When PLO speaks, does anyone have a choice apart from to listen? His way with words always amazes me. Intelligent, wise, clever, smart, informed and always willing to give an answer even when you think the question is out of place! These are the people that needs to dominate our screens not politicians and other people who have no clue of the subject. We would be learning a lot
What a towering statesman, doing civic duty. You spoke to my mind. Indeed Kenyans we need an overhaul in mindset. Ethnicity, mob rule and corruption would be a thing of the past.
My mega question is how can there be peace where injustice prevails. People steal from public coffers left, right and are not punished. Infact are awarded with Government positions.
Honestly I have not yet feel the freedom of my country and always put me in tears 😭 as I remember the way am taxed and get poor service in return and theft of my tax it pains really I can't imagine how I feel whenever i see injustice done to me or my fellow countrymen it's so sad really 😭😭😭
People like PLO Lumumba and omtatah deserve all the good things in life. Just imagine if these kinds of people were the presidents and VPs of our country?
Our obsession with presidency. I dare say the discussion is even suggesting the opposite, making the presidency less "powerful/relevant" by making local systems (devolution) work.
I can't say much about Omtata, but PLO has been tested and he failed the intergrity test while he was the CEO of EACC. He received a bribe from a person who was being investigated by EACC. He can only become a bigger bribe taker if he ascends to the office of the presidency.
Good to have sober minds speak, reminding us we are still in a country called Kenya, people who know our rot, where we are coming from, where we are and the hole we are heading into.
I DONT AGREE THERE SHOULD BE RULE OF LAW AND JUSTICE WE WILL NOT ACCEPT CHAOS. PROF UOU MIGHT NOT LIKE RAILA BUT IN THIS ONE YOU ARE WRONG SUPPORTING IMPUNITY AND CORRUPTION IS THE PROBLEM
PLO speaks well but has not addressed the causes of post election stand offs! Lumumba's idea of political hygiene is not viable in countries where institutions ie IEBC are independent on paper, but are operating on the principle of the highest bidder wins. The staff are unreliable and are not neutral! Say if what we've been told by other commissioners are true, how can a chairman tally elections results privately and then declare a winner? Who is going to respect such a result? Is it that we just have to have "political hygiene" and move on!!?
PLO Lumumba is the greatest man in Africa. He is a passionate lawyer. He is intellectual, brilliant, clever and patriotic but he is genuine and most lawyers lie. PLO can be a president and he is like natembeya
@@wangarikariuki6522 , people like PLO Lumumba are some of the reasons Kenya is a mess. There can never be peace without JUSTICE - something that the likes of PLO never realize.
@@FredMugoneYou have wisdom and you have a great future too. He's smooth with words but the substance is empty. He can't understand what happened in 2002 when Uhuru conceded elections. Then he goes ahead mention 2007, 2017 etc as if he wasn't around. If you call him a scholar then something must be really wrong because he's playing cheap politics that will continue to destroy Africa. He finds comfort in the company of dictators like Museveni and he doesn't know any pain of giving birth and raising a family coz he's got none. A senior bachelor on a mission to destroy Africa.
You are right,they preach peace as though Kenyans have been at war since independence. They can't dare talk about the reason why there is lack of the so called''peace'' -which is justice the underlying issues - causative agents for wrangles in every elections are swept under the carpet. We only seek for temporary cure for otherwise a long time wound.
my fren. If you are soo brave, why don`t you go stone riot police? Let alone the police or government, just walk from Nairobi CBD, through Gikomba, to eastlands alone at night, say from around 9.00 PM on foot. After that dose with reality, go back to your safe keyboard and narrate the experience. You have very many options another one that is more realistic is an invitation to visit wajir or mandera, far from major urban centers, hire a vehicle and just drive there sightseeing. Acha ukumbaff. If you cannot shut up for a few moments after a dose of wisdom such as the one delivered by PLO, then you are below contempt, very ignorant.
When Lumumba talk I can't fault anything but chew the truth and learn, that part of Matiba challenging result and disagree with the judges but accept the outcome and the words he used oooh my, those are the words leaders of today should listen to
I can listen to this guy over and over until sunset. A quintessential lawyer, who has his words in order and understands the constitutional and political terrain of Kenya.
The main question to Lumumba should be,should we trust our institution when we know time and time again it has failed us over and over again?Should we keep quiet on injustice just to veil ourselves on the idea of having a false peace ? Lumumbas Philosophy is to maintain peace in the face of everything wrong with the institution,that is not a philosophy on which you lay your foundation,peace cannot exist in its true form without Justice. Sometimes a revolt is needed or civil disobedience is needed as proposed by Henry David Thoreau because the government does not always deliver its mandate to the people and also the governemnt and its components are not omniscient,they get things wrong from time to time. Lumumbas philosophy is too idealistic,we need to be very realistic about how we view institutions and if Kenyan institutions were Ideal,opening the server should not be looked at as a taboo thing for an opposition leader to ask,its his right as someone who participated in the election.The only way in this instance where as Kenyans we are going to trust the intitution is by IEBC opening the server and allows a forensic examination to be done,other wise what is there to trust in such an institution ?
The story about alternatives from opposition that plo is talking about is total bullshit. And i respect the man so much that i don't expect such bull from him
PLO isn't even talking about the current event unfolding in Kenya. How can he sit the entire time without mentioning genZ and the courses they're agitating for? How did PLO support Uhuru Kenyatta in 2017 in an election that was obviously rigged? Without mentioning Raila's name, you can tell that his conversation is widely geared at Raila.
Both realities exist in the same same sphere, the presidency is where billions of tax payers money is well looted well protected, everyone wants to be president of this crime scene banana republic called Kenya
As a Central Kenya resident I can confirm having one of your own at the top most seat in the land will never ever help a community. All I need now is to have a governor who knows his/her mandate in matters devolution
Yiu are wrong. Devolved govts receive only about 15% of national revenue. The rest remains with national govt. 15% over 47 county govt leads to only 0.3% per county while 85% remains with national govt.
We are facing poor governance as a result of politicians utilizing intentional gaps left in our constitution. This can be easily noted by gradual use constitution amendment process(Referendum) to make new political formations. Why don"t we have a properly drafted constitution that brings political sanitation and bestows power to the people. We can borrow a leaf from South Africa.
Debate in parliament. That's the Key. HOWEVER, with the perennial eviscerating opposition in parliament through coercion, healthy debate has been starved. That's the elephant in the room.
Kenyans are peaceful in nature. That is why there was peace after the elections & supreme court judgement. It is our leaders who inscite their supporters to cause violence
prof is excellent even if i rarely respond on You tube he's right communication is critical for any future president reading this Speaking less and communication and civic education is the basics of good governance infact when a president speak he has the biggest microphone and calm even the most least trustful person of him in the country
I am really so proud of PLO.,The greatest learned fellow I have ever seen.Professor Lumumba is one of the brightest minds Kenya has.His insights are unmatched. I always admire him.
Informative Information for knowledge seekers listening is an important asset. Continue listening to OWNING OWN knowledge for better knowledge understanding for lasting better conclutions.
Infact I thought by creating Counties the purpose was to distribute power to the people and strengthen power locally and stop making Central Government
The central government has never left the power and resources to go devolved units.. Counties only receive 15% of the revenue and central government takes 85%.
If it was about distributing resources to the people the government should at least give 35 % to all counties Equally but wait they cannot do that because they want to embezzle funds
As people comment on PLO's brilliance, I can't fail to also wonder the brilliance of CT Muga,that man is a deep thinker too. Luos are intelligent to be honest 😅
Personally I struggle to find that in him In fact, I always think he is the 'naive' one who is always thrown in to neutralise the brilliance of the other 2, the way radio stations fix comedians I may be wrong regardless
Listening to the spice trio has been the best thing that happened to my adult life. The trio command and sobriety in topical issues in kenya is a helpful informed choice.
You have taken the words right out of my mouth. I admire his ability to think independently and see alternative views in every situations no matter the expertise of the speaker
If Lumumba and Maraga runs for the highest office together, they will change kenya, at the moment, what we have opposition and those in power are just the same.
@@eshiyosalat7211Why should choices be made between economists abd lawyers? Are those the only professional callings available? Should the presidency be a preserve of either of the two professions?
Very true what Prof. Lumumba say, he has described it very well, b/se people are still narrow minded, abit illitracy in them, egoistics, ignorants of the responsibility of what leadership is concerned. The seat can't make you think when you are not a sharp thinker, responsible.
Prof is right,but our biggest handicap is at the party electoral process. Majority of the people who ended up as MP's were assembled for their leaders lustful ambitions but not the mwananchi and the country.
I wish presidency would rotate automatically to all different ethnic groups - just for 5 years to facilitate all groups lead without waiting for so long. Then we carry on the policies of the previous leader instead of always re-inventing the wheel in all matters covered in the 22 ministries, so policies SHOULD be made for common good for ALL.
Correction PLO the Constituency Development Fund was a brain child of Engineer Karue then MP for Kipipiri long before the 2010 constitution. The good Engineer may have looked at the Ugandan version of devolution for inspiration. However, Martin Shikuku, he of the blessed memory, had way back in the eighties (or was it seventies) put up the Butere Constituency Development Fund with a monthly token of 10% from his then small Bunge salary. Karue's CDF had a smooth intro courtesy of late Oloo Aringo who helped to establish the Parliamentary Service Commission with own budget separate from the executive.
When outside Kenya, PLO is a wonderful speaker Back home, he gambles. Justice prevails peace. Unless electoral injustices are addressed, we shall never have peace let alone any reasonable devpt.
This guy talks too much but I've never quite seen his actions. Always advocating for peace amidst injustice...sweep it all under the carpet... that's his idea of peace...that kind of reaction when something is wrong is what brought us here to begin with..what allowed for corruption to sit in the top office

But what is the point in appointing incompetence for the sake of accommodating every one. The problem in kenya is tribalism period and like racism it will never end
@@mourice1669 Is competence found only in some tribes? Wasn't 60 years of self-rule enough time for the Govt to ensure that adequate competencies are nurtured and encouraged to flourish in all communities?
Nigeria has its own problems, too, as the ex-president eluded to. As one person said, there are some undercurrent workings that are not in the best interest of the populace. We pray that the Spirit that hovered over the waters in the beginning and caused formlessnees, darkness, and emptiness to be removed and light and shape to come upon the earth; so may it be to Africa. May wholesomeness come to its people and land , as he also hovers over the minds of those who are called to lead this 'Great Continent'. May Jehovah God bless Africa.

The central government has never left the power and resources to go devolved units.. Counties only receive 15% of the revenue and central government takes 85%.
If it was about distributing resources to the people the government should at least give 35 % to all counties Equally but wait they cannot do that because they want to embezzle funds
The Feel Good Effect Theory is very True
Bravo 👏 👏 👏
You are a very good educator God keep you in his ways.
As people comment on PLO's brilliance, I can't fail to also wonder the brilliance of CT Muga,that man is a deep thinker too. Luos are intelligent to be honest 😅
Intelligence has ethnicity Sir
Personally I struggle to find that in him
In fact, I always think he is the 'naive' one who is always thrown in to neutralise the brilliance of the other 2, the way radio stations fix comedians
I may be wrong regardless
Listening to the spice trio has been the best thing that happened to my adult life. The trio command and sobriety in topical issues in kenya is a helpful informed choice.
You have taken the words right out of my mouth. I admire his ability to think independently and see alternative views in every situations no matter the expertise of the speaker
Prof wat do u say about does who dn't gve way power
If Lumumba and Maraga runs for the highest office together, they will change kenya, at the moment, what we have opposition and those in power are just the same.
The country is better of ran by Economists than lawyers
@@eshiyosalat7211Why should choices be made between economists abd lawyers? Are those the only professional callings available? Should the presidency be a preserve of either of the two professions?
Who is maraga💩💩please don't make me vomit
@@eshiyosalat7211 and who are these economists currently in government? Gachagwa/Ruto?
@@mourice1669 Gashagwa knows nothing economics the guy was merely a D.o and a one term mp.
Very true what Prof. Lumumba say, he has described it very well, b/se people are still narrow minded, abit illitracy in them, egoistics, ignorants of the responsibility of what leadership is concerned. The seat can't make you think when you are not a sharp thinker, responsible.
Prof is right,but our biggest handicap is at the party electoral process. Majority of the people who ended up as MP's were assembled for their leaders lustful ambitions but not the mwananchi and the country.
Congratulations 👏 professor 👏
I wish presidency would rotate automatically to all different ethnic groups - just for 5 years to facilitate all groups lead without waiting for so long. Then we carry on the policies of the previous leader instead of always re-inventing the wheel in all matters covered in the 22 ministries, so policies SHOULD be made for common good for ALL.
Good wish. But not realistic.
Wake up from your dream😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣nkt
where can i get books written y professor lumumba ?
Same Kenyan (s) we praise him, same Kenyan [sic] who cannot elect him for the highest seat of leadership in a village comettee. Wajinga sisi.
Great episode!
Splendid
Correction PLO the Constituency Development Fund was a brain child of Engineer Karue then MP for Kipipiri long before the 2010 constitution. The good Engineer may have looked at the Ugandan version of devolution for inspiration. However, Martin Shikuku, he of the blessed memory, had way back in the eighties (or was it seventies) put up the Butere Constituency Development Fund with a monthly token of 10% from his then small Bunge salary. Karue's CDF had a smooth intro courtesy of late Oloo Aringo who helped to establish the Parliamentary Service Commission with own budget separate from the executive.
Former ol kalou mp.
Very well said by PLO lumumba on the state of nature.
When outside Kenya, PLO is a wonderful speaker
Back home, he gambles.
Justice prevails peace.
Unless electoral injustices are addressed, we shall never have peace let alone any reasonable devpt.
"UnschooledProffessor"! You look and sound much more as a perfectly schooled one😊. You've summarised it in the tidiest possible way.
This guy talks too much but I've never quite seen his actions. Always advocating for peace amidst injustice...sweep it all under the carpet... that's his idea of peace...that kind of reaction when something is wrong is what brought us here to begin with..what allowed for corruption to sit in the top office
my all time mentor ,PLO...Making sense.
Does raila has to place on negotiation table miili ya wakenya... seriously!!!😮😢😢all the time.... that has been hallmark of his political career
Government kills it's own through gunshot and you blame it on Raila.
You should be next on line to see the psychiatrist 😢😢😢
If you have not known that the right to picket and thus demonstration is constitutional then more pity to your person😢😢
@@rosekoboge9766does picketing involve destruction of property? It's a shame that we close our eyes not to see injustice in our sides. Yes the government has not managed the situation well.
You will soon be blaming Raila for your genetically related stupidity. Try and put a little sense into your arguments.
@@Wakereu On sabasaba day there was a peaceful demonstration.
The demos are peaceful until the goons in uniform set on the people.
It's their duty to provide security to property and demonstrators.
So they are the ones that stolen sheep and cut trees at Northlands.
Reasoning can easily be manipulated for some with skewed views.
@@rosekoboge9766 why cant he get into handshake negotiating table before 1 live is lost... this are his political brothers they have personal phone numbers of each other,... sickening strategy
Prof. Has enlightened me on how ethnicity is embedded in my country Kenya
Indeed, peace is necessary in our society.
I love this
I realized that Citi is as wise as PLO their conversation is top notch God BLess PLO and the entire crew of Spice FM
It's a fact the problem with our politics is not bad elections it's always going to be about" MTU WETU " I think people who are constitional experts should sit down and find a way every Tribe is represented in government through Nomination as compared to being elected
Rather borrow a leaf from our neighbors south of us.
But what is the point in appointing incompetence for the sake of accommodating every one. The problem in kenya is tribalism period and like racism it will never end
@@mourice1669 Is competence found only in some tribes? Wasn't 60 years of self-rule enough time for the Govt to ensure that adequate competencies are nurtured and encouraged to flourish in all communities?
Nigeria has its own problems, too, as the ex-president eluded to.
As one person said, there are some undercurrent workings that are not in the best interest of the populace.
We pray that the Spirit that hovered over the waters in the beginning and caused formlessnees, darkness, and emptiness to be removed and light and shape to come upon the earth; so may it be to Africa. May wholesomeness come to its people and land , as he also hovers over the minds of those who are called to lead this 'Great Continent'.
May Jehovah God bless Africa.
Great man
PLO Lumumba out here oozing wisdom
I love pro lumamba🎉
Africa we are blessed by God with PLO shame that Africa doesn't listen to him.
