The Deputy President and some deputy governors have cried foul of being sidelined by their heads. Are they only beneficial during the voting process? How can leaders pair up and not have an unreconcilable disagreement for the five years that they are expected to be in office? 

We are back after a slight break. In this 30th episode, we look at this process of having an idea and bringing another person on board, devaluing them, and once they have served their purpose in our grand scheme discarding them. Also what ripple effect has it had on our politics especially the ongoing campaigns? We also look at some of the recent major happenings that occurred during our hiatus including -

• The party primaries.
• What's next for the BBI.
• Former President Mwai Kibaki's Legacy.
• Are we still voting and other topics.

Finally, we are at the highest office in the land. In this episode, we look at the President's roles.

We have a checklist for what we look for in an individual who is eyeing this seat. Not only does this episode feature future talks of the individual who will occupy this seat after next year's general election but also we look at how our current president has faired - what roles and responsibilities has he been able to do and which he hasn't.

A Side Note - To get a breakdown of the roles of the deputy president and our thoughts regarding that particular seat at length listen to Episode 16.

With less than a year to the general election, the campaign is expected to go a notch higher. The main issue is as the person being wooed by the incumbent or the incoming leaders, do you know how to evaluate the candidates? Whether based on their track record or their manifestoes.

For the next couple of episodes, we are going to break this down starting from the MCA to the President.

This is partly a continuation to the 21st episode. Also, it is the first part of our discussion on Chapter 10 of the constitution. As Timothy likes to put it "Our Last Line of Defense" - The Judiciary.

Listen to get the breakdown and the hosts' opinions on this arm of the government and judiciary-related matters.

A lot has happened in the courts for the past weeks. From BBI being declared null and void to a new Chief Justice. We have a breakdown of these activities.

Also, Madaraka day is happening tomorrow. The celebration is happening in Kisumu and there is a spike as well as a new variant of Covid in Kisumu. Listen in to get the host's concerns.

We tend to focus more on the main government failures but do not stop to take a look at the people managing the counties, wards & constituencies.

Let us clean our houses first before complaining about the filth in our neighborhoods.

Have the Covid relief funds gone to the rightful use, is signing the online petition to stop the IMF loan of any importance.

We seem to be driving our energy in the wrong direction. Listen to find out the proper channels and more recap of recent major happenings.

Back with a Re-Cap of the By-Elections In Matungu, Kabuchai & London Wards. BBI also features in today's episode. Also, we discuss the president's address on Covid-19 and the new measures as the numbers surge again.

In this episode, we look at the process of the BBI so far. How have you found the process? We also look at what the next stages involve. In accordance with the process, we also look at how public participation has been featured in this process.

Also, we discuss the governor of Makueni switching to the BBI Train ditching the Linda Katiba movement. Are his reasons valid? Listen to know the podcast host's views.

On the 13th of February, 2021, Deputy President William Ruto at Ngaremara in Isiolo County claimed that his duties have been granted to other people. What does this mean? Does the Constitution clearly define the roles of this position? Does the BBI address this seat and perhaps the loopholes or the misfits around the deputy seat extending it to the deputy governors as well?

We also cross over slightly to the deputy governor's seat and the roles too. Our main question is: Is the position of the Deputy President CEREMONIAL?

We are back from a one-month break. We are taking a different approach to the execution of the podcast. In this episode, we cover a few topics such as towing the party line, Nairobi governance, and its politics, The BBI train, Uganda politics and so much more.
