Edwin Sifuna: Mumias, it was one of the most thriving towns in this country, lakini kwa sababu ya ufisadi ulioingilia, Mumias is now a shell of what it used to be. Wakati Mumias ilikuwa inafanya kazi, it was the single largest taxpayer in Western Kenya
There’s a reason they won’t push this as Grand Coalition, because they know very well this is the kind of coalition that has the potential to serve Kenyans, not their interests.
A Maraga, Omtatah and Sifuna led government has the potential to right so many wrongs in this country. That is exactly why the conversation will quickly shift to who can bring votes, who has numbers and who is “electable”, not because they care about Kenya but because they need politicians they can control and who will protect the very system that has looted this country for decades.
This idea that we need Person A, B or C because they will “bring votes” needs to end.
Go out there and campaign for the candidate you believe in, talk to your family, talk to your cousins, talk to your grandparents, form groups, have conversations, convince people… this is how democracies are won.
No one has a monopoly on votes in this country. As someone once said, THE VOTER IS THE KINGMAKER!!
Why are we waiting for the same political class that helped ruin this country to tell us which direction Kenya should take? Until we understand that the opposition is not a group of wealthy politicians fighting each other but you, the people, demanding better leadership, we will keep surrendering our power to those who have never had our interests at heart.
WANTAM!!
Rwanda's Affordable Housing Program made more considerations when compared to the monstrosities we have in Kenya. They understood lifts are good but not practical, they appreciated what water means to a home. Huku ni 14 floors bila break.
Britain tops the list of the most violent nations in history, 100 millions in India alone. The most enduring legacy of the British empire is not civilization but all genres of violence including mercenaries, goons and pseudo-gangs used against liberation groups like the Mau Mau
Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah wants High Court to declare tallying and verification at the National Tallying Centre illegal, says results announced at the Constituency level are final.
Dear @HonAmasonKingi, @HonWetangula@Aaroncheruiyot & @KIMANIICHUNGWAH
🌻A statute cannot amend the Constitution — but that’s exactly what this Bill attempts.
🌻The Election Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026 (Sec. 19, amending Sec. 39 of the Elections Act) deletes IEBC’s obligation to livestream results as declared at polling stations — the exact transparency safeguard born out of the 2007/08 post-election chaos and reinforced by successive Supreme Court petitions.
🌻Livestreaming isn’t a courtesy — it operationalizes Articles 10, 38, 81 & 86 of the Constitution: transparency, verifiability, free & fair elections. You cannot excise a constitutional safeguard through an ordinary Act of Parliament and call it a “technical amendment.”
🌻Sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot & Minority Leader Stewart Madzayo — now at Committee of the Whole. If passed, Kenyans lose real-time access to Form 34A data at polling stations; only IEBC’s own portal uploads remain, with no mandated live feed.
🌻We saw what happens when transmission becomes opaque. This isn’t reform — it’s insulation of the tallying process from public scrutiny ahead of 2027 @IEBCKenya
Watching this satire, I realize, alas, there is a political logic to Kenya’s endemic poverty, high education fees, university strikes, killing of educated GenZs, youth unemploment, over-taxation, hypes and lies. It is PAWLITICS—the kind of politics hyenas play. God save Kenya.
A video of Lang'ata MP Jalang'o asking Kenyans to fund his campaign has resurfaced. The MP, who is now mocking Linda Mwananchi and Edwin Sifuna for seeking help from Kenyans, might have forgotten where he came from a few years ago!
Senator Sifuna once stood before his party leader, the late Hon. Raila Odinga, and declared that if President Ruto broke any part of the agreed agenda in the written agreement, he would have breached the agreement they had signed.
