Thank you very much for keeping us company from the time we started till now. I'm seeing so many tweets, so many comments on our Facebook platform, Y254. And on our Twitter platform, at Y254 channel, the hashtag is Why in the Morning. For those who have not sent in their comments and their thoughts on the different stories that have made headlines this morning. Remember, we have the death of the former governor, former senator of Garisa that is Yusuf Haji. So many people are sending in their comments in regards to that. So make sure that you tell us your thoughts about what you think about Haji the man himself. Okay, now we put a question online on our Facebook page, says, who are the best and the worst people to have around at your workplaces? I'm seeing so many people are already giving in their comments. Head over to Facebook, Y254, and drop in your thoughts. We shall sample them up later on during the career discussion segment with Sarah Mooney, who are the best and the worst people to have around our workplace. So many comments there, we shall sample them up later on. Head over to our Facebook page, Y254, drop in your thoughts in regards to that as we shall discuss career. But before that, this morning, let's talk about politics, youth and politics. What has taken center stage in the political arena? I'm joined by Daniel Orogo, political analyst and Christine Kendi, at the center, who is also political analyst. Garibusana Kendi and Dan. Thank you very much. Before we touch on politics, let's talk about Governor and Senator Yusuf Haji. Not a little bit. He passed on this morning, quite sad indeed after a long illness. Christine, what are your thoughts in regards to the former senator of Garisa? It's really sad. And I mean, he passed on when something that he had just started, the BBI, which he was chairing, is on the way to taking off. So it's really sad. I think he would have wanted to see BBI being implemented. And I hope we shall implement in his memory. And I hope we shall implement in his memory. If you look at the footsteps that he has left, Dan, what do you remember there for his senator for? Well, I think, first of all, he's just to also convey my heartfelt colonelist to the family, friends and relatives and the people of Garisa for losing a public servant, a stint public servant who is well-enowned for his role in public service. We vividly remember the late senator for a number of reasons. One is his role in peace processes in northeastern Kenya. Yeah, the Al-Shabaab issue. The Al-Shabaab issue, when the nation was in a state of confusion, in a state of panic as a result of the insurgency. Senator, by then, I think Defense Minister, you remember, he stood up to his ground and never shielded the sympathizers of Al-Shabaab militants. And as a result of that, I think his purpose in duty and his honesty in public service helped the country to deal with the insurgency that was raising havoc in northeastern Kenya. One of the issues that we also remember, the late, is of course what my colleague just talked about, is he didn't stop at his backyard only. But of course, he served and make sure that these peace processes are enrolled throughout the country. As a public servant who served different regimes, I think it bequits him to understand that the Building Bridges Initiative was well needed in this country, I think, to his own understanding from his own experience. And therefore, he never shied away from even dutifully serving as the co-chair of the Building Bridges Initiative. So we pass the condolences mentioned. And I think Kenyans have lost our personality and has lost a figure that we will well miss throughout. And the story needs to be told for the generations to come. Speaking of generations to come, Yusuf Hajji is one man who has left quite a legacy. I'm looking at still on what he has said. He has left eight children. And here we're talking about the DPP, Nudin Hajji, and Abdul Hajji, who is amongst many others, the time of his passing, a person who is 80 years, looking at he has left leaders in the country. What do you think about the legacy that he's living behind, those that he has helped raise, those that he has also put, or helped put on the limelight to become leaders in the country that are changing the nation? Christine, Kelly? His shoes are big to fill. They will be very difficult to fill. But he's done one thing most leaders don't do. And it is one thing that defines leadership, that is bringing other people up, that when you're gone, you will not leave a vacuum. Even from his family alone, we can see that he has left leaders in the country. He raised leaders, which is not easy to do. And he's not a person who only shined in the public, but a person who also shined in his family. You know that bringing up a family of people like the DPP, the likes of DPP. I mean, people with integrity is not an easy thing. So we shall miss him. And we hope that the vacuum will be impossible to fill, but we hope that it can be filled. You talked about the legacy. It wasn't that, the legacy that he's leaving behind. Yeah. I think it's so progressive because as a family man and as a leader, the intricate balance between being a servant leader and making sure that you leave the footprints, establish footprints in both a family in both community and in a country at large, that's what's really always become very difficult in leaders. One of the issues that we really understand is that what can we glean on as a generation of young people who would want to send you to leadership position, minus character, minus value, and minus a well-read in terms of arming ourselves with history and content. So I think one of the issues that I would add is the footprints the senator has led behind and the legendary legacy that he has laid down. It bequeath a generation of ours to, first of all, do not really be reactive about his, but also to be proactive by reading, by assimilation, and by understanding that this was a man of the soil who toiled so much to ensure that he has a well-balanced family, but he has a well-peaceful society in his neighborhood, but also extended his service beyond the borders of his origins and served as a country at large. And like my colleague mentioned, the only reward of which the proponents of Building Bridges Initiative would give it to him is to make sure that what he stood for, to see a country that is moving from blood ties to a country of ideals, realized, and that is the Building Bridges Initiative that we have. And there are lessons that especially the youth can pick from such a leader, like Senator Yusuf Hajji. May he always in eternal peace, someone who served as the chair of the Building Bridges Initiative Task Force after being appointed by the president himself, leaving a big legacy. His shoes we may not fit, nor may fit into the shoes that he has left. But regardless, we need to pick leadership qualities from him and replicate on ourselves. We should learn from our elders, like Yusuf Hajji, may he rest in peace. Now, let's move on to the next story of the day. And this is in regards to Jubilee Party. We have seen what happened in the past one week a lot. And I realize a week is a long time, especially in politics. One week is a very long time, even a day. Now, let me start with you, Christine. These rungles that are taking place within Jubilee Party, the rift, do you see this shift growing even further? You know, it's a shame that all this is happening in Jubilee and in state of Jubilee taking responsibility, they're blaming other parties. And in every party, they are conflict resolving mechanism, which we call them the oppositions in Jubilee, or they have already taken over to become the official opposition with the party. No, they have the National Management Committee that talks about it. They also have the party disciplinary committee. Yes, there are so many conflict resolution mechanisms in the party. With this party, where people can sit down and resolve all the issues. But it's because no one wants to resolve the issues. People want to leave the party, but they do not want to. They still want to have their cake and eat it. You want to be in a position, but still enjoy the parks of being in the ruling party. So you know when you leave all the parks, you lose out on the parks of the ruling party. And in as much as they keep blaming the former PM, Rayla Odinga, we have to know that Rayla Odinga is not in government. Rayla Odinga is not the deputy president of this republic. He is an opposition leader who sat with the president to resolve for the sake of peace in this country. Dispute resolution. Yes. And the political parties act allows it. It allows for the opposition and the ruling party. For the sake of the country, because the country is bigger than any other person. And then the people who have been suspended or expelled, they haven't been expelled already, it's a shame. When you are a nominated member of parliament, you have never represented the group that you nominate. Let's start with Isaac Maura, for example. He represents the disabled. I would have expected this. There's a day I was near Kencom, and I was watching a guy on a wheelchair being carried into the bus. That is because he don't even have ramps on our buses. What was Isaac Maura doing in parliament? Who was he representing in parliament? When in a country like Kenya, in 2021, a disabled person has to be carried by a conductor and passengers for him to get into a bus. And his wheelchair folded up and put in his in the car. What happens during the rush hour? When it's a kilo, what happens to this person on a wheelchair? He cannot get into that bus. What happens when the conductor is a rude person who doesn't care about this person? It does not happen. When we have traffic lights that don't even, they're supposed to be vocal with an audio, something audio where when the light turns green, it says the light has turned green. For the sake of the deaf, what has Isaac Maura been doing in parliament, claiming that he was representing the disabled? Even if it wasn't for the party's suspensions, I think the disabled should have come up and challenged for his suspension, because that person has never represented them. We have people like Millie St. Omanga representing women. I am a woman. This is a time. You don't feel like she represented you in parliament? I should not represent me. This is a time when we had a woman give birth in Pangani Hospital, outside the hospital. And the best those women could do is carry basins and sanitary towels to the hospital, as if the woman had been denied entry, because she did not have sanitary. So in other words, what you're saying is that these senators or members of parliament that have either faced the acts or you're saying they deserve it? They deserve it. They never. But you're bringing the whole blame on that particular individual, yet they have participated in parliament. No, let me tell you, this is a political party. You were nominated by a political party. It wasn't a wedding you were going to attend. You know when you are nominated, you represent two things. The people you were nominated to represent, because you do not have a constituency, and the party. So when you go in parliament, you are supposed to vote according to the party lines. Any other domestics you have with the party, you resolve them during a party meeting in an internal party meeting, using the internal party conflict resolution mechanisms. Do you agree that they deserve whatever they are going through? And that they have failed those who they represent in parliament? Well, I think first of all, our constitution envisions institutions of political party to be institutionalized in terms of democracy within. That any representative would be in opposition as they represent the people that they elected, or people that nominated them. They should be some leeway of expressing a decent view within that would build a political party. Let me begin from there. I also admit that the political parties act also restrict the nominated representative within any political party within the time that they serve in those political parties, not to advance ideologies of a party that they represent. And to that effect, the Jubilee party was right to take legal actions. I call them legal action because that then violates the Constitution of Kenya. That is an upfront to the political parties act. Politically, the actions might not be popular. And I'm holding that view for a number of times. It might be legal advancement, but not politically correct. When you look at the performance of Jubilee party as a governing party, beginning with a structure of leadership of Jubilee party, it is a failed political party from the beginning because this is a governing party that seed power with a well-crafted contract between the citizens of Kenya and the political party who is in a position to govern. I would refer you, and is in the public domain, the party leader.
