I saw someone ask, โWhat exactly has Edwin Sifuna done in the Senate?โ
Fair question.
Because in Kenyan politics, too many leaders are loud on TV and silent in Parliament.
So I checked the record.
So far, Sifuna has tabled 3 Bills and pushed 3 major people-centred motions:
1. Sports (Amendment) Bill
To reform sports governance, improve accountability in sports bodies, and protect athletes from mismanagement.
2. Energy (Amendment) Bill
To address high electricity costs, strengthen regulation in the energy sector, and push for fairer pricing for consumers.
3. Office of the County Printer Bill
To institutionalize county publication of laws and notices, making county governments more transparent and accountable.
And his motions?
1. Abolishing parking fees in hospitals, malls and airports
Because access to hospitals and essential services should not come with punitive charges.
2. Inquiry into deputy governorsโ welfare and protection
To address the growing trend of political frustration, humiliation and sidelining of deputy governors.
3. Electricity cost reduction reforms
To push government and regulators to lower the cost of power for households and businesses.
On top of that, he has been active in Senate oversight committees, questioning governors, including Johnson Sakaja, on accountability. He has also submitted several statements in the Senate. And much more is on the way.
This is why some of us support Sifuna.
Not because we are blind.
Not because of party loyalty.
But because we checked the receipts.
Before dismissing him, show us your MP or Senatorโs record first.

Early this morning, Amboseli National Park, Kenya - and indeed the world - lost a true icon. Craig, the legendary super tusker famed for its immense, ground-sweeping tusks and calm, dignified presence, passed on at the age of 54.
Born in January 1972 to the great matriarch Cassandra of the CB family, Craig lived a life that few elephants ever do.
Craig was one of the last remaining super tuskers in Africa - a rare class of bull elephants whose two tusks weigh over 45 kilograms (100 lbs) each. Fewer than a handful remain today, making him a living monument to Africaโs natural heritage.
He fathered a number of calves, ensuring that his powerful bloodline and gentle character live on across generations.
Beyond its extraordinary tusks, Craig was deeply loved for its remarkably calm nature. He appeared to understand its place in the world - often pausing patiently as visitors photographed and filmed him. Widely documented and admired globally, he became a true ambassador of Amboseli and a symbol of what successful conservation looks like.
In 2021, Craig was proudly adopted by East African Breweries Limited (EABL) through the Tusker brand, reflecting his worldwide appeal. His long life and survival to such maturity were made possible through decades of dedicated protection by Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), working in close collaboration with conservation partners and the local community.
Continuous monitoring, anti-poaching efforts, habitat protection, and community stewardship ensured that Craig lived freely and safely - demonstrating what collective commitment to wildlife conservation can achieve.
Drop a memory of Craig down below and let's celebrate its legacy. #TunzaMaliYako
I donโt think thereโs any politician currently who can be jailed for 6 years for the good of the country. They would rather be bought. Thatโs why Raila was Raila. He stood for what he believed in.
