@DantizerCFC Wait for Ruto's agenda and vote for him.2022 we were having the best agendas but here we are now.Who you are electing matters alot than agendas @BravinYuri
Edwin Sifuna knows game, he knows how to be consistent. He’s the talk of the town on weekends and weekdays.
He’s being discussed in kalenjin Radio shows on how he’s a big threat to Ruto.
Kenya kwisha supporters expected Edwin Sifuna to do what Ruto does, make grand promises that border on outright lies… “In 6 months time, I will give free diapers, free phone calls, free internet, build 1,000 dams and water pans, create millions of jobs overnight, build tens of stadiums across the country etc.”
Sifuna chose a different path. Instead of promising miracles, he is promising to fix what is broken in our country by building a government that listens to its people, respects the rule of law, upholds democratic values, inspires investor confidence, creates opportunity and dignity for all and protects the life and rights of every Kenyan (“We will not kill our young people, no one will be arrested for tweeting, we will not teargas churches”)
As he aptly puts it, “We in Linda Mwananchi are software engineers.”
In other words, instead of making unrealistic promises about the hardware, he will first fix the software that runs the system.
The first commitment is to cut wasteful public expenditure and eliminate extravagance in government. The savings should then be used to ease the burden on ordinary Kenyans, particularly by reducing the burden of taxation.
Sifuna acknowledges that prosperity does not begin with grand campaign promises, but with good governance. He also readily acknowledges that no leader can be an expert in everything or know everything. That is why he is committed to listening to the people, and also to experts, professionals and practitioners across different sectors to develop practical solutions that will move Kenya forward.
Affordable housing should be actually in urban areas to fix the challenges of housing. In rural areas , let them be constructed in schools and colleges/ universities. We don’t need affordable housing in villages. On this @edwinsifuna is on point and am persuaded to align with his school of thought. @citizentvkenya@YvonneOkwara
Sifuna’s priorities in the first 100 days:
1. To cut public spending and wastage in government .
2. Reduce taxation and give relief to salaried workers.
3. Return the country to a democratic state
I am. SOLD💯
One of the qualities that stood out during H.E. Edwin WaKenya Sifuna's interview was his humility and appreciation of collective leadership. When asked a question on public finance, economy and debt, he did not pretend to be an expert in a field outside his legal specialization.
Instead, he candidly acknowledged that governing a nation requires competent professionals and affirmed that Linda Mwananchi is assembling a team of experts to develop THE PLATFORM, a comprehensive policy blueprint anchored on social market economic principles to guide Kenya's economic recovery and transformation. That is the mark of a leader who understands that lasting solutions come from evidence, expertise and teamwork.
Kenya's greatest challenge today is not a shortage of ideas but a leadership culture that often appears to centralise decision-making at the expense of professional advice. The difficulties witnessed in programmes such as the university funding model, SHA, affordable housing, and other government initiatives have raised public concerns about the need for broader consultation, stronger technical input, and policies that reflect the realities facing ordinary Kenyans.
Sifuna's vision is different: a government that empowers institutions, respects meritocracy, listens to experts within the public service and places the voices and priorities of wananchi at the centre of policy-making. The future Kenya deserves is one where leadership listens before it acts, consults before it decides, and delivers solutions that improve the lives of its people rather than imposing policies disconnected from their daily realities. @edwinsifuna@LindaMwananchi_

Hapo kwa young people working in the fields they trained for is an important conversation Kenyans need to have. @edwinsifuna is right.
We can't appoint directors of education who are trained doctors and then wonder why the education sector struggles.
Edwin Sifuna: For President Ruto the success of SHA is how many people have registered. We are telling him that this is not a national registration bureau. The success of a healthcare scheme should be the number of people accessing services and to what extent

One significant takeaway from Sifuna's interview was his composure. Despite the overwhelming public and digital support urging him to consider a presidential bid, he did not come across as overexcited or politically egocentric. Instead, he remained calm, measured, and patient, responding thoughtfully even when faced with difficult questions. Whether one agrees with his politics or not, that level of restraint and discipline tells you he is in the kitchen, and when fully cooked, he will be very hot to handle!
Well measured and objective interview by Sifuna. Knew how to approach weighty questions and gave very valuable responses. The interview in itself was quite tricky as far as the prevailing rise in politics is concerned, but Sifuna dealt with every issue directly and calmly. He threw political responses away and chose the leadership responses. Listened to him the whole time, and he's turning out to be a very formidable candidate, no doubt about that!
@limukii_f Prehumble of the constitution is almost enough. Ruto was having a manifesto like Spiro advertising ,but 97 % is not done.Again you seem uneducated fool.

Sifuna is giving measured, intelligent responses to challenging questions. Doesn't erase or attempt to run away from pertinent issues
"Where are the women in your lineup? We have women, but we also acknowledge that we haven't done enough as politicians to encourage more women to participate.
That's why we're trying to break even financial barriers to demonstrate you don't need billions to run for president" (paraphrased).
