Leadership is about integrity, honesty, and service to the people. True leaders should be sincere in their words and actions, allowing their work and the results they deliver to speak for themselves.
Let leaders serve without malice or unnecessary distractions. There is no honour in misleading the public for political gain. The people deserve truth, transparency, and leadership that is defined by action and results.
With public universities already burdened by billions of shillings in debt, delayed government funding, and unpaid obligations, President Ruto's promise of 100% government funded university education from September is ambitious but will require significant new funding and parliamentary approval to become a reality.
Until the necessary budget is allocated and universities actually receive the money, the announcement remains a policy promise rather than a guaranteed outcome.
Good morning
Those who attacked Edwin Sifuna are yet to arrested. The cops are not the issue, it’s Kipchumba Murkomen and Ruto trying to suppress freedom and democracy.

Albert Ojwang’s death has to be one of the most painful injustices we’ve witnessed. CCTV shows a healthy young man taken into custody, then rushed out dead. Police officers caught on video, yet impunity reigns. How many more lives before real accountability? 😔 ni mbaya
Arrest Eliud Lagat NOW.
Arrest Eliud Lagat NOW.
Arrest Eliud Lagat NOW.
Imagine a regular citizen sending a hit squad, getting named in a confession, and still sleeping at home. Unthinkable, right?
So why is Eliud Lagat still free?
Mukhwana confessed that the order was given by him to discipline Albert.
Arrest Eliud Lagat NOW.
Double standards must end today. Enough is enough!
Riggy G: Douglas Kanja, the Inspector General of Police, has a fake degree.
KTN: How do you know?
Riggy G: William Ruto told me so.

OCS Taalam will either die mysteriously before the conclusion of his case or the evidence will be found inconclusive or the case will drag for a decade and fade. The system will protect itself as always.
The promise that university will now be free for all sounds like progress but when it comes months to an election, after years of complaints about a broken funding model, Kenyans are entitled to ask, is this policy or politics?
For years, universities have been running on deficits, students have been locked out or saddled with loans, and the new student‑centred funding model has left families choosing courses they can afford rather than those they qualify for. Half of public universities are already potentially insolvent, and HELB can fund barely a fifth of first‑years under current allocations.
If the State could not sustainably fund the existing model, how does it suddenly find resources to fully fund every KUCCPS‑placed student without a clear legal framework, costed plan and honest conversation about trade‑offs in health, housing and other services? A constitutional government must not dangle free rights as campaign bait while hiding the fiscal maths from the very citizens expected to pay the bill.
I stand with students, parents, lecturers and workers who want real reform, not last‑minute promises. We demand transparent costings tabled in Parliament, a credible financing law, and guarantees that any move towards universal higher‑education funding will not collapse already struggling institutions or deepen inequality between those in public and private universities.
Free, quality university education is a legitimate aspiration but it must be built openly, sustainably and with citizens at the centre, not announced from a rally podium as a political surprise. Kenyans deserve more than applause lines, they deserve a plan.
