@sholard_mancity Every docket this guy takes seems to come with scandals. When he was a minister of sijui what what hapo nyuma, that's when blackouts used to happen often and subsequent need to sell JKIA to Adani. Now when he got into this ministry all of a sudden there's a rise in goons all over
David Maraga: If you give me the privilege of leading this country, I will dedicate my presidency to dismantling the culture of impunity... a civilised government is one which obeys the law.
I'm a funeral director. Nineteen years. You'd think after that long, very little would surprise you. You're wrong.
Last year a father called me after losing his wife in a car accident. Gone instantly. He had a request I'd never heard before.
"I want my seven-year-old twins to see her before the funeral." I hesitated.
Most families shield children from that. His voice cracked. "They keep asking when Mommy is coming home. They still think this is temporary.
I don't know how to help them understand." I spent hours preparing her. More carefully than usual. Not because the work was different.
Because the visitors were. I've prepared thousands of people over the years. That day felt different.
When the twins arrived, they climbed onto a small step stool beside their mother's casket.
The little girl reached for her hand first. Pulled back slightly. "She's cold." Their father knelt beside them. Fighting tears. "Yes, sweetheart.
“However, I don’t want 10 years now; I want us to agree on a five-year plan. If successful, add five more. If I fail, let us get a new person [as president]”
-Deputy President William Ruto
Hata yeye alisema ni Wantam.
This habit of lecturing Kenyans that no president has ruled this country for one term, so Uliam has to rule for two terms, is a very terrible entitlement. Kenyans don't owe anyone two terms. You are allowed to be president as long as we choose to. If we say half-term, so be it.
At this point kama bado unasupport Ruto, Gachagua, Kalonzo, Matiangi, Uhuru etc, then you haven't learnt anything and you have a pattern recognition problem. These people don't hate each other. They are brothers in crime.
If you are authentic, then Maraga is the answer.
For the sake of this Nation’s unity and prosperity, please make David Maraga the president in 2027.
I assure you, you will not regret that decision because if you don't, we will be back to the same issues.
Let us meet in 2028 here and see if you learnt or you didn't.
Harry Truman once said: “The only thing new in the world is the history you do not know.”
Fellow Kenyans, our crisis did not begin yesterday.
The looting. The illegal debt. The betrayal of the Constitution. The collapse of public services. The silence of career politicians. These are old scripts repeated by leaders who believe Kenyans forget quickly.
They believe another scandal will trend. Another distraction will come. Another funeral, another handshake, another coalition, another slogan.
Meanwhile, you pay more taxes for debts you never approved and never benefited from.
Between 2014 and 2024, Kenya borrowed Sh9.11 trillion. Only Sh2.57 trillion received proper parliamentary approval. The remaining Sh6.54 trillion is odious debt, unconstitutional borrowing forced onto the backs of struggling citizens.
This is why food prices rise while wages stagnate. This is why hospitals lack medicine while billions disappear. This is why schools decline while politicians grow richer. This is why young people graduate into hopelessness.
And while Kenya bleeds, legacy politicians remain silent. Many are not fighting to fix the system. They are fighting to inherit it.
They criminalize protesters. They weaponize police. They reward political loyalists with advisory jobs funded by taxpayers. They protect corruption networks while ordinary Kenyans suffer.
We go to court because the Constitution is the last line of defense between the people and organized state plunder.
From the struggle for independence in 1963, to Saba Saba, to the 2010 Constitution, every generation of Kenyans has been called to defend freedom against greed and impunity. History is watching us now.
If we remain silent while our country is looted, future generations will remember us as the people who watched Kenya collapse and did nothing.
Read history. Defend the Constitution. Reject fear. Reject silence. Reject thieves disguised as leaders.
We must be a nation that reads, remembers, and refuses to be misled by the same old tricks. Know your history, defend your rights, and let us not be "newly" surprised by what we should have already learned.

This week our children returned to school for a new term.
During the #UkatibaCaravan, I said this plainly:
Education is not a favour the state grants to a fortunate few.
It is a right the Constitution guarantees to every child.
We did not travel around the country to make promises.
We went to remind Kenya what it is owed, and what we intend to deliver.

A two horse race is an imperialist's tactic, offering you two flawed leaders and calling it a choice. You don't need Gachagua to convince you to vote for Maraga. What are you? A moron?
Gachagua belongs in prison and that is where he is headed when Maraga wins. That is why he is strongly trying to get people to push this narrative that Maraga needs him so that he can insulate himself from being served justice.
Woe unto foolish Kenyans, who bewitched you?
I have lived in Nairobi for more than two decades now and that is why I occasionally take interest in how the city is governed. Next to where I live, there is a huge billboard with Sakaja's face on it and I see it every time I stand at the balcony. It is written "Lazima iWank". It pisses me off.
There is need for serious change in how the city is governed. I support Babu Owino's quest for the gubernatorial seat. I have had one-on-one conversations with him about it and he knows I support his quest. He is one of the 3 politicians I speak to in this country.
However, I think Babu has very little grasp of issues affecting Nairobians and how to solve them. I even doubt if his focus is on the governor's seat; he is all over. Apart from the infantile and puerile slogans, useless cacophony, and jumping on podiums and SUV sunroofs, Babu has absolutely NO grasp on policies and systems that should be put in place to rescue the city. It's a disturbing trend. Every interview he does pushes him down the rabbit hole and the emptiness becomes more evident. I hope he doesn't close the barn door after the horse is gone.
