In the government of the people that we shall soon build, we will erect a national monument bearing the names of these selfless comrades who gave their lives simply because they believed Kenya could be better. They marched not for power or privilege, but for a country that works for the good of its people. A country where justice is not reserved for the highest bidder, where politicians compete through ideas instead of hiring goons to terrorise fellow citizens, where public policy creates jobs, lowers the cost of doing business, shifts government spending from consumption to development, fixes our education system, and guarantees every child a fair chance in life. It will stand as a permanent reminder that the freedoms and future we inherit were paid for by ordinary Kenyans who asked for nothing more than a functioning society.
It's not only about Matatu fuel prices;
-Food prices will rise
-Manufacturing costs rise
-Distribution costs rise
-Construction costs
-Electricity cost also
-Education costs
Then other indirect like inflation, reduced purchasing power, jobs ect!

Getting Ruto out of power can’t and must not be the only agenda. It’s an agenda, but not and cannot be the only one.
The MAIN AGENDA must be the complete structural and institutional overhaul and transformation of the incurably defective colonial system which imposes, protects and sustains charlatans like Ruto in power. The system which was DESIGNED to subjugate Africans to servitude and to perpetuate impunity of the few over the majority.
Unity of purpose must be based on a common progressive, revolutionary and transformative ideology, vision and program of action; not mere sloganeering.
Anyone who aspires to unite with Fred Matiang’i, Uhuru Kenyatta, Babu Patel and other CRIMINALS who have maimed, tortured and murdered innocent Kenyans is part and parcel of the rotten system Kenyans must overhaul and transform.
Those shouting that the only thing that matters is to remove Ruto from power without ARTICULATING their vision and UNVEILING their transformative programs only want to INHERIT the same rotten and incurably defective system so that they continue perpetuating impunity—just like Moi, Kibaki, Uhuru Kenyatta and Ruto did (is doing).
Kenyans must reject the recycling of imperialist and Zionist lackeys whose primary agenda is the continuation of the neocolonial anti-people state for their self aggrandizement!
I don’t understand why it’s so difficult for people to distinguish short term victory from long term transformation. A united opposition may indeed remove Ruto, and politically, that is attractive. But once in power, many of the same actors will likely reproduce the same culture, incentives, and failures we have seen before. History does not repeat, but it often rhymes. What then appears to be change becomes little more than a rotation of elites and an illusion of progress.
The harder path is to pause, think deeply, and design a sustainable future for Kenya beyond personalities, tribal arithmetic, and coalitions of convenience. It may not be as simple as uniting a few politically connected thieves with ethnic voting blocs, but it is the only path capable of fundamentally changing the trajectory of the country.
If we choose that route, future generations will not just remember that we removed a president. They will remember that we altered the course of Kenya’s history and perhaps inspired a new political imagination across Africa.
@edwinsifuna hope you think about this more.
The illusion of replacing leaders
2002: “We just need to replace Moi.”
Nobody cared about fixing the system.
2007: “We just need to replace Kibaki.”
No talk of systemic change
2022: “We just need to replace Uhuru.”
Infact vote Ruto to punish Uhuru
2027: “We just need to replace Ruto.”
Same illusion. Anyone but Ruto!
2032: “We just need to replace whoever”
A broken system eventually reproduces the same outcomes, no matter who sits at the top.
Can we discuss how we can reform the broken system atleast?
