My heart is heavy as I extend my deepest condolences to the Winkelpleck family after the tragic loss of their three children in the Gilgil accident. We mourn with them as a nation, even as we confront the painful reality that road accidents are rising again.

When I served as PS Transport from 2015 to 2017, road safety was a key priority. I remember the Karai accident in 2016 that claimed 48 lives and working closely with then Interior CS Joseph Nkaissery to prevent a repeat. We identified and acted on major blackspots including Nithi Bridge, Karai, Sachangwan, Salgaa, Kinungi, Kikopey, Kaptagat, Chepsiror, Emali, Sultan Hamud, Kiboko, Mtito Andei, Athi River, and Mariakani, through signage, bumps, guard rails, and erecting the Salgaa barrier.

I urge Kenyans to slow down and drive responsibly, and I call on enforcement officers to firmly enforce the law so we can make our roads safe again.

[Evans J Nyagah @Evansnyagah]

27 people dead in 5 days on our roads is extremely disturbing. Its possible to achieve safety on our roads. @ntsa_kenya

[Evans J Nyagah @Evansnyagah]

The road carnage over the last 4 weeks is heartbreaking.
Over 64 lives lost & hundreds injured in less than 30 days a pointer to a broken road safety system. @ntsa_kenya @NPSOfficial_KE: It is time to tighten surveillance & enforcement on our roads

The most dangerous thing a leader can do is succeed, by every traditional metric, while slowly eroding the one thing that actually matters:

Human connection.

You can crush every KPI, and still be building a house of cards.

Dr. Julius Kiano remains consequential 2 decades after his passing. The manifold learning institutions established in his name across Murang'a County symbolize his indelible impact, particularly in shaping education. A profound tribute is owed to this venerated son of Murang'a

[SokoAnalyst @SokoAnalyst]

DR JULIUS GIKONYO KIANO: The Scolar who dreamed Kenya into independence.

Dr. Julius Gikonyo Kiano remains one of the most brilliant and visionary figures in Kenya’s political history, a man whose intellect, humility, and patriotism helped shape the nation’s early years after independence. Born in 1926 in Kangema, Murang’a County, Kiano rose from humble beginnings in the Central Highlands to become one of the first Kenyans to earn a Ph.D., setting a record that made him a national inspiration at a time when very few Africans had advanced formal education.

His academic journey was nothing short of extraordinary. After excelling in local schools, he went abroad and studied at the University of California, Berkeley, where he earned his doctorate in Political Science. This made him one of the first Kenyans, and indeed one of the first Africans, to attain that level of education. His time in the United States exposed him to global ideas of democracy, governance, and social justice, which he later sought to apply in Kenya’s liberation struggle and post-independence development.

When he returned to Kenya in the 1950s, Dr. Kiano became an outspoken advocate for independence and African self-governance. He joined the Kenya African National Union (KANU) and quickly emerged as one of its leading intellectuals, often seen as the bridge between the Western-educated elite and the grassroots nationalist movement. His eloquence, calm demeanor, and sense of purpose made him one of the most respected voices during the country’s transition from colonial rule to self-rule.

After independence in 1963, President Jomo Kenyatta appointed him Minister for Commerce and Industry, and later Minister for Cooperative Development. In these portfolios, Dr. Kiano played a pivotal role in Kenya’s economic Africanization, ensuring that Africans, who had long been excluded from commerce, could now own and manage businesses. He was also a champion of the cooperative movement, believing that unity and shared ownership would help ordinary Kenyans build wealth and independence. Under his guidance, cooperative societies flourished across the country, empowering farmers, small traders, and rural communities to pool resources and prosper collectively.

Despite his high status in government, Dr. Kiano was known for his humility and deep love for his people. He frequently returned to Murang’a, where he supported community projects, educational programs, and youth empowerment initiatives. He believed strongly that education was the key to breaking poverty and social inequality, a conviction shaped by his own life journey from a rural village to the global academic stage.

In Parliament, he was regarded as one of the most articulate and principled leaders. His speeches were marked by depth, reason, and foresight, often focusing on Kenya’s long-term growth rather than short-term politics. Even when political rivalries intensified in the 1970s, he maintained his dignity and focus on development, earning admiration from both allies and opponents.

Dr. Julius Gikonyo Kiano’s legacy is that of an intellectual patriot ,a man who used his mind, education, and influence to lay the foundation for Kenya’s economic and social transformation. He embodied the values of service, integrity, and nation-building at a time when Kenya was defining its identity. Long after his time in government, his name continues to evoke respect, especially in Murang’a and among those who value education and honest leadership.

He will forever be remembered as one of the great sons of Kenya,a scholar, statesman, and nation-builder whose vision for a prosperous, self-reliant Kenya still echoes through the generations.

Last week alone Kenya lost over 100 people in road accidents. This is terribly sad.

Now then, prevention is better than cure. What do you think needs to be done? Call [phone] or reply... let's talk! #MainaAndKingangi
