After MPs criticized the Finance Bill, 2026 in public, 308 of the 348 MNA APPROVED it. 186 avoided Parliament, 122 VOTED for the Bill. 40 stayed in the Chambers and VOTED per their conscience. 2027 is next year. Kenyans will hold relevant political parties/MPs accountable.
Exactly two years ago, a generation rose. They were young Kenyans armed not with weapons but smartphones, the national flag, and the Constitution. They were the Gen-Zs pushing for better governance and accountability.

The story of NdidI Nyoro and the MPs who missed parliament on the Finance Bill voting day should teach us that not participating in an election has the same consequences as voting for bad leaders and bills.
The latest propaganda being pushed around UDA and 2027 is very simple.
They want Kenyans to believe that the election is already gone, that Ruto will rig, that voting will not matter, that registration is useless and that the people should enter 2027 already defeated in their minds.
That is why you are seeing this “they will rig” line being sponsored and amplified everywhere, including by sections of the media that have become very friendly to this regime.
NTV itself has carried the framing of UDA leaders allegedly plotting to rig 2027, showing how loud this narrative has become in public conversation.
To be honest, the optics of serious, countrywide rigging are too heavy for this regime.
This is a government that cannot repair potholes, cannot manage fuel prices, cannot manage schools, cannot manage hospitals, cannot manage salaries, cannot even explain simple taxes without creating anger.
You really believe the same confused regime has the intelligence, discipline, secrecy and technical sophistication to manage a clean nationwide rigging operation without being caught?
Rigging a presidential election is not like bribing a few brokers in a hotel or manipulating a small party nomination. A national election has agents, polling stations, forms, constituency tallying centres, observers, media, screenshots, live streams, parallel tallies and millions of angry citizens watching every number. The moment Kenyans realize even one vote does not tally, this country will enter a crisis bigger than anything this regime can control.
That is why I believe this “he will rig anyway” chorus is not just a warning.
It is psychological warfare meant to kill voter registration, kill turnout and create apathy. It is also meant to make young people say, “Why vote if they will steal it?” That is exactly where they want you mentally.
The real answer is not to stay home but massive registration, massive turnout, agents in every polling station, parallel tallying, civic vigilance and zero fear.
Elections are not stolen from people who are awake, organized and watching every vote. Elections are stolen from people who were discouraged before the first ballot was even cast.
So don’t fall for the propaganda. The vote still matters, registration matters, turnout mattes and polling station vigilance matters.
Francis Atwoli has single handedly reduced the stature of the labour movement in Kenya. It’s time young Kenyans who understand the plight of the Kenyan worker takes up this space and foster strong and effective labour relations in the country….
Gloria Orwoba is a funny & weird politician.
She was nominated by UDA & was Ruto's best friend.
She was happy Gen Zs were being teargassed, abducted & advocated for Gen Zs to shot on the foot in 2024.
She also suggested that X should be restricted in Kenya.
Then her time came & she was kicked out.
She then joined one term brigade. While at it, her heart is still in UDA & William Ruto. Because what was she going to do at the parliament?
Same case with Millicent Omanga. The body is in WANTAM but the heart still loves Ruto. If Ruto called her today & gave her some tender worth hundred of millions, she would go back to supporting Ruto & UDA.
In 2027, we must prevent a lot of politicians from getting leadership positions because they are never genuine & don't have the interests of the common mwananchi at heart.
