Laikipia Needs a Vision Beyond Politics
For far too long, Laikipia’s progress has been at the mercy of political transitions. One governor starts a transformative project; the next one scraps it. Roads are left unfinished, irrigation schemes stall, and industries never take off. Meanwhile, our people continue to struggle, not because of a lack of ideas, but because of a lack of continuity.
This must stop.
It is time for Laikipians leaders, citizens, and stakeholders to rise above politics and craft a long-term blueprint that outlives individual ambitions. Laikipia Vision 2050 should be our commitment to the future, a binding charter passed by the County Assembly to ensure that every leader, regardless of party or ideology, follows through on a shared development agenda.
Imagine a thriving Rumuruti, no longer a dusty town but an agricultural-industrial hub feeding the nation. Picture Doldol as a modern metropolis, buzzing with commerce and opportunity. Visualize Laikipia’s tourism circuit, not as an afterthought, but as a world-class attraction drawing millions. Think of 300,000 acres under irrigation, powered by megadams, making food insecurity a thing of the past. Envision a mining industry that creates wealth for our people instead of leaving them in perpetual poverty.
This is not a dream,it is possible. But only if we stop thinking in five-year election cycles and start planning for the next 25 years. It is time to put Laikipia first.
The question is: Will we rise to the occasion, or will we let another generation suffer because of our political short-sightedness? The future is calling. Let’s answer.
Yours Truly,

Sasa tuko kwa our able DP Kithure Kindiki's home village.
Wamunyoro who was blocking development is out of the way and you can see maendeleo ni mazuri.
Ndindi Nyoro might not be that ordinary politician.
He has been in the hands of Ruto and, since Ruto has been a man on a mission, then Nyoro might be Ruto's tool to accomplish the mission.
I fear that Ndindi will be used to counter Riggy G's popularity thus dividing the region
MPs are so silent on the matter of Nduta in Vietnam.
The reason of the silence is fear that they would be ousted frm parliamentary committees.
No Ps or CS has indipendently spoken.
Kesho they will flood their messages congratulating Ruto that he intervened on same issue
It was wise for Bishop Ole sapit to stop politicians in his altar.
His, altar because altars nowadays are no longer God's. They are money laundering basement.
Sakaja and Gachagua on the same stage was lethal. It would have been a second Vietnam
Nduta is the next Woman Rep for Murang'a.
Mt. Kenya Region love international criminals.
Presidents Uhuru and Ruto were whole heartedly supported after the ICC case In this region
While Nduta is facing the lowest moment of her time, i wish to remind president Ruto, that while they were facing their lowest moments at the ICC Hague, Kenyans stood with them.
Support Nduta get freedom and be taken through the Kenyan judicial system
The Nduta case is agood lesson to we Kenyans, that there are countries which are strict on matters law.
We sympathize with the family and send our prayers. May Nduta find freedom home
simba wa Africa atanyeshewa vibaya sana in the #AUelections and this is not a kikuyu vs others vote as the narrative has always been .
A win for Mahmoud is a win for Kenyans and the entire of Africa. for those at their retirement age, we wish them safe skies back home
The #AUCElections will vindicate the kikuyus and how the lake region feel that we hate their leader. shld he lose on this, he must seek resign completely from politics and call for a meeting at Kamukunji to apologize to his people and the kikuyus Moreso to the late Kibaki
Raila Odinga in the #AUCElections doesn't represent Kenya's interest in the AU. Ruto is in the political ICU and the only machine keeping his political heart beating is Baba. Just as any man could spend to zero to safe a life, is exactly what he is doing for a Raila's win.
Nyinyi mko na Baba Rao na sisi tuko na Baba Yao
Baba Rao wenu anaenda kuwania AUC chairmanship na ataangamia uko #AUCElections
Baba Yao wetu anaenda jela lakini ataimbuka mshindi
Waititu, raila odinga, #RutoMustGo aucelection
@AfricanHub_ He is a con....... Look at the number of MPs accompanying him, just to cheer and misuse our taxes... Yet over taxation is killing businesses in Kenya... Bure kabisa
