I will serve as the 7th President of Kenya following President @WilliamsRuto tenure as the 5th and 6th. Let others tire themselves chasing the moment; I am focused on the future.
Let me say a few things about Sifuna’s party.
That party is NOT new.
It was actually registered in October 2025 under the name The Economic Pillars Alliance (TEPA).
What Sifuna did was simply acquire the already-existing party, with the help of former President Uhuru Kenyatta, and change its name to The Equitable Party.
So let’s not be sold the story that Sifuna has suddenly built a new political party from scratch.
The party existed before him. He only took it over, rebranded it and is now presenting it as a new political vehicle.

Today, they are launching one of Kenya’s biggest white elephants: the Dangote Kenya refinery in Lamu.
A 700,000-barrel-a-day plant that Kenyans may end up paying for long after the speeches are over.
I have asked one question for a week. Still, no honest answer from UDA.
Where will this refinery get 700,000 barrels of crude every day?
Turkana is not the answer. Lokichar oil starts at about 20,000 barrels a day. Even if it rises to 50,000, that is still a tiny fraction of what this plant needs.
Stop saying, “Our oil will feed it.” It will not.
Uganda’s crude is already going through Tanzania. That route was chosen, and a refinery is on the cards. South Sudan’s oil already has a shorter and cheaper path to Port Sudan. No serious buyer will send it the long way through Kenya out of goodwill once the war is over.
So this refinery must import almost all its crude.
That is when the excuses begin.
They say Nigeria imports too. Nigeria produces oil and sits on the Atlantic with a huge market, it only imports a little. Kenya does not.
They say India imports too. India is next to Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf. Kenya is far. Distance costs money. That is not politics. That is arithmetic. They can import and still sell at market prices.
They say China and Japan import too. Those countries have industries that consume the fuel. Kenya is not industrialized at that scale. Importing for them makes economic sense; they aren't importing to sell again.
They say a refinery also produces other products. Those are usually by-products. They do not save a plant that cannot lock in cheap, reliable crude at 700,000 barrels a day.
This is how a white elephant works.
Politicians get the ceremony.
Contractors get the contracts.
Land dealers get paid.
Investors get protection.
Kenyans get the bill when the project starts making losses.
Some people say, “If Dangote is putting money in, it must work.”
That is naive.
He is not putting unprotected personal cash on the table. He is using investor money, debt, and a deal structured so that if the project collapses, Kenya becomes the backstop.
He can recover and walk.
Taxpayers stay.
A refinery is not a monument. It is a machine. It lives or dies on cheap crude, cheap transport, and a market that can absorb the product at a profit.
Kenya does not have those three things at this scale.
I am not asking for noise. I am asking for proof.
Show the 700,000 barrels.
Show where they will come from.
Show the price.
Show who pays if it fails.
If they cannot show that, this is not industrialization.
It is a very expensive photograph.
And if all you have is “you hate progress,” or insults, you are clueless.
Do you know why Kalonzo is not lifting a finger?
He is going to replace Mudavadi as Foreign CS
Natembeya ni mtu wa Uhuru DAMU. Si ako Linda, sponsor allegations are 189% TRUE
Vita za Linda are deeper than you think
I tried to act neutral, but wacha niseme
Mnachezwa!
Ona huyu, @AokoOtieno_
Haukuona mbogi mzima kwa command centre after state house rumors that SKM had joined them.
You are just cherry picking events!
Kumbe you are just average
Mobilize votes kwanza na uchae mdomo.

@AlinurMohamed_
Nlijua tu wewe ni fala wa Kawaida.
First, he trained using guns while your were a todler.
Second, come I train you on shooting ranges, this is a hobby for some of us.
Assistant Chief tribalist, Mr Ndindi Nyoro, what did you say again?
That NHIF had a higher monthly collection than SHA? Like seriously!
When did you suddenly realise that it was wrong to securitize RMLF? Yet as budget chair you appropriated it's proceeds to your constituency in disproportionate scales.
Spare the country your hypocrisy.
When greed & marginalisation is normalised, then equity & fair distribution becomes such a bitter pill to swallow.
@HonMoses_Kuria,
Sijui uko mlevi mpaka uelewi the 2027 wave.
Its william RUTO AGAINST THE PEOPE.
Even if Rigg G handshakes WSR, he will move alone.
chanuka wewe!!
Rigathi Gachagua broke the news on the demise of Johanna Ng'eno Arap Ngong. The family wasn't aware of the helicopter crash. This is a heartless fellow. We welcome him to Emurua Dikirr but we will never forget.
WHAT WE MUST ACHIEVE FOR ALL KENYANS.
We take this opportunity to thank all Kenyans who watched us yesterday. Many thanks for your overwhelming feedback. We are truly grateful.
Having participated in the previous national campaigns, I learnt important lessons on leadership. The main one is that campaigning is much easier. Governance needs more thought and is more engaging.
In the long run, what gets fulfilled is what has been well thought out and planned. We have taken a lot of time to look at most of the sectors: what we must do immediately after elections and what to be done later.
Below are some of the things that can be done without adding any additional burden of taxes to Kenyans.
1. Education.
A national commission like TSC to harmonise all ECDE teachers. To have their salaries harmonised nationwide. This will give all our Brothers and Sisters a chance to transfer without forfeiting their jobs. It will also be possible to negotiate on the national platform.
Have Free basic education by starting with Free Secondary Education from January 2028. The amount needed will come from NG CDF – Ksh 10 Bn, Counties' equitable share – Ksh 10 Bn, and National Government – Ksh 15 Bn. To cover all the 9,500 Senior Secondaries and all the 3.5M learners. The amount will also subsidise boarders with Ksh 10,000.
To open up the transfer of teachers for those who have served less than 5 years in their 1st posting.
Waive all tax arrears owed by Public Universities. The government to facilitate payment of statutory dues and debts.
A proper model of making sure all qualified university students get a chance. Is being looked at. We require an additional 80 billion Ksh. We will be working on an inclusive model.
2. Health.
To have the system that manages healthcare owned by the government.
On funding, there is a sticky funding gap. The action is to halve the amount of NSSF contribution and redirect around Ksh 40 Bn to healthcare. One can only enjoy pension when they are healthy and alive.
This is to help in taking care of chronic illnesses almost in totality. Many families are ravaged by bills.
Part of the redirected budget to handle upgrading of facilities and provision of supplies. To also have model institutions. We bring India to Kenya to serve Kenya and the region.
To have the Kenyan Doctors and Healthcare Workers Commission to handle employment and placement of healthcare workers. Kenya cannot continue to handle this element at the county level.
More personnel to be hired from the enhanced resources.
3. Jobs and creation of employment opportunities.
This is the major problem we face that calls for concerted effort.
Almost everything we do must be part of solving this problem.
Every CS to have a target on jobs created in their sectors.
Data to be released per Month or quarterly on net jobs created.
Grow the economy from all levels. Primary, secondary, and service. To be handled below.
4. Manufacturing – for Job creation and Economic growth.
Power cost must be low for this to happen. It must also be sufficient.
▪ Liberalise Power sector completely.
▪ Leverage on Kengen assets. With the right valuation. We can get close to 150 Bn for the 35% stake. Reinvest all the money into power generation.
▪ Halt IPPs. Unless they are publicly done.
Revamp our industrial policy with specific products. Reporting must be done every month to the head of State. Like what General Park did in the 1960s.
Have most parts of the Coastal counties like Mombasa, Kwale, Lamu and others designated as SEZ. Produce for export. We must create a Shenzhen that is regional and global-oriented.
Politics and way forward.
• We have joined the People's Party.
• All members have agreed that the People's Party joins the opposition immediately.
Thank you very much.
We are African and After is our Business..
Riggy G will be in Nakuru this week,Matiang’i in Bomet and Sifuna in Homa Bay this weekend. Then where is Kalonzo that you want Sifuna to deputize him?
Presidency doesn’t need laziness. Sifuna the 6th
