Open Letter to Edwin “Wakenya” Sifuna: We See What’s Happening
Sifuna, we need to talk…
Not about your politics. Not about your platform. About the company you’re starting to keep.
There’s a pattern forming, and we Kenyans are watching.
People who spent years switching sides, dodging accountability, and rebranding every election cycle are suddenly finding their way into your circle. Not because they believe in what you stand for but because proximity to you is useful cover.
Let’s call it what it is: integrity laundering.
When someone with a track record of scandal, betrayal, or convenient amnesia starts showing up next to you, smiling for the cameras, nodding along at your rallies, they’re not endorsing your vision. They’re borrowing your credibility.
And here’s the thing: credibility doesn’t transfer. It gets diluted.
Every recycled politician who gets a seat at your table is a signal to the people who trusted you first. It says: maybe principles are negotiable after all. Maybe this was never different from the rest.
We didn’t back you because you were the safest bet. We backed you because you weren’t supposed to need the same old faces to survive politically.
So here’s our ask, plainly:
Choose your circle like your legacy depends on it, because it does.
The people who stood with you when it cost them something are worth more than the ones showing up now that it’s convenient.
Kenya doesn’t need another leader surrounded by yesterday’s compromises wearing today’s rhetoric.
We’re watching who you let in. Choose wisely.
Let’s address the elephant in the room because I feel like many people don’t want to have this conversation😳
So the plan is to vote for Sifuna simply because he can help get Ruto out? As long as Ruto is gone, then we’re good? Haven’t we been here before? Isn’t that exactly how Ruto benefited from the anger against Uhuru&Raila ?
And before that, wasn’t Uhuru’s victory also driven in part by a wave of sympathy over the ICC cases and the feeling among many supporters that it was time to stand with him and push back against those they believed were targeting him? Look at how Uhuru’s administration left this country? Haven’t we already seen where voting out of anger or emotion, instead of demanding better leadership, leaves this country?
The next election cannot just be about who is most likely to defeat Ruto. It has to be about who has a clear plan to deal with corruption, protect the Constitution, end abductions and extrajudicial killings, fix our broken healthcare system, reform education, create jobs, reduce the cost of living, tackle public debt, restore independent institutions and ensure there is real accountability in government.
I understand the thinking. The common enemy is Ruto, and the enemy of my enemy quickly becomes a friend. But I refuse to believe that after everything this country has been through, Kenyans are ready to settle for people with serious questions hanging over them simply because they are the fastest route to removing one man from power. A perfect example, Aisha Jumwa😂
We cannot keep voting against someone. At some point, we have to start voting for something. Otherwise, we’ll keep changing faces while the system that keeps failing Kenyans remains exactly the same.
This day last year, Aisha Jumwa humiliated Sifuna by grabbing his microphone and blocked him from addressing crowd in Kilifi while she was still in Goverment. Apparently Sifuna is the head of the team she has joined.

@lynn_ngugi1 Imagine @FaithOdhiambo8 and @CrystalAsige sitting in the same room with this filthy corrupt murderer, ati they are birds of a feather! Really!!!! We either change Kenya, or leave it alone for another generation. We cant joke like this.
The slogan is “Linda Mwananchi.”
The new sign in is Aisha Jumwa😳 What a shame!! Nini haswa mna linda?
You cannot build a movement around accountability, integrity and putting Kenyans first, then turn around and recruit the very politicians who represent everything people have been complaining about for years.
If this is the standard, then “Linda Mwananchi” risks becoming just another political rebrand with a catchy slogan. Also @orengo_james this is beneath you!
This is the same Aisha Jumwa who has spent years at the center of political controversy, changing political camps, facing persistent integrity questions, and becoming a symbol of the kind of politics many Kenyans say they want to leave behind. At a time when people are demanding accountability and a complete break from the old political culture, having her in your camp sends the exact opposite message🚶🏿♀️ kwendeni uko
Someone planted tomatoes in the national park and sprayed them with enough cyanide to kill fully grown Elephants. They think we are 53 Million idiots. 😒🙂↕️
Ruto’s State of the Nation address in a nutshell: big promises, selective statistics, recycled excuses, and a completely different reality from what Kenyans are experiencing every day. 🤣🤣🤣
Now Ruto wants you to be part of a “national conversation.” He wants public participation. He wants to hear from you.😂😂
He even said young people will be at the centre of this conversation. Which young people? The ones your administration killed? The ones you and your Interior CS were ready to shoot in the legs? The ones who can’t even freely tell you where you’re going wrong because they’re afraid of being abducted?
Funny how quickly things change. During the height of the 2024 Finance Bill protests, the very people he now wants to engage were also dismissed as criminals. Today, we’re suddenly important enough to be consulted. The irony is impossible to miss. All over sudden Ruto has realized you the people have the POWER🙌🏾
Yesterday’s speech told us everything we needed to know. This man has no plan.
Just fake strength, teleprompters and A million lies🚶🏿♀️WANTAM!!
President @WilliamsRuto trying to deflect piling political pressure for his removal in 2027, recreate a historical momemt for himself and set the agenda but... Who told him this is the time for new imagination? With El Nino beckoning and a year to elections? We are not boarding.
