David Maraga: Fellow Kenyans, this is my personal pledge to you. I will not steal from you. I will not allow my family or friends to steal from you... If we succeed in confronting impunity and recovering stolen assets, we will reduce the cost of living.
KISUMU-BUSIA HIGHWAY: HOW MANY MORE LIVES MUST WE LOSE?
For years, Kisumu-Busia road has been a source of pain and frustration for thousands of motorists, passengers, traders, and families who rely on it every day. What should be a critical transport and trade corridor has become one of the most dangerous roads in our region.
The highway passes through Kisumu, Vihiga, Siaya, and Busia counties. It serves millions of people and carries a significant share of trade between Kenya and our East African neighbours. Yet despite its importance, large sections of the road remain riddled with potholes, narrow, poor road markings, inadequate signage, and dangerous bottlenecks that continue to put lives at risk.
Every week, we hear of another tragic accident. Families lose loved ones. Breadwinners never make it home. Children are left without parents. Vehicles are damaged, businesses disrupted, and communities forced to bear the heavy cost of a problem that can and should be fixed.
These are not unavoidable tragedies. Many of these accidents are the direct result of poor road conditions and delayed intervention by @KeNHAKenya the agency responsible for maintaining this highway.
The Constitution guarantees every Kenyan the right to life and security. Government agencies entrusted with public infrastructure have a duty to ensure that our roads are safe for those who use them. That duty cannot be ignored.
I therefore call upon the Ministry of Roads and Transport @TransportKE@Roads_KE and the Kenya National Highways Authority (@KeNHAKenya) to take immediate action and provide clear answers to the people of Western Kenya.
Specifically, I demand:
1) Immediate repair of dangerous potholes and damaged sections along the entire Kisumu-Busia corridor.
2) A clear and publicly available roadmap for the upgrading and expansion of this highway, including the dualing of identified blackspots and high-traffic market centres.
3) Urgent implementation of road safety measures, including proper signage, visible road markings, pedestrian crossings, and traffic calming measures in school and market areas.
The people of Kisumu, Vihiga, Siaya, and Busia deserve safe roads. They deserve leadership that responds to their concerns before lives are lost, not after.
Enough of the promises. Enough of the delays. Enough of the needless deaths. The time for action is now.
Kenya loses an estimated 3 billion shillings daily to corruption. Driven by reckless borrowing, public debt has surged to nearly 13 trillion shillings, crippling private enterprise and consuming 48% of the FY 2026/27 budget for repayments.
By securitizing future tax revenues, the regime is unconstitutionally mortgaging the future of Kenyan youth. We must halt this economic exploitation and restore financial accountability.

MOH has failed to cook Ebola case, almost 3 weeks now and they've already finished Trump's money.
My truck friend from Congo just told me what he's seeing there is fear, nothing like Ebola.
Laikipia quarantine facility should be turned to be a hospital now!!!!
We are set for the Day, the genesis of UKOMBOZI wa Kenya at Ufungamano, Nairobi.
HE. David Maraga is set to deliver a STATE OF NATION speech this morning.
Ordinary Kenyans are being asked, once again, to tighten belts that are already at breaking point, not to build a shared future, but to sustain a fiscal architecture that increasingly feels self-serving and detached from lived reality.
The 2026/27 budget does not reflect a people-first philosophy; it reflects a system calibrated to protect political convenience while outsourcing the cost to households already strained by inflation, job insecurity, and rising basic costs.
A budget that prioritises expenditure over empathy, and obligation over accountability, cannot credibly call itself national in character.
Kenyans are not an unlimited source of revenue for political excess.
First, they will ignore you,
Then, they will mock you,
Then, they will laugh at you,
Then, they will betray you,
Then, they will fight you,
Then, YOU WIN.
Keep going. Refuse to be distracted.
Edwin Sifuna: Hawa ndugu zetu kina Riggy G wakienda pekee yao mimi najua watashinda Ruto lakini watamshinda saa nane. Sisi wana Linda Mwananchi tukienda pekee yetu tutashinda Ruto lakini tutamshinda saa nane. Lakini wananchi wanatuambia hii kitu wanataka tumalize saa kumi na mbili asubuhi!
