh that has to hurt every time change you Especially what are they called?
Middle East dollar. So disappear in shings. But I guess just think in dollars cuz if you start thinking in shillings, you're going to lose it. Um but hey >> you left it at 10 trillion. In fact the problems that you are facing today this economic hardship that you are saying Kenyans are facing it is because of your illegal borrowing money which we cannot see even what you did. In fact, I am tempted to believe what the former auditor general once alleged in 2015 that that money never made its way to Kenya. That it was banked into private accounts in Panama where you and those like you have private accounts, then you dare come back to us today and say Kenyans are facing hardship. If you know Kenyans are facing hardship, Mr. Uru Kenata, bring back the money that you stashed abroad into this economy and things will become better. Of course, the Euro and there are people who say that that money was used to make um to build Northlands.
Believe the latter. I think Northlands and it's just sad, man, that this is money that should have been for the country, but it ended up being the money for an individual. And all that time, R was in the sidelines learning, learning from the master. So maybe it's also the right time to tell the master to shut the up. Maybe I think so.
Join so that on your first transaction 100 cash back on your first transaction cash Pay your bills.
Janiational payments for everyone.
Uh but apart from that of course another guy who jumped on this story and yeah in real Katauru Kinat come up on a rice.
Come up.
politicians interesting and the way they talk cuz if you to go back to the year 2022 September early October you'd find Kashaga saying that Kenya with 93 million and I remember when he said that people actually believed it that that the whole country had 93 million and not dollars, shillings. Yes. Kenya 93 million.
at the end delivering the message in that's what you find now and I reply to that indirectly I whatever if you know you know I I Y K Y K. Yes, if you know, you know. Yes, that's what he was trying to do there.
251 kilo 6,500 to 7,500.
Okay, I don't understand what he meant by that. But yes, of course, one of the first things that they really fought was subsidies. Um, they said that was good for the Kenyan economy. Um, am I an economist? I don't really know. Was that good for the Kenyan economy? I don't know. Um, Historia maybe could reduce fertilizer from 7500 to 2500. Was it a good idea? I'm guessing yes. But then we had the fake fertilizer on one. So the question would be, was all the fertilizer that was coming in at 7500, was it real? Cuz if you sell me 2500 worth of useless fertilizer, have you actually helped me? So I'll fight.
can.
So that's and you can literally see the hands.
My brother of If he's actually going to deposit the 50 million, he's going to say and try and fight it through the same court system that he lost. pass through in the first place. I don't know history.
It's a tricky one, man. And uh let's that one later happen. But directly talking about Euro bond and the way that was enough money to maybe throw a billion.
Okay.
My friend, my friend, please Damn. Okay. Even uh before the elections. So this is also a monster that um what's his name? Of course created times.
Yes. before the election go on video.
So he's just doing one thing that he was used to doing. But yes, should Uhuru be involved in active politics? I don't know. You know, every Kenyan is allowed to give their opinion. Should he be taking the victory parade with the I told you, I told you. I don't think so. Um yeah, as I keep saying, are benefiting from deals that are happening.
Not everyone is losing if everyone is losing then who's winning? There's always someone who's winning.
So I don't know but also does Jubilee actually stand a chance? I don't know man. These Kenyan parties are interesting because all it takes is one person to die and the whole party collapses.
Puag party ODM seems to be on its deathbed and Jubilee I'd say is more dead than ODM. So I don't know man. Um come to history one time. I think if I was to have a conversation with Huru the question would be is it possible one time and is it actually true that you nearly resigned and R was like I'm going to slap you. Was that true? And what did you mean? What did you mean that is when you told Maraga we will revisit
