It has been a very long, but truly worthwhile journey.
Thank you to everyone who played a part in making this possible. Your contributions will be remembered for generations to come.
Senate, over to you. We will then follow up on the implementation God willing.

At University of Nairobi, Babu Owino was on another level 🔥 na jamaa alikuwa mngori sana akiwa student leader.
Back then, he could spend over KSh 3.5M in a single campaign year…
Now imagine what that amount would be worth today 👀💰
Lord, give me the wisdom of Solomon, the courage of David, the integrity of Daniel, the strategy of Nehemiah and the favour of Joseph. Keep my heart clean and never allow ambition to take me away from You.
HIS EXCELLENCY THE FARMER...🚜 🚜🚜🇰🇪
It was an INCREDIBLE and truly EYE-OPENING Sunday afternoon I had with His Excellency President William Samoei Ruto before leaving Kenya. I had gone to say goodbye briefly, but what was supposed to be a simple farewell turned again into an unforgettable afternoon. After having lunch, His Excellency personally took time to drive me around his farm and show me the different agricultural projects he is undertaking , I was truly amazed and genuinely IMPRESSED.
Beyond being the President of the Republic of Kenya, President Ruto is an accomplished and passionate FARMER. From the beautiful macadamia plantations, to maize production, cattle ranching with more than 3,000 sheep which, among other things, naturally help manage the grass around the macadamia trees. Everything I saw reflected a different level of PLANNING, DISCIPLINE and result orientated PRODUCTIVITY. He spoke passionately about agriculture and FOOD SECURITY, and you immediately realise that this is not merely government policy to him — farming and feeding his nation is something he PRACTICES himself. In a similar spirit, His Excellency President E.D. Mnangagwa our Zimbabwe KING has also consistently emphasised agriculture and food security, encouraging practical farming, resilience, and national self-sufficiency as key pillars for safeguarding the future of his nation. From what I gathered , President Ruto’s farming interests extend across several farms, and the level of organisation is remarkable.
What impressed me even more was the MAN himself , for the President of an amazing country to spend an afternoon having lunch with me, then again personally driving me around and patiently explaining his farming projects speaks volumes about his HUMILITY. President Ruto is incredibly hardworking, hands-on and passionate about DEVELOPMENT. When you walk around a well-run farm and see how systematically everything has been put together, you begin to understand something about the mind behind it.
Leadership is ultimately about the ability to ORGANISE people, resources and ideas towards a productive outcome. A country is obviously far more complex than any farm or company, but the principles of PLANNING, ACCOUNTABILITY, RESOURCE MANAGEMENT and EXECUTION remain important. When you see excellence in the smaller things a leader personally manages, it can tell you something about their approach to the bigger responsibilities entrusted to them.
To all those who dream of becoming PRESIDENTS one day, dreams are wonderful, but start by BUILDING something. Start a small business or at least run a tuck shop, build a small factory, employ a few people, grow some maize and try SOMETHING!!! Learn what it means to manage money, solve problems, meet obligations and turn an idea into something PRODUCTIVE. Leadership is not merely standing behind a microphone and making speeches , it is the ability to MAKE THINGS WORK.
Thank you Your Excellency President William Ruto, for your extraordinary hospitality, humility and priceless friendship. I left your farm with tremendous respect for your passion for AGRICULTURE and FOOD SECURITY. Kenya is blessed with enormous agricultural potential, and seeing its HEAD OF STATE AND GOVERNMENT personally passionate about farming was truly inspiring.
I had GREAT AFTERNOON with a GREAT FARMER and above everything else A VERY HUMBLE and HARDWORKING MAN. 🇰🇪🇿🇼🙏🏽
There is a liver and pancreas epidemic wiping out Kenyan men right now and the silence is deafening.
Nobody is talking about it.
Nobody is panicking.
But we are still burying people.
The cause?
Kenyan alcohol.
This month ALONE I’ve counted 8 friends admitted with liver or pancreatic damage.
Eight. Bloated stomachs, abdominal pain so severe it won’t subside no matter what the doctors do.
The UK has put Kenya on a watchlist for dangerous alcohol.
Rwanda has banned some of our liquor outright.
Other countries are shutting it out too.
The whole world can see what’s poisoning us and we’re still pouring it.
A few years ago we buried a brilliant CEO. Liver destroyed by drink.
By the time the doctors understood what was happening, he was already dead.
Getting a legit drink in this country is now a gamble with your life.
I have friends who will only drink in ONE place they trust, because everywhere else is a coin toss between a night out and a hospital bed.
The doctors aren’t sugarcoating it anymore.
They’re telling survivors: “Take one sip and tell your family where you want to be buried.”
Drink the same brand abroad and it tastes like heaven.
Same label. Same bottle. Different poison.
That’s how we know it’s us.
We cannot keep killing our own people for profit.
I am tired of visiting friends in hospital for alcohol poisoning.
How many more before somebody cracks down on this madness? @InteriorKE@kipmurkomen@NACADAKenya
Clarity + Consistency.
Be known for one thing. Talk about it often. Demonstrate it relentlessly.
People don't remember what you occasionally do, they remember what you consistently deliver.
