Fred Matiang’i: I think I will be able to make a difference. I am the real deal; look no further. The focus for me, if I got the opportunity, is to restore the trust of the people in government so that the government can be believed again. It’s Government to Gangsters, in fact, sometimes I call it G to R, Government to Ruto. It cannot be G to G. When you raise questions, it is shrouded and covered in PR, propaganda, and lies #CitizenSundayLive
Fred Matiang’i: If I were in government, I would be worried today. The amount of information that is being shared by public officers and government officials who are completely sick, tired, and frustrated by the way things are being done. When things happen the way they are happening, the Kenyan worker is the one paying the highest price in all these. The pay slip means nothing. The demonstrations are and should force the government to be much more accountable and transparent, and look for solutions #CitizenSundayLive
Fred Matiang’i: I believe people who say police are working with goons, and I tell them that is because of the failure and dysfunctional nature of the security sector. I know Kanja is a very good policeman, in fact, probably one of the best police officers this country has ever had. I know Noordin. We worked together; he was the DPP at that time. These are people who, if left to work on their own, would deliver a safe, clear, and clean Kenya. You can see clearly that some of the work these people are trying to do is either being undermined or interfered with. I am prepared to give a serious government to this country #CitizenSundayLive
Fred Matiang’i: There are things that I hear of, and I feel like I would collapse from anger and frustration. How can we go back to a time when we were saying police officers do not have fuel, and therefore, they cannot move around? The medical cover for the police was effective. I would cancel this one if I were president today and reinstate the one we had before so that officers feel well taken care of. There is over-ethnicization and over-politicization of deployment in the security sector. If the Inspector General is left to work on its own without political interference and all manner of nonsense, he will contain this business of goons #CitizenSundayLive
Fred Matiang’i: I am conscientiously seeking the opportunity to lead this country seriously. I promise Kenyans I will not make excuses, I will not wake up in the morning and make excuses for not doing what I was supposed to do. Kenya’s problem is governance. The problem of this country is management. I propose, and this is my view, that this country needs a fixer. I am Mr. Fix It, look no further #CitizenSundayLive
@HillaryGondi I admire what Dr. Matiang'i accomplished while serving in public office. My question is: what are his policies on the economy, public debt management, and will he abolish SHA in elected president in 2027.
Baba they have woken up today to mock your Legacy while swearing in your name. You do not have to be an English Professor to understand what Baba wanted. It’s there in black and white. Progress reports to him every two months and a final report to the Public last Saturday. Now they are putting words in a dead man’s mouth. Give us a signal, Jakom!
Rest in peace, Baba Raila Odinga. Kenya has lost a true leader, a fighter for democracy, and a symbol of resilience. Your legacy will live on in our hearts and history.
