Osoro is very thing wrong Kenya is
That mistake of minster is joke it there for the world to
12:52
Osoro so arrogant 😮
Start with pilot projects to see if they work before subjecting the entire nation to mediocrity. Eg, SHA should have had pilot projects, the new education system and all these new ideas that are failing
Mr. Osoro you might you might smile when other people are grieving Sir do you know the Government you are advocating has made many Kenyans loose the meaning of living and many of them have committed suicide. ….
How laughable is this- that the government is currently functional when as of mid January 800,000 children were not in school because the CBC system lacks a clear structure. Look at the CDF- millions pumped. No schools, no hospitals, no roads, yet you are working? Look at the ASAL regions in the country. People are dying of hunger. You cannot rely on foreign aid to save YOUR PEOPLE yet you collect over half of our taxes to pay for loans we do not see in effect. You cannot pay a governor close to 1M yet there are people dying of hunger- others have no hospitals in their counties, particularly those with MPs under KK. How exactly do you come out to shout the government is working yet the state of the economy has deteriorated since 2022?
great work being done by the government of Kenya, despite the challenges.
Silvernas is one of the thieves n liars.. there are functions State abductions
He can't cut the hand that feeds him n his wife.
Thanks God to Bring our Poeple Britsh and America to Kenya . That's their own Country we love ❤️ them and also we brave no one can jock with that Country when you are ther. We l❤love you take care with your Secnd Country.
Onsoro is very rude.
According to Onsoro, the youth is suffering because they are lazy, period!
OSORO IS A SLAVE OF THE UDA REGIME. HE CAN NEVER BE REALISTIC IN FEAR OF HIS UDA MASTERS.
HUYO NI
❤WANTAM❤

But what I think honestly Africa is insane in politics. What we Afrikaans citizens we should be Siri working on togetherness all of us, no matter which country no matter which city no matter where you come from no matter what tribe we have to find each other and be together and fight for our rights if it’s to make agreement with organizations outside in in countries, which are well organized with humanity I mean like Europe, United States somehow at least know the democracy and human rights can be accepted so we can arrange a powerful artist by individuals because governments are all the time denying so we should do that together and help each other organize something where that these people has to be arrested and taking somewhere like in the colonial times what they used to do to Afrikaans where fighting for their rights this time have to be opposite that’s what I can ask. The criminals have to be arrested and taking out somewhere so others will get afraid and they have to do right. Sorry my English is not perfect. I hope there’s someone who can understand this. Please take it ahead. Push it push it push it, please Ugandan suffering very much suffering very much painful inside my heart and my brain is going down, but I’m fighting please.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
😮 We AND COUNTRIES CRUELTY FOR YEARS ARE MESSED UP YOUTHS ARE MESSED UP YOUTHS ARE JOBLESS IN WHOLE WORLD COMMON SENSE INVOLVED DEATHS FROM YOUTHS ARE DIEING!
Unfortunately as long as the leadership is human it will bring with it corruption. The poor are also corrupt.
Governments need to create opportunities for it's citizens also Governments need to be innovative as well as citizens to develop a country . Create training institution for youth
Why did BBC give liars misrepresenting the deaths of Gen Zs airtime to address us?
😂
What's the progress with government 😢
Weldan karya we need person laek yu
Osoro ne'nyuma
That baseless laugh from osoro while serious social political issues are discussed is clear sign of insanity, a mental disorder that pronounces itself more in kaongo Ruto's personality. Its sad that most of the people kenyans voted for are psychopathathic in nature.
Don't dear to lies people that there is no problems on . Maybe for your and your Family and the people those works with Ruto. Do not killer Kenys.
Same same on you man don't dear the man is killer may be he is the one anders them . Some they are died. He is Creamero.
Thanks John for your nice Questions you are asking our Chilldrens. True questions tell that man not to speak lies same on him.
Where are they going to get money to start business. You are Ruto is not going to stay like stone. Thiefs . With Ruto.
Kenyans just need full independence. It's like we've never moved from the home guard/reserves situation. Our leaders still pay homage to their masters
Vampire hands
Mr osoro dont put yourself on shame abduction is deferent from arrest
Goons in the government in the name of Jesus what they have done to the people of Kenya may the thunderstorm come from heaven to strike kk government 😢😢
Martha giving us answers now?….she was with Raila,who gave us Ruto…
The Goveis adding more challenges….
silvanus is a proud fool
OSORO IS A PARLIAMENTALY WORSHIP LEADER
WE SHALL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUIT
GOD HELP US
It's disastrous to have such kind of politicians .May God deliver Kenyans from.making poor decisions…State sanctioned abductions was tye lowest Kenya has faced. All security organs involved must be held accountable and those sanctioning the arrests must face rule of law.. we cannot forget
WANTAM
Sisi ndio SIFUNA
A politician who's completely out of touch with reality.
The arrogance of this Osoro OMG.
Government designs curriculum, if the engineer cannot fix a bulb…where is the gap?…Government has a role to ensure quality of education is offered. Government cannot escape the responsibility.
Listening to Osoro is sad. He has nothing in between his ears. The only thing Osoro know is defend the regime of Ruto at all costs.
The State of the Nation
We must ask ourselves: Where is this country headed? It is a failure of governance when organised groups can block a national highway for hours with total impunity. The police had prior notice of the rally; their fundamental duty was to maintain the peace and ensure the safety of both the participants and the public. By allowing 'goonism' to dictate the flow of life, the government is effectively abdicated its responsibility. We are witnessing a dangerous slide into anarchy, where the rule of law is being sacrificed for political theatre.
Anger raising wantam
Who is this conducting this panel, if he's a Israeli,a Briton or American, they're on a mission make my words on a mission ? This how mossad, cia and others gather not evidence but read mind on/for tomorrow's planning.
Osoro you don't know what you're saying, the government is mandated to protect people and their property, mr Osoro what the work a police who wears a mask or who covers their faces and using unmarked vehicles?
Gafameniti representative 😁Wtf
M7 is the big problem
He is part of the problem
how we miss sifuna in this panel. Osoro's seat could have been fire😢
