Summarization
This series of tweets discusses political and economic matters in Kenya. An Azimio group has expressed solidarity and support for Dr. Matiangi who is facing an unresolved matter. Detectives have uncovered a high level fraud syndicate that has duped Safaricom out of 500 million shillings. A traffic police detail was sent to Matiangi's home last night, but according to Koome no officer was sent. Senator Raila Odinga is being asked to choose the people of Kenya or money. The matatu taxi industry is valued at 2 billion and Umoja is a women-only village where men are not allowed. Eritrea and Kenya have potential for economic collaboration, and Kenya is being seen as a model for its 90% use of solar, wind, and geothermal production. Fred Matiang'i was falsely reported on for arrest and the Azimio Parliamentary Group has expressed that the cause of Kenya is in great measure the cause of all mankind. Raila Odinga has been suggested as the future President and people should check the Kenya Gazette for job appointments. A guy from Kenya mailed support for Peter Obi's 2023 Presidential campaign and the pictures of Sabina Chege were discussed. Names in Kenya reveal the history and language of preservation in the country and Kenya has banned early morning/late evening lessons and the price of cooking gas has risen dramatically. Edwin Chiloba, a LGBT+ activist, was murdered in Kenya.
