@ArapTilingi Very commendable. In Japan, fire and earthquake drill is a must every term from kindergarten all the way to universities and even companies.

A Primary school teacher conducting a fire drill and providing basic safety tips using the small resources they have. Well done Mwalimu. As Parents let's also replicate this at home.

@_feloh_ Watagula. The sad state of affairs is that, nowadays, if you hold a position and are not using it to enrich yourself illegally, no one will respect you.

When President Ruto is constructing the Nithi Bridge, Rironi-Nakuru-Mau Summit Road, extension of the SGR from Naivasha to Malaba through Kisumu etcetera, some misguided Kenyans are saying that Kenya is headed to the wrong direction! What is wrong with these people?

@TimKipchumba This is devastating for the family and friends. I hope Sheila gets justice. Mutyo missing 🙏

[Tim Kipchumba @TimKipchumba]

I want to thank the Kenyan media that has continued to cover Sheila’s case.

In Australia, however, there has been what appears to be a near-total media blackout.

And I keep asking myself: why would the death of a 25-year-old Kenyan student, Straitht A student, one of my mentees - who left Kenya with so much promise. Raised $ for masters classes , who died on Sunday while at work in one of Australia’s leading apartment chains, Meriton Suites, not attract meaningful media attention in Sydney?

Is it possible that no human-interest journalist has come across the story? Is it a question of courage? Or has the PR machinery done its job so effectively that stories like these simply never make it into the public conversation?

What is the role of the media in the pursuit of justice and the larger common good?

What is life really like for Kenyans and Africans in the diaspora? Who speaks for minorities when tragedy strikes in a country that is not their own? Who asks the difficult questions when families thousands of kilometres away are searching for answers?

I have always held the belief that our Kenyan diaspora are among the modern-day heroes of our country.

I have consistently spoken up for this community because I understand the risks many take in pursuit of the same things we all seek here at home — careers, enterprise, opportunity, and a better future for their families. They pursue these dreams far from home, often in unfamiliar places, with limited support, carrying not only their own ambitions but also the hopes of entire families and communities.

Today, those sacrifices are reflected in the numbers.

In 2025, Kenyans abroad sent home more than KSh 1 trillion in remittances, making the diaspora Kenya’s single largest source of foreign exchange.

To put that in perspective, tea — our largest traditional export — earned approximately KSh 187 billion.

The Kenyan diaspora now brings in more foreign exchange than tea, coffee, and many of our traditional export sectors combined. They are paying school fees, building homes, financing businesses, supporting healthcare, and sustaining livelihoods in every corner of our country.

When we speak of Kenya’s economic heroes, we rightly celebrate our farmers, entrepreneurs, workers, and professionals at home. But we must also celebrate the Kenyan working double shifts in Dallas, driving trucks in Perth, caring for the elderly in London, building software in Toronto, running businesses in Dubai, studying in Sydney, and striving in countless cities across the world.

Their remittances are not just money transfers.

They are acts of faith in Kenya.

They are acts of courage.

And because of that, I promise to be a strong friend of the Kenyan diaspora when I get an opportunity to serve in Parliament in 2027.

I will treat the Diaspora and Young People as my third county.

Hold me to it.

Justice for Sheila.

@IanECox Very necessary. It’s infuriating to see this when floods and falling buildings are killing people. Kanjos and others need to be disciplined ASAP.

@randomworldke @BaronGreen_Back This is sad. Kanjos have excessive powers that needs to be clipped. They’re a huge source of corruption.
