As opposition supporters, we should not be naive, as to take the statements Aden Duale and others in the regime are making about our numbers lightly, or fail to challenge them because we fear being called tribal. You will find a guy supporting Duale’s propaganda, but when you state facts about our numbers based on verifiable data, the same guy dismisses you as tribal.
What they are doing is conditioning, so that they can implement their rigging scheme.
When they say Mount Kenya has only four million voters, or claim that Sifuna can only attract votes from Bukusus, when they dismiss Kamba and Kisii votes, they are doing more than arguing politics. They are trying to make Kenyans believe long before election day, that the opposition cannot possibly win.
Perception matters. If people accept it without question, it becomes easier to dismiss a result that does not reflect the will of voters with a simple line: “We told you they did not have the numbers.”
We must push back, firmly and with facts. Let us put the IEBC’s registered voter figures on the table whenever someone understates a region’s numbers. Let us also speak confidently about the visible, solid and loud support we are seeing across Mount Kenya, Western, Ukambani, Kisii, the Coast, Maasai land and beyond. The WANTAM call is reaching Kenyans from many communities.
And let us be clear that discussing voter numbers in different regions is not tribalism. More importantly, challenging false figures is necessary. Nobody should shame us into silence while they repeat claims meant to make our support look smaller than it is.
We have numbers. We have the right to talk about them. And when the time comes, every vote must be counted and accounted for.
No, you should be arrested you looter.
You squandered Kilifi county Na uyu dem mbaya Sana. And currently, Kilifi is among bottom 5 bottom barrel counties in Kenya. You should be ashamed of your age, of yourself, of your behaviour. May justice prevail one day.
If you’re easily incited to hate on fellow Africans, you also can be easily turned against your own neighbors, communities and tribes.
Politics of division doesn’t start and end with tribalism.
EVERY voter in Kenya’s IEBC register must be IDENTIFIABLE and VERIFIABLE. Over 7 million of the IEBC voters register records lack photographs and complete biometric information.
@IEBCKenya MUST subject those records to a transparent forensic audit and remove those proven to belong to deceased, duplicate, fictitious or OTHERWISE INELIGIBLE voters.
The integrity of the 2027 election depends on a clean, accurate and independently verifiable register. #ReKe #GetitDone #Rekebisha

Ruto Should Come out And Tell Us Why He Is Deducting Money From my Salary to Build Houses that He Sells at Profit but doesn't Share this profit with me and doesn't Give me the Houses He has Built with my Money, This Absurdity Needs to Come to an End #BetterCallSifuna.
The Nairobi Business Community’s July 2024 presser and today’s trader action over the KRA customs benchmark tell the same story from two different seats.
In July 2024, after the June 25 storming of Parliament, businessman Wilfred Kamau (pictured) and company stood in front of microphones wearing the “Nairobi Business Community” shirt and asked Gen Z to give Ruto time. They warned of “dire consequences” for Gen Z's who would continue protesting.
That was the official line: protests are legitimate until they close our shutters.
Fast-forward to 28 August 2026. Small-scale importers in Gikomba, Kamukunji and Nyamakima are the ones calling for a shutdown. The trigger is a 28% jump in the customs minimum benchmark on consolidated 40-foot containers — from KES 2.5M TO KES 3.2M. That is not an abstract Finance Bill line item; it is an EXTRA KES 700,000.00 per container that lands directly on the same traders who two years ago wanted the streets cleared so business could continue.
The inconsistency is not mysterious. When the tax hit was framed as a youth revolt against “the system,” the business lobby’s first instinct was order and patience. When the same fiscal pressure is applied through customs valuation that squeezes their own margins, patience expires and the shops close. Taxes do not distinguish between a Gen Z protester buying bread and a trader clearing a container of mitumba or electronics. Both are paying for the same revenue shortfall and the same recycled policy choices.
The July 2024 warning about protesting against Ruto was not wrong. Businesses closed and lost billions. That risk remains. A shutdown over a customs benchmark can still be hijacked. The difference is that the people now on the street are the same constituency that once asked everyone else to wait.
An independent view does not require choosing sides between “youth” and “business.” It requires noticing that the demand has not changed: lower, more predictable costs of doing business and a government that stops treating every fiscal gap as an opportunity to extract more from the same pockets. Raising the customs floor two years later only proves the point.
Give the government time, they said in 2024. Today the same community is saying the time is up — because this time the invoice arrived at their own door. That is the line worth watching, not the slogan on the shirt.
