Diaspora Honoring Mwalimu Professor Ngugi Wa Thiong'o https://t.co/lBLuirtREq via @YouTube
Grateful for the opportunity on behalf of @kenya_usa and Planning Committee to award Prof Ngugi the People’s Nobel Prize in Literature" and lifetime achievement award. @DrRoselynAkombe
Yesterday, I held an online consultative meeting with members of the Kenyan diaspora in the United States ahead of my planned visit there beginning on September 17.
I assured them that if elected President, I will enforce the rule of law without exception, and curb the looting of public resources. I also outlined the four goals for my trip: diaspora consultation for my manifesto, advancing diaspora voting and registration, building strategic partnerships around the campaign's five pillars, and mobilizing people-driven campaign financing through authorized channels in line with the law.
The Kenyan diaspora raised concerns about the marginalization of diaspora voters, citing difficult voter registration processes and limited access to polling stations.
In response, I pledged to address their concerns on voter registration through the recently formed People's Forum for Electoral Preparedness.

My sincerest condolences to the families who have suffered the loss of loved ones due to the unprecedented flooding in Nairobi city. It is my hope that the National government, in collaboration with the Nairobi County government, will take the lead in resolving the city's drainage issues once and for all. The National government should declare a national disaster in Nairobi and take the lead in providing compensation to affected families and businesses for their significant losses. This is the kind of responsive action that a government should take on behalf of its citizens.@SakajaJohnson@WilliamsRuto@ntvkenya@citizentvkenya@DrRoselynAkombe@RealMatiangi@dkmaraga@JerotichSeii
Well put @RealMatiangi. Please advocate for Kenyans in diaspora also to be accorded the same right by @IEBC. We are waiting like we are an afterthought!
Let us not sit back and hope for change. Let us be the change. It starts with something as simple, and as powerful, as registering to vote.
Do it for yourself. Do it for Kenya.
Be the change you want to see, register to vote now.

On behalf of the Kenyan diaspora in the USA @kenya_usa we register our uttermost dissatisfaction with @IEBCKenya with the planned registration of Kenyans to vote in upcoming 2027 election excluding diaspora again. Kenyan diaspora apparently is only good with remittances only!! Our right to vote is still being infringed upon. Our fight will continue until the Supreme Court ruling of 2015 that directed IEBC to ensure diaspora Kenyan citizens right to vote is guaranteed! VIVA!!

SAD indeed and yet they are the ones bearing the brunt of runaway corruption, injustice and an inept government! They are being used to defeat their cause. @Kenya_usa
Hello compatriots as we watch with horror the brutal abductions of GenZ and other human rights activists in Kenya; we honor those who left a mark in the second liberation and rights we enjoy today. This month has been particularly painful as we lost one of our heroes @NgugiWaThiongo_

There is no bigger honor than being celebrated by ordinary citizens.
Although Mwalimu Ngugi was not awarded any State honors, even by @uonbi where he was a founding member of the Literature Department, we ordinary Kenyans, celebrated him and showered him with love.
The court has ruled on my petition, HCCHRPET/E004/2022, challenging the unconstitutionality of Regulation 37 of the Elections (Registration of Voters) Regulations, 2012.
While the court has upheld the regulation requiring diaspora Kenyans to register with a passport, I firmly believe this decision fails to uphold the equality guaranteed by our Constitution.
This regulation unjustly discriminates against our citizens abroad, limiting their fundamental right to participate in our democracy.
This ruling does not mark the end of our journey. I am resolute in my belief that every Kenyan, regardless of where they reside, shouls have an equal voice in shaping our nations future. I will be pursuing an appeal to ensure that the rights of our diaspora are respected and upheld.
The fight for justice and equality continues. We will not relent until all Kenyans are treated with the dignity they deserve.
Sad to be witnessing a resurgence of impunity and blatant violations of citizen rights in East Africa! We will not relent and rule of law and justice will prevail!
WHY are some folks vexed — anguished — about my decision to accept the appointment by H.E President William Ruto as Senior Advisor on Constitutional Affairs. I’ve spent my entire life in the law at the highest levels, especially in the United States. I can’t think of a better way to serve my native Kenya. I am sure some of those upset would readily accept the appointment. Chill, folks, and let those who are qualified, serve the country. I believe my expertise will be of good service to the President and the country.
