Open Letter to Edwin “Wakenya” Sifuna: We See What’s Happening

Sifuna, we need to talk…

Not about your politics. Not about your platform. About the company you’re starting to keep.

There’s a pattern forming, and we Kenyans are watching.

People who spent years switching sides, dodging accountability, and rebranding every election cycle are suddenly finding their way into your circle. Not because they believe in what you stand for but because proximity to you is useful cover.

Let’s call it what it is: integrity laundering.

When someone with a track record of scandal, betrayal, or convenient amnesia starts showing up next to you, smiling for the cameras, nodding along at your rallies, they’re not endorsing your vision. They’re borrowing your credibility.

And here’s the thing: credibility doesn’t transfer. It gets diluted.

Every recycled politician who gets a seat at your table is a signal to the people who trusted you first. It says: maybe principles are negotiable after all. Maybe this was never different from the rest.

We didn’t back you because you were the safest bet. We backed you because you weren’t supposed to need the same old faces to survive politically.

So here’s our ask, plainly:

Choose your circle like your legacy depends on it, because it does.

The people who stood with you when it cost them something are worth more than the ones showing up now that it’s convenient.

Kenya doesn’t need another leader surrounded by yesterday’s compromises wearing today’s rhetoric.

We’re watching who you let in. Choose wisely.

“First World” cannot just be a political slogan. Let’s examine one indicator.

Reliability and efficiency of something as fundamental as electricity.

System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) measures the total time the average customer spends without power each year:

• Kenya: 7,236 minutes (121 hours)
• Nairobi: 270 minutes
• Kuala Lumpur: 20.3 minutes
• Singapore: 15.6 seconds
• Tokyo: 3 seconds

System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) measures how often the average customer experiences outages each year:

• Kenya: 44.1 interruptions
• Nairobi: 11.5 interruptions
• Kuala Lumpur: 0.96 interruptions
• Tokyo: 0.12 interruptions (roughly once every eight years)
• Singapore: 0.006 interruptions (roughly once every 167 years)

We also continue to lose a significant share of the electricity we generate through technical inefficiencies and commercial losses:

• Kenya: 22 to 24%
• Malaysia: 7 to 9%
• Japan: 4 to 5%
• Singapore: 2 to 3%

Those losses are ultimately paid for by consumers through higher tariffs and by the economy through reduced competitiveness.

The difference is also reflected in electricity consumption per person, a useful proxy for industrialisation and economic activity:

• Kenya: 172 kWh/person/year
• Malaysia: 4,577 kWh
• Japan: 7,245 kWh
• Singapore: 9,800 kWh

Before we compare ourselves with the world’s most advanced economies, we should first aim to consistently outperform the global average.

Reasonable medium-term benchmarks would be:

• SAIDI: below 700 minutes (8 to 15 hours) per customer per year
• SAIFI: below 10 interruptions per customer per year
• Transmission and distribution losses: below 8%
• Electricity consumption: above 3,600 kWh per person per year

These are not abstract engineering metrics. They determine whether factories can run competitively, whether hospitals and data centres can operate reliably, whether investors choose Kenya over competing economies, and ultimately whether households receive affordable, dependable electricity.

Becoming a first-world economy is not about declaring ambition but rather relentlessly improving measurable indicators like these until they become ordinary. The grid is one of the clearest report cards of a nation’s economic capability.

@pksalasya Kasongo has built mansions yet economically we are doing badly. H.E all the way

[Nelson Amenya @amenya_nelson]

Made my first AI executive assistant with Claude code. @claudeai

It can read, send and triage my emails
View and create calendar events
Create and share Google docs
Give me a morning briefing and I can add as many bash scripts for different automations.

And yes I can use claude app to chat, it just read some reports on email from linked to google sheets and sent a summary to my email for my next meeting. Now I just book meetings like “find a suitable time on my calendar for this event and send them invites”
