PLO LUMUMBA: Kenya's Problem Is Our Obsession With The Presidency 

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

A PLO interview is always a wealth of insight. Thank you for this one

I follow this guy in all platforms,, He deserves a seat in all African countries or president of United Africa

PLO, we are privileged to have a man of your type and full of wisdom in our country. The brightest man in our country.

Always great to listen to this great man PLO Lumumba.....

Professor PLO Lumumba has spoken well. The Supreme Court voted 7 - 0 to uphold the IEBC announcement on the presidential elections. Opinion polls may have suggested that RAO should have won. Our gut feelings may have suggested that RAO should have won. But we have to respect our institutions.

Spice fm is growing like wild fires keep it up guys always listen from South Wales

PLO much salute for the wisdom you have 🎉

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.

PLO is a national treasure

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

Some of the few professors l can listen to all day

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 😭😭😭

This is a solid, mature and applicable discussion that can be harnessed in many African nations. Profound thoughts from PLO impressive!

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!!?

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?

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.

Eii. I need a glass of water. Too much wisdom here!

Mature talk. This's where you sit down and learn. I always look forward to this kind of intellect and dialogue.

But prof, how can we have a robust parliament when defection is rife and opposition members are being bought like njugu. ?

I never get enough of this guy PLO

I'm always not tied to hear from this professor and man of God! be blessed.

AWESOME TALK WITH PROF!

The Greatest of all times. PLO

PLO,justice is greater than peace...we don't need to debate that ...where there's justice, peace align itself to it.

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 realized that Citi is as wise as PLO their conversation is top notch God BLess PLO and the entire crew of Spice FM

Wow, what a great discussion, you should have the Prof on more often. Thanks.

My professor ❤..i love your speechs outside kenya alot..africa love you

"Peaceprenuers" never fail to disappoint, they scare us with with peace so that we accept injustice...

It is good to listen to you, Sir.

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.

It's my first time watching your video and I love it!!

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.

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.

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

❤❤❤ loved 🥰 hearing from PLO GOD BLESS.

I am a Kenyan but what I see in Kenya really makes me sick, everyday is just corruption,politics and so on.

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 ?

Very intelligent PLO.

Respect should flow out from leaders and politicians first not the other way round like you said.

@ situation room Thanks for inviting PLO Lumumba to explore the geography and structures of our foolishness.

I can't believe Kenyans rejected this great man when he was at the helm of EACC

You finally did it,you brought the chosen one

Am kayigamba from Republic of Rwanda I like you Lumumba

Infact I thought by creating Counties the purpose was to distribute power to the people and strengthen power locally and stop making Central Government

Professor PLO is Kenya's precious treasure Wise ,intelligent and very creative. I love this man .His mind is extraordinary.

Awesome conversation.

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.

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

Knowledge is in PLO Lumumba's brains, PLO Lumumba is the man who should be the president of Kenya.

I have one question: What if our politicians are a representative sample of the rest of us?

Very interesting and insightful conversations. I admire the brilliance of PLO

What a brilliant conversation so informative and thought provoking .Well done

Good Prof

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.

Am happy that in Kenya we still have smart minds...thanks professor.

Phantasmagoria to the Fullest

where can i get books written y professor lumumba ?

Big minds I LOVE THE KNOWLEDGE AND POLITENCE AND CALMNESS OF PLO 100%....I SALUTE U SIRS AND MADAM

Very lively conversation on the state of Kenya and good analysis of how to solve this issues.

The Feel Good Effect Theory is very True

❤

PLO is WRONG! The problem is not " OBSESSION WITH PRESIDENCY". It is " POOR GOVERNANCE"

Prof. Has enlightened me on how ethnicity is embedded in my country Kenya

Indeed, peace is necessary in our society.

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.

the bomas draft was hijacked...this is the most important convetsation.kenya must have

Love this content by the media

Bravo 👏 👏 👏

Thank u, that was awesome,!!!

Does raila has to place on negotiation table miili ya wakenya... seriously!!!😮😢😢all the time.... that has been hallmark of his political career

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

PLO we need u as the advissor in chief 2 the precidency; position reserved 4 Artony general......

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.

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.

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.

Kenyans MUST here this.....

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 😅

Very well said by PLO lumumba on the state of nature.

Africa we are blessed by God with PLO shame that Africa doesn't listen to him.

Great episode!

The victor still singing the war songs!!!

my all time mentor ,PLO...Making sense.

God bless PLO. Please keep on telling Kenyan politicians the truth.

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

This is so sad to hear that marginalized people don't understand what they have the things we need......

PLO Lumumba out here oozing wisdom

I love this

He writes before he raising a public complaint. I like that very much.

Civil learning experience is need in country. Writing letters on problems in nation.

I love pro lumamba🎉

There was nothing to debate in parliament PLO the numbers were one sided towards a particular goal not in favour of the citizens but to show who is in authority.

Please connect me with the professor. I would like to meet him.

PLO should be the first president of the Federation of African States. His ideas are very progressive.

Great man

Lumumba wants to look at the constitution while he opposed the BBI.

That’s great talking points by PLO Kenya people must wake up and follow the tribalism is really and must be addressed by creating constitutional office for each tribesmen!not one or two tribes take it All! But bwana mashamba ufisadi daima alliance Ruto mtapeli hatoshi kwa rais yeye akili ndogo!

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.

It's the courtship part of it for me 😂😂😂😂
