One thing you have to give Edwin Sifuna is that he works very hard.
You will notice that he is almost always in the Senate, even when the chamber is nearly empty, actively participating in debates and carrying out his legislative responsibilities.
The same commitment is evident on the campaign trail. Almost every weekend, he is in a different corner of the country with Linda Mwananchi, holding massive rallies, engaging Kenyans, listening to them and inviting them to own his vision.
This reminds me of the first time I met Uhuru Kenyatta in 2012, shortly after I started working for TNA. As I introduced myself, I confidently told him that the presidency was his for the taking. “Hii usha chukua,” I said.
He smiled and replied, “We can’t take anything for granted. We have to go to every part of this country and work for every vote.”
Watching Sifuna today, I am reminded of that same philosophy. He is not taking anything for granted. He is putting in the work, travelling across the country, meeting people where they are and working for every single vote.
Tupatane Trans Nzoia na Bungoma next weekend.
Attending a funds drive at AIC Kithyoko Township, Masinga Sub-County, Machakos County, alongside fellow leaders.
The event unites leaders in supporting the church and pushing local development forward. Real progress happens when we put community first, beyond politics.
Tukimaliza kuabolish women rep positions,iebc needs to reduce the number of constituency from 290 to atleast 180.
Kuna shughuli inahitaji revolution !!!!
Babu Owino and I first made contact in 2023, after both of us survived trumped-up charges by the state following the Finance Bill protests.
Since then we have occasionally met to break bread and talk about the country’s politics.
Earlier this year, as conversations about his possible run for Nairobi governor grew stronger, I decided to ask him directly what he thought about it, and what he would do differently if he took charge of the county.
I expected a short response. Instead, Babu opened his laptop and took me through a full presentation. He had already studied the county in detail, the essential services that are failing, what residents complain about the most, and which areas need urgent intervention. From there, he walked me through the solutions he would prioritise if given the chance to lead Nairobi.
I won’t go into the specifics, because that is his to present to the people of Nairobi when the time comes. But I left that meeting very impressed. Yes, there has been hype around his potential candidacy, and he has not officially declared. But Babu has already done the homework. He is not just preparing to campaign, but has clearly thought through how to deliver real results for the people and businesses of this city.
It reminded me of the words in Habakkuk 2:2:
“Write down the vision and make it plain on tablets.”
Babu has already written his vision clearly, and if the moment comes, I look forward to seeing how he brings it to life for the people of Nairobi.
Yesterday I watched a report on KTN about the journalist who died in a pub, and it really disturbed me.
We must be extremely careful with what we drink. Fake alcohol is everywhere, and many people don’t even know the risks they’re facing.
I honestly wish we had enough support to take random samples of alcohol to proper labs for testing. The dangers are becoming too many.
From what I saw in the video, and with the little medical understanding I have, the signs suggest his drink may have been spiked or was heavily adulterated
We can’t prove it, but the possibility is real.
Please, take care of yourselves.
No drink is worth your life.
May he rest in peace.
@LarryMadowo What do these third-world nations even want in the USA? Instead of flocking to the USA, they should fix their own countries. I fully support this move—Africa doesn’t need sympathy trips abroad; Africans must rise up and build Africa themselves.
