This evening, I have dispatched Senator John Methu, Hon. Kanini Keega and benga maestro Samuel Muchoki alias Samidoh to London ahead of my visit.
They will prepare and coordinate my visit to the United Kingdom shortly with our diaspora community in London.
Our party, DCP PARTY, remains firmly committed to engaging the diaspora community as part of the broad stakeholders and Kenyans; their views, as espoused in our philosophy will inform our blueprint ahead of August 10th 2027 General Elections.

KWS continues to strengthen wildlife conservation leadership and community engagement through Company Commandersโ Courses, Non-Commissioned Officersโ Promotional Courses and Community Scouts training, all aligned to the KWS Strategic Plan 2024โ2028.
The Director General, Prof. @ErustusKanga , yesterday opened the programmes at the Kenya Wildlife Service Law Enforcement Academy (KWS LEA), a Centre of Excellence for conservation and law enforcement training, bringing together KWS officers and Community Scouts. The Community Scouts are drawn from Bahari Hai, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy, Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, Tsavo Trust and the Rhino Ark.
Prof. Kanga emphasized that well-trained officers and Community Scouts remain central to addressing emerging conservation challenges, including wildlife crime, human-wildlife conflict, and climate change pressures, while strengthening collaboration with local communities in protecting Kenyaโs wildlife heritage.
He further underscored that continuous investment in people remains the strongest foundation for securing conservation gains, noting that an institution that trains, empowers, and advances its personnel builds not only capacity, but also loyalty, resilience, and long-term sustainability in conservation leadership.

They have promised us projects that do not exist. They have sold us illusions and empty promises.
Without an ounce of shame, they now boast of projects in neighboring countriesโprojects they themselves have no real knowledge or clarity about.
Uongo umevuka border.
Our greatest mistake was trusting them. They have shown they lack the competence to govern effectively.
The people of Ngโararia shopping centre have told me that we can no longer gamble with individuals who are clueless and whose primary goal is selfish interests at the expense of Kenyans.
But on 10th August 2027, together with Kenyans of goodwill, we will reset the course of our nation and correct all the wrongs.
Asanteni sana, Ngโararia, Kandara Constituency, Murangโa County, for your warm reception.

Did you know ๐๐๐ญ๐ฐ๐ข๐ซ๐ขโ๐ฌ story began with a rescue deep in the wild of Nairobi National Park?
Back in 2016, KWS rangers on patrol came across a heart-breaking sight; a young buffalo calf, barely a month old, trapped in thick mud and left behind by her herd, who could not pull her out.
Alone and too weak to survive on her own, she was rescued and brought to the Nairobi Animal Orphanage, where animal keepers stepped in to nurture and care for her.
She was later named ๐๐๐ญ๐ฐ๐ข๐ซ๐ข after the daughter of the ranger who rescued her, a lasting reminder of the compassion behind her survival story.
Today, Gatwiri continues to thrive under dedicated care that includes:
โก๏ธ Lucerne & hay
โก๏ธ Supplement feeds including comb maize & commercial concentrates
โก๏ธ Salt licks for nutrition
โก๏ธ Routine vaccination & disease prevention

Today I joined the family of Senator Richard Onyonka in mourning the passing of their matriarch, Mama Teresia Nyaboke.
Mama Teresia was a dedicated mother and family pillar who raised strong and distinguished children, among them Senator Onyonka, who continues to be a leading voice in Kenyaโs Senate, the Linda Mwananchi Movement and the country at large.
May her soul rest in eternal peace, and may God grant comfort and strength to the entire family during this difficult time.

FRIDAY PROFILES
John Koech
One afternoon in Nakuru, after a graduation ceremony at Egerton University, Cabinet Minister John Koech headed to President Daniel arap Moiโs Kabarak home for the traditional post-event luncheon. But at the gate, he was turned away.
Humiliated and furious, Koech drove straight to the Nation Media Group bureau in Nakuru and drafted a resignation letter. The following morning, just as the country was starting to buzz, he called a press conference to retract his letter. Nobody knows what transpired overnight but Koech went back to work having learned the bitter lesson that when you were appointed by Moi, you served at his pleasure. And you stopped serving at his pleasure, not yours.
That dramatic episode perfectly captured the complicated political life of John Koech: brilliant, independent-minded, loyal at times, but never fully comfortable playing politics by the rules of the day.
Born in 1946 in Olbutyo, Chepalungu, Koechโs journey began in the classroom. After studying at Tenwek High School, he graduated from Makerere University with a degree in Economics in 1972. He worked as a teacher and later as an education officer before plunging into politics during the turbulent transition from the Jomo Kenyatta era to the Moi presidency.
He first lost the Chepalungu parliamentary race in 1974, but by 1979, with Moi now firmly in power, Koech won the seat and quickly emerged as one of the South Riftโs rising political stars. Education became his calling card. Roads, schools, and electrification projects followed him across Chepalungu and the wider South Rift.
But in Moiโs inner circle, loyalty mattered as much as performance.
Koechโs independent streak often placed him on a collision course with powerful figures in Government. In 1988, he was appointed Minister for Public Works, only to be dismissed barely a year later. Allies claimed he had blocked influential individuals from exploiting his ministry for personal gain. After the sacking, his relationship with KANU deteriorated rapidly.
By 1990, he was expelled from the ruling party altogether, a political death sentence in the one-party era. His parliamentary seat was declared vacant and he was pushed into the cold.
Yet Koech was not finished.
After being politically rehabilitated, he reclaimed his Chepalungu seat in the 1992 elections and eventually returned to Cabinet in the late 1990s. But even then, his diplomatic style and refusal to embrace confrontational politics made him an uneasy fit within Moiโs hardline political machinery.
Outside politics, Koech remained deeply invested in development and education. He is remembered for helping establish Moi Siongiroi Girls Secondary School and pushing for rural electrification in Chepalungu. Unlike many politicians of his era, he openly criticised the culture of political handouts, insisting that true leadership meant empowering people rather than buying loyalty.
John Koechโs story is one of ambition, defiance, exile, and return. A story of a man who thrived in Moiโs system, yet never entirely belonged to it.
